Avenue, and hope to see the same changes in the next LeSabre redesign.
The cabin design imparts a feel of comfort and reassurance. Many armchairs
are not as plush and comfortable as the front seats of the LeSabre. Fold
up the center armrest and three adults can be fairly comfortable in either
the front or the back; the car really does hold six, as promised. Rear
seat space is simply vast.
Considering its price, the basic LeSabre's standard equipment list is
average, with air conditioning, power windows and locks, tilt wheel and
power driver's side outside mirror.
The LeSabre Limited includes many other comfort and convenience features,
such as separate automatic climate controls for the driver and front-seat
passenger, dual power mirrors and keyless remote entry.
Almost every conceivable luxury feature is available, including 6-way
power seats, radio controls on the steering wheel and a head-up display
that projects vehicle speed and other information on the lower part of
the windshield so you don't have to look down. The luxury car touches extend
to the interior with a strip of woodgrain running all along the doors and
dash.
Safety features are up to date as well with dual airbags, standard antilock
brakes and daytime running lights. A low-speed traction control system,
a $175 option, can keep you going without sliding around on rain or snow-slick
roads.
A few details feel like minor lapses in thought and taste. Some small
sliding switches on the instrument panel for things like dimming the lights
feel less than solid. The mylar chrome switches for the windows and power
mirrors on the door blend less than ideally with the otherwise subdued
interior.
But in general the LeSabre's fabrics and components impart a very solid,
well-appointed character. Next Page
