2018 Buick Cascada vs. Its Competition

2018 Buick Cascada
Andrew Ganz Andrew Ganz Senior Editor

With its relaxed attitude, the Buick Cascada sort of operates in a class of its own these days.

It’s less frenetic than a 4-cylinder Ford Mustang or Chevrolet Camaro, although those two are far more polished to drive and aren’t as behind the times when it comes to tech as their retro nameplates might suggest.

The Audi A3 is smaller than the Cascada and pricier, but it feels more distinctly German if not that much more luxurious.

Throw in the evergreen Mazda MX-5 Miata if driving’s your thing and a back seat isn’t important, or take a look at the almost identical Fiat 124 Spider for its turbo-4 engine.
