Where many of its import-brand competitors charge for extras such as remote keyless entry, cruise control and power mirrors, those items come standard on the base Custom model. ON THE ROAD - LeSabre uses GM's corporate workhorse in the powertrain. It's a 3.8 liter V6 that produces 205 horsepower and 230 lb-ft of torque. This iron engine has been in production since 1991, and it forgoes fancy overhead cams and multiple valves for old-fashioned pushrods and two valves per cylinder. Powering everything from GM minivans to sedans under various brands, this veteran design has been thoroughly modernized with sequential port fuel injection, a stiffer motor mount and improved crankshaft dampers to reduce vibrations plus a quieter exhaust system.
Traction control is optional.
