rear brake seizure!

I bought this car in Jan this year. Pros include handling, the 3.6 performs very well, awd seems to work as it should, I average about 22 mpg with a best of 27mpg on a trip. Cons, trunk is tiny, brakes do not like weather, I had to accelerate hard in reverse to get brakes to release, since then the Buick dealer did perform a brake service that they are supposed to charge the customer $120.00 for free. However, this did not help. This car is embarrassing to drive with the brakes squealing almost continually. I did contact Buick and they pushed it back on the dealer, they obviously feel that safety is something that the owner should pay for! The dealer told me that they have had other Lacrosse's towed because of this issue. This will be the last GM vehicle I buy because of the lack of response to this serious issue. My kid is learning to drive and is scared of this car. Fortunately for her I also bought an Accord that she loves to drive!

We have owned 5 Jaguars in the last 13 years. Our last one was the worst car we have ever owned so we made sure we checked out the new car we were replacing the Jag with carefully. This car rides and handles just as good as the Jag XF (a tad slower when you punch it) but the interior is roomier and the electronics actually work! So far this has been a real surprise and very reliable.

I had a 2010 which I traded for the 2013 Buick Lacrosse. The 2013 has a noise when you accelerate and slow down. The dealer and factor say there is nothing than do about it.

This car is the best car I have ever driven. Both the exterior and interior are very sharp. Car rides and feels like a Cadillac. The infotainment system is fantastic with several sources to choose from. Built-in Navigation is quite user-friendly. Seats are roomy and the memory function in the drivers side is very useful. Trunk space is adequate and fuel economy could be better.

Although I haven't owned it long I love my 2013 LaCrosse. This car gives a luxury feel at a very affordable price. Some of the reviews stated that the headrest is uncomfortable but I haven't experienced any difficulty with that. I couldn't rate on things such as repair cost because I have not had any repairs done yet. I am going to take it in for a brake inspection soon. Although the front seats are very comfortable for me, I think if I were a larger person they may not be wide enough. The cabin is veryquiet with lots of legroom.
