2006 Buick LaCrosse CXL 4dr Sedan (3.8L 6cyl 4A)

Review

Buick surprised me, I have owned Pontaics, Honda Accord EX-V6,My wife has a Camry. This car blows the imports out of the water, and at a great price. Makes the Honda EX V-6 ride/ perform like a Model T. Highly recommend this car to anyone wanting a great ride, comfort for a price way below imports. Buick finally found the younger market.

Favorite Features

Acceleration, comfort, smoothness of ride, styling, low road noise

Suggested Improvements

A little more room between power seat adjustments and leather bucket seat (room for your hand)

Almost Perfect Auto

Vehicle

2006 Buick LaCrosse CXS 4dr Sedan (3.6L 6cyl 4A)

Review

Have driven this car for over 6000 miles and it has been a most rewarding driving experience. Strong points are solid construction, quiet ride, strong engine and generous trunk. Only weak point is the fuel mileage, about 24 to 25 mpg on the highway.

Favorite Features

Steering wheel-mounted controls lumbar support in driver's seat dashboard layout and thoughtful features

Suggested Improvements

Improve gas mileage, and position mufflers and exhaust pipes better to give the car a cleaner look

Review

Very happy with the car. Drives really smooth, very quiet, and comfortable. Steering is firm and precise. Some body roll exists, but the car handles well (for it's size). Good throttle response. Controls are intuitive and simple, nicely laid out. Interior layout overall is great. I'm up in Toronto, and had it out on a couple of cold days. Warms up real quick, and defogging works real quick too. Visibility isn't great though. There is a pretty big blind spot to the front left (due to the roof pillar/left mirror). It's actually quite annoying for making left turns, or on windy roads. The car is wonderful otherwise. Don't know fuel economy yet, only had it for a week.

Favorite Features

Quiet, smooth drive. Interior layout and quality. Very comfortable (even for tall people).

Suggested Improvements

Better visibility! The new OnStar rear view mirror is too big, not allowing me to attach my nice wide angle mirror. Bigger glovebox would be nice. Ability to turn off certain features would be good too (OnStar, ABS -> stopping dist is worse in deep snow/gravel w/ABS)

Review

I got a Lacrosse in December. And I love it. This is my first Buick but, will not be my last. All of the rest my family drives Buicks. I love the design of the LaCrosse. It looks like a classic sports car. If it is a good as the Buicks my Father has owned it will be and outstanding car.

Favorite Features

XM Radio

Suggested Improvements

None at this time.

Review

Great ride and quiet. Great car for the price range. A little concerned with the mileage. 1000 miles and when setting cruise at 78 only getting 24 mph. Trying to this week at 72mph to see the improvement. It handles in line for a sedan in my opinion and think the edmunds guys should compare apples to apples and not this reasonably priced car againt 30,000+ imports. Great looking and performing car in my opinion

Favorite Features

Ride is excellent and styling is very elegant.

Suggested Improvements

Wanders some on the highway.

Review

This car was a total surprise to me. I went in search of a new car during employee pricing. I went to every manufacturer and wound up at a Buick dealer last. The LaCrosse struck my eye. I test drove it and bought it. My first American made car ever, and now I can't see any reason not to buy American again.

Favorite Features

Center shift, remote start, quiet and the many comments of how good it looks.

Review

We love this car! It is fun to drive and great to get into after it was started from inside the warm house. We feel very safe in it. The body style is very modern, the seats comfortable and warm in the Minnesota winters.

Favorite Features

Love the remote starter! Enjoy never hearing another commercial on the radio because of XM. The phone availability through Onstar is great. It is nice to know OnStar is there in an emergency.

Suggested Improvements

Memory seats when a specific keyless entry key is used, I had that in a Dodge van in 1996-it is now 10 years later-Buick should have had it by now. More variety of colors.

Review

If only more younger people would test drive the Lacrosse CXS, Buick would be on its way to losing its image as the old folks car. The 3.6 liter engine always has plenty of power, but the car's real strength lies in its suspension. This car never meets a curve it doesn't love. And the sound insulation is outstanding. This is a car that loves to be driven and driven hard. Give it a try.

Favorite Features

Power, handling, silence.Fun to drive.

Suggested Improvements

Really, I can't think of any.

Review

Very well built safe feeling car. The styling may be a little bit behind the times, but it definitely stands out above the rest on the road. Every other car looks the same. It is so quiet it's hard to tell if the engine is running inside or outside of the car. It reminds me so much of my 1989 Olds Cutless Supreme SL I had for 13 years, which I loved. I got it with 6 passenger seating (sort of like a bench seat)with a flip fold console.

Favorite Features

Dual climate control and soft ride. Very well built 6 passenger seating. Console flips up and down with ease

Suggested Improvements

Interior light buttons (2) on dash do not match the style of the rest of the buttons on the inside of the car. Looks out of place and odd The chrome tech wheels look great however they really are just a plastic covering over the aluminum alloy wheel. Durablity of the chrome plastic is questionable
