Recalls and complaints
Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. NHTSA has 330 owner complaints on file, mostly about electrical system, structure and steering. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package.
What the figures tell you
Its 3.8L 6-cylinder drives through a 4-speed automatic. It runs on regular gas. Front-wheel drive is the usual layout for cars this size, predictable in the rain and the snow.
The combined figure, 11.8 L/100 km, means roughly 35 litres for 300 km. The fuel for 100 km comes to about $18.29 at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$3,350 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Good uses for the Lucerne
It suits commuters, couples and business trips. It suits people curious about the model who want to drive it before they buy.
Size and space
It is a straightforward car to drive, park and live with. Its 481 litres of luggage space fit a family's bags for a long weekend.
A longer test drive
Nothing is charged until we confirm the rental and you approve the offer. If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class. Try the Lucerne on your commute, then decide.
Which one to look for
Within the 2006 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which. If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person.
The cost of driving it
At our price setting, 100 km costs about $18.29 in fuel. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $182.90 at our price setting. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary.
