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.

  Awesome - 2006 Buick Lucerne
  By John Horton - October 24 - 3:33 am

  Just got it. Excellent. I cant say enough. So much better than previous generation Buicks. This is a much better car than Avalon, which I also tested. Im 36, and my buddies think this is one cool ride.

  Lucerne is the best buy - 2006 Buick Lucerne
  By Jjohn - October 11 - 3:33 am

  I shopped around about a year before I came across the Lucerne CXS. My car is loaded! All of the extras I wanted were standard equipment. When comparing with otherluxury models, the Lucerne CXS by far was the best buy. The ride is awesome!

  Performance Package at a Value Price - 2006 Buick Lucerne
  By bill bane - October 2 - 3:30 pm

  I have owned a number of Cadillac STSs and generallly partial to GM products. However, a new STS with the performance trim list was in excess of $60k and the DTS similarly equiped was $50+k. The CXS was priced just under $37k. It has the all the equipment: Northstar, stabilatrack, magnetic ride control, variable raitio steering, 18 inch wheels and more. I enjoy driving this car. It has ample accelelation and corners well for a large car with plenty of room in the back seat as well as the front. The leather seats and wood trim rival both the domestic and foreign competition. I popped for the wood/leather steering wheel and wood shift. I think this car is fun and great value!

  My Buick CXS is a Dream Vehicle - 2006 Buick Lucerne
  By RDS - August 15 - 1:00 pm

  I initially drove the XL & purchased a CXL for a weekend. The CXS is a whole different breed of vehicle. The V8 engine & the 18-inch wheels make the drive a lot like the Buicks of old. I love the ride as well as the four pseudo vent holes on the front fenders. The Northstar V8 has excellent acceleration -- I felt that the V6 engine even though very adequate did not have the smooth acceleration of the V8. I know that gas is very costly now but the ride & the power of this vehicle make it wonderful. I feel like a little kid when driving it. I considered a Cadillac STS but this car was $6,000- $7,000 less with the same engine & drive train. I love my CXS very much & highly recommend it.

  My New Lucerne - 2006 Buick Lucerne

  Easy to handle and a pleasure to drive. The Harmon-Kardon radio with XM is fantastic

  Finally a great car from GM - 2006 Buick Lucerne
  By bob politza - July 31 - 11:40 am

  I traded in my 2001 A6 2.7t quattro for this car and LOVE IT! Much quieter than the audi and handles just as good! Fit and finish is on par with the a6 and the styling is better! I test drove the new Avalon, m35, and tl but this car WON. It has the best combination of styling, luxury, price, and performance. This is the first American car Ive owned in a long time! Great car BUICK!!!

  On the road again. - 2006 Buick Lucerne
  By Mary - July 13 - 5:53 pm

  I love my Buick. It is 10 years old now. And always reliable. Only thing I did wrong was buy heavier snow tires for it and dont like the ride. So am changing the tires now. But have 83,000 miles on it and this will be the third set of tires. Maybe they will be the last.

  Buick: Depenable & Luxurious - 2006 Buick Lucerne
  By Robert - May 23 - 12:16 am

  This has to be one of the best automobiles GM has ever built. I just picked it up a couple days ago, and I love it. I have owned a few GM vehicles in the past, and all I can say is GREAT job. The car rides smooth, drives smooth, and GM was not kidding when they said this car is QUIET. I feel safe in this car being a large sedan, but you feel like you are driving a midsize sport sedan. The craftsmanship of the car is "Beyond Precision." Gas mileage is 27-28. This is one car that GM should not have to use rebates to sell, especially when the car is competitively priced. The car won me over, and I said I would never drive a "grandpa car." Thinking of a Toyota, think again and try a Buick!!!

  Best New Car Ever Purchased - 2006 Buick Lucerne
  By Randy Reddell - January 25 - 11:46 am

  Buick got it together this time with the Lucerne CXS. Great appearance and smooth, quiet ride. The Northstar V-8 is awesome on power and response. Built tight and handles smoothly with the 18-inch tires and stabililty-track system. Interior is elegant in appearance; leather bucket seats are extremely comfortable with every adjustment feature at fingertip or memory. Interior is roomy with plenty of leg room especially in the back seat. This car is in the luxury class. As a previous Cadillac owner, the Lucerne CXS has it all at a great price. Best new car Ive seen for 2006. The Lucerne CXS is top choice for new car full-size sedan.

  Wow - 2006 Buick Lucerne
  By JaneandWaldo - January 13 - 12:10 am

  I have owned 3 LeSabres in the past and have been very pleased with them. Once I got my hands on this car I was way past pleased. This car has everything you could want and more. It has performance, styling, and creature features. I just love the heated/cooled seats, heated windshield washer, XM satellite radio, and the power from the Northstar V8. If I could afford to buy another one for myself (This one is my wifes main drive) I would do it in a heartbeat.
