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

  Nicest Car I Ever Owned - 2006 Buick Lucerne
  By John Summers - August 28 - 6:02 am

  This car has more bells and whistles than one can imagine. Remote start is great in south Texas where the humidity is so oppressive. Its great to get into a cool car. Gas mileage is great. I can go to Lafayette, LA and return on one tank of gas.

  I really enjoy the comfortable ride and the soundproofing that was put into this car. Excellent room and has a large truck with low riser that my wife appreciates. Considered an Avalon but this was a better value based on pricing and features.

  2006 Lucerne CX - 2006 Buick Lucerne

  Weve only had the car a couple weeks but are very happy with it so far. Rides smooth and quiet and gets better mileage than my V-6 Chevy Malibu. It feels very solid on the road. Like a friend of mine said when he saw it, "that car screams road trip!"

  Lucerne is a jewel - 2006 Buick Lucerne
  By jsieks - August 21 - 11:00 am

  After 6 months and a 3000 mile road trip to the midwest, I am still beaming about my Lucerne. Its design, a departure from older Buicks, is forward looking. The chrome portals (four of them) on each side not only designate the car as a Buick but puts a nifty look to the car. The power of the 8 cylinders in the CXL is very satisfying, allowing for safer changes of lanes on the highway and an occasional "gotcha" to all those red sports cars out there. The average MPG on the highway turns out to be about 24, not too bad for so much power and a 4000 pound vehicle. And, it is proof that an American vehicle is better than Asian cars

  So far, excellent - 2006 Buick Lucerne
  By Geonar - August 21 - 8:05 am

  Had to have wheel alignment and tires changed before delivery, because of right pulling, and tires where out of round. After this correction, car ran good. False air bag alarm while starting engine, fault cleared after several starts, no record of problem in black box.

  Best Ever - 2006 Buick Lucerne
  By Don - August 17 - 4:29 pm

  I am a 73 year old male and so have had some experience behind the wheel. This is by far the best car I have owned. The ride is smooth and quiet and the quality and fit of the interior materials is better than I expected. There are better rated cars on the road but considering the price range and target market for this vechile, it would be hard to beat. This is my third car with the GM 3.8 liter V6 and it has plenty of power at the low end where you need it. I drive freeways 5 days a week and have no trouble merging and cruising along with the traffic flow.

  Our Lucerne - 2006 Buick Lucerne
  By John R - August 16 - 10:41 am

  We have owned Buicks since 1988. Our first 3 were all Buick Rivieras - the last two were the retooled luxury sports sedans of 1995 and 1998 and we loved them. We were most disappointed when Buick shelved the Rivs. However, even though our Lucerne is 4- door, we equate its handling to that of our beloved Riviera. It is fun to drive and it is quiet. And it is sharp looking as well. After only a couple of weeks my wife and I were both saying - we love this car. Thanks Buick. You kept us around by introducing the Lucerne.

  Great car. Many people are suprised to learn that it is a Buick. Superb ride and confident and poised handling. The elegant appearance, and refined interior make this the best kept secret in the automotive world.

  The Buick Lucerne drives smoothly, handles turns to perfection, and looks great. I am very pleased with this car and enjoy riding it every day. I would recommend a test drive and you be the judge.
