My Buick lacrosse by Dave.
Trusty, reliable and always raring to go. Great looking as well.. This gm vehicle is a stalwart among the many vehicles on the road today. I have always wanted a new Buick and I have had two. Before my Buick lacrosse I owned a brand new Buick regal, and I loved it..

That it is a very safe, dependable car.
Love the great ride and all the bells and whistles. The only 26th ng I do not like is the shift between the seats. Would rather that be storage and the shift on the column.
accountCircle Charles D
I like that my car is reliable.
I like my car because of the brand and reliability. I do not dislike my car, but wish it had a back-up camera and leather.
accountCircle Kayleigh W
It is a white Buick lacrosse. It has sticks all on the back that I put on their.
I have no air but other than that it works perfectly fine. I have had to change the engine once and got the breaks fixed once. It is a great travel car. I have gone to many places in it! I absolutely love it. Nothing beats my Buick. The mirrors work good. The radio is booming always.

I love the style of my car. The features it has are great. Buick is a dependable brand. I hate it wasn't equipped with wi fi.
accountCircle Dale R
Great car to own. Has 138,000 miles and still runs great.
No problems to date. It has been a very good car. Great in the snow and rides very nice. Comfortable on trips and good gas mileage. Maintenance has been only the normal stuff like oil changes and brakes a few light replacements and just keep her clean.

Buick lacrosse is a great car!
Occasionally the intelliscreen is blank, love the heated and cooled seats, the ride is extremely comfortable. It has loads of power in the engine. I love the sunroof and the rear window sun screen. The seats are comfortable and the harmon kardon stereo system sounds great.

accountCircle Whitney M
Heated driver’s seat is nice.
Driver’s side door does not seem to close properly. Fan is very loud when using a/c or heater. Not much acceleration. Heated seat is nice. Trunk is very small. Design of car is very rounded and you cannot set anything down on car to get keys out etc.

Do not like it to big hard to drive.
Not comfortable several blind spots gas hog needs special oil and oil changes are expensive not happy with vehicle.
accountCircle Andrea P
Smooth driving. Great for trips. Long distances, It can take it.
Have to get brake alignments more often, also uses lots of gas. It is a comfortable car to drive, it withstands long road trips. That's a plus! Doesn't overheat. Good quality driving, no noise, pollution coming from the outside. Power steering is clear.
accountCircle Janet B
Very dependable attractive comfortable accurate easy steering great engine very quiet ride
Comfortable but hard to drive cause of posts etc. Blocking vision.
accountCircle Rocky C
Very spacious, smooth drive and good looking vehicle.
My vehicle is partially a hybrid model and has had a few recalls. It is a nice car and I love the look and the way it drives but it has been by far a bigger problem than my previous vehicles. Hopefully Buick has worked out the kinks in the battery but I made a mistake purchasing the first model.

2013 Buick lacrosse likes and dislikes.
Two of the four wheel bearings went before the car was four years old. The trunk is small because of the battery that is housed in it. Love the leather heated seats and the interior. Spacious back seats and a fun loving sunroof. Average on gas mileage.
accountCircle LeAnne C
Buick lacrosse with leather.
I like my vehicle, it is gets good gas mileage and operates great. The interior silver covering on the door handles has worn off without major wear and tear. The trunk is huge, smaller opening to the trunk prevents it from being used to its capacity.

It is a great modern car with plenty of interior space.
I like how durable my car is for travelling. I wish it had better acceleration especially uphill. I like the amount of interior space and smooth engine it has.

Pros from Owners

likeFilled Tyler S.

Great mileage, great interior, very comfortable, it has a digital speedometer which I love and a digital display for both the speedometer and radio. It has great speakers and sound system with easy to connect Bluetooth feature. I also love the seat warmers and leather seats.

likeFilled Theress C.

Love everything about my vehicle but I wish I got better gas mileage. I like the GPS, heated seats, charging connections, the large interior, 5 comfortable seats. Easy to handle and picks up speed quickly when needed. I wish they had a current same model.

likeFilled Cheryl J.

It has a superior suspension wonderful ride with many luxury features such as heated and cooled seats remote start from an app. Also electric seats mirrors moonroof and many more. It is a joy to drive and my family has taken it on many comfortable vacations. The build in navigation system is very helpful getting around the country.

likeFilled Allee L.

It is roomy without being too big. Comfortable and smooth ride. I love the way the layout of the car is, plenty of rooms for drinks, electronics. The sound of the stereo is great and the system is easy to use.

likeFilled Dawn P.

My car is great. I love the way it runs. The exterior is still in great condition no fading or chipped paint. It runs excellently. Could not have picked a better car for myself. It is a wonderful car in excellent buy.

Cons from Owners

dislikeFilled Tyler S.

My car specifically has hail damage but that is not the fault of the dealership. I wish it had a push to start feature. It has over 215 thousand miles and still runs but sometimes needs the tires to be changed out frequently. It does not have a lot of speed so it is hard to accelerate while on the highway.

dislikeFilled Theress C.

Only cons is low mileage per gallon of gas. There are no cons really other than that. Its automatic drive, has cruise control, all the bells and whistles so I can't complain. Like I said. There are no real cons as far as I am concerned.

dislikeFilled Cheryl J.

There are not many cons of this vehicle but the main one would be a smaller trunk than you would expect for such a luxury vehicle. Otherwise I would say there is nothing I do not like about this car. We bought it brand new and we continue to enjoy it.

dislikeFilled Allee L.

There is only one lock/unlock button in the console not one on each door. There is no trunk release button in the vehicle, you have to have the remote on you to be able to open the trunk. The heating/cooling system can be a little confusing to operate at first.

dislikeFilled Dawn P.

I do not have any cons to my car specifically. The only con I have experienced is the battery and that is not the cars fault it is just batteries in general had to get a new battery 3 years ago and then I had to have it replaced this year. Not because the car was causing any issue it's just that batteries do not have the life expectancy they used to have. They are simply made to run down quicker is what I have been told.
