Although the tires can be a bit noisy on some road surfaces, I love driving my LaCrosse. I've had it 8 weeks and still look for reasons to go driving. I got the Premium model because I wanted the safety alert seat among other standard features.

Safety features are great-Automatic Vertical and parallel parking feature needs getting used to. Corrective steering is great when getting near edge of road or other lane. New shifting system is outstanding. Voice recognition features very improved along with Navigation system. Entertainment system/technology improved from my recent 4 Lacrosses. Turned in a 2014 premium Lacrosse and impressed with all the 2017 changes and new styling. 30 MPG on trips. Looking forward to Lacrosse Avanir.

It is a quiet car, smooth riding and gets very good gas mileage. I'm not a fan of the automatic off at ever stop light. And the transmission and engine never seemed ready to go, it's got plenty of power but has a decent lag until it down shifts like 2 gears and reacts to your punching the gas. I do like the space, it fits the 4 of us easily. Golf clubs fit in the trunk, We have 36K miles in two years and have not had a single problem with the car.

A really decent engine responds well when booted. No problems with merges. The different levels get confusing. A good time to make a list of must-haves or really want. I.e. that base model does not have Sirius. But hey, it has everything else. I find the seat good for long distance riding. Best improvement from my 2012 is the backup camera. The LaCrosse hasnt been good with rear visibility for a long time. Very happy with it. Its been 40,000 miles now. One disconcerting occurence just two weeks ago when it had system hiccup affecting the "engine/transmission system failure" that brought me to a crawl on takeoff and capped in 4th gear. Ultimately the lights went out after letting it sit for 20 minutes. Still brought it in. It needed the ecm to be reprogrammed. Thats 189.00 . Throttlebody needs cleaning as well. Thats next on my budget.. other than that, all is great! 49,000 and all is well! 74,870 and all is great. No rattles, nothing loose.

I have only had the car for a few days so couldn't really answer some of the questions. Lots of new technology which I have to look up in my manual to use. I am not fond of the auto shut off feature and wish I could shut it off when I chose to. I also do not like the fact that the gas tank door is now on the passenger side which is opposite of the Buick I last had. Why should a person have to walk around their car to out gas in!! On the plus side, after test driving different makes, the Buick seems more sound and better quality. One year later I find that I Hate the shift--why pot that extra P (park) to the side on the shift. I also think the climate control should be on a separate button rather than on the screen which is hard to turn the A/C on when driving. My car also has some weird noise in the rear that my dealership hasn't been able to fix. One very good thing is the gas mileage.
