  Stunning car, love it - 2006 Buick Lucerne
  By JMB - January 29 - 2:23 pm

  Only had it a week but I just fell in love with the pictures. I was going to go for Infinity or Jag but I wanted to wait for this car. Im glad I did. No kidding. I work at a law firm and my coworkers teased me that I had bought a Buick. Then we went out to lunch today and they were amazed. Absolutely amazed. One of my partners -- a die-hard Lexus owner -- asked to drive it. He really liked it.

  One Sweet Ride - 2006 Buick Lucerne
  By john allen newman - January 3 - 11:43 pm

  I just purchased the vehicle this month and can only say that it is one fantastic automobile. The ride is so quiet, you almost dont realize the engine is running at idle. And for those who think that there are some luxury appointments missing, no way. This car is luxury all the way, from the rich leather/wood grained interior, air/heated seats, to the remote starter; yes thats right, remote starter. From 180 feet, you can fire up the engine and have the interior waiting for your arrival at your specifications. The trunk is huge and the 18" nickel chrome plated wheels make one phat ride. If you want performance and luxury,and spend more than this, you need therapy.

  The Avalon Killer! - 2006 Buick Lucerne
  By Papa - November 6 - 2:10 am

  Looked at many full sized cars including Avalon, Amanti and Monteray. The Lucerne trumped them all for ride quality, off the line torque, quietness, trunk space when compared to the Avalon, price and appearance. Every seam and panal is very precise and nothing is out of place. The seats are far superior to the Toyotas and on an even keel with the Amanti. The Buick also has a better warrenty than Toyota and Mercury, 6 passenger room which none of the others have and better reliabilty. Love the port holes, chrome doo moldings, grille and flashy appearance too. Have seen nearly 30 mpg on the open road too. This is Buicks and GMs best kept secret.

  Solid, well built - 2006 Buick Lucerne
  By M Nolan - August 4 - 12:36 am

  Does what it is expected to do. Only drawback for me was lack of quickness from stop. But it is a big car and was not advertise as quick. Just my desire.

  Happy Owner - 2006 Buick Lucerne
  By Willie - June 3 - 1:10 pm

  I only looked at the Buick Lucerne & the Hyundai Azera,the Azera offered much more value and a better warranty and many extra features.Both cars could use more trunk space..The Azera is a stiffer ride which is fine,the Buick is a softer ride..Neither offer a automatic release of the emergency brake like the Ford does..The black trim on the Azera is a flat finish and will require a coating to keep it from turning whiteish and fading..The reason I went with the Lucerne is that it is a larger car and a American company..The Azera comes from Korea..I must say if I could afford it I would buy the Azera for the wife who now owns a Regal which has been very good..Both cars are impressive,

  Excellent Lucerne - 2006 Buick Lucerne
  By Marilou - March 28 - 10:33 pm

  This is the quietest sedan I have ever driven. It is comfortable, reliable, and I have received many compliments on the looks and ride. Due to letting others try it out, it looks like Buick will be selling a few more Lucernes. I am averaging 24 miles per gallon in the mountains of North Carolina, 29-30 miles on the expressways. Buick is and shall be my car for a long time to come.

  Return to Buick - 27 Years Later - 2006 Buick Lucerne
  By Steve Johnson - March 15 - 2:13 am

  I decided to buy a Buick after a 27 year hiatus after viewing and riding in the LaCrosse. I decided to purchase the Lucerne because it was roomier. It most reminded me of the luxury and comfort of the Duece and a quarter., The port holes really caught my attention. The only reason I did not get the V8 was due to availability (none in pool). The only thing that needs to be improved in the interior is to add an additional 12VDC power outlet at the ft or rr base of the front seat on the bench seat version. On the exterior option package, please make the chrome 17 wheels standard. The dark metal ones in VIN 6U145870 are not appealing to admirers.

  No More Round - 2006 Buick Lucerne
  By Carl Losapio - March 14 - 5:36 pm

  Best car for the price considering options and quality. Glad to see Buick finally getting away from the Le Sabre look theyve had for the past 15 years. The car is tight and handles well in traffic and is smooth on the highway. Visability is excellent and plenty of headroom for my 64 frame. I only wish they wouldnt charge me an extra $1000 for my one year of free OnStar. I know its in the base price somewhere.

  Who needs Lexus - 2006 Buick Lucerne
  By rolf westgard - February 11 - 3:16 am

  Have owned LeSabres since 99. Liked comfort, good mpg, and reliability. Handling and styling were average. The Lucerne keeps the good features of LeSabre and is much improved for styling and handling. Also quietest car I have ever ridden in. Getting about 25 mpg in local driving like LeSabre. Hwy should be the 30 mpg I got from LeSabre.
