Overview & Reviews

Replacing the aging LeSabre and Park Avenue is a new full-size sedan called the Buick Lucerne. Based on the Cadillac DTS platform, the Lucerne seats up to six and can be equipped with GM's Northstar V8.

• Extremely quiet and comfortable ride, available V8 engine, supportive front seats, huge backseat, easy-to-operate controls.

• Subpar brakes, sluggish handling on CX and CXL models, weak V6 for this class, lacks expected convenience, luxury and safety features, inconsistent build quality.

  RAM - 2006 Buick Lucerne
  By Roger - September 25 - 10:32 am

  My third Buick, previous two were LeSabres. This is by far the best, a smooth quite ride. The 3.8 V6 has plenty of power for me.

  A true luxury vehicle - 2006 Buick Lucerne

  Abeautiful vehicle. Turns heads everywhere I go. Very comfortable ride, and extremely roomy in front and back seats. I am a GM girl, however, this is my first Buick. So far, so good.

  Great CXS - 2006 Buick Lucerne
  By Perry - September 13 - 3:38 pm

  I really enjoy my CXS. I decided on the CXS over the 300. It had everything that I wanted and was more reasonably priced. It is definitely a keeper.

  Disgusted with this vehicle. - 2006 Buick Lucerne
  By Eldon Lindsey - September 11 - 7:03 pm

  This vehicle has a long list of items that do not work as they should. The left side mirror insists on moving to where you cannot use it. The DIC says I get 13.8 MPG, my check says I get 10.2, 10.3, 13.0, 13.1. It locks itself if you do not take the key out. I found a cable hanging loose under the car. The sunroof would not close until I repaired it. I have not been able to get "Mr. Goodwrench to repair anything on this car. The drivers seat races forward when I unlock the car, before I can get in. And they are more problems with this car, the Lucerne CXS. I currently have a commplaint filed with BBB.

  Good Value - 2006 Buick Lucerne
  By jollyviking30 - September 8 - 6:41 pm

  The setting of, and operation of the controls is very confusing. Damn car wants to take over ( ie windshield wipers, lights etc)Brakes are very weak, and I know the pads are going to have to be changed yearly. Mileage is not very good, and no gas station attendant has figured out how to open the gas cap .I love the color and shape of this car. Overall I liked my 1997 Bonnevile better.

  Buick Lucerne - 2006 Buick Lucerne
  By not old - September 7 - 9:03 am

  On a recent 2200 mi trip I really enjoyed my drive. I drove the entire trip by myself. I did find that the seats were comfortable and the heated seat helped with fatigue even in July. Avg about 29 mpg at 75 - 80 mph. There was a problem with the AC dripping condensation on my left foot.

  We find it a very quiet, responsive, comfortable car. No regrets. Just the gas mileage.

  Stylish enough for the younger crowd - 2006 Buick Lucerne
  By Ray - September 1 - 4:48 pm

  This is the best car I have ever been in. I am so happy to own this car. The 0% does not hurt either. So quiet. I dont have the worry that I would have if I had bought the Huyndai Azera. Toyota fell off with the 2007 Camry and Avalon. Now that I own a Lucerne, I dont want any any of the others. When driving the other cars I still wanted a Lucerne. And Im only 31 yrs old.

  Disgusted with the vehicle - 2006 Buick Lucerne
  By Eldon Lindsey - August 28 - 10:40 pm

  I have discovered a multiple of defects in the mechanics of this vehicle. Prominent is the left side mirror moves to unusable positions. Mechanics have refused to repair the defect after bringing it to them about 10 times. Also, the sunroof would not close. I had to repair it. I found a cable loose under the car the second day I owned it. Gas mileage has registered as low as 10.2 MPG, while the DIC says 13.8 consistently. The doors sometimes lock on their own when the vehicle is setting still, unattended. And there are more.

  My driving experience - 2006 Buick Lucerne
  By Horace alex jr - August 28 - 6:14 am

  This car does for me what the big boys have without the price. A very smooth ride with the feal and ride to a much heavier auto. To this point no problems with realibality. As much power as one will need in todays driving world. Fuel comsumption is better than expected with the V-6 at about 19.5 city and 29 hiway. Very large rear seeting area for 3 normal size indivuals. Sporty body style .
