2005 Buick LaCrosse consumer reviews

I currently still drive my 2005 Buick Lacrosse CXL. I currently have 145,000 miles on it. Car is mechanically sound given the high mileage I've put on it. The only major downfalls are the ABS wheel speed sensors and HUB assembly as well as the engine coolant leaks at the intake...which I will be doing next. I've replaced the front and rear HUB assembly. I do all the repairs on my car as well as break jobs. Over all I must say this car is very dependable. Remember to get the transmission fluid changed and flushed twice as often when you have high mileage. Remember to put your car in neutral when at stop lights as this will greatly lengthen the life of your transmission...especially with this car.

Car has alot of miles on it and it is still reliable to for my husband to drive back and forth to the DFW area.

This car is great and only did normal things to fix it. 262000 miles and still going. It has been a great car wish I could buy another one.

When your parents - you want a rubber car for your children. So they can bounce off of cars, trees, etc, This was the second-best car... Large car with all the creature comforts in an upper end auto.

A smooth riding highway cruiser. 3800 engine is reliable, but watch out for transmission issues. Poor city mileage, but excellent highway mileage. Annoying interior controls.

This is a large luxury vehicle. Very comfortable. Lots of room. Great for a large family. Has some wear and tear but good value for the price.

I have had the car for 14 years, bought new. The cons, it could use a little more pep going up hills. The anti lock breaks failed on one side at low mileage and I have had a couple leaks in the engine. Water gets through the onstar antenna and into the car in hard rains. The trunk goes down hard so you have to be careful. Also one of the windows won't work. The plus is there is no road noise, no rust, great paint job, nice comfortable ride. Gas mileage is just ok. I have a little over 83,000 miles on the car and must say it's been dependable .

Buick is one of the most dependable cars on the market. They're very hard to find in the junkyards because nobody has problems with them. You never see them on the side of the highway either. Tells you alot!

I purchased a used 2015 Hyundai Sonata Sport with a lot of options and under 15k miles. I'm a big guy, 6'3" and big-boned, with two younger children that require car seats. There is still some room behind me with the seat backed up all of the way. The features and smart key are a nice touch. I am used to a V-6 AWD vehicle, so it has taken some time getting used to the slower acceleration in normal or ECO mode. In Sport mode, the acceleration is good. I really like the looks of this car. It just stinks you have to go to the Sport or Limited model to get dark interiors, but I'll deal with it.

My 2005 Buick Lacrosse is the best car for "Land Cruising" possible. When in school for 6 yrs obtaining my professional Doctor of Physical Therapy Degree. I often traveled back and forth from Long Island to Maine. This car served me very well. It was matriculasly maintained with oil changes every 3K miles and it never burnt oil in its 86K life span.
