    Buick SeSabre saved me from at least four accidents. One of them would have been extremely serious. There was a "pile-up" on a major highway (Rt 24 West in NJ and I was able to "stop on a dime" and avoided hitting the car in front of me. The braks on this vehicle are better than any other vehicle I have ever driven. Thats eight different cars in my lifetime - and Im OLD! (66) I feel perfectly safe in this car and it looks SOOoo Beautiful!

    In a word, smooth. No mind boggling performance, dont throw this soft riding machine into curves with abandon just drive safely and enjoy gobs of seamless power and shifting, and go for tireless miles of trouble free driving with outstanding gas mileage. So its what your mom & dad or grandma & grandpa drive? Maybe they know something you dont???

    I began to have steering problems about 1500 miles into my ownership of this auto. At highway speeds it would suddenly feel like I was hydro-planing or hit a patch of ice. It felt as if the back end wanted to go one way and the front end another and turning the steering wheel had no effect for a couple of seconds. They have re- aligned the tires and found one that was defective and replaced that one. This problem began after I made a hard stop, but not an emergency stop, and the "Traction off" light came on. No matter what I tried (even turning off the motor), I could not get that light to go off. They found a problem with a wire and the brakes. It still does not drive right.

  • Surprised Return Buyer - 2001 Buick LeSabre
    By -

    In the market for a car to replace a 93 Buick Skylark, with which we werent very happy (small size, poor comfort, and a glove compartment door constantly rattled), we were surprised at how comfortable and roomy the LeSabre proved, and after over one year of ownership weve had no problems. Were relatively happy with the gas mileage--over 27 mpg (city)
