The LaCrosse has high performance 3.8L engine, excellent suspension system, helpful computer gadgetry, and European elegance inside and out. Good job, GM.

Love my 2005 Buick Lacrosse. Bought it new a little over 13yrs ago, its got 101,400 miles on it & it still drives well. No real major repairs--things do tend to wear out some with age on any car. Still love driving it. Very comfortable seats.

Just OK

Numerous things you took for granted on other cars, aren't there. For example folding side mirrors. In the garage they used to come in handy. Wipers very poor. Nowhere to hold to close downsized trunk. Last 7 cars were Buicks, but not next time!

LaCrosse is Very Good

Negatives are few and mostly unimportant: engine is noisy on outside of car; outside mirrors cannot collapse; seatbacks recline by lever instead of power; no tire pressure indicators (bad oversight); Overall mpg with a 75/25 city/hwy ratio is only 17 mpg (EPA rating is 20- 29). That's it! Car is very quiet, has excellent buttoned-down ride, excellent driveability, very good acceleration, esp. at highway speeds and is a pleasure to drive. Fit and finish are excellent, and we like the styling and the interior layout - it's clean. In short, we are very pleased with the 2005 Buick LaCrosse.
