This Year's Model Updates:

To recognize the Buick LeSabre's successful 10-year sales record as the best-selling full-size car in America, and to celebrate Buick's centennial anniversary in 2003, Buick has added a new trim option for the LeSabre Limited model. Buick's product planners must have been feeling particularly creative when they named it; it's called the Celebration Edition. It features a new monochrome emblem, a blacked-out grille and license plate pocket and two new premium paints, Crimson Pearl and White Diamond. Additional Celebration exterior bits include body-color lower fascias and rocker moldings, turn-signal indicators in the side mirrors and new 16-inch chrome-plated aluminum wheels. Interior refinements are limited to two-tone leather seating and Black Cherry wood grain trim. It also includes a number of otherwise optional features, such as StabiliTrak. The rest of the LeSabre line is pretty much unchanged, with the exception of XM Satellite Radio, which is a new option on the Limited, and side-impact airbags, formerly standard on all LeSabres, are now optional on Custom models.

Pros:
  • Interior room for six, huge trunk, torquey and economical V6.
Cons:
  • Fuddy-duddy image, no split-folding rear seat.

    I can drive the 70MPH speed limit to a city 100 miles away, do some driving around in the city and return home averaging 28-29 MPG. I think this is great for a car of this size. Very comfortable ride also.

  • My Buick LeSabre Custom, 2003 - 2003 Buick LeSabre
    By -

    The car is Ok as a transportation vehicle but it lacks the improvements in the Limited version. The audio system of the radio is bad and the tone controls are not effective. The climate control in the limited version of the car is much better than the manual control in my custom version. The gas mileage is just awful for driving in Boca Raton, FL traffic.

    Current model has General tires, very poor grade, vibrates at 55 MPH and over. Dealer cant solve problem, brought to independent advises to get name brand tire, this will improve ride and eliminate vibration

    I am very pleased with the performance of this car.The transmission is extremely smooth.Very little wind noise at hywy speeds. Outside noise is effectively muzzeled. This car has more than enough power to handle itself on the interstates!This car is a living room on wheels.

  • Great Trip - 2003 Buick LeSabre
    By -

    Bought the car on Friday and left for a 5,000 mile round trip on Monday. Love the ride and fuel milage. 30.6 going east and 29.3 coming back. I have a problem with the cruise control It just shuts off or doesnt come on at all. Not good on along trip. I had it into the dealer for repairs 3 times and the problem is still there. While at teh dealer 3 more owners of the same car came in with cruise control problems. I am home and hope to get to the bottom. Still love the car,hate the cruise.

  • great car for the money - 2003 Buick LeSabre
    By -

    I bought this car and love it .. I paid 19.5k brand new on sale .. It is quiet , plenty of room, great fuel economy for a large car.. I get 30 on highway, 22 around town.. Nothing could compete for the price .. I looked at Toyota Avalon, but it was a lot more money.. and Offered nothing more ..

  • New 2003 Buick LeSabre - 2003 Buick LeSabre

    After owning a 1997 Buick LeSabre, the first thing noticed on this car was the difference in the suspension. The 97 was way too soft. Go across a big bump with the car loaded, and it would bottom out. The handling of the 2003 is very positive. The suspension, although not stiff, gives the driver a feeling of being "in tune" with the car. All controls are very well located, easy to see, and easy to access. The radio controls and cruise control are conveniently located on the steering wheel. The 3.8 liter engine is a proven performer in the Buick line.
