This car is good for taking road trips, I like the heated seats,
The rear end air shocks had to be replaced. It was very expensive to replace. The front end had to relined twice had to replace tires twice.

It was the last model year for the Lucerne. It handles well in most traffic situations.
Purchased used with only 9500 miles in 2014. Nice looking and handles well, It is also flex fuel capable although every gas station around here only has a max blend of about 10% with the gasoline.

2011 Buick Lucerne is definitely strong if it can handle my family and I.
This vehicle is super comfortable, it is great looking and an extremely fast and safe vehicle. It has very loud speakers and it is very spacious. I normally do not go for anything but Toyota but this car is great and would definitely recommend to others.

Our Buick Lucerne runs well. It has comfortable seats. It is in good condition. It's almost paid for!! I wish it got better gas mileage

It's fun to drive. Very comfortable on long trips.
My car has really nice leather seats. Its red and that is my favorite color. It drives great and gets good gas mileage. I only bad thing is I cannot drive it more. I luv this car.

My vehicle tells me how many miles I can go before I need gasoline.
I have had no problems with this vehicle. Unfortunately Buick no longer makes a Lucerne but I would assume all Buicks are good cars. My car is very comfortable, has a wonderful heater (necessary in Minnesota) and has a great air conditioner. It has been totally reliable and has many features which make it easy to drive. It has leather heated seats and tells me the air pressure in each tire.

It is very comfortable to drive and ride in!
My 2011 Buick Lucerne is very comfortable to sit in. I love the color which is light tan and I love the interior colors. There is nothing wrong with my car. I love the features my car has which includes heated steering wheel, movable seats, adjustable mirrors, and many more great things!

It is dependable and it has passed without any major problems for 7 years now
No real complaints honestly. A quality everyday car that feels luxurious. Very dependable.

Low value for the most - frequent issues and defects.
Frequent issues with the brakes and cooling system. This car is in the shop every year for quite a bit more money than I want to pay, and I am shopping for a new car. I would not buy a Buick again. The look and feel is luxurious for the cost of the vehicle, but at 130k miles it is already at the end of its rope, and it has been well taken care of.
Carla G

That it comes with a lot of current electrical conveniences.
I like the power windows and seats. I like the temperature and compass reading. I do not like that it only came with one key.

I can adjust the airflow,and temperature,and stop the flow on passenger side.
I like the way my car drives,I like the get up power of the v-8, and it's okay on gas. I think it has to many buttons, I am aware of my surroundings, so I do not need reminding. I like the soft leather seats, but the white shows stains, and I don't care for that. All in all, I like my car.

I own a 2011 Lucerne and I hate the fact that GM stop making them as it is the best car I have ever owned
Jill B

It has side lights when turning. I would buy this vehicle again.
It has a smooth ride, is a quality car, is reliable, is good on gas, and has lots of extras. The stereo is adequate but the is no connection to music on your phone. Also cannot condo to apple products through Bluetooth. I would like more options for the radio.
Paul S

The transmission goes out in a 114,000 miles and will need to be replaced.
I liked the lucerne for the first 5 years. When I got a 114,000 miles on it, the transmission gave out on it which cost $3500. Besides that, it has been an ok vehicle.
Sarah J
on October 13, 2020
Nice reliable car for the price!
I have had my 2011 Buick Lucerne for about 6 months now and love the car. When I bought it, the mileage was only 27,000 and knew that this would be a car that I could have for many years. I have had to replace all of the tires, but they were the original tires when the car was new and I have not had any other problems since. All in all, it is a very dependable car.
Kylee C
on October 4, 2020
Overall I like this car and it is really good on gas.
Very reliable. Sometimes battery dies if not started in around ten or more days, especially in the winter. It happened to me last week. Very comfortable, doesn't have many issues. Oil changes very quickly come up and performance is pretty good. I really like this car. Good on gas too.
Philante S
on October 2, 2020
Great car huge car bad on gas but love it at the same time.
My car is awesome I have leather seats it's a v6 only thing I hate about it is that its burns a lot of gas and that it's a big car overall it's a great car to have and I love it can't wait to add upgrades to it and deck it out how I want to I never thought I would like a Buick.
Be K

Buick Lucerne. Attractive and comfortable, some problems with sunroof.
Skylight or roof leaks, cannot figure out which. Otherwise I love this sedan. Leather interior, comfortable bucket seats. OnStar equipped. Smooth ride with good pick up. Attractive styling. They do not make Lucerne anymore, and I do not like the look of the new Buick sedans.

My vehicle is all around great, and would recommend.
It is a great, reliable car. Very comfortable and drives great. It is a larger vehicle, but with its size offers lots of space and security. The vehicle has had very little problems and has run great in the time I've had it. Also decent on gas. My favorite feature is the side lights that turn on when turning around corners, as well as the heated seats and the heated steering wheel.

An interesting detail is that its tall.
The car is very nice and it performance well, I do think that if people have the chance they should really consider purchasing a Buick. I haven't really had any problems with the car it works well. It has a lot of cool features and I plan in the future to buy another Buick of the year because the one I have is not that brand new but it works perfectly fine.
el K

Buick sedans are the best.
The only thing I do not like is that the sunroof leaks. It is made in the USA, and I would never buy any imported car. Buick is a quality brand, and I have owned 6 of them. It is comfortable, has good power and is a nice looking sedan. I have satellite radio and OnStar and car phone.
Nick B
on August 7, 2020
Buick's are expensive and breakdown easily.
The car is amazing except not a good car at all. It has broken down so many times and it cost a bunch of money to fix and it is now broken down in front of my house. The car is so great that it cost a bunch of money that I do not have and do not use it.
Jessica D

Buick Lucerne is a fabulous family/touring car.
My vehicle has 78,000 actual miles, we have had to replace the fuel pump. Other than that, regular maintenance. The car drives and handles well in rain or light snow. Very roomy in the back and front seats, extra large trunk. Great gas mileage for a v-6. My 4 stars was because the radio has never gotten great reception.
Amber L
on July 14, 2020
It is reliable and mechanically sound.
The road noise is a little too loud for my liking. Otherwise the car runs and drives great. It is very comfortable and reliable. We have not had any problems with the car. It has over 100,000 miles and no mechanical issues whatsoever. I would definitely recommend this car to anyone who is looking to get something reliable and easy to drive with low maintenance costs.
Jean K

Unreliable Auto!!!
Total trans rebuild at 23k miles. Key will not exteact from ign cylinder. These event on a car that is in basically new condition. Most unreliable car I've ever owned since 1952.
Holly G

Lucerne the best car ever.
I have a few problems with the electric board and fuel pump injector. Was quite costly to fix. My car is red with silver trim. It has heated seats and steering wheel. Doesn't take much to fill up but also doesn't take much to run out. The car runs great, the seats are amazing. The air conditioning is godly amazing.
Caitlin H
on March 23, 2020
The vehicle is actually really nice. The interior, exterior, features etc.
I've actually had a lot of problems with my vehicle since I bought it last year. I've had to replace the fuel pump, the battery, the whole air conditioning setup, and multiple switches on my fuse box. Honestly starting to regret buying this vehicle. Never had as many problems with any car as much as I've had with this car.
Linda C

I like the look, the comfort and the ride. I dislike that there is no place to put my purse while driving with another in the front seat.

Fantastic car! I love the Buick line of cars.
I haven't had any problems with this vehicle. It is very comfortable, easy to drive and gets fantastic gas mileage. It currently has 120,000 miles on it and I just had front brakes replaced for the first time. The mechanic even wanted to know if he could buy my car from me. I do not plan on getting rid of this car ever.
Virginia C

2011 buick lucerne. Dependable, sleek, great handling.
Very reliable. Rides good. Very comfortable, handling is good for a car if that size. Like the sleekness & room it has. No major problems with it. Sad they no longer make it because I would probably by another. Has awesome lines, trunk is very large. Love that the battery stays clean under the back seat so it's lasted the whole time we've had the car.

My Buick Lucerne is very nice and dependable.
The Buick Lucerne is a very dependable car. I do not think that Buick makes them anymore, but I do not believe it is because of the car itself. Car companies tend to stop making certain cars, due to the fact the they like to make other Buick vehicles. The Buick Lucerne is a very nice car. It gets good gas mileage, it rides smoothly, it has plenty of legroom and trunk space. It is easy to maintain, and the one I have has 4 doors, so the pets (I let the pets ride all of the time), have plenty of room to stretch out and enjoy the ride. The Buick Lucerne is a very nice, dependable car.

Good performance great speed and quiet.
Didn't have any problem with my car the time I had it but as long as you take good care of it anything will last. It drives smooth its very comfortable and spacious. Don't hear noise when shift its change and don't even feel the bump in the roads. Very reliable car.

My car is extremely easy to drive and even though it is a "old people car" it actually has a little power.
I like that there is plenty of room in the backseat for my dog. I like the heated seats and steering wheel and general ease of driving the car. I don't like that the seats are not that comfortable.

Harsh ride on uneven pavement. Seats very difficult to find comfortable position. Have no idea where front of the car is; extremely low hood/fender configuration. First American car I've owned since 1956...not impressed.

Buick Lucerne luxury cars.
I like my car just not the leather seats, as for getting small things fixed.. It is expensive. Instead of an easy headlight change you have to take the whole front end apart just to change the bulb which cost me an arm and a leg at a garage. It is comfortable and has seat warmers, steering wheel warmers and heats up pretty quick with key starter for cold winter mornings before work. Overall it is a nice vehicle other than how much it costs for simple things!
Carolyn S
on May 22, 2019
The most important thing about my car is that it has a lot of useful features that make it easy to get in and out of the car and sit comfortably while driving.
Me and my husband bought this car and have been very impressed with it. One of my favorite features is the ability to move the seat back and forward automatically with a button when leaving and getting into the car because it makes it easier with our bad knees to have more room to get in the car. My only dislike is that it is larger than my last car and it takes a while to get used to parking with a larger vehicle.
Michael P
on May 9, 2019
Smooth riding and very comfortable.
Drives very smooth. Good on gas. Very comfortable on long rides. No real problems. When cold heats up quickly. Computer system a little touchy. Stable on road. Great pick up. Handles very well in bad weather. Live the color deep purple. Computers relates when service is needed.

Reliable, dependable, and sturdy.
I love my car so much. Its reliable, dependable, and an all around good car. I've had it for 6 years and have had no problems at all. My nieces and nephews have spilled I don't know how much water back there and it's still so in tip top shape and the car is so easy to clean. I recommend this car to anybody that's looking for a luxury vehicle that's dependable and sturdy.

Buick car review from South Dakota.
I absolutely love my vehicle. I travel long distances daily in it and have not had a problem yet. I take great care of my car and keep it well maintained but my car handles winter in South Dakota well. The only thing I dislike is the cup holder is not big enough for my yeti coffee cup.
Erin H
on March 19, 2019
Perfect winter vehicle for anyone.
My vehicle seems very reliable, I get it worked on regularly oil changes every 3,000 Miles. Keeping it maintained is what helps the performance of a traditional sedan run well. It is a relaxed, comfortable, quiet vehicle. Minimal rust. It has seat warmers, steering wheel warmers, and mirror heaters. The remote start is extremely nice during the winters.
Bobby J

We use the vehicle for our family car. It is a great family car.
No problems at all with my car. The car runs great and is very maintainable! It is stylist too, and has 4 doors. Easy for carrying children around. It is a great errand car and a great work car. I like the color and maintenance is easy. A lot of color options. This is the car you want.

The car is great, please buy if you are considering!
It is very comfortable and reliable. Gas lasts a long time as well and the car looks amazing. I really enjoy the car, it is fast and can drive immensely far. I have had it since 2011 and I haven't been happier with this car! You should definitely buy the car if you are considering it.

It is a classic but a very modern take on Buick .
It is a smooth and reliable ride. It is low Maintenance with a classy interior / exterior. I bought it used and have not have had any major mechanical issues with it . Unfortunately, the rear wheel drive is not good in the snow. I also wish the acceleration was more powerful .
Dawna S

I highly recommend this car.
My Buick has been a excellent car. Even though I bought it used it has not given me and trouble at all. I highly recommend this vehicle to anyone looking to buy a family car. It could be a little better on gas. I have taken it on a few trips and never worried about it is dependability. I do not like the blind spots. It is hard to see clearly when backing out.
Kim B

Love the remote start-up feature!
I like the Bluetooth even though it is 2011. I never had Bluetooth. I love the remote start-up as I didn't know that existed and will get it from now on. The ride is comfortable and 15' tires helps. I wish the radio display would show the complete title of a song/artist (especially on Sirius XM), as it truncates and I have to guess what the title/author is... I got the car in 2016 with 30k miles on it and now have just rolled 40k so it is been a good buy at 16k.

Buick is the # 1 car for value, performance, and looks.
This is our second Buick, the first had 400,000 miles when we traded, 16 years old and was still going. We wanted another Buick due to it is great reputation. We have not been disappointed. It runs quietly, is very comfortable to ride or drive. It handles beautifully, and gets very good gas mileage. We've had people stop and remark on. What a beautiful car it is. The seats have memory,that really helps when you have the short wife, tall husband syndrome! It has excellent pick up when you need it lots of trunk space and ample room for passengers.We are planning on keeping this Buick for a long time and when necessary will replace it with another Buick. We are happy to be repeat customers.

A grey 2011 Buick Lucerne. Great condition internally and externally. Peanut butter leather seats. Features a sunroof, dual AC/heat, electric mirrors. Plenty of trunk space. New tires. Recently maintenanced. 78,000 miles. Price: $4800. Rides like a space shuttle.

The luxury of the Buick Lucerne.
It is a slightly older car but it is still a fantastic one, it is reliable and it really glides over the road when you ride it. I have always liked Buicks and the Buick Lucerne is only just a step above the rest in terms of quality. My next car will most definitely be another Buick.
Sal S

Nice, reliable slick looking car.
This car is very reliable and dependable. The performance in just fine, get me from point A to point B. Great value and super comfortable on the inside. It is not very roomy but Definitely gets the job done for me as I generally drive alone or with my roommate. A low maintenance car with cheap upkeep. The gas mileage is mediocre so if you are going for great gas mileage I wouldn't recommend it but nonetheless it is still a great car for your money.
Tiffany T
on November 26, 2018
Lots of comfort extras. Quiet and comfortable ride. Lots of trunk space.
What I like most about the vehicle is the comfort options ie heated seats, steering wheel, auto start. The car rides very smooth and quiet. . The only issue I have had that I do not consider routine maintenance is there is apparently a transmission issue with this make and model. When you accelerate from a complete stop it sometimes hesitates before it takes off. I have had it looked at and was told it was a flaw in this particular transmission. I have just adapted and learned not to try and punch the gas when accelerating from a stop.
Janet J

Buick Lucerne, 2011. Dependable.
The car drives nice and smooth. Good gas mileage and plenty of legroom. It took a while to get used to the headrest. But when I did, I found the seats to be comfortable. Front wheel drive is good in the snow, seatbelts are not in the way when buckled. Engine runs quiet and smooth. We have not had any problems.
