All the negative comments about the lacrosse PREMIUM ALL WHEEL DRIVE are not as i am experiencing my LACROSSE. My LACROSSE list at $ 50,370 was well worth the experience i am enjoying. I can only assume that the negativity i saw in the reviews must be frustration from the PRESIDENTIAL election. By the way this is my third new lacrosse since 2010.

I love my 2017 La Crosse with one exception. The back seat is extremely uncomfortable. At the bottom where the seat bottom meets the seat back there is a raised section that actually hurts the tailbone. All else is great.

Excellent year-end purchase - very comfortable

2017 Buick LaCrosse Essence 4dr Sedan (3.6L 6cyl 8A)

We were looking for a large, comfortable sedan with great leg room and a big trunk for taking long road trips. The original MSRP was $41.6K and the car had all the extra features that we wanted. We've had the car for just over one year and think it was a very good purchase. The ride quality is very good and quiet cabin will probably improve when the slightly noisy OEM 18" Continental tires are replaced with Michelin Defenders. On nine highway trips of more than 250 miles each totalling 3,800 miles, we averaged 32.7 mpg with a high of 35 and a low of 29 on individual tanks. The gear shift selector is manageable but Park can inadvertantly be selected when looking for Reverse - not a great replacement for the long standing P, R, N, Dr, Low arrangement and a questionable piece of engineering. The V6 engine has plenty of power for good acceleration on to expressways and for passing on two lane roads. The 8 speed automatic shifts smoothly and has no trouble finding the correct gear. Navigation screen and radio were replaced under warranty and the quality of dealer support was excellent. The backup camera and the side traffic warnings work well, as rear visibility is slightly hampered. The car does sit low and it is slightly more difficult for older people to get in and out of the front seats easily than in our previous Buick Lucerne. Very little to complain about and would recommend the car that we consider stylish and comparable to vehicles costing considerably more.

I've had my Lacrosse for 2 years, purchased certified with 7000 miles, now has 30,000. Predecessors were 3 Audi A6 , Volvo S80 and Cadillac ats and 2 rare Passat W-6. All were cars I enjoyed. This Lacrosse is easily the best all round of the bunch. Importantly its reliability has been teriffic.

Good Car

Test drove the Essence trim and was very impressed it had more than enough features and had a very comfortable ride experience! The car has a bunch of leg room and the inside cabin eliminates all outside noise, to be honest it is a little over the price tag I am looking for but I had to compromise since it is the perfect full size sedan and I am disappointed that they are discounting this model. Overall great car without all the unnecessary flash!
