Incorrectly thinks it knows what's right (always)

My wife and I rented a LaCrosse for a week in Colorado. We put more than 1000 miles on the car during this time. Pros: The seats are comfortable and the ride is nice. Cons: The controls and instrumentation are awful. The gear shift is very un-intuitive and you cannot go easily from manual shift mode back to automatic without going into neutral. The back-up camera comes on in reverse (duh), but it does not turn off until you roll forward for a while in a forward gear; this is distracting and unlike all the other cars I have driven. The paddle shifters are worse; it's very easy to hit them accidentally, at which point you *have* to shift via them; there is no easy way to go back into full automatic mode... you just wait until GM decides it's the right time to return to auto mode. The engine turns off when you come to a stop... sometimes... others it doesn't. The headlight controls are hidden by your left hand if you drive using 9-3 or 10-2 hand position. The touchscreen must be used for climate control and it's arcane and opaque in terms of getting the air set just right. The audio system controls on the touchscreen were such that I just turned the volume to zero to avoid having to deal with it (why no just turn it off? you ask... well, when I tried that, it turned off the whole touch screen along with the climate control). Overall, the user interface with this car is what I would expect from sophomore level design students who did not have enough time to complete their semester project. If it were simply a matter of getting used to different controls I would be more forgiving, but the controls o this car are just plain bad and would be a nagging irritation for as long as it's owned. Also, the gas tank is small and I had to hit the pumps more often than I expected. Not recommended at all.

It is cheaper to lease a Lexus or Mercedes than this LaCrosse.

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.

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 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.
