2006 Buick Lucerne CXS Review
The good: The 2006 Buick Lucerne CXS has respectable tech offerings, including a stereo with auxiliary input, MP3 CD compatibility, and XM Satellite Radio, as well as optional touch-screen navigation. The meaty Northstar V-8 delivers plenty of top-end power to enjoy from the leather-trimmed interior.
The bad: The 2006 Buick Lucerne CXS's four-speed gearbox is sluggish around town and delivers underwhelming gas mileage. Mediocre fixtures, basic instrumentation, and a price tag of nearly 40 grand mean you don't get a whole lot of bang for your Buick buck.
The bottom line: With plenty of standard onboard tech, a comfortable interior, and a premium V-8 under the hood, the 2006 Buick Lucerne CXS lives at the top end of the midrange sedan market. Unfortunately, its price tag suggests something more impressive.
