We found the LeSabre's independent front and rear suspension system, supplemented by automatic level control and optional variable-effort power steering, provided sure control and a stable ride in various driving situations. Our LeSabre carried us over an unpaved road, quietly leveling out the bumps. In city traffic, it maneuvered smartly with the firmness of a sportier car. At highway speeds, we cruised smoothly, very much in control, appreciating the quietness of the ride even when encountering potholes in a construction area. The low center of gravity and automatic level control, part of the Gran Touring suspension package, resulted in stable cornering and sure handling with no noticeable roll.The 3.8-liter V6 engine produced adequate power with excellent acceleration, both from a standing start and when passing. Gear transition was very quiet, very smooth. The anti-lock brake system was sure and earned our confidence after repeated testing at both low and high speeds.
