Best car I have ever owned.

Best car I have ever owned. Bought it used in 2020 with 19k on it. I now have 54k on it. This car has not had one problem. I have averaged 26.8 mpg over the last 35,000 miles and I can get 35 to 38 mpg on highway trips. This is from a 310 HP V-6 that will scream when you need it. Impressive. These new Turbo 4 cylinders can't touch the smoothness, the power or the efficiency of this engine. At 50mph if you step on the throttle it puts your back against the seat and sprints to 100 mph in a blink. I have forgotten to shut off the engine a couple times as I was leaving the car. The thing is whisper quiet when idling or at 80 mph. 8 years old and still tight all around. This is truly an amazing car.

Just bought this car under 2 months ago, with 40,000

Just bought this car under 2 months ago, with 40,000 miles on it. Traded in a 2014 Chevy Impala. It has many more safety and comfort features than the Chevy...still learning how to use them all! Very pleased overall so far.

I have had my Buick Lacrosse Premium 2 car since March

I have had my Buick Lacrosse Premium 2 car since March 2017 It is a great car. the only problem I have had was the first week I owned it. since then I have driven close to 99,000 miles and no issues after the warranty ran out. I did have a power window motor go out but it was fixed under warranty. I average 30.3 MPG driving 9,350 miles during a 2.50 month trip out west last fall. The car was perfect. The new michelin tiers did great. Too bad Buick opted for some really ugly cars for 2025. The enclave has a 2.5 and its gas mileage and power are horrible. It looks like they made it ugly and less streamlined than before. The hood is horrible. I was a Buick owner of 4 cars. Now because they had terrible designers. I have to move on. If you cannot tell, I love the old 6 cylinder. I at 25mpg on the road and loved its power when needed. I was a great looking SUV back in 2011.

Excellent and Great Comfort

Bought this 2017 Buick LaCrosse Essence used with 50,000 miles on it back in April 2023. Excellent car. Comfortable and great gas mileage. As comfortable as my last Lexus Es350. Too bad they don’t make these Sedans any more. Grab one while you still can.

It's been a dream

Bought my pre-owned Lacrosse Signature 2 1/2 years ago. I've been a Buick lover for 30+ years. Last car was 2005 Century that I had for 14 years. Bought my Lacrosse sight unseen of CarGurus and it's been a dream. Can't imagine getting rid of it!

Excellent Car

Bought mine new in August 2017. I bought the LaCrosse Premium. It's now Junie 2022, so I'm coming up on 5 years in about 2 months. So far I have had absolutely no problems. Have never had to take it in for anything, so it's been 100 percent trouble free. Just normal oil changes. Acceleration has always been good, 0-60 in about 5.7 seconds. To me, anything under 6 seconds is just fine. My average overall gas mileage has been 27 miles per gallon, and I usually get about 36 miles per gallon on trips. On flat terrain, it can be closer to 40 mpg. I now have over 70,000 miles on it, and it still feels just as quick as the day I bought it. It's comfortable, very quiet and has been 100 percent reliable. I traded in a 2016 Honda Accord Touring V6 when I bought this. Acceleration is just about even with the Honda, but the Buick is much more quiet and comfortable than the Honda Accord was. I would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending a Buick LaCrosse to anyone looking for an incredibly reliable and comfortable car.
