Buick

Buick is for drivers who want an American car name with a calmer, older-school feel than the flashier badges around it. By our assessment, its main strength has long been a comfortable ride, roomy cabins, and a position that sits between mainstream and luxury without chasing the last word in sportiness. The trade-off is that this middle ground can make it seem less distinctive than sharper rivals, especially if the buyer wants a bold performance story. In practice, Buick is about quiet use, soft edges, and a design language that tends to avoid fuss. It is an American company, and it sits in the market as a genteel in-between choice rather than a headline-grabbing one.
