I have gotten more compliments on this car than any other car I have owned. I love the look, the ride and the luxury. Nicest car I have ever owned.

The hybrid option is not a success. The gas mileage averaged about 26mpg in mixed highway/town driving, Not as advertised. The non-hybrid version has much better performance. The dash options have separate controls for almost everything. I have to search and test every change which is unfriendly while driving. The On Star is no substitute for a built-in GPS system. The car has poor visibility out the back and the front. The front end (nice styling BUT) scrapes up against every stop-block and scrapes off the paint......it is too low to the ground.

blind spot because of the large frame between roof line and dash. Dangerous with left turns. Also, poor design of drainage tubes or channels whatever they are called. Almost every time it rains hard, I have a puddle on the floor of the passenger side rear and have to blot it up with a towel. Twice I had it cleared with dealer to the tune of about $300 and it keeps happening so I live with it. Not what I want to do but can afford to keep going back to the dealer who admits they have no cure for this. I do. Don't but a Buick. I am sure the newer models have the same system so avoid this.

Bought it new and has been a great car. All the bells and whistles with good gas mileage and a great ride. No major maintenance issues at all.

Had this Lacrosse for 4 months and I'm not impressed any more. Clumsy and noisy is how I would describe it. Here's the list, 1. Car rides fine until you go over a series of bumps. Hold on to your coffee if its open. 2. Knee and head protection may be needed if you want to enter or exit this car quickly. Very cumbersome. Turning in or out of your driveway may cause wiplash due to the stiff suspension. 3. A distinct and fairly audible metalic ticking noise from the engine. Dealership says it's normal, I say there's a problem. Engine shakes noticeably at idle (in drive). Accelleration and crusing is no problem. 4. Trunk space is way too small, tight fit for 2 sets of golf clubs.

We purchased our 2012 Buick Lacross (V6, Premium Pkg) in September 2012, the sunroof was draining inside the backseat floor took it to the dealer and "fixed", got some rain and sunroof was leaking again same place, taken again and "fixed", this time it was fixed right and came faulty from the Manufacturer because apparently there was a seal missing from the rear window..fixed. From the start there was rust on the bumper and trunk of the car, they "fixed" it at time of sale, day after sale and day after after sale, the rust keeps coming back and this makes 5 times the dealer "fixes" the rust issue, a new car as expensive as this should not have rust.

purchased a 2012 lacrosse touring edition a couple of weeks ago. i just passed 1500 miles and I'm getting 20.8 miles/gal.(not from the info menu but, for you guys who went to public schools, it was 1500 miles divided by 72.11 gallons of gasoline) i'll take that. car is quiet and handles pretty good cornering. braking is good also. harman cardon stereo good along with the navigation system. HID front and LED rear lighting superb. tour. ed. comes w/ navigation, rear camera, blind side alert, heads up display, 19" wheels and much much more. New this year is a 300 HP V-6 with twin chrome exhaust tips. i traded 2008 lax.Super(my review SU--PER 3/08)and this is a totally different car.

Less than 30,000 miles, well maintained, comfortable ride, plenty of power and good gas mileage in a full size car.

In 4 yrs I changed the hybrid battery twice, and the hood battery once a yr. I have other gripes but that's really my main. I live in Arizona so the battery conditions are harsh out here but, that's ridiculous.
