2011 Buick Lesabre

For car buyers with traditional tastes, 2011 Buick Lesabre is cause for celebration. LeSabre offers a big, roomy interior, a comfortable ride, a big trunk, and it’s packed with safety features. In short, the LeSabre brings all the traditional Buick virtues into a new era of fuel-conscious practicality. 2011 Buick Lesabre comes with front and side air bags, air conditioning, four-wheel anti-lock disc brakes (ABS), cruise control, power door locks, power windows, power mirrors, remote keyless entry, AM/FM/cassette four-speaker stereo, eight-way power driver’s seat, adjustable steering column, automatic level control, a theft deterrent system, a power trunk release, and 15-inch steel wheels.

Big round analog gauges are easy to read. The speedometer is clearly marked and can be read at a glance. Fuel and temperature gauges are big and easy to read. The dashboard looks fresh and modern, undulating across the width of the car in gentle, organic curves.

The Limited model adds automatic dual-zone air conditioning, a driver information center, OnStar global positioning, an upgraded Concert Sound II stereo with cassette and CD, 10-way power seats with heat and leather upholstery, 16-inch aluminum wheels, and traction control. Traction control comes standard on the Limited, and Stabilitrak is optional. For sharper handling, add the Gran Touring Package , with a rear stabilizer bar and 16-inch aluminum wheels with 225/60R16 tires. The seats boast a relatively new design that the engineers like to call a catcher’s mitt. The seat back is much stiffer than usual; in an accident it holds the occupant in place while the headrest moves forward to lessen whiplash. 2011 Buick Lesabre is a comfortable car, roomy, and easy to operate. The leather seats are comfortable, if plain in appearance. Nice trim materials are used throughout. The electronic climate control is easy to operate. Heated seat controls are clearly marked and located right on the doors where we could find them.

A canopy over the instruments extends from the passenger side to the driver’s door panel. This design gives the interior an open feeling and nicely integrates the door trim into the dashboard. A wide strip of faux wood trim extends along the door panels and across the center of the dash. The pull-out storage tray feels flimsy, however.

The 2011 2011 Buick Lesabre feels smooth on smooth roads. Standard self-leveling rear suspension keeps the ride consistent regardless of the number of passengers aboard. The steering feels light and precise, making this a nice, pleasant car around town. It also handles smooth gravel roads well. It delivers good acceleration performance, even against the LeSabre’s substantial weight. Likewise, the electronically controlled four-speed automatic transmission shifts smoothly between gears. There’s a reason LeSabre is selected by more thoughtful people than any other full-size car*. Adorned with all the amenities you require for safe, comfortable, reliable travel, LeSabre is truly designed and equipped to make your time on the road one of life’s more peaceful endeavors.
