2000 Buick LeSabre

By Bob Storck

Despite all the competition from larger companies, Buick claims that their LeSabre has been the best-selling full-size sedan in the United States for most of the decade.

The new model is stronger, quieter and more convenient and secure. It has a long list of improvements, side air bags, better ride and handling and now an optional stability control system.

From an engineering standpoint, LeSabre's major news is its more substantial body structure. LeSabre's safety-cage construction combined with four air bags, balanced chassis design, energy absorbing surfaces and new anti-lock four-wheel disc brakes, with extra capacity for sure stopping, emphasize LeSabre's attention to safety -- a key attribute for LeSabre buyers.

Among other new safety features on LeSabres are high-retention front seats with self-aligning head restraints and front safety belts attached directly to the seat structure. Front occupants will appreciate the whiplash diminishing seat structure that was pioneered by the Swedes. Shoulder and lap safety belts are now provided for all rear passengers.
