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.

  Perfection - 2006 Buick Lucerne
  By Bobbie - October 13 - 5:56 am

  Nicest car I have ever owned. Quiet & smooth. Lots of things to learn & program. Safety features were important to me & the Lucerne has them all. Feel safe & secure in that car. Love the way it handles. I look for places to go so I can drive it every day. Took it on a 7 hour trip. The Rain- sense Wipers were extremely efficient. Having all the controls---Radio--- Cruise on the steering wheel. Great Idea. Beautiful, Rich looking interior. Hope to have this car aroound for a long time.

  This vehicle has all of the necessary features that are required in todays luxury cars. The OnStar is a great extra safety feature when traveling a long distance from home.

  Lemon of all Lemons - 2006 Buick Lucerne
  By CK1 - September 28 - 4:33 am

  After three Hondas I decided to get a roomier family sedan than the Accord. I heard nothing but good things about the Lucerne. Within one day of purchasing the right rear passanger door would not open. Warranty repair. Three days later there was a loud metallic grinding. The dust cover for the crankshaft was rubbing against the crankshaft. Warranty repair. The keyless remote broke three times. Three trips to the dealership. Yesterday the oil pump failed and starved the engine of oil. The engine has to be completely replaced. The car is three months old and has 2500 miles on it! I spent most of those miles driving to get it repaired. I am going to attempt a GM buyback.

  Nice Car - 2006 Buick Lucerne
  By Big Ed - August 15 - 12:43 pm

  Just picked up my Lucerne CXL-V8 48 hours ago but so far I love it. Buick finally built something that caught my eye. Ordered a dark blue one with chrome wheels, it looks great and I enjoy the Northstar V8 power. Have been getting some looks on the road, I think people are stunned its a Buick.

  Affordable luxury - 2006 Buick Lucerne
  By George - May 27 - 1:00 pm

  V-8 gives this vehicle quick response, with none of sluggishness in my previous Auroras. Tends to swerve a bit on quick turns or lane changes. Very roomy inside for all passengers front and back with firm but comfortable seating. Side vision is a bit obscured between the placement or width of the roof beams. Trunk release is awkwardly placed in glove box.

  Excellent Auto - 2006 Buick Lucerne
  By Wayne - May 12 - 6:53 am

  Drove auto across country two days after purchase. Excellent trip, comfort driving and riding. No complaints, good gas mileage, or 26 mpg. Driven locally since and same positive experience. Did not tire me out to drive.

  Former LeSabre Owner - 2006 Buick Lucerne
  By Phil - May 12 - 3:33 am

  Having owned three LeSabres, I have been a loyal Buick owner. I was about to change to something new when the Lucerne came along. Its a great improvement, delivering the comfort of the LeSabre with much better styling. The 17 inch wheels deliver a smooth comfortable ride. I opted for the Sharkskin ($900.00) paint and find that the color gives the car a more European look. 3 months of driving and very pleased over all.

  Buick has a winner - 2006 Buick Lucerne
  By Jim Van Auwelaer - March 2 - 7:03 am

  Owned this car for three months and love its handling, performance, and styling. If you can afford the extra money and the 2 less miles/gallon, the Northstar V8 is the only way to go. Much more refined than the 3.8 6 cyl. Also the speed sensitive steering with the V8 makes handling much better. Without it, the cars steering is too loose and gives the feeling of instability at higher speeds. Quietest car Ive ever owned.
