Very economical for the features

Body styling, interior comfort, jam-packed features make this a good buy in a time at which SUVs are taking over the market. I was an Enclave owner and hope to go back to it someday but the Buick Lacrosse is a nice change of pace.

The best vehicle I have owned

I owned a 2010 full load Buick LaCrosse and enjoyed it so much ,I purchased a 2018 Buick LaCrosse AWD with all the bells and whistles . This car is light years more advanced than my 2010 and the best vehicle I have owned.

Great car, could not be happier

We purchased this car 3 weeks ago and could not be happier with it. We bought the Avenir trim level which is the "Denali" version from Buick. Wow what a car. Comfort is out of this world and the backseat will cradle you to sleep. But as soon as you push the accelerator, you won't be a sleep anymore. 310hp comes to life and away you go. It is amazing to be traveling down the highway at 80mph and see the tach at only 1700rpm. That's a 9 speed transmission at work. The interior is beautiful and when the guy in the parking lot sees it, stops and says now that is one fine looking car, I agree.

Nice test drive - seats & visibility for us not so

Test driving cars as seniors looking for that perfect last comfort luxury type car - wife found seats a little uncomfortabe in our 2 hour test drive and tho seat went up well for her when she turned her head to look out window for entering highway it caused her head to hit top of window and above. dealership said she should have just used mirrors - that is not always the safest way as that only helps with one lane. Wife likes steering wheel that goes up - not just telescoping out and wheel didn't go up quite as high as she likes.

Buick AWD

Just purchased it few days ago and just love driving this car. Test drove ES 350 and Genesis and they are not even close in comfort to this vehicle. If you owned Cadillacs or Buicks in the past you will love this car.

jerky at low speeds

It has a mind of its own. As you lift off the gas to coast to a stop, it decides to slow down more than expected (transmission?), in an inconsistent way and when you apply the breaks, it speeds up for a fraction of a second before decelerating and coming to a stop. Then the ending stops, which shakes the car, then 15 second later, as the battery voltage drops, the engine starts again, which shakes the car again. So it jerky and uncomfortable at low speeds.

Smooth and quiet ride. Great styling and options,

Very classy car with beautiful curb appeal. I love the colours of the interior and paint I ordered. Great gas mileage with E-Assist. This car meets my expectations and I hope to own it for many years. I really enjoy having for the first time leather seats and Climate Control in my car. I highly recommend my Lacrosse to everyone to buy.

Inconvenient to drive

First, the automatic stop is a pain and can be dangerous if have to move quickly; does not need an eight speed transmission -- does little to save gas and gives a jerky ride as it tries to shift. Others: back seat warning cannot be shut off even though there is a setting for that; heat/air does not work as well as my 2005 Park Avenue!
