steering arm at 1ooo miles forth set of struts at 36000 rack and pinion at 35000 steering makes noise yet power steering pump whining now buick claims no defect because we drive 2.5 miles of gravel to town. Having a hard time talking to dist. specialist they claim I should know to call them before 24000 miles. How? I have driven 3000 miles for repairs and they are charging me .35 cents per mile if they would buy me out. What a sad day for buick, worst costumer sat. ever. Car is litteraly shaking apart,ruff ride and noisy going on interstate. rear window rattle door latch replaced Insulation front fender falling out. I have 5 other vehicles that havent had any of these repairs.

I wanted to get the CXL because of some features it had, but did not want leather seats. So we had to get the CX in order to get cloth seats. Our 97 Century Limited had cloth seats (Buick let me down on this one). Mileage is dissappointing, 28 highway / 19 city. Our old Century got 30+ highway. But this LaCrosse is a very enjoyable and fun car to drive. It is comfortable, pleasant to look at, and despite my dissappointment with the leather seat issue, a really nice car. Guess we'll keep it til Buick comes up with one that will get 35 - 40 mpg! With the sleeker styling, I do keep brushing my head against the top of the door each time I get in.
fabric on seats

my 2001 buick centry was a dream inside and out, the 2009 is a great looking car but I hate the fabric on the seats. It collects every piece of lint and dirt.The dealership advised me to spray it with an antistatic spray, which I did that doesn't really work. Wishing I had my old interior again.
Best used car I ever had

I've owned about 15+ cars in my life from infinity, jaguar to heavy duty trucks, I bought this used Buick with the V8 5.3L just before the pendemic in early 2020 for about 5000$ cad with 180000km in pretty decent condition. I was looking for a beater car to go to work instead of adding too much mileage on my brand new Toyota Tundra. I'm still shocked about this car about how nice it is, it was supposed to be a beater car and it's not, it has tons of power and luxury enough for the year to be very comfortable. Now about the mechanical reliability: it had the complete service history on the car when I bought it and I find that I had a decent deal on it, it was early pendemic and used car prices didn't explose yet. I had a dragging starter and got a spare one coming with the car in the deal. I almost immediately replace the set of tires and eventually replaced the starter and the alternator and battery in the same time, living in northern Canada I didn't want to take a chance and also do my oil change with synthetic every 5000km. The car has a built in charger pack for extended parking time but I find myself even using the car in my days off, so I don't really need to plug it for charge, I only use the block heater when it's below -18. This is how much I love this car, I find myself barely using my brand new truck, I even got the satellite radio subscription for the car and not the truck haha. The only drawback is the front wheel drive and the sideway set-up of the engine, with a standard straight set-up and a rear wheel drive, this car would've been a real bomb, yes I'm weighing my words, bomb and Buick in the same sentence.

I was fortunate to be able to get the third Lax Super made at GM's highly acclaimed Oshawa assembly plant. So far, no problems to report. The car's acceleration, exhaust note, and seating comfort are great. It came fully loaded, except for the sunroof.
