2017 Buick LaCrosse Quick Drive | Consumer Reports
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
Buick looks to attract newer, and possibly younger, buyers with the LaCrosse. The flagship sedan enjoys new outward styling and a quiet ride. However, advanced safety gear is not available on all trim levels.

I purchased a fully loaded 2017 Lacrosse with the premium trim level and couldn't be happier. I absolutely love the way it rides and handles, especially with the sport setting on. It has so many options I'm having a blast learning them all. It is by far the quietest, best riding, and best driving car I have ever owned. It handles like a dream on any road I’ve throw at it, has plenty of power, gets excellent gas mileage and is super comfortable on long trips. And I think it is the most stylish car on the market, not gaudy but sophisticated in its looks and styling. I tested a number of competitive models from Lexus, Kia, Hyundai, Nissan, Acura, BMW and Lincoln and they just didn't compare to this car on features for the price and in many other ways. Anyone wanting a luxurious, quiet, great handling car, with plenty of power may want to take a look at the Lacrosse!

Bill A. We have a 2016 Envision 2.0T and it is so damn smooth and quiet!
I feel like CS knocks everything GM made. If this had a Toyota badge it would receive nothing but praise.

I recently bought a used 2012 Lacrosse in mint condition. Never thought about the brand but the price was too good to pass on. Buick just went to the top of my list! I love this car!
Can't take CR seriously when all they do is nitpick details such as the shifter. On to the next review.

I agree. The reason that reverse is a dogleg is so that people don't accidently put the car into reverse. And all you do is push up and to the left. Is that really so difficult?
Taurus is AWD too, it's just in dire need of a refresh.
The proportions and design remind me of the Volvo S90
The Avenir was gorgeous, this is a lot less so. Considering CR's glowing review of the Impala, this doesn't even seem to be as good as the Impala, which is disappointing.
looks great!
Love it.
You're wrong, the Lincoln MKZ also offers AWD, and is the direct competitor to the LaCrosse.
Weird; I had this dream that in the future Miley Cyrus reviews cars for Consumer Reports...
You didn't seem to have any problem with the shifter, Michelle!!!! Use it a couple of times and it is not a big deal people!!
This car looks good, but I can never understand why not make one for sale identical to the smoking hot concept car! That 2 door version?

I think they all end up in Jay Leno's garage. They show what it can look like if they would just do it but they de-bling for production. Makes absolutely no sense but they keep doing it.
I wouldn't call the Impala is "competitor"
Also, the Ford Taurus has an AWD option as well.
Wow stylish glasses
nice.
i'd like to test drive a used base model with 18" wheels. no harsh ride for me.
I gotta find her glasses for my wife super cute!
If I were to bet, this probably uses the same powertrain on the upcoming 2017 Buick Enclave. The old powertrain was decent, probably this one is too.
I understand people can get used to that BMW, like shifter but if you have more than one car in the household switching cars back-and-forth is going to be Mayham
I love these cars, I smell conspiracy on all sedans in the US.
So where do you leave the maxima as competitor?

hybrid model. much better fuel economy.
What we need is a true American sedans that is at least 225 inches long with a 7 liter engine made with plenty of chrome wood and leather all we have now these cars that all look the same driving around with no chrome and black wheels that look like someone stole their hubcaps
In 2000 they were better u could wreck it and it was still drive able cause they weren't made of light steel
"Picking up or dropping off?"
Front wheel drive would be enough for me, cause the all wheel drive adds 250 - 300 more pounds

+ssr1680 Agreed, as AWD is also more than likely why the LeCrosse's ride quality over bumps was considered harsh in the review.
@jeffdunham9981

It is the optional 20" wheels on their test vehicle that transmit harshness - not the AWD. The standard wheels are 18". You can order the vehicle with "magnetic ride" and more traditional 18" wheels - this is true for both FWD and AWD. This is the "hot ticket" for me - more quiet supple ride with state of the art "ride control".
looks like they ripped the shifter straight out of a BMW...

I saw a video by the chief engineer on la crosse for reasons behind going to this new shifter. Part of the reason was to free up space on the console - which CR notes; But there is another reason. By going away from a mechanical shifter - it no longer has a cable running through the firewall - no hole through firewall and no cable to transmit vibration into the cabin.
Taurus offers AWD

The Taurus is a pretty horrible car. It's gigantic, very heavy, has only 6 gears, is thirsty, and has a tiny back seat. It's just old.
Not really impressed by new ones there all made so light if u wreck them ur lucky to make it the old cars are way better I'd never buy new
Looks like a Mercedes
