2000 Buick LeSabre Review (continued)
Add your own review or comments

Summary

If you need to carry six people in a vehicle, you're pretty much stuck with a minivan or a large SUV. But if you want the comfort of a sedan, your choices are limited because few cars nowadays offer a front bench seat. Buick prides itself as the maker of premium American cars and it has upheld that tradition with the 2000 LeSabre.

For not much more than the price of a compact car, the LeSabre delivers a six-passenger sedan with lots of features standard. In its newest form, the LeSabre offers a comfortable ride quality and you may be pleasantly surprised at how nicely it performs.
