'06 LaCrosse problems

Lifter noise on cold A.M. starts. Starter remains engaged with remote start. The leather seats are too firm and extend too far forward, irritating wife's back of her legs. There's a rubbing sound when backing up out of garage/wheels turned to left. Too many push buttons on dash in proximity to others. Cheap floor mats. Had wipers replaced twice, kept bending in half.
Rear floor design

The rear floor has a very bad curve near the rear door below the rear seat. I had a passenger catch his foot on the lower part of the curved floor as he tried to exit the auto. He triped and fell head first to the ground. He was aware that the floor is a step down, but did not notice the curve near the rear seat. The floor that the seat is resting on should be straight, not curved. This could be very dangereous. Not to mention a law suit if someone is really hurt. I am not sure if GM would fix this problem on MY auto?
Too small

I purchased a used 2005 Buick LaCrosse; because it had low miles on it & I thought it would get good gas mileage. It gets nearly 20 mpgs. It's a small car. Can seat 5 small people. I'm a small woman; but it's difficult to get in & out of comfortably. A patient of mine is close to 6 feet tall and has a hard time getting in & out of it. The front bumper is low & scrapes the curbs & cement islands in parking spaces. It's not comfortable to me. I regret my purchase.

This automobile has been rattletrap on city streets since I bought it (freeways no problem) Disappointing mileage, good handling. Comfortable to drive, good climate control, lousy floormats. Inability to fix rattles will cause me to buy a Mercury or Lincoln next time.
Best car I have ever driven

I would be afraid to buy a well maintained Buick like this even if it's 12 years old.
