First, I don't believe in 10's. I compared the car to the 300 Chrysler Limited, 300 series BMW, and 330 Lexus. We drove all of them including the Acura TL (snakey handling in the wet when pushed). All are nice cars. but for the money this was the winner ahead of the Chrysler. The Lexus is O. K. but it's a dog, requires premium fuel, and doesn't handle that well. The interior is nice, but uses an egg shell finish on everything to hide the flaws. It's really expensive for what you get...or don't get. We traded an ex v-6 Honda and my wife is the one who will drive it most. She liked the performance over the looks of the Chrysler and I agree.

I previously owned a Buick Century and was very upset when I found out they stopped making them. I bought the LaCrosse because I was told it was the replacement for the Century. I have not been impressed. I do like the car, but only at this point because it is a new car, and who does not like a new car. I had very good luck with the Century as far as engine problems went. I was told that the LaCross has a new engine design and I am quite sceptical about that. It does not seem to have the power that the Century had. I have very slow acceleration when I am running my air, and the air conditioning is no where near the performance that the Century had.I am not happy about that. I am disappointed

Here is my feedback after 18 K mi./28K km. So far the car was problem free, had bearing assembly replaced a few weeks after the purchase but it was a minor issue. Great fuel economy on the highway but a bit thirsty in the city. Great ride and build quality, very satisfied with the vehicle. Outstanding value for the money.
Impressed by the LaCrosse

I have previously owned a 2002 Buick Century and before that a 1999 Olds Cutlass. I have found the LaCrosse to be a decided upgrade. The 3.8 liter engine is superior to the 3.1 (although not the gas mileage), the ride is firm, ultra-quiet, and luxurious. The sound system is superior to either of the previous two cars, and the interior amenities far better. In addition, people have commented as to how stylish the car looks, which never happened with the Century ("stodgy" was the word). Within 1000 miles, I have already recorded 29 mpg twice on trips of over 100 miles. The doors fit "tight." I hope the vehicle doesn't depreciate like older Buicks are known to do.
