  • A Joy to Drive - 2005 Buick LaCrosse
    By -

    We have about 2000 miles on this new car. So far we are pleased with it. On the highway we are getting in perfect conditions around 30 mpg. In town around 19/20 mpg. 1st new car where we havent had to go to the dealership for an adjustment for this or that. Completely happy with it thus far. Like the driver "screen" which tells you EVERYTHING! (MPG, Miles traveled on a trip, how many miles are left before next recommended oil change, etc) :)

    I love the ride and how quiet this car is in comparison to larger wheel-base cars I have owned in the past.Tight finish. Solid feel Easy handling.

    I love my LaCrosse. At this point, I would consider another one when my lease is up. Dont change the exterior design. It is beautiful. Would like car designers to take into consideration minor interior changes for the next model year that would add more comfort for a shorter person (52). The LaCrosse is geared more to taller people. See comments below. I love the smooth acceleration and the quiet cabin.

    Numerous things you took for granted on other cars, arent there. For example folding side mirrors. In the garage they used to come in handy. Wipers very poor. Nowhere to hold to close downsized trunk. Last 7 cars were Buicks, but not next time!

  • Great Car - 2005 Buick LaCrosse
    By -

    I have had my La Crosse for about two months and have driven it almost 5,000 miles. It handles beautifully and has the quietest ride of any vehicle I have owned in the last 30 years. I have had no need for warranty work at all. I am very pleased with this automobile.

  • LaCrosse is Very Good - 2005 Buick LaCrosse
    By -

    Negatives are few and mostly unimportant: engine is noisy on outside of car outside mirrors cannot collapse seatbacks recline by lever instead of power no tire pressure indicators (bad oversight) Overall mpg with a 75/25 city/hwy ratio is only 17 mpg (EPA rating is 20- 29). Thats it! Car is very quiet, has excellent buttoned-down ride, excellent driveability, very good acceleration, esp. at highway speeds and is a pleasure to drive. Fit and finish are excellent, and we like the styling and the interior layout - its clean. In short, we are very pleased with the 2005 Buick LaCrosse.

  • I like the car - 2005 Buick LaCrosse

    The auto rides very smooth and quiet. It is very comfortable to sit in and drive. I do not like the insert for ignition key. It is hidden. It has plenty of room for all to sit in.

  • LaCrosse - quiet ride - 2005 Buick LaCrosse
    By -

    The Buick LaCrosse has a very good feel for the road without making you think youre in a tight suspension sports car. The quiet ride is the most impressive of any car I have ever driven. You simply cannot hear other cars going by. The hands-off phone system lets you make phone calls by speaking rather than holding a cell phone to your ear. Compared to similar models from other companies, the LaCrosse is a bargain in the mid 20 thousand dollar range. Drive it before you buy a Honda, Toyota, Nissan or Acura.

  • Not anything like my Regals! - 2005 Buick LaCrosse
    By -

    Missing many of the standards on past Buicks. They have cut corners on everything. Will consider Japanese car next purchase.

  • Incredible bargain in a used car - 2005 Buick LaCrosse
    By -

    The 3.8 v6 engine is bulletproof. Not sporty handling, but smooth and comfortable!
