Positive Owner Reviews

Emily N

Comfort and luxury with extra perks.

The car has a lot of extra features I really enjoy and makes me feel like I am really in a luxury vehicle. I enjoy the sunroof and the ac/heated seats. They car seat of the car has a lot of room for my kids car seats. The front seat feels very sturdy but still looks classy.

Erica H

I interesting. Detail is that it is very spacious.

I always need a oil change. I like the vehicle it rides pretty good and smooth. I haven't really had an problems with it. I bought new tires. I got. Tint and everything new on my. Vehicle for a couple thousand so it is not very expensive to. Fix either like many other cars. And even if I cannot get a oil change I go get oil and put it in and it ride exactly the same.

Carol J

Compact, comfortable and easy to handle.

Forgetting to shut the motor off because it runs so quiet. It is easy to handle and comfortable to travel in. I like that you can control the temperature on each side and the heat or cooling system on the seats. Also being able to program the seat for each driver. Having the car alert you when backing up if you are too close to anything.

Valerie V

Shut out the chaos around you with superb noise cancelling.

It is a quiet car that completely shuts out outside sounds. It's back seat is a bit smaller than average but it has a large amount of trunk space and the seats golf down easily.

Tina M

The perks of having the Buick lacrosse sedan.

I do hate that the make and model has 3 Cadillac converters underneath the hood that are almost $400 bucks to replace. And the light texture of color they decided to use on the floorboards of the car also! But the reliability of the car is awesome! Rides very smooth and quiet! I love the remote ignition starter also! That is my favorite I think!

Tracy R

Comfortable, efficient stylish vehicle.

This model is my favorite design. It is very comfortable and provides a smooth ride. The leather interior and ambient lighting make the inside stylish. There is ample leg room in the front and back, which lend to it is comfort. It is also good on gas, has a great sound system and lots of trunk space.

Sarah B

Reliable and efficient Buick lacrosse.

The Buick surprisingly has not given me any issues since I had bought it back in 2014. I got the car as new condition and if you take good care of the vehicle I believe it will last. The mileage is okay but it is the best option for traveling. Still a good car.

Rosemary S

It's a good reliable car.

I love my Buick. Very few problems with vehicle. Take the car for check-up when due. I find that check=up program very good for car performance.

Negative Owner Reviews

Thomas L

Nice ride, too many flaws.

It weaves all over the road and dealer says that normal for Buick lacrosse models, live with it. Performance is great, handle great in town, highway driving is another story, reliability is great-(it starts in any weather condition), there's a problem with resetting the e-brake after installing new brake pads, the dealer had my car two weeks trying to reset the e-brake with no results and I still had to pay $1100.00 to get my unfixed car back, on the front wheels there's a plastic sensor for stability that has to be replaced every winter because of a bad because of manufacture flaw. So bottom line, if you like to spend a lot of money and keep spending money, buy a Buick lacrosse,

Kim S

Good car, poor visibility.

It is a dependable car. I have not had many issues at all with it. The ride is comfortable enough. I like how it looks. The complaint I have is visibility. I have trouble seeing when I have to back up. Four way stops are always trouble because the car to my right is always behind the trim.

Kandyce C

It is nice car that handles well. It has power and has decent gas mileage.

The car handles nicely. I do not like the way the windshield is curved because it makes it hard to see the on the sides. I love the fact that it has heated seats. The car sits a little low to the ground so some people may have trouble getting in and out.

Tracey T

I love the room the car has.

I have had to replace the converter on my car two years later the converter went bad again and there was no warranty! Right after that I have had to have major transmission work done which was very costly. Right now my ignition is going out I start my car with the auto starter because this.

Michael K

Reliable Buick lacrosse 2010.

No problems at all. Runs as smooth a gravy sandwich. Good gas mileage about 15.9 city Hwy. I can smoke up the front tires no problem even with the small motor. My lawn mower is a little more powerful. Had it for 4 years never did a thing to it. Not as comfortable as my Cadillac but it only cost about 25% of a caddy. Has a remarkable amount of features for a small car. Very happy with it.

Kimberly Y

The pro and cons of my lacrosse.

I love the way the vehicle drives. I like that the car has a lot of power. I do not like that there are so many blind spots in the car and there is no way to open the trunk from inside the car. I wish the door lock button was on the door and not in the middle of the console.

Sheila P

The gas mileage is not great, the tires are expensive.

In this model the phone is on the steering wheel but not available. The tires are size 17 and much to expensive for a small car, I have lots of engine problems.

William Ofca

A dealer who knows how to repair the electronics.

No, because of electronic memory problems the dealer cannot repair after 2 attempts under warranty and a recall. They just downloaded a program that didn't fix the problem. The clock looses 6 hours after setting, navigation looses memory of settings, and the radio doesn't remember the last program it was tuned to.

My Buick review: great car, great gas mileage.

Very reliable and nice vehicle. This car gets great gas mileage. I have had no major issues with this vehicle. I just had to get an alignment after having it for about two years. Very comfortable vehicle to drive long distances. No complaints about this vehicle!

Kyiv G on June 7, 2021

Dependable, tough and reliable.

This car has been a god sent. It accommodates my large family and still has room for our belongings. I feel safe as well, confident that it protects us from the elements and unsafe drivers. Additionally it is dependable and durable enough that in a few years I can give it to my young nephew.

Pros from Owners

Robin G.

This car is comfortable, has a nice interior, a good stereo/radio, good rear defroster that works quickly, has a large trunk, the back seats fold down to extend room in trunk, it has good acceleration when driving, it has a nice console with gear shift located there and also storage in the console.

Malachi G.

It is a very comfortable and reliable car I haven't had very many issues with it and it take a care of me well. It has plenty of space, it also shows the oil life percentage so you know exactly when you need to change it which can save you money in the long run. Car drives smooth in snow as long as your tires are not worn down too much.

Diana L.

The pros are the great mileage options! I fill up my gas tank every week and it last so much. As well as the leather interior. It is luxurious and a dark beautiful color. The seats do not seem to rip or anything.

Cons from Owners

Robin G.

It is expensive to repair. The front defroster takes time to get going, and the heater also takes quite a long time to get going (if you are only in the car for a short trip, it often does not have enough time to warm the interior up before you arrive at your destination. Other than that, I really do not have complaints about this vehicle.

Malachi G.

It does use a lot of gas I have to put at least 30-40 dollars in the tank each week. There's also a problem with this specific model where the launched it without a certain part but if you are buying it from gm they will install the part for free.

Diana L.

The cons are that sometimes the car does break down for no reason. I tried taking it to the mechanic and they couldn't find what was wrong with it either. I turns off mid way while driving and it is extremely dangerous.
