The good,the bad & the ugly
The Lacrosse CXS is fun to drive. Very comfortable seats. Lots of power from the new 3.6 variable-valve-timing V-6. Love the XM satellite radio. Good fit and finish, both inside and out. Good handling car. Much better driving and more comfortable seats than previously owned 2006 Lucerne CXL V-6. Poor gas mileage on the 3.6 V-6. Some kind of reflection appears in both sideview mirrors (suspect from bright moulding at bottom of front side windows?) Don't like GM forcing customer to buy their OnStar system. I could live without it. Rear seat leg room barely adequate. The rear view is rather ugly, especially with the 2 big tin can mufflers.
Premium American Style
We are completely satisfied with our Buick LaCrosse. It is an excellent value for any person in the market for a sedan.
My 2nd Buick
I had a 01 Buick LeSabre before and wanted a new car and I liked my Buick so I bought another. The gas mileage is great. Everyone that rides in my car really likes it. Just wish the console was not so far back.
Buick Junk
My Buick Lacrosse has been a mechanical nightmare. I have had defective parts replaced consistently since I purchased it Thank heavens it was still under warranty. However, now all the seals in the rack and pinion steering need replaced at a cost to me of $900.00 This car is 3 years old!!!! I drove a ford Taurus for 175,000 miles with major repairs coming after 100,000 miles. I am fed up with this car, plan to replace it anything but a Buick. Oh, I also have water sloshing from one side to the other in my engine. I have a repeat complaint about this, to no avail. I am really a dissatisfied customer.
Should have bought the Honda
It's such a turd. The gas mileage isn't terrible, at about 22 mpg with mostly city driving. Its comfortable and is quiet on the highway. Acceleration and passing power is just OK. BUT It handles awful, the build quality is about what youd expect from a GM - terrible. The transmission is absolute trash. My car has 100K miles and it needs to be replaced. It still drives but it slips, bangs into gears, grinds, etc. - I also owned a 2008 and I went through 3 transmissions during ownership. Also, no leather wrapped steering wheel? C'mon. Yet it has a sunroof, backup sensors? Hmm. Anyways, I was also looking at a 2002 Honda Accord V6 and I still don't know why I didn't buy it. Will never own another GM. They belong at enterpise.
