  LaCrosse CXS mileage - 2005 Buick LaCrosse
  By sscott1 - November 13 - 8:46 pm

  Ive had my Lacrosse for about six months now. It is quieter than my 99 Regal was and the ride is smoother. The interior comfort is about the same. My major complaint is gas mileage. It is getting 19.6 average for combined city and highway driving (about 50/50). My 99 Regal with the SC3800 engine got 22-23 mpg. Same driver, same route, different car. Ive seen comments about the performance of the 3.6L engine in the CXS, but my experience is performance is nothing to get excited about. Its better than the 3.8L, but a long way from my 99 Regal GSE.

  2005 LaCrosse CXL - 2005 Buick LaCrosse
  By freeh - November 13 - 8:13 pm

  Nice car. Good ride and handling. Excellent on the highway. Only drawbacks are fairly poor mileage in town and somewhat tight rear seat. Much better car than my previous Buick, a Regal.

  Bad Choice - 2005 Buick LaCrosse
  By Big Ed - November 8 - 11:36 pm

  Never owned a Buick before and after reviewing other cars in this class,I thought this was a good choice. Initially I liked this car very much. I noticed the problem on the first trip of about 150 miles. At highway speeds of 50-65 MPH and trying to maintain a safe distance from the car in front of me. The accelerator pedal seems to have a dead zone. It doesnt respond under normal foot pressure to maintain the speed that traffic flow allowes. As I apply a slight pressure on the gas pedal, nothing happens. As I increase the pressure, a sudden burst of acceleration is felt with the teck jumping 500-750RPM. This unusual condition is very strenuous on long trips of this constant awareness.

  Exterior design - 2005 Buick LaCrosse
  By M Beacom - November 8 - 9:33 am

  I found that the outside mirror on the driver side is in the way of seeing to turn left especially in driveways, etc. There is a reflection in these mirrors of the chrome on the dash making a streak reflection in the mirror. The tilt lever is hard to locate at times and gets frustrating. Make sure you put locks on the wheels because mine got stolen. I also added an additional alarm system because there is no motion sensor on the factory alarm. Other then these few problems, it is a wonderful car to drive. Not as smooth riding as the LeSabre but it is sporty and that may be the reason for not having the smooth soft comfort ride. I do recomend this car and hope to get good service.

  Looking for luxury - 2005 Buick LaCrosse
  By marty ambrosecchia - October 30 - 10:10 pm

  If you are looking for luxury at a low price this is your car. Car has avery soft ride and is roomy inside. Soft leather seats, good sound system, and it gives you a big car feel. The only drawback is the 3.8 V6 engine.could use more power, although some people might like it that way.

  Rear floor design - 2005 Buick LaCrosse
  By Rosalie - October 15 - 2:26 am

  The rear floor has a very bad curve near the rear door below the rear seat. I had a passenger catch his foot on the lower part of the curved floor as he tried to exit the auto. He triped and fell head first to the ground. He was aware that the floor is a step down, but did not notice the curve near the rear seat. The floor that the seat is resting on should be straight, not curved. This could be very dangereous. Not to mention a law suit if someone is really hurt. I am not sure if GM would fix this problem on MY auto?

  Classy, sporty, and luxurious - 2005 Buick LaCrosse
  By Carl Kushner - October 10 - 5:39 pm

  I was shopping for a midsize that gave a lot for your money. The Lacrosse is that. With the gold convenience package, it came with a whole group of luxury features. With the GM employee pricing this car couldnt compete with others including the imports for bang for the buck!

  I should have bought another LeSabre - 2005 Buick LaCrosse
  By DOGONSOFA - October 4 - 9:29 am

  I have bucket seats and the plastic that wraps around the seat at the bottom is in the wrong place for a short person. Actually it is too thick. If you put your leg next to it, it hurts. So I have to remember to keep my leg stretched out. I am talking on the driver’s side, on the left. It is a great car for a young person.

  05 Buick Lacross - 2005 Buick LaCrosse
  By Ron - September 26 - 1:53 pm

  Overall ride and comfort has been very good. Whisper quiet, comfortable on long trips, firm suportive seats. I purchased the bucket seats as the bench seat has a dumb looking fold out center console. Controls well placed. Car had a brake pulsation caused from warped brake rotors. Car was fixed but when I picked the car up in a rainstorm found passenger side flooded with water. Had to bring car back twice to have leak fixed. Was not a happy person! That was unacceptable to me as build quality should have been better. Overall since that time all has been good with no other issues. Hope it stays that way. The interior (Tan) is what I bought needs to be darker to show less dirt. Good value overall.

  Riding with a GM product - 2005 Buick LaCrosse
  By Ray Horn - September 25 - 8:29 am

  There were several models of Buick that I had been interested in, the LaCrosse caught my eye. The car was not too big, nor too small, the fact that the rear seats fold down for more room was impressive. I am a gadget person, this car has just about everthing, yet it is safe and secure, there is less road noise due to the insulation and efforts by GM to keep the noise level down. Of course one of the pleasing items is the gas mileage, it is good! All in all, I enjoy the vehicle and its workmanship.
