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.

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 wont 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).

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.

We bought our 2012 Lacrosse with around 48k miles and with all the bells and whistles which is why I also reluctantly bought an extended warranty. Ours is the touring model and very fun to drive. I'm 215 lbs and 6'3" and I fit fine in the driver's seat which is very comfortable. I thought I loved the dash with all the buttons but I still have trouble fining the right button when needed. It's my wife's car so she doesn't have this problem. The car feels nimble and responsive and is very powerful with just over 300hp and really is fun to drive. Visibility is good except for the large A pillars which will sometimes hide traffic. Love the turn sensitive headlights. We now have around 115k miles on the car and we've had the transmission replaced under the extended warranty. Also, a few oil leaks and we needed the power steering hoses replaced. I do not like the tranny on this car... .or at least the mapping. Even under normal or slight acceleration, the RPM's go into the 5k range when shifting from 1st thru 3rd. Other than those few things, we love the car. We have our fingers crosses that something else expensive doesn't break.
