BUICK LESABRE
The LeSabre has been America’s bestselling full-size car for the last 10 years, and Buick commemorates this achievement for 2003 with a Celebration edition. Distinguishing elements include three new colors, body-color fascias and rocker moldings, chromed aluminum alloy wheels, two-tone leather interior, a head-up display, StabiliTrak, and OnStar. Buick also adds the option of XM radio to the top two LeSabre models (Celebration and Limited), plus a new aluminum alloy wheel for models equipped with the firmer Gran Touring suspension, which we recommend. The LeSabre continues to offer a front bench seat, and it continues to be towed by GM’s evergreen 3.8-liter pushrod V-6 mated to a four-speed automatic. Though it’s no thrill ride, this roomy front-drive sedan delivers quiet, comfortable transportation and lots of features at an attractive price.
