Although some people may associate Buick with the older crowd, I am only 36 and I LOVE my Allure. In my business, there is a lot of driving involved, and the 3.8L engine is super reliable, and has lots of pep, especially lots of passing power. I actually really like the styling- mine is black, with the chrome package, and when it's all cleaned up, it looks very classy. Understated class, without being too ostentatious. Would certainly buy one again. Mine has rolled over 200,000kms recently. Only thing I've had to do is water pump, tires, brakes, and one wheel hub. Very, very reliable; maintenance prices are reasonable too, parts seem readily available. I will definitely buy a Buick for my next new vehicle-- probably a Regal Turbo.
