Best car I ever Owned - 2005 Buick LaCrosse
By RIC0069 - August 28 - 8:00 pmUnfortunately with the recent hurricanes in Florida, I lost my prized Mercedes 430 CLK Cabriolet. Upon doing research, and checking out all the new bodies this year I decided to try a Buick... The ride and drive of this vehicle is far superior to that of the lexus and BMW that I tried, and the price was fantastic. If this is what Buick is now about then KUDOS to GM, you finally have a winner.

My First Buick - 2005 Buick LaCrosse
By Chuck - April 11 - 9:33 amIve had my black/black CXS just over two weeks and am mostly happy. The car has just about all of the options. It offers a very smooth ride, and a very quiet interior. Unfortunately, the airbag light is now going on and off, so its back to the dealer (already) for service.

Tried foreign definitely back with U. S. - 2005 Buick LaCrosse
By Horkee - February 4 - 10:10 amFirst, I dont believe in 10s. I compared the car to the 300 Chrysler Limited, 300 series BMW, and 330 Lexus. We drove all of them including the Acura TL (snakey handling in the wet when pushed). All are nice cars. but for the money this was the winner ahead of the Chrysler. The Lexus is O. K. but its a dog, requires premium fuel, and doesnt handle that well. The interior is nice, but uses an egg shell finish on everything to hide the flaws. Its really expensive for what you get...or dont get. We traded an ex v-6 Honda and my wife is the one who will drive it most. She liked the performance over the looks of the Chrysler and I agree.

Not another Buick - 2005 Buick LaCrosse
By Grandpapaul - October 9 - 5:37 amMy wife wanted a Lacrosse and bought this car 3 years ago with 28K on it. Three months later she bought a Honda Accord and couldnt sell this piece of junk. I had a recall on my Grand Prix and got an email from Buick suggesting I consider a Buick for my next purchase. I replied that I I have an 05 Lacrosse and it junk. After a year of back and forth emails they quit responding. 1. Climate control utilizes air conditioning 100% of the time. I turn it off every time I start it to save gas but it as it comes back on when restarted. 2. Replaced hood struts. 3. Replaced rear window regulator which is rarely used. 4. Drivers mirror quit working. 5. Head lights dont turn off until driving in daylight for an hour. 6. Outside temp takes a couple of miles before going to correct temp. 7. On occasion the engine runs rough. Shut it off and restart and its fine. 8. Dash cracked four times in the first year and looks like varicose veins. 9. Wipers quit so I replace the motor. Poor design as the entire mechanism must come out. 10. When there are riders in the back I can hear the wheel bearings grind. Lots of road noise so I believe most of them need replaced. 11. Rear suspension squeaks. 12. Piece of plastic broke in power seat mechanism. Six ways power seat is now four way. All these problems in the first two years of ownership. I drive it on occasion and now has 49K. Putting miles on my 01 Grand Prix then will put an estimated $1500 in it when I retire. I am not the type to pass on junk to others so will keep it since it is paid off. IF I EVER BUY ANOTHER CAR, IT WONT BE A "BUICK". Bring back Pontiac Grand Prixs! I do like the 3.8L engine. Not sure why they changed. It shifts sooner and RPMs are lower that my older Grand Prix for better gas mileage.

LaCrosse CX - 2005 Buick LaCrosse
By alydar - April 17 - 7:06 pmi havent had this car long but the most impressive thing is the quiet tuning. The lack of road noise and solid feel of my CX have made my work commute very relaxing.

Buick Scores a Hat Trick - 2005 Buick LaCrosse
By GW Cooper - April 7 - 7:53 pmLaCrosse (Allure in Canada)is an endless delight. Beautiful, well proportioned exterior and sumptuous interior with excellent ergonomics combine to create a refined driving experience. Form, fit and finish are well integrated to create a unity of purpose that is first class. Powertrain performance is superior and seemless. Flat torque curve, smart safety features, agile suspension system together instill confidence in treating the CXS as a true sports sedan. Quiet tuning and a superb sound system combine to offer distortion-free sound studio quality and listening pleasure be it jazz (Diana Kroll), classics ( Vivaldis Four Seasons with Perleman), folk-rock (the Eagles, Beatles, Pink Floyd.
