buick lacrosse offers great value
I bought a 2013 Lacrosse in August and have been very pleased. It came with the E-Assist, 4 cylinder and usually get 20 to 21 miles per gallon in town and 38 to 40 miles per gallon on the road. It has plenty of power and the hybrid gives you a boost in horsepower when needed. I am 6 ft 3 and have plenty of room in the front and also as a passenger in the back seat. The automobile is very quite and solidly built. I bought the model with leather interior, heads up display, heated seats, and the warning system on the mirrors that let you know if a car is in your "blind spot". This is a quality automobile and Buick has done an excellent job. Would definitely buy this automobile again.

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!

Lyft Rides Drive Home American Value
I bought this Hybrid used for a comfortable ride for 4 to 5 people, outstanding rear seat legroom, quiet ride, luxury finishes and great mileage. Now 70,000 miles later it still excels in all those categories. I have been riding Lift recently. Much newer cars like the Hyundai Sonata have back seats that feel like I am sitting on lumpy potatoes. The back seat of the LaCrosse wraps the passenger in comfort, just like the front. Reliability and repair costs have been excellent. I think it’s perfect for driving in crowded California with a lot of time spent on the freeway. It also handles very well on scenic mountain roads as a luxury touring car. Buick made a great car in this hybrid. Product Labeling is bad for the LaCrosse Hybrid. You will probably have to check each LaCrosse shown for the 30+ mpg. Unfortunately Buick discontinued the hybrid in 2016 before it could establish the great reputation it deserves.

Could Be Lethal LaCrosse
Transmission went out while driving. Towed to shop in Dickinson, Texas on a Friday evening. Called them the next Wed. and was told that they had pulled the transmission. Went there the next day and was told again they had pulled the transmission. Then, was told by someone else that they transmission had not been pulled and would be pulled the next day(Friday - a week after being towed in). Called them(they never call me) and found out that the "wave plate" 3rd & 5th gears were broken. Was told that this has been a problem with many of the GM transmissions. Wish I had known this before buying the 2016 La Crosse. The parts were "back ordered" and I am waiting. Got a "loaner" vehicle(a GMC SUV) which is being driven, but it is a "minimal" vehicle and I would not ever buy one of these. I am VERY DISAPPOIONTED in the quality of the Buick La Crosse and the RELIABILITY of this vehicle.
