| | This car is one of GM's best products. Extremely practical in everyday use, large trunk, excellent sound system. Make the supercharged version of the 3800 engine available as an option in the LeSabre. | | posted by I Haprer on Dec 03 2007 | | |
| overall rating | | | value | | | comfort | | | reliability | |
| | This is an amazing car. I like the auto windows on both front doors. Plenty of interior room and trunk space. I like it because I drive a lot at night and it helpful. Its a very comfortable car to drive for 10 hours at a time. | | posted by C Murray on Dec 03 2007 | | |
