2010 Buick LaCrosse CXS 4dr Sedan (3.6L 6cyl 6A)

Review

Just took delivery of my carbon black CXS with chrome plated wheels and I love it. I'm a former Infiniti and BMW owner and I can tell you that the handling and suspension are very solid, even better than I anticipated. The 3.6L engine has plenty of pep and I have found the shifting to be smooth. The seats are very comfortable and the quality of the leather is excellent. If you are into high tech, you will love the entertainment and nav system, blue- tooth entry, remote start, back up camera, and hands-free calling. I also ordered the heads up display, which is one of my favorite features and is completely adjustable in location, intensity, and screen features.

Favorite Features

I really like the exterior styling, but my favorite features are the high tech features. The entertainment and nav system, heads up display, blue- tooth entry, hands free calling and back up camera. The back up camera overlays a grid on the screen showing a projected backward path, which is helpful.

Suggested Improvements

The only thing I don't like is the inability to stretch out your left leg, the wheel well forces you to bend your knee or curve your foot behind the brake peddle if you want to stretch it out. My old Infiniti was the same way, so maybe this is typical of this style of sedan.

Love It

2010 Buick LaCrosse CXS 4dr Sedan (3.6L 6cyl 6A)

Review

We have had our Buick CXS for about a month and I just was to drive even if I have no where to go. We looked at the car for about a month and end up buying the red jewel tint with the brown leather interior w/sunroof, Nav & touring package...love the 19 inch wheels. The ride is very smooth and the red is an eye catcher. Never been stop by some many people and they say it's a Buick...yes. Caviar taste w/a good price $35,580. My wife had people pulling her over on the road asking about it. The car is very responsive and to me it's fast when needed, I don't need to dragster, just get up and go when it's necessary.

Favorite Features

The leather, sun roof (over sized)and the Nav; got to have it. Never had car that I had to program options...wow By the way the 11 speaker sound awesome.

Suggested Improvements

Put the gas tank opener on the driver side, get more cars on the lot. Would had love to had gotten the side mirror car alert option since the car roof swoops and it has a high back end. Other than that I truly love it and everybody I bump into as well. Good Job America!

Review

first of all , people should not listen to reviews from people that went for a test drive , these reviews are for owners who driven these cars for weeks for a true evaluation . as far for people complainig about transmission shifts are to slow , its done for fuel savings , but if you shift trans to sport mode its a complete different animal , my everyday car is my buick , my weekend car is a maserati and i will tell you i love them both and the buick is much quietier on the highway . this is as perfect as a car you can get .

Favorite Features

navigation with 5 day weather forcast , backup camera , ultra quiet ride , and cxs with 3.6 engine

Suggested Improvements

none

Far better than any import!!

Vehicle

2010 Buick LaCrosse CXL 4dr Sedan (3.0L 6cyl 6A)

Review

The quality of this car is far better than any Honda or Toyota! No cheap plastics like the imports! The comfort ans styling of this car are just awesome! Anyone giving this car a low rating must work for toyota or something because this car is incredible for the price! No other car compares to it in the same price range. Even my wife is going nuts over this car (and she' not easy to please when it comes to cars)!

Favorite Features

Heated seats (for wife), Cooled seats (for me). Ambient lighting. Smooth quiet ride. Exterior and interior designs are far ahead of any competition. Price!

Suggested Improvements

Nothing

Drove several

2010 Buick LaCrosse CXS 4dr Sedan (3.6L 6cyl 6A)

Review

Drove the CXL and CXS models at Buick event at local mall. The car looks great in person and the backseat is HUGE. The interior is on par with any Acura TL or Lexus ES and the rear seat blows both away. There wasn't a hint of cost cutting inside the car and every surface and control knob felt substantial. The 3L engine felt adequate during the test drive.

Favorite Features

Nav system, audio system, gauges and color DIC screen. Rear seat leagroom, quietness, interior design, HUD, pushbutton start, weather forecasts in nav screen.

Suggested Improvements

A pillars are huge and visibility of rear passengers is compromised by the rising beltline. Truck opening and capacity are lackluster.

My Last Buick

2010 Buick LaCrosse CXL 4dr Sedan (3.0L 6cyl 6A)

Review

I had rave reviews for this car when I first bought it. That has changed after a month of ownership. I will start off by saying that this car would be owned by Buick right now, if I was not pressured into taking $500 to waive the 60 day buy back program. Two days after I bought the car it started pulling to the left. The dealership in Delaware OH) said they didn't have the equipment and told me to try back in a few weeks. The dealership then refused to return any calls. Another dealership tried to fix the pulling and have not been successful. Now the Sunroof doesn't work and the sun shade works when it feels like it. And they won't buy it back! Thanks GM-you lost 1 more.

Favorite Features

The styling and the ride are excellent.

Suggested Improvements

The electrical system and alignment. Look up "2010 lacrosse issues" on the web and you will see that production was stopped because of the electrical issues. This car is not worth the hassle.

This Car is a Must

Review

If you are looking for a stylish, comfortable sedan, do yourself a favor and check out the LaCrosse. The styling of the exterior and interior is absolutely beautiful. The quality of the interior materials and the layout is top notch. The exterior can easily be mistaken for cars costing twice as much. The power, for me, is sufficient and the ride is extremely compliant. Interior noise is almost non-existent. This truly is not your grandfather or fathers Buick.

Favorite Features

Exterior and interior styling, 19" touring wheels, heated and cooled seats, heated steering wheel, oversized sunroof with auto shade, nav, memory seat for driver, and yes STYLING!!!!

Suggested Improvements

None

The End of an Affair

Written by: Robert steinlauf on 10/17/2009

Vehicle

2010 Buick LaCrosse CXL 4dr Sedan (3.0L 6cyl 6A)

Review

My 40 year affair with Cadillacs ended with my purchase of the 2010 Buick Lacrosse. The car is proof that Government Motors can build fine cars that are fully competitive with Europe and Asia. The first day I drove the car I came out of a supermarket and found a young couple busy photographing my silver gray CXL. the styling of the car is so fresh that it is a pleasure to look at. The chrome hubcaps are beautifully designed . The sunroof is large and well integrated into the interior roof. I found the ride at 70mph on the interstate to be most comfortable. Around town it's fun to drive.

Favorite Features

The car is a pleasure to drive. It handles exceptionally well. The interior is a triumph of quality workmanship. The a/c and cooled seats are very effective in the Florida climate. The radio, and the CD player produce exceptional sound. With or without the back seats folded down- plenty of space.

Suggested Improvements

I notice that the transmission is a little rough as it downshifts when approaching a traffic light. This may just be the newness of the vehicle, since I have driven it only 150 miles. I also suggest that the power steering be modified to be a trifle less responsive.

Fantastic!

2010 Buick LaCrosse CXL 4dr Sedan AWD (3.0L 6cyl 6A)

Review

I traded in my 2009 Toyota Venza after only 2800 miles on it for this. That car was starting to have squeeks and terrible rattling noise coming from the dash. My husband drives the 2006 Lucerne which is fantastic as well, the LaCrosse is just the little sporter version. Very happy with the "quietness" and wonderful ride. Good handeling and styling. Great quality, you get a lot more for your money with Buick products and luxury. We used to be Toyota and Honda buyers, have learned quickly about the quality and luxury Buick has to offer with a MUCH MORE superior product! Love it! Can't go wrong with either the Lucerne or LaCrosse!

Favorite Features

Quietness inside the car, you hear no road noise. Great quality construction, hot styling.

Suggested Improvements

Nothing really.
