2007 Buick LaCrosse CX 4dr Sedan (3.8L 6cyl 4A)

Review

In my effort to downsize I went a little too small. Cabin is cramped for me & backseat is tight. Needs a modern engine & 6-speed transmisson. Flat spots in the power ranges due to lack of gears. It is a very nice car that is smooth & quiet for its size & price. No problems except for recalls.

Favorite Features

That it is a Buick .

Suggested Improvements

Multi-valve overhead cam engine & a 6- speed transmisson .

Worth the money

Review

When I bought this car, I felt for the first time buying a car that I got a car that gives me more bang for my buck. The safety features in the car are great. Front and side air bags, traction control. The car is very confortable and does very well for gas mileage I have the CXL and I'm getting about 32 mpg on the highway. Very sturdy vehicle, safe and well worth the money if you are looking into getting a family car.

Favorite Features

Dual climate control, traction control, automatic running lights.

Suggested Improvements

Remove that annoying silver strip on the interior.

Review

The car is like a standard transmission on hills. You have to be quick from brake to gas because it will roll back. I am having trouble getting tires balanced. Dealer replaced all four tires on car because they could not be balanced. I am still having trouble on rear tires. They have been balanced three times. I am taking the car back to try again. I have 2500 miles on car at this time. The radio skips stations. I was told by dealers that the transmission was normal, to me it is a danger as cars pull up close behind. I have been back to dealer so much I am taking a rest for a while.

Favorite Features

Looks

Suggested Improvements

Better gas mileage, a transmission that will hold on hills. Better tires, not Goodyear

Should have kept the 2001 Century I had

Review

I traded my 2001 Century for the 2007 LaCrosse. Bad mistake. Interior is small. Everything inside is plastic and rattles all the time. It has rattled since I drove it off the lot with 5 miles on it. Chrome and fake wood reflect sunshine bad and streetlights relfect bad off of it at night. Those pieces also rattle. Took it to the dealer and they said nothing could be done about the rattling. Windshield leaks air and has a whistle at 60 mph. Gas mileage stinks. Century got 10 mpg better even after 150,000 plus miles. Trunk is very hard to shut. Large trunk but small opening. Rough ride with a lot of road noise. I'm very disappointed in this car.

Favorite Features

Nothing I would call favorite.

Suggested Improvements

Less plastic in the interior. Improve gas mileage.

Review

Try it, you'll like it. Smooth ride and solid power. Use the underrated editor reviews and the grandpa image to get a bargain from the dealer. I found mine after it had been sitting on a lot for 2 months - deal of a lifetime.

Favorite Features

Great sound system and comfortable seat.

Suggested Improvements

Needs better mechanism for opening trunk.

Love my LaCrosse

Review

I have owned many GM cars including Buicks. My LaCrosse is the best yet. I like everything about it. I have everything on it except remote start and enjoy all features. The backing light warning feature is great, heated seats, sat. radio, etc. But I really must compliment GM on the OnStar feature. I love having the hands free phone, emergency help, door unlock service, and emails monthly from my car about its performance. OnStar makes me feel safer when I'm driving alone. Thanks for a great ride and driving experience.

Favorite Features

OnStar, heated seats, sat.radio, size of car, good size trunk (I can get 4 golf bags in it.)

Suggested Improvements

Better gas mileage.

Review

I absolutely love this auto. Superior if not equal to the so called fancy imports. The interior design is flawless; inside and out. All of the outside and inside panels are a complete match,as a result of excellent quality from GM. I would take this car over an Accord or Camry any day.

Favorite Features

I love the XM radio, the 6 cd changer, OnStar, leather seats, remote starting of the car, electronic monitoring devices. There is not enough space to include all of my favorite features.

Suggested Improvements

Add an open trunk button in the car, so you do not have to use the one located on your remote door lock and starter.

There are a few warts

Review

Overall, very satisfied, but have a few warnings. MPG is hopelessly below what the EPA sticker says (barely get 20mpg in city). Although the trunk is voluminous, the opening is smaller than the Century and I find it difficult to get large objects inside. And whoever put that piece of chrome across the middle of the dash so all sunlight from 10am to 2pm shines directly in the driver's eyes needs to be flogged.

Favorite Features

Folding armrest is cool. Car has good pickup for my highway driving.

Suggested Improvements

Remove chrome strip on dash, please, before I go blind!

Review

Driving compartment feels cramped, parking seems to require more effort on the steering wheel. Closing the trunk lid requires you to put your hands on the trunk to close the lid. Needs a handle.

Favorite Features

Quiet ride

Suggested Improvements

The emblem on the trunk should be raised to grip it to close trunk door

I love my Buick

Review

I researched this car for a few months and decided on the Buick rather than a small Lexus or Mercedes. The new JDE Power dependability ratings make me feel really good about my selection. Cannot say anything bad about the car. Lively in tight situations while still exhibiting the Buick trademark smooth ride. Great fit and finish. Very pleased. A "grown up" car you don't have to be a grandfather to love.

Favorite Features

Nimble when it counts. Quiet in the city or on the highway. Leather, nicely appointed interior. Great body style.

Suggested Improvements

Vents in the back seats. But really it is just about right.
