First V6 I've owned- Leather Group FWD V6 with Sunroof and Chrome Plated wheels
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.
My first Buick, not my Dad's car
Well, after owning several foreign cars including BMW, Mercedes...upper scale american, Lincoln, Cadillac... I was trying hard not to like this car, it's a BUICK! I was so wrong, in love with this car! It handles well, plenty of pep and has just as many if not more gadgets than some of the foreign cars I've had. Gas mileage is a shocker...great on the interstate! I get a lot of compliments even. I absolutely love a Mercedes S class but for the difference in money the Buick holds its place in luxury feel. And maintenance is half the cost also. If you want all the toys and a comfortable car do not miss the Lacrosse when shopping for your next car. Get all options and you'll love your purchase. The only option mine lacks is back seat dvd , single, didn't need it. But enjoy the car immensely! Happy hunting..

Great Value, Best in category for the price
I cross-shopped this 2014 LaCrosse w/the Avalon hybrid, ES300 hybrid, MKZ hybrid, Fusion hybrid, and some 1 year used Audi A4's and BMW 3-series; this care definitely had a superior suspension and quieter cabin that all of the above. My car is my automotive office; I need to have reliable, quiet tele-conferences while driving, but also want to be able to crank some tunes in between w/a high quality audio system. It does both of these very well. The infotainment system works fine, but is a bit slow, but as I cross-shopped, I find that it is true for most brands. I was biased in trying to get a domestic car if the quality and value were there; I believe I got it! Mixed MPG = 32 after 1K miles!
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!

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!
