  The LaCrosse is top-notch - 2005 Buick LaCrosse
  By Christopher Z. - March 3 - 5:30 am

  I used to drive a Cadillac and missed the "big car" ride when it got old and I had to trade it. I was looking for a less-expensive alternative to a Caddy, but I still wanted the ride and features of a luxury car. Buick has done it! This car has even more features than my Cadillac with that "floaty" big car ride. It gets better mileage and I didnt have to sacrifice much interior room. The insurance rates are much lower and the car is very modern-looking, strikingly beautiful in my opnion.

  Fun to drive - 2005 Buick LaCrosse
  By John Bryson - January 31 - 4:30 am

  The Buick LaCrosse is a fun vehicle to drive. The interior is not as fun however. The cloth seats are not very comfortable. It took a few tries to keep from hitting the brake when trying to press the accelerator. It came with a minor defect in the drivers side windshield wiper, but was quickly replaced by the dealer.

  Totally mediocre - 2005 Buick LaCrosse
  By totally mediocre - January 27 - 2:00 pm

  I purchased this car used with 22,000 miles. Initially, I was very impressed with the design of the exterior and the interior materials. However, with time I have been mildly disappointed. No major complaints, just room for improvement. Like every other review, I am also disappointed with the fuel economy. Also, the 3.8 liter engine is not nearly as quiet or refined as other reviews suggest. The seats are unsupportive and stiff, although the leather is of very good quality. Have had an ongoing problem with the airbag light coming on for no apparent reason. Finally, the trunk lid has no handle to pull it up. Sounds minor but is very inconvenient.

  Not dissapointed - 2005 Buick LaCrosse
  By AmJohn - January 26 - 8:25 pm

  Bought this car a year ago and have been very happy overall. Trunk space holds our stroller, a pack and play and still has room for a few bags of groceries. The sound system is very good. Very quiet and comfortable ride, good gas mileage. Only complaint is the intermediary joint is needing serviced or replaced, but other than that I would have no problem buying another one.

  We like it! - 2005 Buick LaCrosse
  By L and V Leonard - October 22 - 2:20 pm

  Having done a lot of homework, looking for a new car, we settled on the Buick LaCrosse. We have taken two road trips in it thus far and are extremely happy with the car. The LaCrosse takes Buick out of the "AARP bracket," although thats not a bad place to be!

  Buick Lacrosse - 2005 Buick LaCrosse
  By Tyler - September 21 - 5:33 am

  Switching from a Regal GS to this vehicle was like night and day. The car is incredibly smooth and has great handling. The seats are very comfortable, much more than the Regals which got uncomfortable after long trips. The one thing that stands out the most to me is the quietness of the car. I just wish they would have given the car a little bit more power but I can never have enough power.

  First Year Flaws - 2005 Buick LaCrosse
  By GM Brat - August 20 - 7:04 pm

  I have now owned this Buick for 3+ years and have put 75k miles on her. She is still very docile, quiet and well mannered, just what you would expect from a Buick.

  Better than expected - 2005 Buick LaCrosse
  By Rodger B - July 13 - 4:15 pm

  This is our first Buick. We had a 2001 Aurora before this. We have driven this car about 38000 miles now. Car is very quiet and handles great. Ride is very smooth. City gas mileage is 19-20 mpg, highway is 30-32 mpg. Like everyone else these days, I would like more mpg but this is better than most cars of this size. Have not needed any repairs except a battery replacement which is normal in southern Arizona. Im disapointed that there is no tire pressure monitor system on this car, Buick sure missed the boat there. This was corrected in 2006. I do wish this car had a memory system for the seat and mirror settings. Over all, my wife and I both love this car.

  American style and quality - 2005 Buick LaCrosse
  By AMERICAN - April 19 - 9:43 am

  The Buick LaCrosse is a great driving car. No other vehicle can match the quality and feel of the vehicle for the price. Its the most quiet car I have ever had. Im 35 and think its a car with style and its American.

  Best car I have ever driven - 2005 Buick LaCrosse
  By Melvin Law - April 17 - 7:27 pm

  I would be afraid to buy a well maintained Buick like this even if its 12 years old.
