Replying to: cmyers300m (Jun 01, 2006 7:04 pm) I think the Buick is the way to go. It has the added quiet tuning that really makes a difference. The leather on the Buick is also an upgrade. Buick's reputation among GM has always been on the top for quality and service. You get a lot in the Buick that you would pay extra with the others. Also the Buick had an upgrade rear suspension compared to the other GM models. The features we really like is the auto load levelers, the built in air compressor (works great..used it before our trip to get all the tire pressures right), Ultrasonic rear Parking assist. The ride is very very smooth and quiet. It was great as the kids watched the DVD and we could hear them giggle in the back.   I would have gone for the 3.9 ltr if it was available in 2005. Looks like in 2007 the 3.9 ltr may be standard. Replies to this message: cmyers300m (Jun 02, 2006 2:06 am) morewasabi (Jun 02, 2006 8:36 am)

Replying to: morewasabi (Jun 01, 2006 10:38 pm) My WB edition has the load level suspension(which is awesome to have when your moving heavy objects), parking assist(which is great since my wife will hit anything), and air compressor too(which I've never used...wierd huh). I think the Buick's independent rear susp. would be nice, not to mention sound proofing. I also like all the wood accents as well in the Buick. My 300M has it and I really like the looks.   How have your power doors been? That's the only thing I ever had problems with. Now they're fine, but I've heard of recent GM vans that have the doors opening on their own while the vehicles moving!!! My doors have never malfunctioned like that, thank goodness.   I heard the 3.9L will probably be standard too. However, I also heard that they may do away with the better suspension and sound deadening material as a cost cutting measure. Just when auto makers get things right, they always change it or get rid of it. Regardless, you're starting to sell me on this Terazza van:)------thanks for the input!

Replying to: cmyers300m (Jun 02, 2006 2:06 am) No issues with the doors. One note if you have power doors and you accelerate forward before they close all the way they will open. I think that’s true with any van doors. The van works well, its solid and quiet. I can’t see how Buick can move away from quiet tuning as that is part of the new Buick marketing differentiation. I also heard about the suspension being changed to match the other models.   We get lots of compliments on the Van. Lots of people ask what make is this? And when they ride in it, they really like it.

HI All   We are pleased with our Terraza.We would like a softer ride,on the rear end. I quiried Buick about a retro-fit for the shocks on the load levelling system. There is no package made for a Terraza,yet.We will keep looking and hoping to get a better ride.   We really love the 3.9 liter engine and are looking to buy an Enclave,when they smarten up and put in a good engine.   Any information about decent shocks can be emailed to me at julius13telus.net as I do not come to this site very often.   wesleyc
