My old Century had a softer ride and seats - 2005 Buick LaCrosse
By Mike - July 16 - 2:30 amI really shopped and already have an 04 buick century.. The LaCrosse is only slightly quieter, mainly the engine, but tire noise is there. Also the seats are not as comfortable as the Century and the ride seems stiffer... Power in the LaCrosse is smoother and more responsive, and fully loaded on vacation to Florida we got 28 MPG. If the Century is replaced, then the LaCrosse may take its place, but ride quality and seats are an area for improvement...

2005 LaCrosse - 2005 Buick LaCrosse
By CXL 4dr Sedan (3.8L - July 15 - 10:57 pmThe car is very good on the road. It has a very quiet interior, and you dont hear road noises. I believe the gas consumption is about 18 to 20 miles in the city, and on the road it is 25 to 27 miles to the gallon.

Solid car - 2005 Buick LaCrosse
By Carolyn - July 10 - 9:26 amIt has a nice exterior look, and it doesnt look like every other car in the parking lot. It has a very comfortable ride and take bumps well. As a person who has driven smaller cars in the past, it was easy to get used to.

LaCrosse vs Ford 500 - 2005 Buick LaCrosse
By John Beach - July 9 - 2:53 pmThis car reminds me of the Olds Aurora in design. The quaility of workmanship is fantastic.Its very comfortable to drive, with effortless steering and smooth acceleration. Great radio sound. We made a wise choice with the LaCrosse over the Ford 500, which is under powered.

Buick LaCrosse - 2005 Buick LaCrosse
By RoccoM - July 7 - 4:11 pmThe steering takes a little getting used to after driving for many years with power steering. The panel lighting is great, and the automatic lights on/off function is welcomed. I like the safety feature of the daytime running lights. A year of free OnStar is enough to get me to pay for it when it comes up for renewal even though it is rather expensive. Fuel economy could be better as could the rear seat room which is very tight especially in terms of head room. All in all a very good card with a great appearance (especially in cardinal red metallic).

Smooth and powerful - 2005 Buick LaCrosse
By rwisem - July 1 - 12:56 pmThis is the best Buick I have driven. The build quality is world class and the ride and handling are the best yet for a GM mid-size.

My Buick La Crosse - 2005 Buick LaCrosse
By Jennifer McGinn - June 29 - 12:39 pmI am enjoying driving this car - the fourth Buick I have had and it is far superior to the 3 Regals I had before. Road quietness, comfort and ease of operation are just some of its outstanding qualities.

LaCrosse is a great value - 2005 Buick LaCrosse
By Jeff - June 24 - 1:35 pmThe Buick LaCrosse is a tremendous value in the mid-size near luxury segment. It offers elegant styling, fantastic interior comfort and an extremely quiet ride. The engine and drive train are perfectly adequate for commuter and highway driving. The cockpit is sensibly designed with all controls easily accessable. Climate controls, radio, and speed controls are on the steering wheel. The guages are easily readable. I particularly like the LED panel for the information center located in the middle of the speedometer. Very easy to read and use. The materials used in the interior are first rate, very near Cadillac quality. Very nice car..Congats Buick!

Poor Handling - 2005 Buick LaCrosse
By milford jensen - June 24 - 12:58 amI find this car has poor handling on the highway at speed limits. It wanders from left to right and I have to correct the direction all the time to keep it on the road.It will not stay on center or netural position. It is very hard to enjoy driving this car. I also feel that it is not a safe car and could cause a accident. This car has had the alignment checked twice and set to specs.The dealer says they are all like this and cant do anything about.If you are considering buying one of these make sure you drive it on the main highway at speed limits and check to see if it tracks without wandering.

Excellent - 2005 Buick LaCrosse
By Lane - June 22 - 12:01 amThe ride is superb. Still has the Buick ride but quiet with a much needed style upgrade. Definitely a step up.
