Well I am happy you fellows enjoy your new Lucernes. Compaired to my wife's 2000 LeSabra, mine is a poor second. The Lucerne rides like a tank, pulls to the right, and mileage sucks. It is scheduled for the dealer today. Hope they can make it into a Buick and not a 64 volkswagon.

Polarzal:

Which model Lucerne do you have? Engine? Suspension? Wheels/tires? Give us a little more info please.Edited by: Tony

</>Can't say i'm too pleased with mine either. Interior door handle rattles, passenger headrest rattles, car pulls to theleft, steering isnon-responsive,unreliable handling/controlin the snow - a little uncharacteristic for a front wheel drive IMO, suspension leveling system is stuck in the UP position....AGAIN (twice)!


The car in my opinion has potential. Its only a CX which may or may not contribute to the handling - my understanding is that the CXS and CXL have unique suspensions, true? Idon't mind making a few upgrades in terms of suspension to improve the handling on this bus if i have too; springs, shocks, sway bar, etc. The car is primarily used for business travel, so i'm in it ALOT.


Iwork in a sales capacity for the company that manufacturers the grille for the currentLucerneas well as the new one,so fascia and grille upgrades will also happen. I've upgraded the wheels to the CXL chrome 17s, but these will go soon for 18s.</>Edited by: SS403
