The size. When driving it just feels like it's a perfect size for us.

Cons: How would you improve 2006 Buick LaCrosse?
Dual exhaust on all models, not just the CSX. Also a sun roof that retracts into the headliner. This outer one increases road noice when open, unlike my former Riviera which was whisper quiet when open.

2006 Buick LaCrosse Review:
Basically this is an excellent car. A+ on style, comfort and performance. Too bad the 3800 is going away as an engine choice.

2006 Buick LaCrosse Review:
Excellent car at a great value for available features. I have received multiple compliments from people who have driven inside it. Mainly that the interior and appearance are of a much more expensive car.

2005 LaCrosse: Quiet, nicely designed interior. Beautiful exterior design & finish.

Cons: How would you improve 2006 Buick LaCrosse?
Make the GM organization more user friendly. My 3.8 Liter V6 has used one Quart of oil every 1200 miles since the day it was new. GM couldn't care less. I'll never buy another GM product...I'll buy from communist China first.

2006 Buick LaCrosse Review:
Review?? Why did I buy the 2005 LaCrosse car in the first place? I knew better from my last GM product (oil issues, 35 years ago!).

Cons: How would you improve 2006 Buick LaCrosse?
The red metallic paint may not be as resistant to normal weather and road conditions as other colors and the paint coatings on Toyotas.

2006 Buick LaCrosse Review:
This is an excellent automobile. It is a much better car than the Toyota Camry, Nissan Altima, or other Japanese cars. It is much quieter and much better built. It is not an old folks Buick.

Pros: What do you like about 2006 Buick LaCrosse?
First and foremost, the way it handles on winding roads...great fun! But, it's still a wonderful driving sedan....best of both worlds.

Cons: How would you improve 2006 Buick LaCrosse?
The only thing I'm disappointed with to date is the lack of reception on AM radio. In all of my previous vehicles, there was no problem at all. In the LeCrosse, I've got to get about 5 miles from home before the station will come in clearly.

2006 Buick LaCrosse Review:
I love driving this car! On the freeway, it's like I'm being chauffered, but on turns and winding roads, it handles like a sports car. There are so many bells and whistles attached, that I spent my first weekend just reading and reviewing the manuals and CD's that came with it. I've always liked Buick vehicles, but until the LeCrosse came out, I thought I'd have to dye my hair silver-blue and move to Sun City Center because that's where all the LeSabre drivers were!

The remote starter is nice for cooling down the car in this excessive heat. Also nice in the winter for heating it.

2006 Buick LaCrosse Review:
I have had my CXL nearly a month and already have 1800 miles on it. I love it. This is a big improvement over the Regal (I had 3 previous Regals). The ride is much smoother and quieter. I was disappointed in the performance of the '03 Regal and found it rather noisy. After reading about the new design and engineering of the LaCrosse I just had to try it. After 1 long test drive I fell in love with it. Although I passed on the heated seats option, it is a nice feature. My only regret is that I didn't get the CXS model.

Cons: How would you improve 2006 Buick LaCrosse?
Add memory seat controls. Add DVD Navigation. Add active cruise control. It's wonderful.

2006 Buick LaCrosse Review:
The car features firm power seats for the passenger as well as the driver. They're trimmed in leather and have six-way power controls plus there is a lumbar seat adjustment. The insulation makes the car darned quiet! The CXL is the luxury version with the standard 17" aluminum wheels. It looks sleek and stylish, but iit's engine is the one that's become the best running model GM makes.

Pros: What do you like about 2006 Buick LaCrosse?
Handles extremly well around turns and in rainy weather. I'm only 5 feet 2 inches tall but with the power seat no problems at all.

Cons: How would you improve 2006 Buick LaCrosse?
The only thing I would improve is the transmission in drive. It doesn't seem to flow easily in city driving. I don't accelerate quickly and it seems a little jerky and downshifts a lot on hills. When I put it in drive 3 it performs much better.

2006 Buick LaCrosse Review:
I have always loved a Buick since I purchased my first one in 1967. That Buick skylark was the best car I ever owned until this one. This has elegance and great handling at a very fair price. It really is a fun car to drive. I can't wait for my wife to ask me to do errands.(she doesn't drive).

Need to have adjustments on front suspension to correct steering problem

2006 Buick LaCrosse Review:
It does not track well on the highway and wants to wander from left to right. It requires constant correction, and is very tiring for long distance drives. It also has a very bad blind spot on left door post. I don't like cruise control on the steering wheel, you have to take eyes off road to set it.

2006 Buick LaCrosse Review:
I could not have bought a better car, the LaCrosse is just the right car for me. I also have the remote start, and living in OR. where it does snow and get cold, it will be great to warm it up, I have already used it when we have temps in the high 90's to cool it down. It works great

Pros: What do you like about 2006 Buick LaCrosse?
Style A+++, Ride, adequate power, Excellent legroom for taller people, much better than Taurus. TONS of options on base model including power seat. All riders have commented about how much bigger it feels compared to previous Taurus models. Trunk room excellent. High end for the money, nice job GM

Cons: How would you improve 2006 Buick LaCrosse?
Cup holders stink, too far back next to the console, would rather have column shift for more cup room.Trunk operation does not open far enough to open easily. Excellent stereo but equalizer settings over done, let the owner decide what sounds right. Paint job on top excellent, sides terrible peel.

2006 Buick LaCrosse Review:
This is my first Buick. This is a company vehicle so I get my use out of it and drive many miles. 1200 so far and have had it 2 weeks. The CX is loaded with all the basics, ABS, Traction control, remote, etc. The only option was the aluminum wheels which I highly recommend for looks and value. This car rides excellent. mileage is claimed at 20/ 30 and I am getting about 28 mostly highway. The 3.8 has more power than a Taurus V6 and is adequate. The transmission is OK. Great mileage for a car of this size. Positives- Interior very well done, looks rich. Quiet. nice ride, not sporty but not boaty. The black looks like a lexus 300, cool! Very nice fitments. The stereo is excellent.
