Having Second Thoughts

2012 Buick LaCrosse Premium I Group 4dr Sedan (2.4L 4cyl gas/electric hybrid 6A)
I purchased the 2012 LaCrosse four months ago.
The car is so low to the ground that I can't get in and out of my driveway without scraping the front end.
The front and side posts plus the high trunk make visability a real issue when driving in heavy traffic.
Other features that I don't like is the lock/unlock buttons being on the middle console instead of on the door and the only trunk … unlock is on the key fob.
The car performs well enough for a 4 cyl. but I wish I had known about the lack of visability and the drag issues before purchasing.
Also, be aware that no spare tire comes with this car.
You get a can of Fix-A-Flat.
There is a space for it, but no tire.
Had Enough!

2012 Buick LaCrosse Premium I Group 4dr Sedan (2.4L 4cyl gas/electric hybrid 6A)
I bought the new Buick LaCrosse Prem. 1 last November and have tried for a year to get used to the poor visability, the front end scaping on driveway everytime I left or came home, raking the the paint off the nose of the car every time I parked in a space with one of those parking "stops" and knowing that if i have a flat tire somewhere unsafe, I have no spare.
I researched this car … for six months before I made the purchase but there was no way to know about the blind spots and how low this car was to the ground.
It was beautiful but I traded for something with better visability, higher off the ground and a spare tire!
Will not miss it!

2012 Buick LaCrosse Premium I Group 4dr Sedan (2.4L 4cyl gas/electric hybrid 6A)
Nice Lines, and handsome interior. Narrow door frames make entering and exiting difficult. Sits lower to ground than other sedans. Very quiet on the road. AC at high volume is quite noticeable. Lower mileage in city driving than expected or published.

2012 Buick LaCrosse Premium I Group 4dr Sedan (2.4L 4cyl gas/electric hybrid 6A)
I have had my car in the shop twice for the computer failure since the 1st of the year. It cost me 1600 dollars to fix that lasted a sort time. Them put it back in the shop and spent another 900 to reset the computer. A short time later it down again. Both times the work was done by gm dealer. How can I get it fixed to last?
