Overview & Reviews
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.
- Interior room for six, huge trunk, torquey and economical V6.
- Fuddy-duddy image, no split-folding rear seat.

Unhappy - 2003 Buick LeSabre
By Unhappy - July 30 - 5:07 pmI purchased by 2003 Buick new. At 52,000 miles the stability system is totally gone. My outside drivers mirror is fogging up on the inside (I have the type that automatticaly goes from day to night plus its heated). My heated seat doesnt work. Half the lights in my dash are out. On the way home from our cottage, my radio and air conditioner just cut out by themselves. (I was able to turn them back on.) My dashboard lights dim. My two-tone leather seat split at a seam (very rarely to I have anyone in back). Im so upset with the car Im trading it in for a Toyota. When American cars start being built to last, Ill consider one again. This was our seventh GM product.

Poorest Buick I have owned since 1985 - 2003 Buick LeSabre
By Rog665 - March 13 - 10:33 pmI have been purchasing Buick LeSabres since 1985. The 1999 I had had a problem with the intake manifold. When I purchased this 2003 I ask the salesman if GM had fixed the problem with the intake manifolds warping and leaking. He said they did. He lied. I just had to replace the intake manifold on this 2003. You would think that since this problem has been around for so long GM would have fixed it in production. I dont think I will every buy another GM product..

My Buick LeSabre Custom, 2003 - 2003 Buick LeSabre
By DonLeVine - October 12 - 2:00 amThe 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.

A great ride - 2003 Buick LeSabre
By Horsetrader - May 24 - 2:00 amI experience a distinct vibration on the steering wheel, dashboard, front seats,brake pedal. This occurs at slow (2-3) mph and stoped with motor running in idle and transmission in drive. Put i in Neutral snd vibration eases. I have had it in for service 4 times and service manager says this is normal. I have drove ford 4cylander and oldsmobile 6 cylander. Both with no vibration. I have complained to Buick Company but they give me no hopes that they can fix the vibration. They(Buick) promised to write me a letter of explination. I am on verge of filing with the Florida Lemon Law.

Alternator Noise/Bad Seats - 2003 Buick LeSabre
By Jim Miller - December 22 - 2:00 amAnnoying alternator noise in cabin...Buick is aware of it but they are in denial and wont do anything about it. Trunk leak (common in LeSabres) and airbag module replacement in the first 5000 miles...other than this its ok. Need to upgrade General OEM tires. The fabric seats in the Custom are easily the worst Ive seen. Seat too small...not contoured well and they wrinkle and come loose. Ive replace drivers side covers already (ref to Bulletin)
