Had my car 5 years....love it still!

2013 Buick LaCrosse Premium I Group 4dr Sedan (3.6L 6cyl 6A)
I bought my 2013 Buick Lacrosse new. It is large, comfortable and quiet inside. We easily fit what are now 3 teenaged girls in the back seat, and my very large husband has no problem getting comfortable behind the wheel for long drives. We have taken the Lacrosse on several 1200-1400 mile trips, and have put about 57,000 miles on it. It accelerates smoothly and is responsive to my … admittedly "lead foot". In the back, the fold down seats have proven to be handy when bringing home items from the home improvement store, and there is plenty of room for groceries in the trunk. LOVE the Bluetooth for the cell phone! The ambient lighting along the dash at night is a great touch. The interior finishes are great, and are well maintained 5 years later. Gas mileage is ok with the V6 engine, but I do a lot of city driving, as well. I didn't get the backup camera, but wish that I had. A couple of Cons: the Lacrosse has a major blind spot so you do have to be extra careful if you want to change lanes or back out of a parking spot in a crowded lot. The one USB port is inconveniently located. The only problem I have had is with the electronics for the entertainment system, and it didn't happen until the 3 year warranty was up. The stereo/phone system in the car has randomly shut off and on a few times while in use, but for less than a second. Due to it's low profile, if you are very large like my husband, getting in and out of the passenger seat may prove to be annoying. I do still get compliments on it's appearance, interior, and smooth ride. Overall it is a great car and I do not regret purchasing it at all.

2013 Buick LaCrosse Premium I Group 4dr Sedan (3.6L 6cyl 6A)
Trading in my '12 Avalanche for the LaCrosse was a tough choice I made 2 weeks ago.
So far I have no regrets.
Living around Chicago, gas prices are hovering around $4.50/gal for reg grade.
I needed to trade the V8 gas guzzler for something more reasonable and this was my choice.
I've considered the 300, but went with Buick due to Chrysler's past power train issues and overall value … with Buick.
The car handles well, ride quality is okay and acceleration is acceptable.
That's saying a lot
considering I've only owned V8's leading up to this.
I drive with confidence on the highway and can easily accelerate to pass slower vehicles.
Sure beats the 2013 Toyota Avalon.

"Wouldn't you really rather drive a Buick". Old 1950's slogan is true. The 2013 Toyota Avalon I traded in was unbarably uncomfortable and local dealership would not fix the seat padding flaws. I love the BUICK in every respect except ; (1) view out back window is limited, backup camera is a 'must' (2) there is no place to conveniently lay my cell phone (3) I don't like the image of being … 'old'.
acceleration noise

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.
