A New Kind of Buick - 2005 Buick LaCrosse
By BadgerBuick - August 11 - 11:46 pmAn outstanding vehicle in performance, quality and styling. The CSX model is a Buick that should appeal to all kinds of drivers. Young people that drove mine loved it and wished that they could have one. Buick has to change the focus of its advertising, stressing the performance and styling of the LaCrosse. It looks a lot better than the Honda, Nissan and Toyota "luxury" clones. These all look alike, exterior and interior. There seems to be more of a difference between owner and "expert" evaluations for the LaCrosse than for most other cars. Owners love it, "experts" rate it so-so. The experts must have an image of the "average age of 65" Buick owner embedded in their mind.

Car of the Year - 2005 Buick LaCrosse
By John Henry Doakes - August 11 - 11:07 pmIm disappointed in mileage, in town and on the road. Car has not loosened up yet, but hope it will do better than 16 mph.

Our Allure CX - 2005 Buick LaCrosse
By N. Popovic - August 10 - 4:43 pmGreat value, design and style, evolution and improvement comparing to earlier Buicks. Being 37, I found this one much more appealing to younger drivers but still with the famous smooth ride and Buick quality and reliability. Superb ride and build quality, style, quietness and handling, car has enough power with good old 3.8L engine and expected fuel economy and better brakes and suspension. Long story short - really great car!

Ds review - 2005 Buick LaCrosse
By Donn - August 8 - 2:56 pmI love this new car. The only item with a problem was a brake sensor recall. I am not completely satisfied as the brakes still seem to grab and are not as smooth as I would like although they do stop well.

Love My Buick Lacrosse - 2005 Buick LaCrosse
By decor1 - August 3 - 12:43 amSmooth is the best way to describe the LaCrosse. You can keep your SUVs, Im back in a sedan and loving it. Controls are well placed and easy to use (No tiny buttons to try and find). Seating position is comfortable..thanks to a telescoping steering column. And quiet.....so quiet.

Quietest car on the road - 2005 Buick LaCrosse
By Daniel Moore - July 16 - 12:27 pmI took this vehicle for a 2500 mile trip shortly after purchase and in all of my years of driving I dont believe I have ever had a car that performed better and offered such a pleasant non-tiring drive. It is interesting that the editors, who dont regularly drive this car dont rate it as highly as do the owners. I took this vehicle through the Eastern mountains and found it great to handle. The first day on the road, and this car was not really broken in, I got just under 33 MPG.

My old Century had a softer ride and seats - 2005 Buick LaCrosse
By Mike - July 16 - 2:30 amI really shopped and already have an 04 buick century.. The LaCrosse is only slightly quieter, mainly the engine, but tire noise is there. Also the seats are not as comfortable as the Century and the ride seems stiffer... Power in the LaCrosse is smoother and more responsive, and fully loaded on vacation to Florida we got 28 MPG. If the Century is replaced, then the LaCrosse may take its place, but ride quality and seats are an area for improvement...

Solid car - 2005 Buick LaCrosse
By Carolyn - July 10 - 9:26 amIt has a nice exterior look, and it doesnt look like every other car in the parking lot. It has a very comfortable ride and take bumps well. As a person who has driven smaller cars in the past, it was easy to get used to.

LaCrosse vs Ford 500 - 2005 Buick LaCrosse
By John Beach - July 9 - 2:53 pmThis car reminds me of the Olds Aurora in design. The quaility of workmanship is fantastic.Its very comfortable to drive, with effortless steering and smooth acceleration. Great radio sound. We made a wise choice with the LaCrosse over the Ford 500, which is under powered.

Smooth and powerful - 2005 Buick LaCrosse
By rwisem - July 1 - 12:56 pmThis is the best Buick I have driven. The build quality is world class and the ride and handling are the best yet for a GM mid-size.
