2014 Buick Lacrosse - LOVE IT!
I absolutely love my Buick. It was made in Kansas City (where we live) so in purchasing it, I've made a direct impact on my local community. It gets great gas mileage, is fully loaded with every option a driver could ask for and has a stylish exterior design.

2014 Buick lacrosse is great.
The one problem I have with this car is the microphone is too sensitive so it is static when I talk through Bluetooth. The ride is very smooth, 20 miles to the gallon, all wheel drive, great in the snow and very roomy. Sound system is great as well. Side safety warning when cars are near is a great feature. Bought it used from dealer with 15,000 miles on it. I now have 70,000. Wouldn't trade it for anything.

It is a comfortable car to drive, I love the backup video.
It has a nice smooth ride. My husband who has a long torso, has lots of headroom. I like the look of the car!

It drives so quietly and smooth. I just love it.
This is my favorite of all of my cars I have ever owned. It drives so smoothly and runs quietly. I have hardly had any problems at all, minor at best and it has 105,000 miles now. It has been a very reliable vehicle. If and when I decide to buy a new car, I believe I will buy another Buick lacrosse.

It is a good comfortable ride.
I like the ride of my Lacrosse. It handles very nicely and is comfortable. It has run well and trouble free. It has features, such as the backup camera, that make driving easier. The only thing I would like to change is that the seat has to be adjusted every time it is driven.

A tricked out Buick lacrosse is a dream car for normal people!
Very comfortable ride. Quiet, smooth, has great features. Good GPS system. Comfortable heating and ac. Heated and cooled seat. Great flat drive tires. A good color. It looks beautiful. I like the speedometer showing on the window. I especially like the fact that the car slows down itself when it gets too close to the car in front.

Worst car ever! Do not get.
Honestly it likes to overheat alot and just not want to start half the time. It's really not a good car to have. Paint also chips off easily. Be ready to take it to the shop at least every week or so. Please save the money and get something else! Very crappy car!! The dealership itself has some rude people also.

Vehicle looks good would recommend.
The car is dependable and smooth ride. Especially the suspension. You will have minor repairs over time some may be a little costly. For families the leg room and cabin size is great. I had a few issues with brakes and possible transmission slipping. Other than those issues the car had been a reliable daily driver.

Sweet, reliable, cute ride for a classy lady.
The car is comfortable and compact. It has all the necessary commodities that I need to make my driving experience enjoyable. I haven't had too many problems but the sensors have been quite annoying as it seems there is one for every single thing. Overall, it is a good car for now.

Buick review. Car is clean. All features work. Great on highway.
Has a smooth ride. All features work. I do like the letter interior. The heater works great and the air also works great. The engine is quite. No problems. The color I do not like but I am having it changed. Room enough for five passengers. Four door. On the highway it get great gas mileage. This car would be great for a small family.

It gets good gas mileage. The car hands well and the cost of maintenance is low.
I made the mistake of purchasing 2 wheel drive. It handles terribly in the snow. I Love the handling and the looks. Interior is beautiful but I need a all wheel drive cars.

Great car with lots of features- only bad part is the blind spots!
This vehicle is an all around great car. I have never had any major problems with it and just have to get the oil changed. The best parts of this car are the touch screen, the overall look, and the gas mileage. The worst parts would be the large blind spots that can sometimes be very dangerous if I am not paying close enough attention at the intersection or if I do not always do a double stop. Another thing I wish this car had was a rear windshield wiper because when it is raining or snowing it can be difficult to see out of it. The car definitely has a lot of room in it. The back seats have lots of leg space even when the front two seats are backed all the way up. The drivers chair is able to move front, back, up, down, and has a lumbar forward or back option. The drivers chair also is able to be programmed to remember two different seat positions which is nice if there's two people driving the vehicle. I love that every time I step out of the car that seat also moves fully back and when I get back into the car and start it back up it moves forward again. This is very helpful for me because I am a taller person so I never struggle to get in or out of the car. The trunk is very spacious and if I ever need even more room I am able to fully put down the back seats. This is great for when I am hauling my skis or snowboard. Overall this has been my favorite car I have ever owned and all the small features really just makes it that much better. I hope to be able to own it for a very long time.

Smoothest ride I have driven.
The car is one of the best cars I have driven yet. If you are looking for a smooth ride that rides like a Cadillac then this is your car. The only annoying issue I have is the car not remembering my seat profile. The car gets great gas mileage for a large sedan.

Pros from Owners

likeFilled Daniel T.

It has been really reliable. I had an issue a few years ago with the computer system, but that must have been something that was wired incorrectly. Since then, it has been very reliable. It gets decent gas mileage.

likeFilled John T.

The gas mileage is only average and my car is especially noisy. However, I like the style and the extra large trunk area. It has been maintenance free and has most of the latest auto technology features found on new cars.

likeFilled Kyle R.

Heated seats. Leather seats. AM FM radio. CD player. 2 Center console cup holders. Interior blue mood lighting. Power windows. Battery power to reduce gasoline costs. Black netting in trunk to secure small items.

likeFilled Karen M.

It is made well and offers more features for the price. Style is updated. Buick has a good reputation. It is more of a luxury car at a better price. Car rides smoother than similar cars of other makes. Convenient options are also better.

likeFilled Bob A.

It is high in comfort and I love driving it. Secondly, it has enough space for me. Lastly, I love the design of the interior and exterior. The Buick lacrosse has many pros and I look forward to driving it everyday.

likeFilled Kelsey S.

It is luxury. It has a leather interior with wood paneling. The sunroof is large and it has features such as Bluetooth and hands free calling. It has a backup camera and is a push to start also. This vehicle is everything that anyone could ask for.

Cons from Owners

dislikeFilled Daniel T.

The entertainment system is ok, but I think they missed out on some opportunities. It has Pandora, but it is missing some chances to have made it much better. I think I bought it one model year too soon.

dislikeFilled John T.

As I have already mentioned, it it's only average gas mileage and has a lot of road noise. The initial cost is rather high for an automobile and unfortunately GM has decided to discontinue this model from production.

dislikeFilled Kyle R.

Front window collects condensation. 4 Cylinder does not accelerate as fast as larger motors. Not much head space in back seat. No rear window wiper. Overall the Buick Lacrosse is a great model for groups of 4 or less people, but no more than 4.

dislikeFilled Karen M.

Will need to update soon to get value from a car. There are not many cons for me. I do not like that the seat moves back every time I open the door and I have to push the seat setting button every time I get in to drive the car. I would like more convenient display of the miles, oil, etc. But I think that is improved on newer models.

dislikeFilled Bob A.

I do not like how you have to pay extra for certain features. Overall, I like almost everything about this car and I would not change any of it. This car is perfect for everyone no matter the size of your family.

dislikeFilled Kelsey S.

There are not any cons to the vehicle that would make it a bad purchase. Sometimes I find that the touch screen display can be a bit confusing and sometimes it does not pick up on my music when I want it to but those are all minor concerns. That is really the only complaints I have about this vehicle.
