This is the second LaCrosse the family has purchased. The first was a 2013. Each car is as comparably equipped as could be. The new one is a much better car. The tech features have obviously improved between now and 2013. The back up camera with the guide that twists and turns as the wheel does, for example. The adaptive cruise is a cool feature. The posted speed limit indicator is helpful. The lane centering feature I'm not so sure about. It makes adjustments, but very slowly. I think you could easily drift into an on coming lane if you fell asleep. The smart seat feature is a little scary sometimes, but it is definitely helpful. The seat vibrates if the cameras detect a possible collision, thankfully I've only noticed this at slow speeds, parking lots, backing out of the garage, etc. The interior layout is better, and has better materials and touch points. The direct shifter takes a little getting used to, but it works well. In the older one I always felt like the car was floating through the corners, not really connected to the road. And that one had the Hi-Per Strut front suspension too. The new one is much more composed in corners, while still being compliant over bumps and imperfections on the road. We've only had the car a little over a month. But all is good so far!

Buick LaCrosse is a very luxurious car with all comforts you would find in an expensive car. You feel pampered owning, driving, and experiencing this car. It is so sad that the trend is toward SUVs which will end the production of such beautiful and comfortable cars such as the LaCrosse. Old folks like us (65) like comfortable sedans. I have friends who are doing all they can to keep their Buick Park Avenues on the road because of the beauty, comfort, and drive. My 2019 Premium LaCrosse is the replacement for them!

Some things about this years model much worse than 2012 model I had. Shifting, when coming to a stop, car feels like it upshifts as you slow down so you feel a sudden increase in rolling speed as you try to come to a stop. (As if you shifted to neutral while trying to stop.) Must make more forceful routine stops. Parking light comes on randomly when shifting to park. Entertainment system, ipod cuts out randomly, so far on every trip in car, (never occurred on 2012 lacrosse) Navigation system, please correct the logic of the controls when you are trying to add a contact and give it a name like a friends house when you don't always remember their address. Present layout is enter full address and save, exit system, relocate the address and edit it so you can give it a name. Why can't you name the contact at same time you enter it. Spent 15 minutes at dealer with infotainment expert as he fumbled to figure it out. Inability to disable autostop. No problem for red lights, great idea.Terrible in heavy traffic. Please tell me what GM used for start stop cycles/day for starter when this decision was made. Ride comfort is very good and cabin is quiet. I'm sure some of these things I'll adjust to, just shouldn't have to. Don't overtech the cars or you'll end up with a Boeing 737-800 MAX!! Not all technology is good technology and change for the sake of change should never be confused with improvement!!

Rebates made the car very affordable. My 5th Lacrosse in the last 10 years. Great car for touring and short trips. Improvements in Technology and information system are ongoing. This model (Avenir) has several interior great looks.

After a year an a half with our 2019 Lacrosse Avenir AWD I am really pleased with the car overall. It's extremely comfortable in its' interior ergonomics and ride. It handles all road imperfections well with only a small thump at most. The ride with the active suspension is very pleasant and is the perfect combination of decent handling (it's a big car) and smooth ride. The seats are incredibly comfortable and both have more than enough adjustments for every size driver and passenger. The leather seats are heated and that function works very well in the cold months and they are ventilated for summer weather. The cooling function is only marginally effective but still nice to have. The styling is great, especially for a Buick, very sleek and the 20" wheels on ours really completes the fairly aggressive stance. I have seen a few reviews that state that the trunk is small for a car this big and that my be true by the numbers but I think it is big enough and have had no issues with cargo space. The drive train is fantastic and while it won't win any drag races, the 3.6 V-6 paired with the 9 speed transmission is very capable of moving this car quickly from a stop and feels quite powerful on the highway when passing. We live in an area that gets snow and the AWD system work REALLY well. Finally, the expected long-term reliability rating on this car is stellar. It scored way better than even the Toyota Avalon which we considered. Buick has discontinued the Lacrosse but if you are in the market for a great, reliable used sedan, check out the 2017 thru 2019 models. Just skip the hybrid and stick with the V-6 and look for an Avenir AWD if you live where it snows.
