Why do I like the Buick LaCrosse? Did I turn 50?

[cacicgtp7]

Not sure what it is, but I think I really want a used LaCrosse to DD. Seems like a great cruiser and you can find them used for 15-20K fully loaded (HUD, ventilated seats, heated steering wheel, ect).

Anyone have experience with them? [MENTION=22]syP[/MENTION] you're at GM dealerships, what's the word on these used (2011-2013 years). I think I like it more than the regal from what I've seen, and I can't find much else in the 15-20K used price range that have as many features as these.

Its just such a plain looking car. I'm digging the interior tho.

I always wanted to throw a turbo on the turdy eight hundred version, and troll people on the highway

I don't disagree - it doesn't really have pop on the outside but it's just clean. I'm trying to find things in the 15K-19K range that are as nice as that interior that would compete though. Maybe a used Maxima but they aren't even as nice as that. Not a huge fan of the used CTS's.

Buicks are underrated because of their plain Jane looks. I have found them to be dependable transportation and Buick does throw the occasional GSX in there.

Older LS4 one with a 4t80 and snail like Furches Performance stuffed into a monte on the GrandPrixforums.net board!

Would be a baller sleeper!

I like the sound of LS4/4T80 simple because its doesn't have a single 6 in it as in NO V6 or 4T6fail!!

As for the OP have you looked at the new GEN impalas?
I had one for a rental car out in Washington DC and that interior on them is damn nice too. Id just have to have the 3.6 engine in them and not the 4 cylinder that's just me.

My dad has a lacrosse. Every time I ride in it I want it. Would make an awesome daily for sure.

X2 my momma owns an ugly gold Turdy800 one.

 

[torquelover]

Had one of these last week as a Hertz rental. Pretty smooth, good highway ride, and lots of rear legroom.More road noise than I would have expected though. Dunno if I could DD, would fall asleep?

My father in law loves his 14 lacrosse. I admit I enjoy the ride as well, nice dd for sure

I actually really like the new Impala but even a used one (with the newer body style and V6) is in the mid-high 20's not teens yet.

Nothing like GM depreciation

what about a regal T or GS? might be a little more similar to your 3

 

[ThirdgenTa]

Had some of them as rentals. Thought they were nice cars. I like the red one that they make.

Regal needs manual, awd, and turbo at the same time.


The LaCrosse is a good looking car, never driven one but my retired neighbor loves his new one.

 

[cacicgtp7]

I want to also check out the Regal GS but it doesn't have HUD... WTF. Also it's kinda slow for what it is but supposedly tossable in the corners.

 

[EmersonHart13]

HUD, oh I miss thee...

 

[99PONTIACGP]

HUD, oh I miss thee...

thought you would have bought that ebay one you posted

 

[EmersonHart13]

Haha, I wanted to just to see how bad it is, but elected to wipe my ass with a 20 instead.

On the regal part... yea you can get that combo in those right? Not sure on the regular regal but I know you can get all 3 on the newer GS models

 

[EmersonHart13]

Nope, awd means auto I believe.

I just tried to build one...

damn you right, was looking at used 2014s, that sucks only auto with the awd in the gs

 

[Angus]

I have a closet liking to the GS in manual flavor...

 

[EmersonHart13]

I looked at the GS, it was a contender if it had awd and manual.

 

[rocco]

They're nice comfortable, good driving cars. Basically the same car as 2014 and newer Impalas.

 

[SMRTSS1]

I test drove a GS for shits and giggles before I bought my truck and I really liked it. Only reason I didn't get one is because they wouldn't budge on the price and everything I read said it was shit in snow.
