I have owned 5 new Park Avenues, one used, and now this Lacrosse, my wife 's car. Purchased used with 17,000 miles in 2013, now have 86,000 miles. My wife commutes 80 miles, round trip, during the work week, on major highways. She loves it! Quiet, comfortable (we bought the car after she sat in several other like sized vehicles, as she has had back surgery), great lumbar support. She averages 29 MPH on the highway..,not great..but better than many. We drove it to Florida last year, and it was flawless. It's not the snappiest off the line, but we knew that going in. Our objective was comfort, looks and decent mileage. You will love driving this car. The only service we has had is routine, with synthetic oil (recommended by GM), and our first major service is due at 88,000 mi. Only one minor complaint...the transmission shifts a little hard when cold...it actually clunks...and I think is it related to the electric/motor transition, as the car motor actually shuts off when stopped and flips to the battery. Not a big deal...we have gotten used to it....dealer says its normal.

Bought this car new back in November of 2012, the first thing I noticed like many other owners is that the front is to low I have had to file insurance claims numerous times to have the front fixed after hitting parking lot blocks or going up a high driveway, also the car started having problems running right and idling problems, check engine light came on took to dealer and all I could get from them that they saw in the system where check engine light came on but had no clue why it came on and all they could say was there was nothing they could do cause they could not reproduce the problem, to this day still having lots of problems with car running right and now makes noises.

Very quiet ride. Very economical, aesthetically attractive. Traded a great car for an SUV. Needed carrying space

The hybrid option is not a success. The gas mileage averaged about 26mpg in mixed highway/town driving, Not as advertised. The non-hybrid version has much better performance. The dash options have separate controls for almost everything. I have to search and test every change which is unfriendly while driving. The On Star is no substitute for a built-in GPS system. The car has poor visibility out the back and the front. The front end (nice styling BUT) scrapes up against every stop-block and scrapes off the paint......it is too low to the ground.
