I test drove a Buick Lucerne CXS today. I was duly surprised by the design and build quality. I was set to buy a Toyota Avalon, but now I am at a cross-roads. I actually liked the Buick better and I didn't expect for that to happen! I'm not sure that I can trust GMC quality, however?

Replying to: mhclawyer (Apr 22, 2006 9:39 am) Can't you say the same of the "new" Avalon. Have you been reading their discussions? And reading the hesitation discussions? http://townhall-talk.edmunds.com/WebX/.ef2150b/10919 http://townhall-talk.edmunds.com/WebX/.ef0c570/0 Search for avalon in the "search forums" box on the left side of this page. |

Replying to: sls002 (Apr 22, 2006 11:17 am) So I take it the LeSabre and Century are the two on the list, I could not find on that page. Should be good used car buys then, and very inexpensive. LaCrosse or Lucerne vs. Camry V6 models is another thing all together. I take it you would pick both over the Camry. May be more fair to wait a year and look at a Lucerne V8 or a top line LaCrosse used, then compare it to Toyota Camry or Avalon ( which currently is too close to Camry to be a good buy between those two ). I would wait one or two years to see more results from surveys of owners of both Toyota and Buick new cars to see how they compare. That said, both Buick and Toyota are going to be nearer the tops in reliability. Would not be overly concerned. Resale value is another issue. If resale is not high on the list, I would pick a Sonata V6, or buy the Lucerne a year later and save $7K to $10K off the list. As for Lexus, they seem overpriced to me. It may also be interesting to see what Consumer Reports magazine data shows, and MSN Autos on the Net shows for reliability. Edmund's site has the historical data from JD Powers, which is also good to note. Sometimes all three render a different view of a particular car. I do like the MSN Auto showing the major items needing repairs and the cost involved. Sometimes the problems are minor in cost or time to repair. This is true for Buick or Toyota. -Loren
