  First ever Buick - 2005 Buick LaCrosse
  By Norman Kairns - September 12 - 6:28 am

  Been a GM person most of my driving life, and this is the first Buick Ive owned. Nice car. Clean finish and very comfortable to drive. However, the car could use a little more head room in all seating positions.

  Still Mixed Feelings - 2005 Buick LaCrosse
  By Scott - July 25 - 4:07 am

  I have owned my LaCrosse CXS for a year now and like it but have a few issues. My wife really likes it and drives it daily. Fuel mileage is less then expected. With mostly town driving we get 19mpg. Power is great. Transmission is not a smooth as others in this class. Truck is difficult to open. Two issues - drivers side window rattles at high speed and CD player rattles when hit bumpy roads. I like the car but Buick needs to work out some details in design and quality.

  Not toohappy - 2005 Buick LaCrosse
  By Donna - June 23 - 6:06 pm

  I previously owned a Buick Century and was very upset when I found out they stopped making them. I bought the LaCrosse because I was told it was the replacement for the Century. I have not been impressed. I do like the car, but only at this point because it is a new car, and who does not like a new car. I had very good luck with the Century as far as engine problems went. I was told that the LaCross has a new engine design and I am quite sceptical about that. It does not seem to have the power that the Century had. I have very slow acceleration when I am running my air, and the air conditioning is no where near the performance that the Century had.I am not happy about that. I am disappointed

  Have owned this car for one year and Ilove it. Would like it better if it got a little better gas mileage but I do like the new engine. Would also like mine to have the new 4 year warranty.

  Im a 45 year old Buick owner - 2005 Buick LaCrosse
  By Joe S. - June 6 - 11:29 pm

  I have had this car for 2 months. Purchased w/15K miles on it. CXL model rides very smooth on the highway. More comfortable than my Saturn L. This car is rated 20/29 mpg but I cannot understand why I only average about 14 mpg in city driving. Highway mpg is great..lives up to its 30 mpg. Steering is a little balky. You can feel it roll and dip on sharp turns. All and all this a comfortable sedan. Looks a little like the Lexus LS330 until you look at the grille. The grille and layout of the front is the thing only way you know it is a Buick. Also, for some reason, every time I turn on the air vents the AC is on. I think if the in city gas mileage was better I would enjoy this car more.

  I wish I bought a foreign car - 2005 Buick LaCrosse
  By kevo - June 2 - 1:02 pm

  I used to be really pleased with this car. Then I hit 1200 miles. That is when it first started squeaking. The dash was first, then the steering column. The seats are a little too firm for my tastes beyond about 45 minutes. The gas mileage after 12,500 miles is 17 mpg 50/50 city/highway, very poor in my opinion. The paint seems very soft because I have several chips in places one would not normally expect a chip, like the rear bumper, the rear decklid and high on the hood.

  Gas Poor - 2005 Buick LaCrosse
  By Gary - May 17 - 5:04 pm

  Have had for 1 year and 9,500 miles. Just minor irritances i.e. squeak in dash, wind noise. Car handles well on curves and accelerates without hestitation. (and wife) dont like consoles so are trading car in new Buick Lucerne with split front seats for eatra room and longer arm rest.

  Smooth, quiet ride, plenty of power, mileage good on highway, but could be better around town.

  Great Car - 2005 Buick LaCrosse
  By CALLEN - April 6 - 1:05 pm

  I have owned the car around one year. No problems at all. The car looks great and people always think that it is a much more expensive car than it is. I really like the front and rear styling, as well as the comfortable interior.I went from an import to this car and this car is wonderful!

  My First Buick - 2005 Buick LaCrosse
  By joe kuroski - March 22 - 5:19 pm

  I was waiting for Buick to come up with an all new car, to replace their dated 80s style line up. I was very pleased with the pleasent design, inside and out. I have the CXS model,v-6, It goes like the wind. I have experenced 2 recalls and the heater fan module breaking. But all and all the quality is impressive, and the quietness inside the cabin is wonderful.
