  Great on long or short trips. - 2006 Buick LaCrosse
  By nkusigep - May 20 - 10:42 am

  It rolls a bit through turns and across lanes during lane changes but its suspension is a little looser which is great for bad roads. It has tons of head and leg room for big and tall people and the seats are very comfortable. Amenities are on-par for the class. Its much more stylish compared to Buicks of the past and you can tell their trying to capture the attention of younger generations, not just the 55+ crowd (no offense). I do mostly highway driving and combined mileage is about 24 mpg - not great but not terrible for a V6. Acceleration is good.

  I love my Buick - 2006 Buick LaCrosse
  By Paul - July 13 - 9:21 pm

  This is one of the best cars I have ever owned. The quality is really good compared with my previous conception of the "American" car. My car has a 3800 Pontiac Engine they tell me. It gets around 30 mpg on the road if I stay at 70 mph. If I go 80 on the turnpike it doesnt seem to hurt mileage that much. The car has more than enough power for passing. If I want to leave a pesty driver in my dust I can do so with ease.

  Bad Gas Milage and Poor Pick up - 2006 Buick LaCrosse
  By barbara Kocanda - June 26 - 11:04 pm

  I was told by the dealership that this car gets at least 22 miles to gallon, but after driving it for 3 months I have come to find out that I only get 16 to 18 miles to a gallon. What a disappointment. Plus, this car has zero pick up. I will probably trade this car in as soon as possible.

  Comforable and quiet ride - 2006 Buick LaCrosse
  By MarkZ - February 8 - 11:07 pm

  Have drive car 54000 mile with no problems. Very advanced handling and braking system. A pleasure to drive long distance in the front seat rear is a little tight for adults for more than couple of hours. Could have made rear seats and leg room more accommodating. take front the long front end of car or add couple inches to vehicle, Wish I had bought the lacerne. Love the heated seats in colder climates and cool mornings. Would like heated front window orwipers snow and ice collect under windshield wipers. Previous cars Buick Park Ave,Toyota Previa,GMC savannah. Gas mileage could be better(24MPG)200HP traded for power. High performance tires noticeable improvement in ride and handling.

  Happy with LaCrosse - 2006 Buick LaCrosse
  By B. Beekman - October 31 - 6:21 pm

  I just bought my 2006 LaCrosse about two weeks ago and am very satisfied with it. Its quiet, comfortable, smooth riding and obviously of good quality. The AM/FM/CD player has a nice tone with plenty of space for CD storage. The door locking key-fob is easy to use. Seats are attractive and cloth-covered and very comfortable on long drives.+

  Buick Junk - 2006 Buick LaCrosse
  By j wells - October 30 - 10:04 am

  My Buick Lacrosse has been a mechanical nightmare. I have had defective parts replaced consistently since I purchased it Thank heavens it was still under warranty. However, now all the seals in the rack and pinion steering need replaced at a cost to me of $900.00 This car is 3 years old!!!! I drove a ford Taurus for 175,000 miles with major repairs coming after 100,000 miles. I am fed up with this car, plan to replace it anything but a Buick. Oh, I also have water sloshing from one side to the other in my engine. I have a repeat complaint about this, to no avail. I am really a dissatisfied customer.

  Ho Hum, just another excellent Buick. - 2006 Buick LaCrosse
  By Gordon Byers - June 18 - 10:39 am

  This LaCrosse is the 3rd Buick Ive owned, a 82 Riviera and an 89 Regal previously. They were both excellent performers giving me almost 100,000 miles each of trouble free driving. The LaCrosse has the comfort of the Riv and the economy of the Regal with plenty of power. When I step on it to pass, there is no hesitation.

  Very Good Car - 2006 Buick LaCrosse
  By Joe - April 12 - 3:20 pm

  Have had Buick Regals before with virtually no problems and expect the same with the LaCross. It rides very nicely, good mileage, the 3800 runs like a top as they all do, and its MADE IN AMERICA!

  I Love This Car! - 2006 Buick LaCrosse
  By SBurlJeff - April 2 - 7:14 am

  I have had this car for 3 months now. I wanted something affordable with a little bit of luxury thrown in too. What I got was a whole lot of luxury in a very smart package. From the leather seating and trim to the audio controls on the steering wheel to the smooth, almost inaudible engine this car is so much more than I expected. I fall in love with this car every time I get behind the wheel. My insurance dropped considerably too. I cant believe that not everyone drives a Buick.

  Buick is a beauty too. - 2006 Buick LaCrosse
  By lacrosse buick 2006 - July 9 - 3:40 pm

  My parents had a yellow 1958 Buick Super. A lot of chrome a beautiful car. The car is just as good today as it was in 1958 in the LaCrosse. Not many LaCrosses on the road. Maybe, more now, when they read this. Good mileage, comfort, I dont smoke, no ashtrays keeps people from smoking in the car. Great Idea.
