How it scores for you10 scores
Perfect five-star ratings and a serene, roomy cabin deliver flagship comfort cheaply, undercut by transmission-shudder complaints and steep depreciation.
Recalled somewhat less often than cars of the same model years; 2 of its 5 recalls were serious. None of its 52 owner complaints describe a crash, fire or injury. Based on recalls and serious defect reports — it doesn't capture everyday repairs or problems fixed by warranty extensions. Adjusted -4 points for its wider reputation.
5-star overall NHTSA crash rating (frontal 5, side 5, rollover 5).
About $2,250 a year in fuel (EPA estimate) — cheaper to run than about 65% of cars we track.
15 cu ft of cargo space — more than about 35% of other sedans we track.
Long 2,910-mm wheelbase yields a limo-like rear seat for the money.
310-hp V6 moves it well and the lighter platform helped agility, but tuning stays firmly comfort-first.
Standard 8-inch touchscreen with CarPlay/Android Auto; competitive infotainment for its years.
Serene, well-isolated cabin and supple ride; among the most comfortable non-German large sedans of its era.
Luxury brands like Buick tend to lose value faster than average.
No published tow rating; all- or four-wheel drive available.
