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

  Simply a great vehicle - 2006 Buick Lucerne
  By AHK - January 28 - 12:30 pm

  This new Buick has it all, excellent styling, performance, ride, handling, workmanship, etc. Just got it and it is a dream come true. A world class car. GM has come up with a winner. A real head turner. Drives and handles so much better than past Buicks and other vehicles. My wife loves it. So glad we made the choice. First saw it at the Auto Show, and we knew this was the car.

  Buick finds its way again! - 2006 Buick Lucerne
  By Sam Spear - January 28 - 10:43 am

  This car is quiet, powerful, well- built, comfortable, and an absolute joy to drive. The sound system is exceptional. The drive train is smooth, but gets the car up to cruising speed in a hurry. Mine is Black Onyx and is quite eye-catching. This is Buick as Buick should be - a premium car in every respect!

  WOW! - 2006 Buick Lucerne
  By CG - November 19 - 6:10 pm

  Ive owned appx. 6 DL88s and a Buick LeSabre over the past 15 years - all new. This vehicle has all the positive features of those (3.6L V6)- but improved, upgraded, and more fun. Feels luxurious, handles like a sports car and is a head turner. Congratulations BUICK - super!

  Very pleased, great car - 2006 Buick Lucerne
  By Dog gone it - August 17 - 11:23 pm

  This is a classy car with comfort and style. Loads of trunk space, rear leg room and glass. Big turning radius and some blind spots in side and rear. Steering wheel controls need wrap around protector to keep from accidentaly touching when griping the wheel. A bit difficult to exit as bucket seat seems deep and high. I still rate it a 10. On-star is great and already has been put to good use. On 840 mile expressway trip it delivered 29 MPG at mostly 70 mph but including small amount of city streets. In city/express mostly about 24 MPG. Im satisfied with mileage. Six cylinder is enough power but if you want added zip there is the V8.

  Way to go, Buick - 2006 Buick Lucerne
  By Oldguy - July 30 - 3:06 am

  We took delivery on Dec 15 and have driven 2000 miles since. We drove an Avalon and the Lucerne is way ahead in styling and equal or above in comfort. The rear assist for parking is very handy and being able to turn the heat on the back of the seat is very comfortable for a bad back. Everything is positive except for two minor details. The trunk release is very inconvenient to access in the glove box,and the placement of the compass needs to be back on the rear view mirror. Other than that Id rate it a 10.

  A good choice for a large sedan - 2006 Buick Lucerne
  By Bob - April 17 - 1:36 am

  This car is comfortable and very quiet. It is a real performer on winding roads and on the highway. I have never driven a front wheel drive with practically so little over steer on sharp turns. GM engineers got this one right. Found it more confortable than the Avalone and Azera, maybe due to the longer wheelbase. Were I to do it again, I would have bought the V8. The gas milage on the V6 is not that much different, and you need a little more "spunk" for such a heavy car.

  Beats the Imports - 2006 Buick Lucerne
  By Mike - April 13 - 10:40 pm

  The Lucerne is a fantastic car. Better looks, design, features and quality than any import (including Lexus & Toyota) we looked at. The car rides, handles, performs better than the imports. This is a major step forward for GM & the Buick line. The fit and finish on the care are exceptional. The standard features make this a great car and the price is very reasonalbe. The navigation system is better than any offering from Japan or Germany. We love the car.

  A great new car, the Lucerne - 2006 Buick Lucerne
  By Stan - April 2 - 7:30 am

  This is one of the quietest cars that I have been in and that includes my brothers Mercedes. You ride in complete luxury while traveling down the highway. It is also one of the best looking cars on the road.

  Performance - 2006 Buick Lucerne
  By Al Yates - March 29 - 12:30 pm

  I purchased my new Lucerne in January and went on vacation and I thought the performance was great. The ride and quiteness were very good. I have owned Buicks since 1997 and I believe this is the best,judging on the first 2800 miles. I think anyone should be happy with this car. The highway gas mileage was 28 as rated. I encourage anyone to try this full size car.
