2012 Buick LaCrosse

[@Jaykay321]

We've had a LaCrosse since 2010; there haven't been any problems with ours.

[@backwoodsbully]

This guy is so anti Buick he screams it!

[@jmoneymaker96]

my dad bought a 2013 buick lacrosse with the V6 and it's really nice! The only bad thing is the visibility, but other than that it's great

[@shysims4814]

Omg so true

[@tariqsw69]

I just bought a mint condition 2010 with 20k mile’s incredible visibility is trash tho lol

[@MegaAlsf]

You might as well cross your fingers and listen for the crunch LMAO

[@mike19621000]

that's his opinion; those vents look great, stop finding stuff wrong so you'll have something to talk about

[@socalguy97]

My GOD, you have bad taste. My wife and I, in our 30's, have this car. It doesn't photograph beautifully? Have your eyes checked. The portholes? We love them. Imagine the hood without them. Blah. They look great, the car looks great. We get plenty of compliments on them. And you don't need Intellilink AND Nav--the OnStar nav is more than helpful. We use it everyday. Your reviews need a second opinion.

[@socalguy97]

Such a one-sided ridiculous review it should be flagged as inappropriate. My God, a car that's received so much praise since its arrival is getting knocked down by this bag of bias? Please!

[@jamelmoore4356]

decent review overall. but I believe they're being a tad bit condescending when it comes to the overall review of the quality and detail to styling, which GM actually did a decent job with this time. this car may not be at the top of its class, but it offers plenty to be competitive.

[@PassportBrosBusinessClass]

To say the Lacrosse doesn't look good is pure hate. I saw one of these on the road today in crystal Red. IT WAS FUCKING GORGEOUS. Even in pics it looks fine.

[@AZZHO808]

love my Buick

[@MrEjones78]

I was going to get this car until I realized I would have to lean forward to press buttons. Wait, I think I do that now. I mean bedsides Yoda, most people reach for things? are there people who dont have to reach for things, (besides Yoda). this is a whole new level of 1st world problems I did not know I needed to worry about.

[@Bmwx5fan9]

buick has plumeted since the late 90's cause they have dropped basically all there models

[@socalguy97]

No. It's an entry-luxury car, like the other front drive entry-luxury products like the Lexus ES and Acura TL, the competitors to this car. BUT...I'm not the one who gave the car that award, US News did, or Auto Times, so let them know they titled it incorrectly if you feel that way.

[@landlocked62]

Intellilink has bluetooth streaming, just push the more> button. There, you will find MORE buttons, bluetooth among them.

[@sugarhousepark]

I am 28. I don't know why I want to drive this car. It is beatiful.

[@tingokuman]

This is a NERD/TECHIES car granted we typically buy acuras.I didn't even notice this car.I went to a GM dealership to buy a used BMW.I had a few domestics in the past though.this has all the goodies remote start,HUD,the Harman Kardon alone sold me.Chinese influence shines through on the head and taillights.It looks very Buck Rogers Cylon in the rear.The interior has a blue led strip that looks just like the starship enterprise main deck.Best of all it feels high quality BUICK outdid itself.A+

[@rogerredding5269]

This guy is very anti buick??? Looks as good and drives as good as anything else in its class 😉? I have one and love ❤️ it. No problems? So far.? just love american large ⭕ sudens may they make a comeback soon ? Suvs ?are becoming boring ? Just a comment 😄.??.

[@danielcolanton7504]

Did. Did you just SAY WE BUY ACURAS?!?!?!?! Eww nooo. GM is nice there escalades are amazing and of course ther lacrosse and enclave

[@PassportBrosBusinessClass]

GM doesn't have a V6 engine worth a FUCK. Infiniti's M37 has a great V6. I'm not sure how it's reliability is, but it's way more powerful than the V6 GM has stupidly put in everything from the XTS on down.

[@Bmwx5fan9]

90s Buick please comeback

[@Rooshan_Rafique621]

Legends watching after 10 years🤣🤣

[@oozeyy3232]

try 11

[@colombiankilla01]

I cant believe a civic has more hp than this!

[@socalguy97]

Right, it's new for 2013. This was the first year for intellilink, so they were testing the waters. Evidently now they realize they could integrate both. Look up Buick changes for 2013; or try intellilink for 2013.

[@sidtay8083]

Find a new job bro it's obvious u jus dont like Buick

[@readynow12345]

There is really no such thing as a junky car any more, most cars built today will last, unlike in the 80's now that was a really bad decade for cars, junk to me is a car that breaks down all the time, maybe you have another interpretation, as far as all the bells and whistles are concerned thats not why people buy cars at least I hope not, I know I buy a car for reliability

[@roguedogx]

I can't explain why, but I like this car.

[@socalguy97]

I couldn't agree with you more. What the hell? Everyone who drives, or owns this car has, praised it up one side and down the other. And THIS is his review? lol.

[@DaddyIvo]

"listen for the crunch"? Lol Cooley! You're the man!

[@PassportBrosBusinessClass]

BLUETOOTH STREAMING SUCKS. #1 If the smartphone isn't connected via USB, you can bet the BATTERY WILL BE DEAD IN LESS THAN AN HOUR. iPhone4S and galaxy 3 I've tested - I KNOW IT. You should connect with USB to charge while the car's streaming audio via USB. #2 A2DP Bluetooth LOCKS UP THE PHONE. What if someone wants to make a call but you don't want the music to stop??? What if you want full HD quality sound instead of compressed digital? USB or AUX will give you that.

[@JohnTaylor-bd1uy]

You can't stream music

[@socalguy97]

Wrong. This review is old. Navi and Intellilink do come together now. I own the car and have both. It's not cheap though. It's an extra $895 (I think).

[@jmoneymaker96]

actually the buick regal is the one that's similar to the insignia not the Lacrosse.

[@cesaraugustomari3676]

These things are not Buick anymore... Just a Chinese designed plastic box with a small plastic engine.... miss Ol' days

[@xavierlopez7096]

I remember when Shaq did a commercial in one of these right after he retired.

[@jojo0827]

i disagree the portholes are so ugly, and its never a good looking in photos as well. You need a second opinion

[@tingokuman]

Hey mr tech guy just bought one yesterday it DOES!! have A2DP Bluetooth streaming and you don't have to touch the screen ever.I didn't realize it was a touch screen until the dealer showed me right before I left the lot.I can use the steering wheel or voice commands for most functions then I have the Acura like plethora of buttons for the rest.if you like tech this is a great option its geared towards younger buyers that love star trek,star wars,and knight rider im 35 I love them all.

[@mak450]

@ricksmiths10 Yeah but they're not gonna care...or at least they shouldn't, not in a car of this size.

[@PLATINUM2U]

Gosh the 2.4 in this car is so sluggish. Its like driving a big ASS boat with a fiat 500 motor

[@wasiur901]

i like brian cooley

[@mercedesbenzisbest]

This car has the worst visability out of any car I have ever been in. 2nd to Lamborghini Countach

[@socalguy97]

It's my car, too. Won the luxury car of the year award for 2012, garners all kinds of attention, gets compliments wherever we go with it, gets great remarks from almost all other professional reviewers---then you have this fool (lol) whose taste is clearly questionable, and he isn't worth listening to.

[@socalguy97]

Buick ten years ago, perhaps. Buick today, not a chance. Get with the times young'un.

[@851995STARGATE]

You realize, GM owns holden right.

[@emantabrizi]

Boring, pointless car. No wonder GM is still struggling after all these years.

[@TheSpritz0]

THUMBS UP if you LIKE the interior style!!!

[@DJTEVAdotCOM]

Lol...he just flip a bird

[@frankburns8871]

I had a 2007 LaCrosse, and yeah it was a lot different in a lot of ways, but it was still a LaCrosse. I wasn't looking for an American Accord or Camry, nor an American Mercedes, though I did expect a well built, reasonably luxurious and (subjectively) good-looking car. I wasn't disappointed. It was quiet, elegant, smooth-riding, adequately powerful, and had luxury features as standard that were optional or not available on competitive models. It was also perfectly reliable. I didn't have a single problem with it in the two years and 40,000 miles or so I put on it. Leather seats, remote start, dual-zone climate controls, heated seats and steering wheel, power everything, on and on.

[@chrisak49]

Thumbs up if you Asian and your parent alway say Toyota bedder

[@deblaufenberg7636]

I have a 2012 hybrid. Good on gas but don't really like it. I wouldn't buy another. . Probably gonna sell hopefully soon 🤣

[@LuvHealthNConception]

my new car i pick up this week but of course in a diff color both ex and interior and yes i agree the hood vents are tacky lol but hey i really love this vehicle visibility was fine for us! Love all your reviews

[@BabyBaby-hm4zt]

Greenz nThingz do you still have this car? I'm tryna find a car for college thanks.

[@BigSCTVfan]

I was thinking of getting a Buick LaCrosse but thanks to this review, I am reconsidering it. Definitely don't want a car in which I have to bend over too far to touch the screen or a car with poor visibility from the windows.

[@SB-yl9pv]

I realize this is an older thread,but what tires are on everybody's lacrosse so there isn't so much road noise. I have a 2016 lacrosse w 20" tires and the road noise is horrendous. I have the potenza 980as tires

[@ricksmiths10]

young consumers (which buick are trying to target now a days) know what under-steering is!

My 2012 LaCrosse is used everyday and has 33580 original miles. I love my car!!

Those pillars are thick on any gm product that has them. With time you get used to them but I just wish gm would make them a bit thinner. Great review

What I didn't realize about this car is its a gigantic Prius with leather (4cyl hybrid) it has no exhaust.I'm truly in love with this car.as for the car it looks like it was designed by the Chinese translated to American taste.its a cross between a new Hyundai/mid 90s Riviera inside and I mean this in a good way.Where the hell is all that power coming from It has 182hp gas+15hp elec.it prefers the city with lots of stops to regenerate and use its battery as much as possible.

[@muiscnight]

Ever since they came out with this Ive been waiting for them to release a new lucerne

[@fuckedoveredbyincest]

where,s the sound?

[@AKSBSU]

My grandmother just bought one of these things. I drove it around yesterday. The reviewer covered most of the pros and cons pretty well. I don't remember him mentioning the side rear-view mirrors; they are awful. They are shaped in a bizarre way that makes it difficult to see on the passing lane. Then those damn pillars are gigantic, making changing lanes a bit frightening. Visibility sucks, which is not the idea situation for my granny. The console inside is nice. Styling is hit and miss.

I don't know but at least they all work for now..haha

[@socalguy97]

The 2nd, 3rd and 50th opinions have come in the form of compliments we've gotten from the car itself. Guess everyone has their own likes and dislikes. BUT, one thing across the board that you'll see from practically anything you read puts this car not looking beautiful or photographing well in the minority.

[@blackseries99]

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

[@madisonwoodside1045]

Thanks. Thorough review. Shouldn't the poor visibility due to the A-Pillar disqualify this car from purchase?

[@jaydenthompson1747]

Yes

[@PriddyTP]

I really wish all the gadgets and star trek console and nasa bluetooth satallite crap was removed and more plush comfortable elbow room was added back for pure comfort like the old days where you could have sex easily

[@wilmotown]

He said that the "navigation was up there with BMW and Toyota" and I have both of those car brands and the nav in my 3 GT is amazing but a 2015 sienna's navigation is abhorrent. It's terrible. I don't think they've updated it since the 2005 sienna. It's really that bad.

[@TimJoseph08031990]

GM = Government Motors! Some of their cars might be getting better, but most of the luxury models are disappointing with this and the Cadillac Escalade! Some luxury cars from GM have limited standard features.

Oh man those bonnet vents...

[@Phillyphil13139]

I'd imagine he's allowed to say what he wants because CNET is one of the most respectable reviewing..things there is for technology, and if CNET wants to move into auto's, they should have an entertaining host that isn't afraid to completely bash a car. And even if he does bash a car, it's CNET, who has heard of them giving something an inaccurate review? Correct me if i'm wrong but it's the gutsy-ness of CNET that keeps them so popular, and if something isn't up to par, they will surely say it.

[@RayneRuth]

I test drove several cars, including Chevy Impala and Malibu, and Buick LaCrosse ans Regal. I settled on a 2015 Hyundai Azera, and I'm very happy with the tech, power, warranty, handling, etc. Android Auto enhances the tech package well.

[@stevenvaldez6817]

This car is so beautifull

[@chipsandcheesecurlz]

What are you talking about? Most brands which you consider "imports" are now made in American factories and even if they weren't, not buying American cars wouldn't hurt the 14 trillion+ dollars worth of debt America is in.

[@Mrdeandean100]

but the buick goes faster

[@102ashrafc]

The old GM is way better

[@socalguy97]

How ironic? My imports were junk. Audi, BMW, bought both new, both ended up junk. I bought the Lacrosse after my BMW, which was only two years old, died on the freeway. I then talked to two people who owned Buicks, one with 248,000 miles, and another with 170,000, both had nothing but praise. So far I'm not regretting my purchase and it's been a few years.

I've always hated the pillars in cars, even normal sized A pillars can obscure things like pedestrians, why can't they design a very slim pillar, I'm sure there's a suitable high strength Al or Ti alloy, maybe use some scaffolding structure (think avian bone structure)
