2007 Buick LaCrosse CXL from North America - Comments

Nothing has gone wrong with the car.

This car is sporty, comfortable and fun to drive.

The car has very good visibility and handles very well.

I currently drive a Park Avenue and will probably eventually get a LaCrosse CXL or Enclave. I don't like the looks of the Lucerne at all. Thanks for your review.

The lacrosse has the worst visibility between all sedans. Although the ride is is very smooth and quiet. Very small interior space for the driver as well as for the passengers.

I sat in one at the dealership and it seemed very roomy, at least by mid-size standards. Maybe you are used to a Hummer H1?

I have a '06 lacrosse with 6 passenger seating option (should be roomier). The driver head space is very small/tight (compared with a Ford Taurus, Honda Accord, even compared with a Toyota Corolla). That problem and the fact of very small mirrors and back windshield (bad visibility) are the only complaints about this car.

Had mine for a week, then traded it on a Toyota.

Who does the above commenter think they are fooling? Come on.

Why do you find it so hard to believe that somebody got rid of their Buick and traded it for a Toyota? This person probably realized that he/she made a mistake buying the Buick, and decided to do the smart thing, and go for a much superior car instead.

If it were a Lexus maybe. I drove a Corolla and Celica in college upgraded to Buick.

Buick is a luxury manufacturer, Toyota is an "everymans" make. If the comment IS true, it was probably a financial move and not one of choice. Buick is by far a more luxurious and stylish car than a Toyota and is rated higher in reliability.

I can't understand Toyota fans. I would rather be a Kenmore or Whirlpool aficionado, home appliances are more interesting.

Before making my latest new car purchase (a Ford) I test drove the Buick LaCrosse and was extremely impressed. Like most GM mid-sized cars I did notice a lack of headroom (I have the same problem in my 2001 Grand Am) but all of the GM cars I've driven (including my old Grand Am) have electric height adjustments that allow you to lower the seat and give yourself more headroom. I found the vision from inside no different from most cars I drove.

As for fit, finish and performance I found the LaCrosse superior to every car I drove except the Ford Fusion. Due to the awful owner reviews of the Camry I didn't even drive one, and the new Honda Accord looks like a 10-year-old Saturn LS. The new Pontiac G-6 was a big disappointment, and the styling of the cars from Chrysler just no longer appeal to me. In view of the excellent reliability of Buicks (our family has one with 270,000 miles on it) and the comfort, I find the Buick a great car that is second only to the truly extraordinary Fusion. My next second car (to replace my Grand Am) will most likely be a used Buick LaCrosse.

I got a 2007 LaCrosse and a good deal on it from a Toyota dealer. Like someone said above, the Buick is on par with a Lexus or other luxury car model, even the pro reviews agree with that. You really can't compare a Toyota Camry to a Buick LaCrosse, it's like apples and oranges. The Lacrosse has much better interior, more power (3800 V6 vs. 4 banger) and has more standard options. Plus the feel of an American car is sturdier and made of better thicker steel.

I love my Lacrosse. I've gotten all kinds of people asking me about it. It's not just for old people anymore. I'm only 38 yrs. old. AA++ car!

I would be leery buying such a new Buick from a Toyota dealer. Considering the previous owner traded for such a different type of car after such a short period makes me wonder if it might have been problematic. I can't think of many other reasons someone might trade a Buick for a Toyota. People think Toyotas never break, of course as we all know the late model Camrys have their share of major problems. I personally love Buicks, but would not purchase one from a competitors used lot.

In my hometown the same new car dealer sells new Hondas, Buicks, Saab, Jaguar, Pontiac, BMW, GMC lined up for blocks... trust me they do not mind if you buy a new Honda and a new Buick the same day if you wish.

People trade for different reasons... maybe a car is too small and they want a larger SUV. I bought a almost new car only 4 months old that way and am sure the person trading took a real beating. I bought a new car once the sunroof reduced clearance and being tall and special ordering it I did not check it out. I once bought a new Honda Accord Automatic and hated it having owning a Accord stickshift with better power. Anyway if you don't like it and don't want to endure driving one long, you get rid of it.

People sometimes trade in perfectly good cars for reasons other than problems with the car. Up until she bought her 2003 GMC Envoy, my wife averaged trading every 18 months or so because she just "got tired" of her cars. Her trade in on the Envoy (an Explorer) was 18 months old and had a whopping 16,000 miles on it. Her quickest deal was a compact car she bought and kept 3 WEEKS and traded with 800 miles on it. She traded it because her friends made fun of her for driving a small car. Thankfully she is madly in love with the Envoy and says she intends to keep it for 200,000 miles or more. I credit GM's excellent build quality and super-smooth driving for helping her to stick with this one.
