Nothing - It is a Buick.
My wife and I have driven Buicks since 1989 and loved each of them.
The LaCrosse is very comfortable (about the same as our '03 LeSabre). We find the leather seats very comfortable both on short and long trips, and the driving position is very comfortable. Buicks seem to have a higher seating position than many other cars, which allows for a great view of the road. The heated seats, sunroof, and dual climate control are great additions.
We test drove the Toyota Avalon and new Accord, but they just didn't compare to the Buick. With rebates we got the loaded Buick for just over $23,000. We paid more than that for our LeSabre 5 years ago!!
Toyota and Honda just can't touch the value of the Buick. We have driven Buicks with the 3.8 for nearly 20 years, and our experience has been that this engine is second to none.
I agree with the reviewer. I bought a La Crosse in 2007 after test driving mid-size imports such as the Camry and Accord. The Camry and Accord felt like flimsy, low buck economy cars while the Buick feels like a solid high-end luxury car.
I paid $14500 for an 2007 Lacrosse in Jan of 2008, the prev. owner traded it in after 1 year so I got a great deal. My wife had a toyota corolla for 7 years, it was an OK car but you can't compare the luxury and ride next to a buick w/the 3800 v6 engine in it. Very solid, great riding, fun to drive car!!
Even the less expensive GM cars have a very smooth and solid feel. The Buick line is one of the best of GM's cars.
I've ridden in my co-workers Lexus. It was 3 weeks old, had a bad rattle in the dash and the "check engine" light on already, and had the "cheap plastic" that everyone gripes about all over the interior. I was very surprised.
The LaCrosse I test drove last year (before buying a Ford) was a far nicer and better built car.
