I found that the outside mirror on the driver side is in the way of seeing to turn left especially in driveways, etc. There is a reflection in these mirrors of the chrome on the dash making a streak reflection in the mirror. The tilt lever is hard to locate at times and gets frustrating. Make sure you put locks on the wheels because mine got stolen. I also added an additional alarm system because there is no motion sensor on the factory alarm. Other then these few problems, it is a wonderful car to drive. Not as smooth riding as the LeSabre but it is sporty and that may be the reason for not having the smooth soft comfort ride. I do recomend this car and hope to get good service.
Great Car!!

I traded a 2000 Regal GS for an almost fully equipped CXS Lacrosse. What an improvement in quality, fit and finish. It drives like a German car, not quite as tight as a BMW but that is what I like about American cars, they are like driving your easy chair around! Off the line performance can't compare to the supercharged Regal. The CXS loses roughly 60ft/lbs of torque from the SC 3800. Sometimes I wonder who makes decisions like this. Once going though, acceleration is nice. The sunroof is extremely dissappointing to me. Air noise is high when open and the worst part is the roof glass goes up over the roof. It doesn't tuck inside the roof like most others! That isn't refinement to me!
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.

I've had my black/black CXS just over two weeks and am mostly happy. The car has just about all of the options. It offers a very smooth ride, and a very quiet interior. Unfortunately, the airbag light is now going on and off, so it's back to the dealer (already) for service.
