2005 Buick LaCrosse CX review from North America
"Great car!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Parking brake is a bit too low, tires could be better, all else excellent. Unfortunately ABS and side airbags not standard for 2005 models.
General comments?
This is great improvement vs. older models: comfort, style and handling are better, suspension and breaks especially. Quietness is superb, controls, material quality and interior design very good. This car runs like a dream, take home price was also very attractive with all incentives, I would not consider anything else for that value/quality. We did not ask for racing car, reliability and build quality were main criteria and I was familiar with bullet-proof 3.8 L engine. Highly recommended as family sedan if you ask me.
