2004 BUICK LESABRE NEW CAR BUYER'S GUIDE

What's New for the 2004 Buick LeSabre?
For 2004, four new exterior and two new interior colors debut on the Buick LeSabre. Sound-deadening materials have also been added to keep the interior quieter. Also of note, the optional five-passenger seating configuration is gone for 2004, making all Buick LeSabres capable of carrying six.

Advantages of the 2004 Buick LeSabre:

• Big interior
• Strong reliability record
• Great bargains to be had as GM holds a fire sale on everything it makes

Objections to the 2004 Buick LeSabre:

• Saddled with fuddy-duddy image
• Dynamically a snooze
• Steep depreciation in value

Editor's Advice:
Want a solid, no-nonsense sedan with a dash of luxury ladled on? The 2004 Buick LeSabre could be just what you want. By our standards, it's a fine competitor to the Mercury Grand Marquis, but comes up a bit short against the Chrysler Concorde and Toyota Avalon.
