Pros

Great ride,handles great

Cons

poor gas miliage

Purchased As New

We have had the car now for 7 months,no problems,great ride,handles wonderful,transmition is smooth.
I am unhappy with the visibleity,a lot of blind spots.Also we bought the 4 cylinder for gas miliage "wrong". It has a lot of get up and go I can run with the big boys,but I only get 17 to 18 miles per gallon in the city. It is a very good looking vehicle,Buick improved in that department....read morehide

This is fully loaded and love it. the Harman/kardon stereo system bumps all the hip hop/ rap songs i love. the parking assist helps with reversing, ground illumination is great, Memory settings for driver's seat and exterior mirrors is awesome especially when the seat moves automatically when the door opens, Xenon High-intensity head lights are great plus they move when you turn the wheels, Side Blind Zone Alert helps alot, the HUB(Head-Up Display) is a great feature, i never have to look down to see how fast im going / its right there on your windshield, Leather and woodgrain heated steering wheel is ballin, heated and VENTILATED front seats / no more swamp ass..., duel climate control, Power rear sunshade is pimpin, with the E-Z Key passive entry system with keyless start i never have to pull out my keys, the car knows me lock and unlock and start without my keys is laziness, ilove it, rims, over sized sunroof, navigation, 40gb harddrive, cd/dvd, i got everything except the rear seat entertainment bcuz i dont want my kid watching tv too much and plus theyll always want it on when driveling.

this is my dream, im 25 years old, this is my 1st car i bought and im not disappointed. i spent 11 months deciding on a car(bmw, Mercedes bends, audi, cadillac and chrysler) . quote after quote and review after review. 11 months later bought a brand new 2011 buick la crosse, and im not disappointed and its quick

down sides: -
MPG is low, note: this is a 2011, ive read the 2012s have better MPG
-some blinds spots, sometimes i cant see, its good to have the rearview camera and the blind side alert, and a bigger convex rearview mirror(helps the most)
-the transmission is really rough, shifting up or down (test drive yull see)
-slow response to the gas pedal

test drive it and buy it,...read morehide

Cons

Gas Mileage Poor In City Driving

Purchased As New

I must say Buick has come along way with this vehicle since the days of growing up in GM vehicle family household. I purchased one as a gift to my wife coming from a tour overseas in the military in March 2011. I was and am still very impressed at how the Buick LaCrosse performs on the road....a very comforttable ride The vehicle is good on gas mileage if on the highway but not good in stop and go traffic so plan your trips wisely. But overall, this vehicle has put some new faith in American automotives....keep up the good work GM!...read morehide

Pros

Great Comfort and Excellent Leg Room

Purchased As New

I am Disabled through my Lower Spine so Leg Room means a lot to me. I went back to the Dealer where I had purchased a 2011 Impala 9 months ago. I looked at the Lacrosse got in moved the seat back and was amazed and 8 way Power Passenger Seat where I sit.
I had the car less than 2 weeks and getting compliments from strangers on the street. I could not bring myself around to go with a 4 Cyl so have the 6 Cyl that has more than enough Power. Could not walk away and to boot the Dealer made it right with my trade of the 2011 Impala. I've own a lot of cars and this is nothing like "Your Fathers Buick" this Car the Lacrosse has it all....read morehide

Pros

Great handling, comfort and appearance

Cons

Speed auto control and visibility

Purchased As New

This car is the most comfortable we've owned in ages and we love the lines, look and easy handlng. Also, the back up and side sensors are great features. Compared to past cars there are more blind spots to account for while driving but using mirrors frequently is good driving technique in any car. The speed control isn't very user friendly and the control is easily hit while driving and you suddenly find your speed decreasing....read morehide

Pros

Great ride and it is unbelieveable quiet on the highway. good mileage

Cons

They need to improve the visibility of the rear window.

Purchased As New

I purchased the new 2010 Buick LaCrosse new I love the way it rides and the quietness of the car on the highway. I had a Chevy Impala and I thought that my impala was quiet but it doesn't compare to the Buick. My wife and I took a trip a week after we purchased the LaCrosse and I averaged 28.8 MPG driving both city and highway. We love the back up camera and the navigation system. The navigation system eliminated the arguments on where to turn....read morehide
