"This 2012 buick Lacrosse e-assist is a sporty, sleek comfortable ride that really brings the US market into the game. My car came with the premium 1 pkg. which had just about everything except 2 items. 1. Push button start w/fob and heated steering wheel/rear shade. Premium 2 pkg is not avail. with e-assist vehicle. This car also has auto stop/start which shuts down the engine to conserve gas at stops. The restart is almost un-noticed. It works fine except if the a/c is off eco mode and in full swing. Kind of fun to play with. Pick-up is good, as is passing . This car has Lexis like comfort with all the goodies and looks quite sharp as well. The bluetooth can be used to sync your smart phone and download your contact list, a plus. Navigation can be downloaded from mapquest manually or by onstar rep. Also, cool. I love this car.... My only improvements, would be to 1. Have the memory seat tab work with one push, rather than continuous pressure and 2. to have a telescoping steering wheel. Otherwise,it is a really well balanced eco/luxury, full size car. I have just filled up the tank for the first time, as it came filled(also a nice touch) ,so I will have to repost a comment later to give an idea on MPG. First fill, which is not informational, was 20mpg city. Listed for 25MPG CITY and 37Highway.My purpose in buying this car was that I wanted a Luxury, full size car that was very economical. So far, 2 for 3, with the third waiting to be seen. Some really good lease options through ally bank. 24mo. w/onstar,maint and xm for 2yrs included. HAve fun with this one. The nicest GM car I have every owned"

"I purchased a 2012 Buick Lacrosse w/eAssist about 2 weeks ago. I've owned Buicks for years. I hadn't planned on spending this much $$$'s, but I'm so glad I did. The looks are superb, the ride is really smooth and quiet, and the fuel mileage is as excellent for a full-sized sedan. The white diamond tricoat paint is definitely an eye catcher. Road test and go out and git one!"

"I definitly made a big mistake with the LaCrosse. It is a horrible car altogether. GM vehicles have not been good for me at all. I am very unimpressed with Buick and GM as a whole. My next car will definiltly be a Ford for sure."

"HAVING TRADED MY 2011 JAGUAR XF FOR THE LACROSSE I AM PLEASED AT MY CHOICE AND WONDER WHY I OPTED FOR THE JAG. THE LACROSSE IS AS COMFORTABLE, HAS BETTER STYLING, EASIER USE OF NAVIGATION SYSTEM AND OTHER FEATURES, FOR MANY PARTS BETTER QUALITY PARTS SUCH AS THE FRONT GRILL - THE JAG HAS A CHEAP PIECE OF FLIMSY PLASTIC - THE BUICK IS MUCH STURDIER AND SOLID. I HAVE ALSO OWNED MERCEDES E550 WITH ALL THE TOYS...THE BUICK HAS ALL THAT THE MERC OFFERED AT $25 - $30k CHEAPER. EXCELLENT VALUE FOR MONEY. PEOPLE STOP BUYING CARS FOR THE NAME (AS I DID) AND GO FOR VALUE. THE BUICK LACROSSE TOURING OFFERS THAT VALUE"

"Hearing about all the renaissance happening at American auto makers, I decided to give it a shot. After 19 years, picked up my first American built car - the Buick Lacrosse with Premium 2 package. From the day it was picked up exactly one week ago, the XM radio never worked. Kept displaying an error message to check antenna. The plastic near the break pedal came loose and got entangled in my feet while driving. Had to pull over urgently and put a weight against it to hold it. But the worst thing happened today. On my way to work, stopped at a light. All of a sudden the driver display screen flashes a message"Reduced engine power" and "Service Stabilitrack". Before I try to figure out what its about the car just dies. No engine running, no power steering, no nothing. Just like that it dies one week after being picked up with only 400 miles on it. After about 10 minutes, I try to start it. It comes up briefly stll flashing the same errors and I barely move it to the side of the road. Called the Buick/GM dealer who towed it away. Really wanted to like this car and support the American auto makers. I can't. Even after it is fixed, I am afraid I won't feel secure driving this thing around. Can't wait to get rid of it. Lesson learned - STAY AWAY from GM or American cars."

"What can I say, I have owned this car for 2 yrs. I had a Cadillac before, but it never drove like this car. The comfort is unbelievable. It's sporty, beautiful and has everything a Cadillac has in it. I have a sun roof and my son has the video on his seat. I can listen to music while he is watching a movie. It's a quiet car too. My husband even loves it. HOpefully they will come out with a two door sports model. For now, I love this car. I drive in town for the most part and on the Highway, watch out, it has speed to it. I feel very safe too."

"Leased a blue with cream leather v6, loaded 2012. Has everything a Cadillac has at a lower price, maybe better quality. Luxury interior, drives great, but doesn't have any big power under the passing gears, and the exterior style is still so so. Could use more room in the back seat. Not many cars compare with the overall package, and I would have gotten a 300 L or S hands down except I get GM A plan. Oh and the lincoln MKX was cheap interior, cheap trunk space while the $60k Hyundai on paper seems the same as these cars but has chinese made parts everywhere, and is a car of $20k with a lot of added chrome. That's my two cents on the mid lux market. Get a lacrosse, 300 at $32k or CTS if you can afford $40k."

"Aside from less than stellar gas mileage (the 303HP V6 basically gets what an SUV gets 17/27) this luxury car is super beautiful, besting any preconceived notions you might have. My wife and I just love it. If on your next road trip you want to take your high-tech leather-covered living room with you, then this car is perfect :)"

"What a surprise. Wanted to Give GM a try but the 2011 Regal got me to showroom but it was the 2012 Lacrosse that made the sell. Comfort, style, materials, quite, ride, handing. I have had suv/cross overs and sport handling cars wanted comfort, size but with good road control but dont want to feel or hear the road. Lacrosse is it for the price point all bells whistles . have 3k mileage and no complaints. I am 6'4 and great size. Ambient lighting at night is really beautiful. The quality and finish is the best I have seen on a GM product. All you need is a good product. I guess it take some years before most consumers will rediscover Buick"

"The 2012 Buick LaCrosse Touring is by far the best car I have ever owned. The ride is smooth and extremely quiet. The technology and engineering that went into this car are the very best. The V6 is responsive with plenty of power. The only drawback is the MPG. Currently I am getting almost 21 miles per gallon with almost all city driving. Would like more MPG given today's gas prices, but luxury has a price. Hope GM would consider the E-Assist technology on the V6 engine. That would put this car totally over the top. Heads up display and blind side zone alert are wonderful features you do not normally see on a car in this price range. Fit and finish are top notch. If you desire a car with a real quality feel, elegant ride, loaded with features and want to look good while driving, the 2012 Buick LaCrosse Touring is the right car for you. I am looking forward to many enjoyable miles with my new Buick."
