This car was purchased about six months ago. In that time I have gotten to know the Lucerne very well. This is the most advanced car that I have owned - but I jumped to a '06 from a '99. The technology definitely came a long way in that amount of time. The ride of this car is incredibly smooth and just a pleasure to take out on the road. It handles incredibly well and you barely feel the bumps of the Michigan roads.

My Buick Lucerne is built for comfort. With heated leather seats, a heated steering wheel and dual climate control, it is a great car to take on vacation. There is plenty of space in the trunk, and there is access to the trunk from the back seat, which can come in handy on a long trip. The car has a smooth ride, and the cruise control makes driving a pleasure. The trade off between comfort and convenience comes when trying to park. The wide seats and ample trunk make for a large car that is not always easy to fit into a parking spot. It also has large blind spots that can be dangerous if you are not paying attention. It is a rear-wheel drive car, and that can be tricky on snow or other slippery conditions. I find the OnStar to be creepy. I don't like the "listening in" feeling that it gives to me, even though I know that my conversations are far too dull for anyone to be listening. It is the principle. I love the storage in the front seat armrest. It is so handy and it is double stacked so that I have twice the storage. The cup holders are too small and too close together. Overall, I really like my car. It makes long trips easily and hauls grandchildren like a champ.

It is a good, reliable car, other than some electrical issues. It gets great gas mileage, has climate control, and automatic wipers and lights. It can also fit other people in the car. It's roomy.
