  2005 Buick LaCrosse CXL - 2005 Buick LaCrosse
  By Gary Vandervest - June 21 - 3:56 pm

  The car has good pickup and the engine is smooth. I have to look at the tachometer to make sure the idling engine is running. It is a comfortable car and my last two cars were a 1997 Cadillac and a 2001 Olds Aurora. City driving yields 18-19 mpg...may get better. I have not had it on an extended highway trip but expect to get 30 mpg. Have had no problems the first four months.

  Nice Midsize American Car - 2005 Buick LaCrosse
  By lance phillips - June 21 - 12:14 pm

  The Buick LaCrosse is a nice quite midsize car. It has the power to get up and go when you want. The inside design makes the car feel bigger than it is. I moved into the LaCrosse from the Honda Accord and dont miss it at all.

  We are extremely pleased with our new LaCrosse.The cabin is whisper quiet, handling is precise, body and interior fit is excellent. All controls on the dash are well placed and easy to operate. Buick is going world class!

  Great Value - 2005 Buick LaCrosse
  By cozumel retreat - June 16 - 9:11 am

  Very comfortable and quiet, I bought the CXL and have been very pleased thus far. Fit and finish is excellent. Great price if you get the Smart Buy rebate (dont forget to pay it off asap if you think you are going to exceed the mileage limits), drive out was $20,450 on a sticker of $28,000.

  LaCrosse - 2005 Buick LaCrosse
  By Epr7339 - June 10 - 10:08 am

  I am a 19 year old male. This is the 2nd Buick that I have owned. The car is just alright. I think that the mileage is really bad! I dont find the seats to be good on long trips. The car never shifts right when going down hills. It feels like it is up shifting and down shifting on its own. The dealer told me that they did a software update on it to fix it. The fix works most of the time. If I had to do it all over I would not buy this car. This car is nice in a lot of way but also needs work in a a lot of areas as well.

  Great Car!! - 2005 Buick LaCrosse
  By Great Car!! - June 8 - 4:35 pm

  I traded a 2000 Regal GS for an almost fully equipped CXS Lacrosse. What an improvement in quality, fit and finish. It drives like a German car, not quite as tight as a BMW but that is what I like about American cars, they are like driving your easy chair around! Off the line performance cant compare to the supercharged Regal. The CXS loses roughly 60ft/lbs of torque from the SC 3800. Sometimes I wonder who makes decisions like this. Once going though, acceleration is nice. The sunroof is extremely dissappointing to me. Air noise is high when open and the worst part is the roof glass goes up over the roof. It doesnt tuck inside the roof like most others! That isnt refinement to me!

  Disappointed - 2005 Buick LaCrosse
  By C.Werth - May 30 - 2:10 pm

  Well, it isnt as quiet as the ads proclaim. Tire noise, interior rattles, and a constant buzzing sound from the dash after starting that the dealership cannot fix. I wish I had waited for next years model. Perhaps, the bugs would have been worked out. Im ready to trade it after only 6,000 miles.

  My LaCrosse CXS - 2005 Buick LaCrosse
  By JoeZip - May 28 - 2:56 pm

  I have enjoyed driving this car on several long trips. It is comfortable and doesnt tire me when driving for several hours.

  Informative - 2005 Buick LaCrosse
  By Jim Yount - May 27 - 1:03 pm

  I find it drives well. I truly believe it could use a little more horsepower. The gas mileage doesnt seem to be as good as what I was getting in my 2004 LeSabre in city driving. Highway driving I get close to 26-28 mpg. Would like to see the dimmer mirror on the outside drivers side as it is a good feature. Car is extremely quiet except when moonroof is open.

  Base LaCrosse CX - 2005 Buick LaCrosse
  By Bill T. - May 22 - 3:21 pm

  Great car--quiet, responsive even with base engine, reasonable gas mileage averaging 25 mpg in city/highway driving. Interior treatments give effect of more expensive vehicle. Basic plastic wheel covers needs to be improved since noise is evident when windows open. Headroom is tight, otherwise interior dimensions are more than adequate. Rear end is not in character with Buick. Needs taillight treatment across entire rearend as in recent Centurys, Regals, LeSabres. Right now, the rear looks too much like a Taurus. ABS/Traction Control needs to be standard on a car of this caliber (GM is including it on 2006 models). Recall is in effect but no dealers have parts to make repairs.
