Author's Review
I grew up driving Buicks. That's all my parents owned for years. So when it was time to buy my first "grown-up" car when our first child came, I naturally went to the Buick dealership. After driving this car for 2 years, I can't say it's the car I was expecting.
First, the front seats are horrible! Even when I'm not pregnant, my back feels like it's breaking after sitting in this car for more than 20-30 minutes. Plus, I HATE the leather interior that the salesman told me I would love.
Second, there seems to be an electrical issue. We haven't taken it in, because we are getting rid of it in the next few months. At times the driver's side of the heating systems decides not to work. The temp will be set for 65 and it's blowing hot air. The volumn control on the steering wheel randomly stops working.
Third, there is occassionally rattle in the front when you hit bumps in the road. Again, don't want to deal with taking it in, because we are looking for a new car.
Fourth, the passenger's seat adjustment is not electric, but we knew that when we bought the car.
Finally, the road noise is pretty loud. I don't remember that much when we bought the car.
The best things about this car are the very nice stereo system that came standard with a CD & a tape player and the HUGE trunk. Also, the car simply feels safe driving. I don't feel like I'm in a plastic box like I feel in my friends' Toyotas and Saturns. I also like the fact that the seat belt height is adjustable which is handy since I'm 10 inches shorter than my husband. Ultimately, this car does have some real "get-up and go" with the 3800 engine.
