  • LaCrosse is luxury and comfort - 2005 Buick LaCrosse

    Great for safety, has highest rating Insurance only went up $3.00 due to this. The car has double steel doors and double windshield glass. The engine slides under the dash on impact.

    This car has been fun, comfortable, and easy to learn how to drive. The seats are great. We drove to Florida and back with no discomfort at all. It handled the road like a charm. We got between 29 and 33 miles per gallon. I just love it.

  • Best Bang for Our Bucks - 2005 Buick LaCrosse
    By -

    After owning several GM cars, including a 99 Regal LS, the CXS is all I hoped it would be. Worth the money, especially as we compared it to more expensive vehicles. Drove from upstate NY to Florida one week after purchase, and loved the smooth ride, acceleration, quiet, handling, roominess, trunk space, and what a great 6 CD Concept III sound system! The exterior style and finish (Glacier Blue) are terrific. Leather seats w/ heater provided comfort even for the one 12 hour driving day. Temp system is big improvement over Regal. Safety, reliability and great style big plusses. We looked at other competitors (Mercury Montego, Saab, Honda) and know the CXS has them all beat.

  • Best Buick since the Park Avenue - 2005 Buick LaCrosse

    I really enjoyed driving this new Buick. It is really quiet and very responsive. I like it better than the Park Avenue I traded in.

  • LaCrosse has comfort, bells & whistles! - 2005 Buick LaCrosse
    By -

    Ive owned my Buick LaCrosse for nearly one week and have never before experienced such comfort and safety in a 4 dr. sedan. The heated leather seats are great in cold weather and I love having On-star "just in case" of an emergency. The 3.8 liter engine has great pickup on the highway and gives you a quiet, comfortable, and smooth ride, even over snow crusted roads. This vehicle is superbly engineered and has too many features to mention here. I just love my new LaCrosse, and would recommend it to anyone with a small family or a businessman who travels frequently. This vehicle would stand up to any Mercedes or BMW as far as Im concerned, and its American made!

    Roomy,quiet smooth ride. Hugs the road, and handles better then my BMW. Costs much less then BMW.

  • Wonderful Car - 2005 Buick LaCrosse
    By -

    This car is a dream to drive. The CXS model combines refinement and power to a top-notch level. Critiques on only having a 4-speed transmission, lack of an automatic seat lever, and a navigation option seem annoyingly demeaning to a superbly manufactured automobile.

    This car is sleek rides well and very comfortable. The 3.6 v6 engine is powerful and has great throttle response. The sport suspension corrects the old stodgy buick handling.

    I purchased this vehicle last November and drove it from New York to Florida for the holidays. This vehicle is comfortable, quiet and I got around 26 miles to the gallon. Thats pretty good for a brand new vehicle.

    We just recently purchased the LaCrosse. less than 1,000 miles on it at this point, but so far we are pleased. It seems to be quieter than our 2000 Regal. Steering and braking is more responsive. The beige interior could be too light and harder to keep clean. This is the first new car that we purchased where we didnt immediately have to have something adjusted or taken care of at the dealership. Quality control seems to be good on this one.
