A Look at the Most Reliable Buick Models
RepairPal evaluated the best of the best Buick’s based on reliability. In comparison, Buick ranked 31st out of 345 other automakers. The American automaker’s vehicles total an annual average repair and maintenance expense of $608, which costs less than the average car brand by $44. Every penny counts, and here are six Buick models that look to stretch the cent as far as a Philadelphia Eagle.
Let’s start from least to greatest dependability for the Buick lineup. The Enclave comes in sixth place, with an above-average reliability rating. However, the midsize SUV ranked 24th of the 26th for its reliability.
Coming in fifth place is the discontinued Buick Lucerne which ranked eighth out of twelve in the midsize sedan segment. The Lucerne costs $585 annually for maintenance and repairs compared to other sedans’ average of $590.
Coming in fourth is the Buick LaCrosse, which is another discontinued midsize sedan, coming in 15th place. However, the cost of the LaCrosse parallels the repair frequency of a traditional midsize sedan.
In third is the Buick Regal, the sedan ranked 13th amongst 24 others in the segment to reveal above-average dependability. The mid-sized Regal’s annual maintenance and repair costs are estimated to be $563. Moreover, the discontinued midsize sedan doesn’t need as many repairs, but the severities are minimal when it does.
The Buick Verano comes in second, ranking 15th out of 36th for compact cars. The Verano holds average annual costs of $478 in maintenance and repairs. However, the compact Buick totals less than $526 compared to its contenders, revealing a lower-than-average ownership expense. Additionally, the Verano’s repairs occur twice every ten years compared to the three repairs essential to the average competitor.
The ultimate Buick that enthusiasts can rely on is the Encore. The subcompact SUV ranked fifth out of seven vehicles, with an average annual repair and maintenance cost of $466. The Encore is the least expensive vehicle to maintain in its contending segment, as other subcompacts require two repairs every ten years; the Encore only needs one.
