What Owners are Saying About the 2006 Buick Lucerne
"Great car"
"Great car in almost every respect. Just a bit too big for us, but is very enjoyable to drive and better than expected fuel economy. Every time I drive another car and come back to it, I marvel at how much better the suspension is (on the V8 model) than any other car."
"It’s been a great and reliable car for many years,"
"Car is in good shape al around. No damage ever. White in color. Very low mileage"
"The most satisfying vehicle to drive ever."
"The buick lucerne is a Masterpiece machine. The ride quality is unique and extreme comfortable! compared to any other vehicle in its price range. Put some Goodyear Comfortred tires on it and it feels like a Magic Carpet Ride (what i did). The seats are wide, plush and just downright comfortable! The 3.9 V6 is a very satisfying engine it has gobs of torque at extremely low rpms. This is a very very unique advantage that dual overhead cam engines simply don't have. Because there's so much extra torque, if you're patient and drive it correct I've gotten 36 miles per gallon on the highway going 60. Even going 80 I can still get 30 miles per gallon. The way to get very good gas mileage out of this V6 is by accelerating slow and using all the torque to accelerate up to a cruising speed while staying at low RPMs. Once it's in 2nd gear you can get up to your cruising speed without going over 1,200 RPMs!! It's very satisfying to be accelerating up to cruising speed while the engine is hardly revving more than idle! The transmission is very easy shifting and it's tuned for fuel efficiency, due to all the extra torque, and the 4th gear being spaced so efficiently, it really doesn't need a 5th or 6th Gear. It only revvs at 2,000 RPMs going 80 mph. Steering wheel is easy and comfortable to turn. All the buttons on the steering wheel are intuitive and thoughtfully placed, especially the volume buttons which are so easy to find you can feel for the buttons without even having to look down at the steering wheel. The gauges look very cool and modern at night, not to mention with all this Comfort it's still a modern looking Buick, and its stylish from certain angles, the portholes are my favorite ( makes it look very luxurious and modern) and from the tail lights it looks like a VW Passat. Headlights are very effective and light up the road, so are the fog lights and brights. It's very quiet inside you can't hear the powertrain at all, there's no road noise whatsoever. The wind noise is noticeable however it's very low. Buick did a good job with the Quiet tuning! Overall maintenance is very affordable and it costs as much to maintain as an economy car even though it's a super comfortable luxury vehicle! ( because it uses all older and proven technology that is super reliable) Sound system sounds premium and has good sound. AUX port works good without any static. O and did I mention the extreme reliability of this car? These pushrod v6's can get up to 400,000 miles if maintained correct. Pushrods are extremely simplistic and have 1/4 of the moving parts than an overhead cam engine has. Even if you got a check engine light it's about a thousand times cheaper to fix then a dual overhead cam engine. ( trust me I know I had a 2012 Corolla that was super good maintained and it got a check engine light at 60,000 miles. It needed an extremely expensive new cylinder assembly. Which is just utter nonsense and I sold it. In comparison the Corollas engine had dual overhead cam and direct injection. All those newer Technologies inherently cause more expensive repairs and it fails easier because it's too complex) To be honest this vehicle truly is a masterpiece and does not have any disadvantages except for having a wide turning circle. (You get used to it and it's still better than a truck) If you can find a used Buick Lucerne that has been maintained buy it on the spot! Before they're all sold because they've been discontinued. I just so happened to get very lucky with my Buick Lucerne purchase after searching for a properly maintained Lucerne for over a year. the dude selling it was very desperate for money and TitleMax was nuking him with interest and the Buick was about to get repoed so I stepped in and bought it."
