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!

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.

Adjustable seat flaw in track design.....

Beware of flaw in seat adjustment design... the track is open so anything small can fall into it and it is impossible to get out without spending hundreds of dollars on mechanics fees and it not under any type of warranty. Cost almost $1000 to repair and what a head ache. Would almost consider not purchasing another vehicle with an open track adjusted seat design. Would appreciate GM looking into this issue!!!

Mistake

I don't like how it stops going through a drive-through every time you go also traffic light I don't like that at all I wish you could turn it off . Steering wheel very loose. I liked my 2011 performance better. I just wanted to upgrade but I've only had it a month so now I'm stuck. Not happy at ALL

Was this Car designed Frustrate Old People?

I am six foot six every time I set the seat to my size and every time I started the car it went to the position of my 5'3" mother in law. Then I could hit setting two and it would go back to my setting. I nearly broke my leg several times. My son who is a Rice engineering took an hour to figure out how to shut this feature off. The radio periodically looses her display preferences. I then spend an hour figuring out what button she accidentally pushed to change it. My Mother in law is 86 and insisted on an American car. So I had to buy this since I was not spending 50,000 on a Cadillac. The controls make this a nightmare for someone like her. I have an Lexus and an Accra with easy intuitive controls and no problems with the seat or radio setting, What is wrong with American cars, Are they complicated in order to mess with old people? GM why upset the only demographic buying this crap?
