Had to get rid of my precious

Great car, called it my precious. Tires that came with car hydro planed in the rain. Got new ones and it was perfect. Terrible gas mileage, but I mostly drove short trips. Loved the car overall. My husband had trouble getting in and out of front seat. He has a bad back. Traded this car only because of this trouble and bought a Buick Envision.

Love the car but have mixed feelings right now

I really love the car but quality and reliability are questionable for me considering the problems I had in less than a month with a brand new car. The first car I got had the engine light on before leaving the dealer. The next day “service stabiliTrak” message was in my dashboard. Car was replaced for a new one. Everything was fine until the battery died with 20 days only. Car was towed back to dealer, battery replaced and nothing wrong, but a defective battery, was found with the car. Hopefully, I won’t have any other problem with it. Time will tell. This car is very comfortable, quiet and spacious. Trunk is on the small side but enough for me and my family (2 small children).

2012 Buick Lacrosse - Touring

I have had my Lacrosse for just over one month. Pros: Excellent ride and comfort. Reliability great compared to my 2008 Cadillac. Cadillac in shop 3 times in first month of ownership. Buick running great (knock on wood). Workshipship is excellent - no rattles, doors, hood, trunk fit is fine. Fuel consumption is as advertised - over 27 on highway, averaging slightly over 17 in the city. Con: Reflection of the dashboard on windshield is distracting and blinding at times. Would recommend highly over the CTS - mine was an overpriced piee of junk.

Nice Lines, and handsome interior. Narrow door frames make entering and exiting difficult. Sits lower to ground than other sedans. Very quiet on the road. AC at high volume is quite noticeable. Lower mileage in city driving than expected or published.

This car is exceptionally clean with a smoothe ride and good mpg.
