The rear window is extremely small resulting in large blind spots in the rear left and rear right of the car. The rear doors have smaller windows, which are fairly high in relation to a person sitting in the back. The cabin design, the side and position of the rear windows contribute to diminished visibility and nasty blind spots.The rear-view and the side view mirrors are incredibly small, also contributing to the limited visibility. The front driver seat, while being electronically adjustable, gives a driver the feeling like they are sitting on a moving platform. It is impossible to see the front end of the car no matter how high the front seat is positioned. The car has two control clusters, both in the form of a digital screens. The instrument cluster displays your speedometer and other options controlled by the steering wheel, while the second screen is in the center of the dash for the entertainment system. The left, up, right, and down directional buttons on the right side of the steering wheel navigate through menus displayed in the instrument cluster. However, since there is no dedicated back button it is really confusing figuring out how to get out of them. The steering wheel has a very smooth feel which makes driving and parking effortless. The V6 engine seems fairly responsive and has a decent power output. However, It is paired with a transmission that sometimes gets confused in what gear it wants to shift. This is especially evident when flooring the gas pedal.

I purchased this Buick LaCrosse two years ago and absolutely love it. I have owned 3 Honda Accords and really liked them but this LaCrosse is so much more comfortable and luxurious.

The Lacrosse was a potential candidate to be a retirement gift to myself in a year or two. I decided to rent one for a week to take on a 1,000 mile trip. It is now off my list. The first shortcoming is the cramped driving position. I'm 6 foot, 190 lbs and the position is much tighter than it has to be. The console flares as it approaches the dash reducing valuable seating real estate. My right leg was constantly fighting the console trying to get my foot squarely on the accelerator pedal. The foot well size is reduced by the intrusion of the wheel well. The seat went back far enough, a big plus. The dash seems to be close to the seating position and it curves as it approaches the door. I hit it the corner twice during exiting. Then there is the road noise. It is unacceptable for a car of this supposed caliber. The noise is intrusive starting about 35 mph on anything but smooth asphalt. At highway speeds, it is a constant nuisance. Thankfully, the wind noise is minimal, as it should be. Handling was very excellent and the ride was OK, nothing worth noting. Brakes, OK. The climate control worked very well and the controls were easy to understand. The entertainment system was another weak area. The screen was a nice size, but distracting because of the scarcity of buttons on the dash. The screen is tilted and so is the bezel which made is difficult to push the smallish station preset icons. Everything has to be done via the two knobs and a couple of buttons or the touch screen. Either way, it causes the driver to divert their attention from the road. The sound was excellent and it was not the premium radio. The powertrain (V6) was excellent, as was the gas mileage. I averaged just over 30 mpg (calculated) for highway (mostly), suburban and in-town driving. The trunk was nice and big and the fit and finish were excellent. By contrast, I'm leasing a 2015 Verano which is superior in several areas. It does not exhibit as high a level of road noise as the Lacrosse and the entertainment system is easier to use because it has buttons for things like the radio presets. The driver's position is not as cramped, even though it is slightly smaller overall and the pedal feel of the brakes is better. However, it is smaller and does not have the same ride comfort as the Lacrosse which runs 10-20k more. Maybe the redesign will improve many of these deficiencies which would put the Lacrosse back on my list.
