Having owned many brands of cars I never expected to love a Buick as much as I do. I was out shopping for two year old cars and driving barely used Genesises, K900s, Volvos and Audi A6s. I randomly stopped at a Buick dealer and they had a Lacrosse just in off of lease in the back I spotted while looking at something else. I opened the passenger door, sank into the super soft seats and finally said “AHA!” The seats in all those other cars are very firm and I just couldn’t justify getting out of a more comfortable Kia Optima for no other reason than I needed a bigger car for carrying passengers. I searched hard until I found one for sale as there weren’t many made and I wanted a blue one which was only made for 2017. I bought it and love it! The seats are like nothing else in it’s class and after 3 hours of driving in Atlanta traffic I now find I’m calm and my body isn’t tense or hurting from a more firm German style seat. My only complaints would be that there are no heated rear seats. This seems small but even my Optima had that along with cooled/ventilated seats. I shouldn’t have to buy the top of the line to get either of those at the price point of the Essence which was $45k new. My Optima also had a heated steering wheel (only available on the top level even though the button is already there on the wheel) and the stereo on it blew this Bose Centerpoint out of the water. No matter how I adjust this stereo it sounds hollow and like a step back to cars from last century. Yes it booms, but it sounds empty whereas other cars seem to surround you better nowadays. Also the navigation seems to have it’s own mind at times when it tells me I’m “off-road” when I’m clearly sitting at a 6 lane highway intersection. Even though it does that I still love the car! I love how it drives and it often surprises me when laying into a curve, even without the Sport drive package. It’s a unique car to own but I’d advise taking it on a long test drive before purchasing and to try the NAV and stereo too. I

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!

Best car I have ever owned. It's fast, responsive and loaded with safety features. Love the styling --it looks like a Buick and is unmistakable in a parking lot with a sea of other cars, It is Distinctive, Powerful and has a Mature all-American styling. The car is assembled in America outside of Detroit.

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.
My favorite Buick

I have had many Buicks over the years and this is the very best one. It has the most safety features and the new engine has unbelievable power. The brakes are the very best of all the cars that I have owned. I was in my own business for many years and leased a new car every two years, so I have had a lot of experience with different cars. This is the best one! It is a shame that Buick doesn't make this model any longer.
