Buick/GM has come along way

I've never been a big GM fan but this new Buick has me thinking. I had the Lacrosse for a two day drive and was actually surprised how I liked it. The styling both inside and out are much better than older Buicks, much nicer materials and fit and finish. It had a great ride and with the exception of a little road noise over some bad pavement, it was very quiet. There were a only a couple complaints about the car 1) needs more side bolstering in the driver's seat to hold you in better 2) typical GM needs to upgrade their sound system, it was ok but needs much deeper sounds 3) also typical GM needs to work on electronics, the automatic climate control kept turning the fan speed up and down to keep the car cooled where as my Toyota and Lincoln can do it without blasting the fans to maintain the set temp. Just small complaints to an other wise great road trip car.

Unsolvable battery drain kills batteries every year or so. Many reviews address this issue but i missed them before buying. Just spent 300 dollars for new battery w labor. Location in trunk is such that the average guy could never remove it. Must completely remove trunk linings to even see it. Problem has afflicted lacrosse for years and never fixed.

I bought my Lacrosse in July 2017. In October 2018, the serial gateway module that controls the instrument panel had to be replaced. My dealer said that he had never serviced this problem before so it may have just been a fluke as others were not having similar issues. Other than this, I loved owning this car - with one exception. The auto stop/start which helps save fuel is annoying. I would have liked to have been able to disable it. I traded this car for personal reasons and was disappointed in its resale value.

Surprising long distance mileage of 34 mpg to Oregon and back from SoCal. I drove 15 hours straight each way and was less tired than any car I have driven. Great style and finish.

We just bought a 2017 La Crosse Premium which is loaded. We drove it 30 miles and the transmission was slipping, did not shut off when stopped, a "Check Transmission" light came on, and the service symbol came on and stayed on. I would push the gas pedal after the stop lighted changed, and the car hesitated. Obvious transmission issues. I pulled over and called the dealership. They told me to go home and bring it back in the morning. I told them I was afraid of being stranded. I brought it back and they gave us a loaner. It now runs great!
