  Lucerne review. - 2006 Buick Lucerne
  By bbrassas - July 13 - 9:17 pm

  My wife and I thoroughly enjoy driving the Lucerne. It handles well and is a great car on the highways. We think its appearance is great, second to none. All in all, a wonderful car. We enjoy the accessories, especially the automatic windshield wipers, and the automatic seat/mirrors that adjust to each of us. Its the nicest car weve ever owned!

  All around a good vehicle for the price - 2006 Buick Lucerne
  By Happy in WinterHaven - July 13 - 10:20 am

  Have been with GM Since 96. This is my 6th since then. Have been pleased with all but look forward to the better warrenty in this one. Like the retro ports in the design The back is a little plain. Color selection was good. Got the White Gold Flash. Rides very well, seats are comfortable. Plenty of space. Large trunk. Quiet. Found a bubble in the headliner. Dealer Holly was very responsive as usual. Navigation system not as good as my Garmin in some ways, but I had that for three years so I hope I get to know this one as well. I may not be used to it yet.

  An Amazing Luxury Car! - 2006 Buick Lucerne
  By Dave - July 12 - 8:50 pm

  This car was well worth my 6-month wait as it has already exceeded my high expectations. The comfort, styling, performance it provides rivals that of much more expensive luxury cars such as Mercedes Benz, BMW, Infinity, Cadillac and the like. It is also fun to learn how to use all of the options and realize how sophisticated the electronics are in choosing how you want to operate the car. Im also very pleased with the OnStar service as it is very easy to use.

  Cool Car - 2006 Buick Lucerne
  By RC - July 11 - 11:48 pm

  Bought CXS with all the options. Have had the car for about 3 weeks. Really like the ride and the comfort. Engine has excellent power and the trans is really smooth. Have owned a Park Ave. in the past and really liked it. I have the sharkskin color and it is really an awesome paint color. I am pleased with the car. The 18" wheels give it a very nice look and ride. Looking forward to many comfortable miles. Would recommend this vehicle to anyone looking for a quality car at a very good price.

  Lucerne CXS - 2006 Buick Lucerne
  By J.S. Martin - July 5 - 4:03 pm

  After reading lots of reviews and taking several test drives, I had narrowed the field down to the Toyota Avalon and the Buick Lucerne. The 0% financing coupled with a bit of patriotism shifted the balance to the Lucerne. So far, I have not been disappointed. The car feels extremely solid and is whisper quiet, even on Oklahoma roads. Acceleration is acceptable, but not exactly breathtaking. This is probably the most comfortable car I have driven.

  AWESOME!!! - 2006 Buick Lucerne
  By goodcarl - July 3 - 2:36 pm

  I ordered my car on Nov. 25 and picked it up on Jan. 25. This is the first time that I have ever owned an American brand new car. It was Infiniti 35M or Lucerne. Options on Lucerne not on Infiniti. The acceleration is smooth and quick. You hardly feel the gears shifting. At 70 MPH on the hwy, with the windows closed, the car is so quiet that the only noise you hear is the faint hum of the engine. Its a little eerie. Enough room in the back for a football game. I got two remotes, 1 for memory setting 1 and 1 for memory setting 2. I was using rmt 2 but setting 1 in car. Hitting mem 1 didnt work too well until the dealer figured it out. OnStar features are exceptional, esp. the phone.

  Great Car - 2006 Buick Lucerne
  By azguy - June 2 - 5:26 am

  I purchased my Lucerne CXL with a 6 cylinder 2 weeks ago. I added the luxury package as well as the driver confidence package and my M.S.R.P. was still under $30,000. I have owned several luxury cars in past years and I have to say that the Lucerne dollar for dollar is in my opionion the best overall buy of any new car. the ride is just unbelievably quiet, the leather 8 way bucket seats are extremely comfortable,dual climate control is great & the driver information center together with the OnStar keeps you informed of everything from how many miles per gallon to when you need an oil change. I researced all the cars on the market and the Lucerne was in a class of its own for the price.

  Lucerne 2006 CXL - 2006 Buick Lucerne
  By Jim - May 9 - 8:16 pm

  The initial drive was very good. However, several problems occured immediately. First the catalytic converter failed and was replaced at 1200 miles under warranty. Second the engine is giving off noises during acceleration at 2200 miles. The front seats creak during starts and stops after 2000 miles. Initially it seems a great car, however I am not so sure anymore.
