Transmission went out while driving. Towed to shop in Dickinson, Texas on a Friday evening. Called them the next Wed. and was told that they had pulled the transmission. Went there the next day and was told again they had pulled the transmission. Then, was told by someone else that they transmission had not been pulled and would be pulled the next day(Friday - a week after being towed in). Called them(they never call me) and found out that the "wave plate" 3rd & 5th gears were broken. Was told that this has been a problem with many of the GM transmissions. Wish I had known this before buying the 2016 La Crosse. The parts were "back ordered" and I am waiting. Got a "loaner" vehicle(a GMC SUV) which is being driven, but it is a "minimal" vehicle and I would not ever buy one of these. I am VERY DISAPPOIONTED in the quality of the Buick La Crosse and the RELIABILITY of this vehicle.

Excellent Domestic Sedan

I purchased vehicle used (14K) and have driven it 28K during the past three years. At 40K, there have been no maintenance issues whatsoever, and the vehicle drives as smooth as silk, with excellent acceleration, handling, and a very comfortable and quiet ride. Materials are top notch, and many of my neighbors who drive foreign cars have expressed their admiration for the interior and exterior design of my LaCrosse. Safety ratings are in the top 2% of vehicles, which is a primary reason for my purchase. The HUD (Heads Up Display) is exceptionally well designed and keeps my eyes focused on the road and not in the cockpit. Active articulated headlights provide superior visibility along the visual line of site, and the radar for parking and lane change is great for enhancing safety. Cabin is spacious, especially with legroom. Open-through from trunk and fold down rear seats provides great cargo space. Highly recommend the LaCrosse, although the price point of newer models is out of my price range. As a 1-year old used vehicle with low mileage, I walked away with an extraordinary value.

Comfy Sedan

Great basic sedan. Fuel economy is good. Lack of USB and electrical outlets is the only distraction from a well designed interior.

Wear sunglasses

My son bought this car for my wife as a gift. Car looks great from outside and interior styling is beautiful BUT Front view, the two forward posts create a very bad blind spot that makes it difficult to see sides in front of you while turning. While Edmunds complains about the rear visibility, how can they not touch on the forward turning visibility. Next, I'm small stature 5'5 with all the seat adjustments I still cant get a comfortable seat position, as my knees are always too high. If this seat pivoted forward by a couple of degrees then perhaps it would help. No such problem ever on my Jap cars. Next. The audio and temp controls. These buttons are small , so fat finger OH OH is common and getting used to them will take a long while. Also the chrome bezel around the unit glares into your eyes and need to wear sunglasses especially when the sun is in the ten o'clock position. Finally put black electrical tape over it. Lastly. muffler exhausts under bumper not through it. This creates brown discolorations that needs to be cleaned weekly. It would behoove Buick to make their engineers drive Japanese cars for a while since their human factor knowledge seems to be lacking.

Very satisfied, but with a few reservations

The 2013 Lacrosse is a clean, quiet and comfortable ride with which I'm generally quite pleased. Agree with the Edmunds review about the relatively small truck space and limited rear visibility, but the latter arises from having to fit the rear-view camera into the design. And speaking of design, be advised that there is virtually no place to store anything, and the storage spaces that do exist are undersized. Just a poor piece of human engineering. I've actually had to buy a Rubbermaid front seat organizer, which is absurd. Also absurd is the hump in the middle of the back-seat floor, which serves no useful mechanical purpose; why is it there?

LaCross 2013 Excellent car.

I bought this car in Jan this year. Pros include handling, the 3.6 performs very well, awd seems to work as it should, I average about 22 mpg with a best of 27mpg on a trip. Cons, trunk is tiny, brakes do not like weather, I had to accelerate hard in reverse to get brakes to release, since then the Buick dealer did perform a brake service that they are supposed to charge the customer $120.00 for free. However, this did not help. This car is embarrassing to drive with the brakes squealing almost continually. I did contact Buick and they pushed it back on the dealer, they obviously feel that safety is something that the owner should pay for! The dealer told me that they have had other Lacrosse's towed because of this issue. This will be the last GM vehicle I buy because of the lack of response to this serious issue. My kid is learning to drive and is scared of this car. Fortunately for her I also bought an Accord that she loves to drive!

acceleration noise

I had a 2010 which I traded for the 2013 Buick Lacrosse. The 2013 has a noise when you accelerate and slow down. The dealer and factor say there is nothing than do about it.

First V6 I've owned- Leather Group FWD V6 with Sunroof and Chrome Plated wheels

Trading in my '12 Avalanche for the LaCrosse was a tough choice I made 2 weeks ago. So far I have no regrets. Living around Chicago, gas prices are hovering around $4.50/gal for reg grade. I needed to trade the V8 gas guzzler for something more reasonable and this was my choice. I've considered the 300, but went with Buick due to Chrysler's past power train issues and overall value with Buick. The car handles well, ride quality is okay and acceleration is acceptable. That's saying a lot considering I've only owned V8's leading up to this. I drive with confidence on the highway and can easily accelerate to pass slower vehicles.

This is my new Jaguar!

We have owned 5 Jaguars in the last 13 years. Our last one was the worst car we have ever owned so we made sure we checked out the new car we were replacing the Jag with carefully. This car rides and handles just as good as the Jag XF (a tad slower when you punch it) but the interior is roomier and the electronics actually work! So far this has been a real surprise and very reliable.

buick lacrosse offers great value

I bought a 2013 Lacrosse in August and have been very pleased. It came with the E-Assist, 4 cylinder and usually get 20 to 21 miles per gallon in town and 38 to 40 miles per gallon on the road. It has plenty of power and the hybrid gives you a boost in horsepower when needed. I am 6 ft 3 and have plenty of room in the front and also as a passenger in the back seat. The automobile is very quite and solidly built. I bought the model with leather interior, heads up display, heated seats, and the warning system on the mirrors that let you know if a car is in your "blind spot". This is a quality automobile and Buick has done an excellent job. Would definitely buy this automobile again.

Better than my 530i

We bought our 2013 Buick LaCrosse Touring about three weeks ago and have put about a thousand miles on it. Engine is crazy smooth. Transmission is slick. Interior is just perfect. The car is super quiet. The ride is supple, although I'm really enjoying sport mode, which instantly stiffens the ride. Electronics are going to take a while to master, for sure, but the Harmon Kardon sound system is incredible. Don't forget to set Surround Sound. Back seat is second to none. Trunk space is decent and the fold down seats have already come in handy. Our color is Summit White. Gotta get it special order, but worth the wait. Heated steering wheel is cool and the HUD is a nice feature.

Poor gas mileage

My first Buick. I ordered it and the gas is horrible. I called dealership and was told after inspection my Buick gets 14 miles to the gallon. This is because I do not drive the car fast enough....[non-permissible content removed]!!!! I love everything about this car but the gas... I can't wait to get it. Back to a Toyota Camry I go....

Brand New, Love it Already

I traded in a 2008 BMW 528i on this model and thus far love it. The interior fit and finish is every bit equal to the bmw, and it is more comfortable and quiet on the highway than the bmw was even new. I was able to get it equipped exactly the way i wanted to, with the driver confidence package, entertainment and navigation package. It helps that I'll be able to get it service locally, rather than driving an hour to a bmw dealer. The look of the car is awesome and i hope that i'll have luck with it. While the rear visibility isn't great, the blind spot monitor is very good and the V6 has terrific passing power. My friend, who is 6'2, was able to sit comfortably in the back. Awesome car
