Guide: 5=Perfect; 3=Good; 1=Poor

Pros: What do you like about 2008 Buick LaCrosse?
Beautiful, classy styling.

Amazing handling/ride.

Good brakes.

High quality/very reliable.

Nice engine, powerful enough to outrun many different cars (unless it is an AMG or M series BMW).

Looks expensive, feels expensive, is expensive (where I live at least).

Cons: How would you improve 2008 Buick LaCrosse?
The transmission is pretty good, but a 6 speed automatic would be much better.

Although the engines are already pretty good and powerful, more HP/torque would be much appreciated.

RWD would be a +.

Dual visible exhaust on all models would be good.

Portholes from the Super as an option for all models would be a nice addition (As well as the spoiler).

Real wood could be a good thing to have.

More interior colors to select from.

A screen with GPS and multimedia as standard/option.

2008 Buick LaCrosse Review:
A stunning, beautiful, classy sedan (Especially in brown metalic, beige or white).
Handling is really good. Ride is amazing (you feel like you are standing still, while going over 120 Km/h).
Performs well (really kicks butt!).
Oh, and the sound is just amazing (My CXL with a 3.8 sounds like a beast, probably the Super is really amazing).
The stereo system is very good and high quality.
All the Cons I wrote about are just thoughts and dreams (Any car can be improved, even a Veyron).
It's very good as it is, but if it had all the stuff I suggested, the price would be much higher (Where I live, I payed 90 000$ for a brand new CXL, so it's already pretty expensive).

A great, beautiful, reliable, high class sedan, which is pretty fast as well.

2008 Buick LaCrosse Review:
After having the car for only 6 months, the rear passenger door locking system quit working, a month and a half later both keyless entry devices quit working, one of them had never been used...batteries were changed but only one works, sometimes....
At 60K miles, the ignition coil went out and now at 65K miles, the wheel bearings need replacing....
I will never buy a Buick againnnnnnn...........

Pros: What do you like about 2008 Buick LaCrosse?
Nice styling.
Great ride.
Quiet inside.
Smooth transmission.

Cons: How would you improve 2008 Buick LaCrosse?
Use a variable valve timing engine as in the 2008 Saturn XE and XR.
Make split fold down back seat standard.

2008 Buick LaCrosse Review:
Love the styling; grill is beautiful. Ride is better than any other car in its class. Very quiet, thanks to GM's quietizing program. Totally reliable V6 3800 Series III engine, proven over years of use. Smooth transmission.

Pros: What do you like about 2008 Buick LaCrosse?
The 5.3 liter V-8 engine and very comfortable seats in my '08 Lax Super

Cons: How would you improve 2008 Buick LaCrosse?
The storage compartment between the seats needs to be move forward a bit.

2008 Buick LaCrosse Review:
Fast with comfortable seats, good looking exterior and interior best describes the '08 Buick LaCrosse Super. It's reasonably priced.
