Buick LaCrosse Reviews

"The springs [on the suspension] provide a lot of initial compliance and allow you to float over minor imperfections, but once they are slightly compressed, the rubber bump stops come into play to gradually stiffen the suspension."

"The LaCrosse has a rich, high-quality looking interior with attractive woodgrain trim, nicely presented instruments and controls and available leather seats with nice-looking gathered stitching."

"An uncommon option in today's cars, but offered in the LaCrosse, is a full-size front seat."

"Best of all, it meets the stringent Super Ultra Low Emissions Vehicle (SULEV) standard."

"The faux wood that runs across the dash was insultingly unconvincing, with no gloss or depth."

"The 3.8 V6 provides strong takeoffs but lacks strong passing power in the 35-55-mph range. Expect about 8.5-sec [from] 0-60-mph."

"...densely clustered small sound and climate system buttons won't endear the LaCrosse to older drivers accustomed to larger, easier-to-use controls."

"Notable body drumming over coarse pavement."

"The twin headlamps call to mind the Mercedes-Benz E-Class..."

"We don't know that the LaCrosse will compete directly with the Accord and Camry, but it is certainly a worthy competitor for all the American-made competition in the $30,000 sedan class."

"Buick's Quiet Tuning has made the new LaCrosse one of the quietest, most pleasant cars to ride and drive in among the entire class."

"[The CSX 3.6-liter engine] is like motivational speaker Tony Robbins: It makes the LaCrosse feel competitive."

"Quality announces itself early."

"GM product czar Bob Lutz probably won't be fielding any calls from Snoop Dogg trying to 'get that brand-new LaCrosse up outta you,"

"In a high-tech world, this still looks like the old chrome toaster."
