2005 Buick LaCrosse consumer reviews

My 3rd day of owning this car, so far so good. Im still getting accustomed to the touchy gas pedal and brakes. Comfortable ride, extremely quiet and its just what i wanted. It has just about every option for the base model. Great buy at 107k... i got it at a steal! Car looks great!! Zero rust, beautiful blue metallic paint and chrome wheels to add to the look! I would definitely recommend this to anyone that wants a safe comfortable and reliable car for a good price! The 3800 is a beast too!

in the car was the water would come threw the antenna on the roof and come in threw the dome light. hard rain storms did the same. the seal was fine btw so figure that one out. the ac did what it wanted, the radiator was junk the alternator was junk, the transmission was horrible when backing up it would about snap your neck while shifting into gear, then once turned into drive it would again shift HARD. the high beams were pathetic (lenses not faded) in the winter forget it just park it.

I had a 05 Buick Lacrosse in 2009 and LOVED it. It was my baby, until my ex-husband totaled it in 2013. Since then I've driven a Sierra, Mountaineer, and a Malibu. None of which I loved. I started searching for a used vehicle with low miles that was in good shape and reasonably priced. I found just that at Dream Deals on Wheel. I went there looking at an Impala and then I seen the Buick and it was fate! they had already sols the Impala and the Buick was almost identical to my old one. Took it for a test drive and 3 days later its mine. I got my Silver Bullet back. Love the way it rides, handles, looks, feels, everything about it.

I bought my 2005 Buick LaCrosse CXL in 2009, with 50,000 miles on it. It is now up to 122,000 miles without any serious problems. Other than typical maintenance issues like new brake pads and oil changes, the main repair has been a bad left front wheel ABS sensor at 115,000 miles, which was not cheap to fix, but otherwise the car has been reliable and economical. It still gets 30 MPH on the highway, 20 in the city, and has plenty of power. The 3800 Series III V6 engine remains strong and the transmission is still smooth, all of the electricals still work properly, and the body is showing no signs of rust or excess wear. The only thing I don't like about it is that the trunk doesn't have a key! You have to use the electric opener without a key backup. That's a silly design decision by the GM beancounters no doubt. Overall, however, the Buick engineers did their job with this one.

I have owned several Buicks They tend to perform well with very high mileage, often going over 300000 with regular repairs of a car much "younger". Very comfortable ride and the Lacrosse has a European feel to it's body style. Great suspension too. Most are loaded with extras

This is my second Buick, my first being a 92 Lesabre which I had for nine years. I don't think I'll have a problem with this one.

I would have to say that my LaCrosse is one of my best investments. It is smooth, extremely reliable, and gets good gas mileage. I put it on the highway for the first time a couple weeks ago and got 34 mpg. I kept my speed between 63-67 mph. I love the gas mileage computer; keeps you informed about everything going on with the car. The car is extremely comfortable.

Bought mine in 08 with 60k miles and here in September 0f 2010 it has 161k. Replaced one wheel bearing and two sets of tires. Runs great and is good on gas. Average 29-32 hwy. Sales keeps me moving. Only down side is the blind spots. Hard to see behind and to the sides.

Good car in gas, confortable to drive in any weather. Also it is the perfect size for peolpe to drive.

I have owned my 2005 Buick LaCrosse CXS since February of 2007. Bought it new for about $9000 off the sticker since it was still on the lot for two years. It's been a very reliable car. It has no rattles...even after it got rear-ended two years ago. Love the traction control...especially on slippery roads! The FACTORY remote start is really great to have, too. There's lots of room for my long legs. It's just an all-around well-built car....and BUICK IS #1!
