Man, my first car was a Buick Lesabre, I loved that car.

It was way faster than anyone expected, beat many people in highschool, and had all the bells and whistles but of a 10+ year-old car. Also, it had bench seating in the front, and the whole car had so much space.

My only gripe was all the girls thought of it as a grandpa car, although I did get it after my great great uncle (? not sure of the correct title) died unfortunately.

Absolutely. Reliable v6 engine, comfy ride, cheap parts. I’m a dad who got this for my son as a first car!

I was not sure at first but I wasn't going to be picky about my first car, but damn, it was way better than all my friends' cars, except that one who got a brand new bmw.

That V6 engine was great, that thing had power, and yeah it was super comfy, and the speakers weren't half bad. Safe as well and didn't need any work besides normal the whole time I had it.

I hope your son liked it as much as I did!

Reliableish the 3.8l in those years had shit intakes. But it’s not a super difficult fix and the parts are plentiful.

My dad had a taxi fleet and some of them were Lesabres and Centuries. Basically one became my first car too.

My first car at sixteen was a 1949 Buick Roadmaster. Rode as good as any car built today. I felt like Persian king driving that old Buick. Had it for two years and the timing chain went. :(

I was going to say, that made up a lot for the "grandpa" type thinking. Maybe our grandpas had the right idea haha.

They could drive right off and barely feel a bump.

That's probably why she didn't accidentally go over the edge. I've never seen a Buick going faster than 5 mph.
