Great car . . .

Replaced my large Cadillac with the LaCrosse. Missed the leg room and extra smooth drive for a while. But the difference in cost was worth it. This car has had one -- one! -- repair which was fully covered by warranty. Worn wheel bearing. Otherwise it has been just about flawless. That was better than my Cadillac!

That's a BUICK!?!

I loved it when a friend of mine saw my 2013 Lacrosse eAssist Hybrid for the first time and exclaimed incredulously, "That's a BUICK!?!" The LaCrosse eAssist Hybrid definitely breaks the stereotype of the stodgy sedan driven by little old ladies. It is quite roomy and offers a nice combination of luxury and economy. The car is very comfortable, handles well, and gets the fuel economy of a much smaller car. It's not exactly a screaming performer but for city fuel economy in the mid- to upper 20s and highway mileage in the upper 30s, that can be excused. One odd feature is the car does not come with a spare tire! Instead, it ships with a 12-volt air compressor that also has a built-in bottle of sealant. Unfortunately, the sealant on mine has an expiration date of 2018, so it was already no good. I went ahead and invested in a spare tire and a jack to feel safer going down the road. I've had the car for six months and have put a bit over 5,000 miles on it with no trouble at all. It really is a shame GM quit producing this car for the North American market. UPDATE--I have now had the LaCrosse just over a year and while I am still generally impressed with it, I have had to spend a little bit of money on it. I've had to have the air conditioning system overhauled, which was a great disappointment at 63,000 miles. I've also had to replace the battery, buy a new set of tires and have it aligned but these last three are expected maintenance items on an eight-year-old car (mine rolled off the line in July 2012). As used cars go, the LaCrosse seems to be somewhat undervalued, even compared to its GM sibling, the Chevy Impala. If you're looking for a comfortable, well-appointed car to keep and drive for a few years, the LaCrosse eAssist Hybrid could be an excellent value. Further Update: The LaCrosse has given me 3.5 years of good service and is just a few hundred miles from turning 100,000. A year ago, I had to replace the timing set, but that also is a maintenance repair. Other than that, it's still holding its own with no sign of slowing down. At this point, I feel like every additional mile I get out of it is a bonus. I had my mother's 2013 LaCrosse, which only has 13,000 miles on it (no, that's not a typo) for a month between Thanksgiving and Christmas, and after getting my LaCrosse back, which now has more than 107,000 miles on it, I can say that aside from using a bit of oil, it still runs and drives like new. I had to replace the battery recently, and when the old one failed, I discovered an interesting feature. This car can jump start itself from the 115v battery pack in the trunk!

My husband and were in a horrific accident where another diver broadside us going 80 miles per hour. We are very banged up and I currently can't walk but with therapy hopefully I'll heal. The police and hospital were surprised how well we were from the condition of our car. Loved this car.

Have a 2013 Premium Leather II with sun roof, navegation, xm, AWD, 18" wheels and all the rest of the goodies that can be added to the car, I has never seen a mechanic except for reg. maint. check-ups and oil changes. The other one is a 2015 Touring and also the same performance and service as the older one, I have no complains at all. Yes my Touring has been modified with a turbo producing now 387hp, How it response when I press the gas pedal. My wife drive the 2013 and she is in love with the car, we had before one BMW 328I and a Mercedes C320, I will never go back to them. As long as Buick keep this quality I'll stick with my Buick's. Yes there little things like the rear view window but those are minor things.
