Excellent choice! No regrets, none. I've driven Hondas for 10 years, no turning back. The Lacrosse was suggested by a friend, I've never driven buick. OMG, I love my new Lacrosse. Classy, luxurious, stylish, comfortable, roomy, great features, powerful and great price.

Best Vehicle I've Ever Owned

I own the Buick LaCrosse for three months now. It is the most reliable car I've ever owned, it has absolutely no false in it. Every time someone comes in the vehicle and he have never been inside a Buick LaCrosse before, he says things like "O-M-G Spaceship." or "I just fell in love". The Buick LaCroose is definitely the best vehicle I've ever owned in all its aspects. From the stunning look of the exterior, to the freezing blue and special feeling when you are inside it. Driving the Buick LaCrosse is even better than just sitting inside it. the first "kick" I did with the vehicle felt like I am going to lift up and fly like im in some kind of a private jet. The V6 (3.6) engine lets you feel like a king - like nothing else. I absolutely recommend to add features such as included Sunroof, GPS navigation system, Multimedia system, and the Reverse camera (which is very efficient, I always use it and it really is helpful, especially when you need to see something that's in the "dead era" of the mirrors). The 2011 Buick LaCrosse will let you feel like a king. It is really worth the money, and even more.

Eye catcher

The most stunning thing about this car is how it looks. Very refreshing over anything else out there today. I get looks and rubber-neckers like I am in one of my classic cars. Just love it. Good job GM!

very nice

Everything that Buick says it is - compares favorably to higher-priced competitors (eg ES-350) after 5,000 miles everything fine

An outstanding vehicle.

This car is by-far the best vehicle I have ever owned. Now that I own a 2011 CXS, I will never go back to Lexus or Acura. The competitors just don't match the new Buick nameplate. This vehicles features are phenomenal. The navigation system is simply the easiest to use, just love it. Absolutely love the heated and cooled seats, each level is perfect for whatever mood you happen to be in. The dual seat DVD players are amazing with children, really keeps them busy on long trips. And for me the heated steering-wheel is extremely relaxing! Also the rear sun shade is just perfect. My other favorite feature is the auto oppening trunk,(Yet another great feature with kids!). Overall this car is just amazing. Really do suggest test driving one today!

Feel like a Queen

I went to the Detroit Auto Show intending to try a few cars but I "knew" I was going to buy an SUV. Humoring a friend, I sat in the LaCrosse. The rest is history. The car just captured me. I got just about everything on a lease. I can't get over how peaceful I feel driving it. I feel like a dowager empress. I think it will be the best car I have ever owned and I might end up buying it. It cost about 32000 I think. And the Onstar is really lux. It gains more pep everyday as we get used to each other. I had great luck with my Saturn which went for 263,000 miles following another Saturn at about 221,000. GM I love you!

Love this LaCrosse

Traded a 2010 Honda Crosstour (only had it for 7 months 5500 miles)for this Buick LaCrosse and I am glad I did I love this vehicle. Had issues with the Crosstour and Honda said they were normal well drove the 2011 LaCrosse with AWD and I fell in love. GM thank you. I will also only buy American made from here on out. Great styling, (not your grandpa's Buick anymore) features, seats, just a great car, ok maybe the visibility is not perfect but neither was the Crosstour and that was sooo uncomfortable. Black Metallic and black int. Love it hope it will always love me back. Peats

What A Great Choice!!

When I'm not on my motorcycle, I love being in this car. It's extremely comfortable and very fun to drive. With the addition of window tint and a custom grille on my CXS model, the compliments are never-ending!

Move Over Infiniti - There's A New Car In Town

After driving an Infiniti M35x for about 3 years I was ready for a change. I looked at everything to include Cadillac, Infiniti, Lexus, Lincoln, etc. But I was constantly drawn back to the Buick LaCrosse. The sweeping lines, wrap around dash, responsive driving and available features at a reasonable price made it the best choice in my book. I did splurge on the options which are available in abundance on the CXS model but even with just about every option added the car priced out just above $40K. In comparison the other car lines I was considering were priced between $10K and $15K higher. My favorite options include the onboard navigation (the screen is beautiful), HUD, remote start and rear entertainment package for the 7 year old on long trips. The only negative I can report is that Buick used a few cheaper than I would like plastics parts/materials but they are mostly out of view. I'd highly recommend the LaCrosse to anyone looking for a "mostly" American made vehicle (no vehicle parts are fully made in the same country these days).
