Best car I ever Owned

Unfortunately with the recent hurricanes in Florida, I lost my prized Mercedes 430 CLK Cabriolet. Upon doing research, and checking out all the new bodies this year I decided to try a Buick... The ride and drive of this vehicle is far superior to that of the lexus and BMW that I tried, and the price was fantastic. If this is what Buick is now about then KUDOS to GM, you finally have a winner.

I have had my La Crosse for about two months and have driven it almost 5,000 miles. It handles beautifully and has the quietest ride of any vehicle I have owned in the last 30 years. I have had no need for warranty work at all. I am very pleased with this automobile.

Great for safety, has highest rating Insurance only went up $3.00 due to this. The car has double steel doors and double windshield glass. The engine slides under the dash on impact.

After having driven Japanese cars for almost 20 years, I purchased a GM car with trepidation. Amazingly, GM got it right with this car in 2005. When I turned in my Lexus in Aug '05 I felt deprived but the LaCrosse had all the luxury features and more!

I have driven GM cars for the past 32 years and have obviously been very pleased or I would have changed. I like the size, performance, styling and comfort of my La Crosse. I purchased it in 2005 with less than 15,000 miles on it and have had very few problems UNTIL it reached 90,000 miles. After that everything seemed to go wrong with this car almost at once. It's been properly maintained the same as all previous vehicles which lasted 150,000 + miles without problems. I am very disappointed in this vehicle for that reason alone.
