I can't deny that the car is beautiful

Had one as a rental a while back. A silky smooth, quiet, unobtrusive, and gentle road car. If you drive a lot of highway miles, it's a great choice.

I just wanna say, I love the passion and joy you have when "lets take this out on this back road here and see how it does" comes through. I feel like if I had the privledge to drive the cars you do, I would react the same way with a smile on my face everytime too. You are genuine for sure. Good reviews, keep up the good work!

props on showing the key, not enough reviewers do it...sounds silly but I like having a nice key, part of the whole package!

Great review!...Looking at this online and in print it was just "ok" looking...but I saw one in town this weekend and wow!....looks so much better in person...great 0-60 too

classic intro returns! good stuff

Great Review Matt, I like the scenery and setting in the beginning

Thanks for bringing back the old intro. I wouldn't buy a LaCrosse new, but in two years picking up a fleet car for 22k will probably happen. Thanks for doing this review, I appreciate your honest but yet overall positive reviews.

Like the original intro a lot more. Good review.

I love your reviews! that's why I just got a 1999 Honda prelude type sh I seen your prelude review and it made me get and I love all your videos, they always make my day. keep doing what your doing (: and you should review a 2009 g37 👌 I like your reactions when you step on it hahaha but keep doing what you're doing 👍

Matt, great review, I don't think you realize how many people watch your reviews on "normal" cars that are a few years old. I love the enthusiast stuff, but I am happy you still do car reviews on a car like this Buick LaCrosse. My neighbor who is elderly, bought one brand new in 2018 is thinking about selling, I never thought I would consider a Buick, but every time he rolls down the block I say wow GM made a real nice car, it just catches my eye and the interior to me is very well done.. Anyway this review is helping me make a decision, if he decides to really sell it. His is loaded and even has All Wheel Drive. Like you I live in PA so All Wheel Drive is nice to have. I also watched your Buick Regal GS review, I know they are different cars, but How would you compare the LaCrosse to the Regal GS. I know the GS obviously handles better, but what about ride, comfort, and interior quality., sound insulation?? Reason I ask another neighbor just got a Lincoln and the Regal GS is just sitting, said he is thinking of selling it. Both of these Buick are impressive in my opinion, LaCrosse looks a bit better, The Regal you can tell sporty, plus has the hatch design instead of a trunk. Anyway, Great reviews, well done.

Glad the classic intro is back!

Looks amazing

NICE Review: 2017 Buick LaCrosse Premium

Good review. MotorTrend tore this interior apart. It was interesting to see how much you loved it, considering it seems to be getting picked on for quality and cheap plastics.

good looking car!

Best used car for the money. Florida is FULL of them as the elderns love em'. You can pick up a 5 year old LaCross with 15,000 miles for around $12,000 from the original owner. You can get a 10 year old Buick for $4000 in immaculate condition. Almost like off the showroom floor.

Great review! Would you be able to do a review on the Subaru Crosstrek?

One of the few good Buicks

GM finally getting their issues worked out and making good cars again! There's a reason why Buick is the third most reliable car company in the US, only behind Toyota and Lexus.

have you ever considered having little sections showing off the taillights and headlights while they are on, since now in days some have some really cool l.e.d or laser lighting

Love it This would be a nice investment.

I like the video without the glamour shots right after the intro. Good job on the video

Hi, you're in N.Y? I thought you were in CO. All the best Shaun of NYC

review the 2017 Subaru impreza and lincoln continental

I believe you can disable the start/stop by using the sport mode.

This is what I posted on Buick's FB page:"Leased a new 2017 Lacrosse with everything including 20" wheels and tires. The car rides like a go kart and won't track in a straight line either. I replaced tires at 500 miles, from the OEM Bridgestsone RE97s to the Continental Extreme Contact DSW 06. Although ride and directional stability improved with the Continentals, the car is still darty and brittle. Folks say it's the 20" wheels with 40 series tires. I still have a Pontiac G8 GT with 19" wheels and 40 series tires, far more aggressive tires, and the G8 rides far far better. Other than this major engineering flaw, the car is fine. There's not a thing the dealer car do either as its in the design. First drove the 18" base and it's a floater so something in between would be nice."

That is a pretty car .

Waiting on that 2016 Nissan Maxima review. 😅

WOW crazy good

I was tracking along well right up until the handling conversation when the fact that along with 20" wheels this car comes with an active suspension. Yeah, it absorbs bumps well but not because "its a Buick". It does it because it has the same tech that's used in a Z51 Vette and the Caddy CTS-Vs etc. The standard suspension, sans active suspension, I understand to ride more "like a Buick". Also... why no mention that it shares the platform with the Impala? The aforementioned suspension being one of the key differentiators.

Soft cushy ride even with those 20 inch wheels?

Matt, I earlier asked you about my first car, and you recommended the CTS, which is a great car. But, I can get an amazing deal on a 2014 XTS V-Sport. It's in beautiful condition, but it'll be obviously heavier than the CTS. Do you think I should get it?

@MattMaranMotoring

+Jordan Sloan I haven't driven an XTS but it's not on the amazing Alpha platform like the ATS and CTS so I'm not sure it would feel sporty. I'd wait for a deal on a CTS personally. But I've never driven an XTS so maybe I'm wrong.

Your first car will be a luxury car? Impressive.

You should review a 1999 Buick Regal GS.

Based on your demeanour you like this Buick much more than that Infiniti you reviewed and you know what, so I! Buick is on a roll right now, bring back the Riviera as a halo car.....NOW!

Should have reviewed the Buick Lucerne. That has a v8 and it's a Buick!

Like your review , I'm considering a Buick ..suggestion ....take a breath give us time to comprehend what your talking about ...

I know what Buick is trying to do and it's great and all but it is still a elder cruiser at heart. Cadillac it seems is the only one that sets itself apart from the rest of GM in terms of models, design and the que system which is different from GMC, Buick and Chevrolet systems.

With 20's and the pano sunroof make this car a bit slower than it could be. I firmly believe you can get a cheaper '17 lacrosse that can put up close to '18 lacrosse (with the 9 speed) numbers with no sunroof and the 18's.

The auto start stop is predicated on your braking. Don't slam to a stop then take off. Or, lay off the brake. It's way easy to keep it from dying. Furthermore, stop saying but. For a family wagon that has a subtle ride, a 6.0 second car is awesome. You contradict yourself a-lot, remember what you're reviewing. Damn!

Buick LaCrosse fully loaded, impala fully loaded (premier), Cadillac ATS fully loaded, or close...not any other Cadillac. Anyone, care to reply?

Interior needs some color, maybe lighter wood accents, chrome or metals

the back end looks like the new civics

Auto stop-start is a real pain! I have a 2017 LaCrosse and will be trading it in because of the stop-start feature. Buyers beware!

love this opel insignia

This should replace the Holden Commodore

Stop/Start tweak: Turn the AC temp down.

That is not bezel-less. I think you meant border-less.

Great car to cruise to your PO Box to pick up your AARP catalog and to the store to grab some more Metamucil.

I would of understand that lexus dont make enough "HP" for yourself, but don't come here saying is not sporty and it's a rebadged toyota because your just making yourself look idiotic and a fanboy, if you need more power put a damn supercharger on a is-f and you can spank any mustang or german garbage, and have the most reliable fastest car ever. Don't come in here talking all this crap that comes out your mouth brother. For the average people that don't take they're car to the track "306HP to 416HP" is more than enough power to satisfie anyone. And like i said if you want more power and reliability just slap a supercharger on it and you'll have the best of both world's.

Yoshiaki K. Actually it’s the same platform as the Malibu.

There are very few large sedans on the market that are DIRECT competitors for the Hyundai Genesis. The Buick Lacrosse is a DIRECT competitor for the Genesis/G80/HTRAC: available with AWD and nice luxury features such as a HUD, massage seats, Forward/ Side Collision alerts and other technology based safety features. Both the Lacrosse and Genesis are excellent large, retiree cars without the flash and bling of the Continental, CT6 or other $60,000 - $70,000 cars. It has the size of the CT6 inside, but lacks to optional power and sportiness of the Chevy SS. GM isn't serious about their cars because they should have made an AWD version with an optional V8. They are simply offering "just enough" to stay afloat - taking no chances. This car is a perfect geriatric cruiser for Grandma and Grandpa but it's BORING.

"Cheap plastic" This is a nicely designed car, but as usual, there are the typical GM shortcomings. It seems GM can never catch a break when it comes to interior material! They just can't get the details right...And some people say "Buick is now on Lincoln and Acura's level". Puh-Lease! Buick's about a step above Chevrolet in terms of quality and content! Good review by the way!

So basically its the Buick version of impala.
