Buick Allure 2005Change

This is a solid car with surprisingly great gas mileage on the highway. It has great handling and easily sits 5 people.

If you are looking for a second car for the family or a reliable car for the winter...this is the car for you!

With 4 winter tires, this car is unstoppable. The Allure's reliability rating is also excellent.

You will not be disappointed!

bought with 80,000km now has 150,000km. Car is mostly highway driven (100 km highway commute to work ) replace front brakes and rear sway bar links almost yearly, trans slips regularly , engine loses oil between 5,000km oil changes, remote works intermittently, headlights have went out briefly and came back on several times, on star attenna leaked into dome light. I have done all scheduled maintenance and rust proofed. Only minor rust on underbody but rust is starting around all door handles.( fellow employees report valve seals replaced, electrical problems, radio blacked out and one ECM on 06-09 models)

In 8 years - with just routine maintenance - have only had one repair! Just the heater fan. Can't go wrong with this one.

This car is built very well, it needs only general maintenance to keep in good working order, no major parts have needed replacement. Smooth ride with a powerful 3.8L engine gives this heavy car lots of pickup. Good legroom for a tall guy, decent storage space. The car is a little heavy on gas and the stock console has a clumsy layout, but it's totally worth it for the safety and reliability this car provides.

i have owned my 2005 buick allure for four years and am very pleased with it to this point. i have just over 100,000 km's and have only had to do oil changes and a heater core flush as far as maintainance goes. i like the inside styling and the imitation wood paneling as well as the hard plastic dash. i have never plugged this car in and that speaks to it's reliability considering i live in edmonton and our winters can be severe. my only real complaint about the car is the gas mileage. in the city i am lucky to get 18 miles to the gallon whcic is a bit disappointing considering it is only a six cylindar. i don't be on the hiway very often so i can't speak to how the mileage there would be. over all i am very happy with my buick allure and would recommend it to anyone looking for a dependable north american car.

Absolutely the best car I have ever owned. The CXS platinum package provides the Allure with an incredible drive train and suspension combination. The power, performance and handling capabilities of this car that rivals the BMW 5 and 7 Series and yet superbly economical.

This is one of the most comfortable cars I have ever driven. The precision handling of this car definitely rivals BMW's 5 series. The Allure CSX model uses the same drive-train as Cadillac which is incredibly reliable; great on gas but with this cars optional platinum package it gives you all the horse-power and performance you could ever ask for. The interior is plush leather with wood accent trim. The seats are incredibly comfortable with loads of head room and rear seat leg room. This car has a very large truck to handle those crazy shoppers. Excellent car at an excellent value.

We bought this car used last year from a dealer with very low mileage and it is a CXL version. We wouldn't change a thing about it. I especially love the comfort and the way it handles. Lots of room for passengers and trunk storage.

This car looks so sleek with the tinted windows and silver trim. From first sight I fell in love.

Once I began to drive the car and learn the features, I knew Buick was a car that I would always love.

This car has a delayed locking system. As a single parent, this feature makes it more convenient to get a child out of the car without having to worry about fumbling with the keys to lock the car. With a simple press of the lock button while exiting, a timer would allow me enough time to retrieve my child from the back seat and walk away while the car locks itself.

Not to mention the remote starter for those cold winter days.

I love this car.

Absolutely the best car I have ever owned! The outstanding performance and terrific comfort of this car is far better then other cars I have owned such as Cadillac's and Lincoln's. This particular CXS has the Platinum package which provide this with the best drive train in GM's stable of cars. It is the same engine transmission package that GM uses in the 2005 Cadillac CTS.
Since I have owned this car I have never had any problems of any kind with this vehicle and would very highly recommend Buick's products to anyone.

Owned the car since brand new. I have 220,000 km on it at this point and its still running strong, little major problems with it.

Engine and drive train are perfect. However I had to replace the water pump twice and the power steering pump once. It overheated twice as a result of the water pump failing. I have replaced both front wheel bearing hubs at least 3 times and CV shaft and control arm assemblies at least once.

The interior is in great shape considering the age, the leather has stood the test of time, no cracks or tears. All of the electronics are working but the finish on some of the buttons is smearing off and some of button-lights are also burnt out. The biggest issue is that the car wont start after fueling unless you stand on the gas, which could be a faulty EVAP sensor.

The car is extremely comfortable, has plenty of power and looks great. It has been extremely reliable when in good repair, but has cost quite a bit in repairs over the years.

It has been a real pleasure to drive this car for many years. It was (and stil is) really smooth and confortable for long distance driving. It also had a lot of space to carry luggages and sport equipments. So far, it is an excellent car, specially during winter time because of it's road holding.
