2011 buick lacrosse review this car review is specific to this model, not the actual vehicle for sale. Fuel economy is an epa-estimated 19/30 mpg city/highway. The ecotec engine replaces a 3. 0-liter v6 that came standard on 2010 models. a 3. 6-liter v6 is available for all models offering 280 horsepower and an epa-estimated 17/27 mpg city/highway. The sporty lacrosse cxs comes exclusively with the 3. 6-liter v6, along with a host of features and options designed to enhance its sporty character, yet it retains comfortable driving characteristics and the same fuel economy rating. completely redesigned for the 2010 model year, the lacrosse looks contemporary, elegant and refined. It's conservative but not conventional. There's an edge to it. It's a fresh take on traditional buick design, but it includes buick heritage cues, such as the waterfall front grille and the signature portholes. The portholes, however, have been moved from the traditional fender placement to the hood so as not to disturb the fluid body lines. The result is a sweeping, fluid exterior design that flows uninterrupted around the vehicle, with no disconnected lines. the interior has a finely detailed, high-quality character. Throughout the cabin are few straight lines and 90-degree joints, if any. Instead, surfaces and controls are rounded, coved, or arched. Real stitching is used to join seams of the seats, shifter boot and soft material used on the door panels and around the instruments. Chrome and wood trim are used judiciously, tastefully, and the materials in the headliner and upper parts of the cabin look and feel like premium material. Features like remote starting, rear-seat dvd and ice-blue led interior lighting accents are available, along with in-dash navigation, heads-up display, bluetooth, and auxiliary audio input with usb port. onstar's automatic crash response and stabilitrak electronic stability control headline a full complement of active and passive safety features. All-wheel drive is available, improving capability in winter weather. we found the lacrosse relaxing to drive yet it will respond eagerly to driver input. The smooth ride of the current models is a big improvement over the pre-2010 models. Buick engineers working in germany stiffened the body structure beginning with the 2010 models; a stiff structure is the key to a quiet cabin and smooth ride. Buick also improved the suspension starting with the 2010 models, and we found this latest version exhibits less body roll in the corners and less float on lumpy surfaces. Steering was quickened to complement the new chassis, so it steers more precisely, but without inducing noticeable torque steer under hard throttle. All of this makes the lacrosse a compelling choice. the lacrosse can be configured for a wide range of customer priorities. Each model is specifically developed and tuned to emphasize qualities such as sport driving, road isolation, high mileage, or enhanced luxury. Even so, all models have a high level of standard equipment, and most safety equipment is standard on all models. lineupthe 2011 buick lacrosse comes in three grades: cx 26,495), cxl 29,055), cxl awd 32,570), and cxs 33,265). Chrome plated 18-inch wheels are standard; 19-inch wheels are optional 2,745). There are air bags for driver and passenger at front, side, and thorax, plus head-level side curtain air bags for all rows. This is all standard equipment on all models, as are pedestrian protective features. Onstar, with automatic crash response, comes free for a year. Rear seat-mounted thorax air bags are optional 350) on all models. Optional all-wheel drive can further enhance safety. It's distinctly original, and yet, the car remains recognizable as a buick. there is a notably high belt line, and the wheels are snugly enclosed at the outer ends of the body. Viewed from the side, the profile is not unlike that of a sport-compact coupe, but the lacrosse is a roomy car, and bigger than it looks. A coefficient of drag (cd) of 0. 33 adds to the sleek effect and helps improve mileage and control wind noise. teams on three continents participated in the design. The chassis team, based in germany, adapted a version of the fwd/awd platform developed for the opel insignia, and the interior was designed in china. The exterior design team, based in north america, took on the responsibility for creating a fresh, new buick sheetmetal treatment. interiorthe lacrosse interior uses thoughtfully considered materials, based on a highly detailed design concept. The front space is framed by a low-and-away instrument panel, opening up the area for front seat occupants and creating a light, airy atmosphere. Flat, low-relief controls are clustered in an orderly, symmetrical center stack, leaving generous portions of the dash surround free and clean. The overall effect is to create a graceful, uncluttered cockpit. Styled air vents on either side of the navigation screen, which mimic the design of vintage buicks, have a quality feel and ample range of adjustment. Two overhead spotlights softly highlight the seating areas. It's a visually sophisticated way of lighting the cabin, quite unexpected and inviting. the interior design team was based in china, where buick cars are often purchased by owners who do not drive themselves, leading to special emphasis on interior detail and back seat accommodations. Rear legroom is generous, even with the front seats adjusted for taller drivers. A power rear sunshade is standard on the cxs. all models benefit from buick's quiettuning sound control initiatives. These include use of acoustic glass, triple door seals, acoustic mats and extensive use of sound-deadening materials. Engine and suspension noise and vibrations have been isolated through use of hydraulic bushings, covers and tuned air flow systems. lacrosse cx and cxl models are complemented with dark poplar wood appliques, while the cxs has more technical titanium-type square trim details. When passing, we saw the automatic transmission shift directly from 2000 rpm to 5000 rpm, on the way to 7000 rpm, accelerating smoothly. That meant we were exposed to oncoming traffic for a minimum amount of time. The engine does need to rev to make peak power, seeming to catch fire at 4500 rpm. It makes a pleasantly balanced, muted mechanical whir when revved, but otherwise runs very quietly. The 3. 6-liter v6 is rated at 280 hp and 259 lb-ft.

2010 buick lacrosse review this car review is specific to this model, not the actual vehicle for sale. All-new, with distinctive style, advanced driving dynamics. introductionthe all-new 2010 buick lacrosse is an appealing luxury sedan that manages to combine efficiency, comfort and style with a responsive driving experience. The lacrosse is has been completely redesigned for 2010 and is distinguished by its fresh styling. Also new: the 2010 lacrosse is available with all-wheel drive. the lacrosse comes standard with a new direct-injection 3. 0-liter v6 with a six-speed automatic transmission that makes the most of the engine's performance and mileage potential. All lacrosse models with front-wheel drive get an epa-rated 17/27 mpg city/highway. Lacrosse awd gets 16/26. the sporty lacrosse cxs exclusively has a more powerful 3. 6-liter v6 along with a host of features and options designed to enhance its sporty character, yet it retains comfortable driving characteristics and the same fuel economy rating. positioned in a higher price range than before, the all-new 2010 lacrosse should be considered a refreshing example of what gm can do when the need for excellent product takes top priority. It's a world-class car in every sense of the term, and predictably, that advancement brings with it a higher price. Even in base trim, the new lacrosse is not a cheap car, but then, there is nothing cheap about it. the new exterior is contemporary, elegant and refined, with an eye toward style and individual expression. It's conservative, but not conventional. There's an edge to it. This fresh take on traditional design includes buick heritage cues, such as the waterfall front grille and portholes, which are integrated into a sweeping, fluid exterior design that flows uninterrupted around the vehicle, with no disconnected lines. The signature portholes, while present, have been moved to the hood so as not to disturb the fluid body lines. the interior has an uncommonly finely detailed, high-quality character. There are few straight lines and 90-degree joints, if any, throughout the cabin. Instead, surfaces and controls are rounded, coved, or arched. Real stitching is used to join seams of the seats, shifter boot and soft material used on the door panels and around the instruments. Chrome and wood trim are used judiciously, tastefully, and the materials in the headliner and upper parts of the cabin look and feel like premium material. Features like remote starting, rear-seat dvd and ice-blue led interior lighting accents are available, along with in-dash navigation, heads-up display, bluetooth, and auxiliary audio input with usb port. equipped with active safety and intelligent personal technologies, the lacrosse cabin is comfy, rich in convenience features, and as safe as the most modern active safety equipment can make a car. There are air bags for driver and passenger at front, side, and thorax, plus head-level side curtain air bags for all rows. This is all standard equipment on all models, as are pedestrian protective features. Onstar, with automatic crash response, comes free for a year. we found the quiet cabin and smooth ride made the lacrosse a relaxing car to drive, yet it will respond to sporting driver input with quick downshifts and ready power. Buick engineers working in germany made the body structure stiffer than the previous model, resulting in noticeably better suspension performance, with less body roll in the corners and less float on lumpy surfaces. Steering has been quickened a bit to complement the new chassis, so it steers more precisely, but without inducing noticeable torque steer under hard throttle. Each model is specifically developed and tuned to emphasize qualities such as sport driving, road isolation, high mileage, or enhanced luxury. Even so, all models have a high level of standard equipment, and all safety equipment is standard on all models. lineupthe 2010 buick lacrosse comes in three grades: cx 27,085), cxl 29,645), cxl awd 31,820), and cxs 33,015). The cx and cxl come with a 3. 0-liter v6. Cxs comes with a 3. 6-liter v6. An intelligent all-wheel-drive system is available for the cxl, paired with a more sophisticated h-arm rear suspension. lacrosse cxs features the 3. 6-liter v6. Chrome plated 18-inch wheels are standard; 19-inch wheels are optional. Includes leather heated and cooled seats.

Interior color choices include contrasting two-tone combinations: cocoa/light cashmere and dark titanium/light titanium as well as jet black. driving impressionwe had a pleasant summer day to drive a variety of lacrosse models in and around the ann arbor, michigan area, extending out to the country roads around plymouth. Both powertrains allow for easy loafing about, even under 2000 rpm, and both quickly rev to 7000 rpm when the throttle is pinned to the floor. When passing, we saw the automatic transmission shift directly from 2000 rpm to 5000 rpm, on the way to 7000 rpm, accelerating smoothly. That meant we were exposed to oncoming traffic for a minimum amount of time, regardless of which v6 we drove. Both engines do need to rev to make peak power, seeming to catch fire at 4500 rpm. Both engines make a pleasantly balanced, muted mechanical whi.

2008 buick lacrosse review this car review is specific to this model, not the actual vehicle for sale. Its styling is sophisticated and modern, yet conservative. Buick dug into its past for the super model name, last used in 1958. The super is distinguished by buick's trademark portholes and other styling cues. the lacrosse cx and cxl offer a soft ride, the kind traditionally associated with buick, but drivers may be surprised by the sportiness of the cxs and super, which offer precise steering and a relatively firm suspension with little body lean. A lacrosse cxs handles quite impressively on winding mountain roads and can carve through a canyon with the best of the midsize sedans. we found the v6 engines motor along smoothly and quietly on the freeway yet offer good power, growling enthusiastically under hard acceleration. The 3. 8-liter v6 that comes in the cxl is a reliable, cast-iron, overhead-valve engine that gets an epa-rated 17/28 mpg and delivers strong low-rpm torque for good acceleration in on crowded, low-revving american roads. The sportier cxs features a double overhead-cam engine that revs more freely and produces more horsepower, making the lacrosse more fun to drive while rating 17/25 mpg. The new super v8 turns this buick into a modern muscle car but is refined and quiet when cruising. The super is epa rated at 16/24 mpg. electronic features abound, making the lacrosse a safe, all-weather family car with nice conveniences. The base cx and the more luxurious cxl are powered by a 3. 8-liter overhead-valve v6 rated at 200 horsepower. The sportier cxs comes with a 3. 6-liter v6 with modern double overhead camshafts and variable valve timing that develops 240 horsepower. All models come standard with onstar hardware and a one-year subscription to onstar service. A comfort and convenience package for cx 495) adds heated front seats, power driver seat lumbar adjustment, and a split folding rear seat. Also available for cx are alloy wheels 350), chrome alloy wheels 650), a power sunroof 900), nine-speaker am/fm radio stereo with in-dash six-disc cd player 695), and a six-way power passenger seat 250). Five-passenger seating is standard, but six-passenger seating is available for cx and cxl 250). cxl 25,310) features leather upholstery, power lumbar adjustment for the driver's seat, and alloy wheels. Options for cxl include a split folding rear seat 275) and p225/55r17 tires on chrome alloy wheels 750). cxs 27,310) comes with thicker anti-roll bars front and rear, split folding rear seat, fog lights, and p225/55r17 tires to go with the more powerful v6. The driver's confidence package 950) for cxl and cxs includes rear obstacle detection, heated power mirrors, six-way power passenger seat, auto-dimming rearview mirror, universal garage door opener and rear map lights. super 31,310) has the v8, as well as rear obstacle detection, six-way power passenger seat, heated power mirrors, auto-dimming rearview mirror, universal garage door opener, rear spoiler, performance suspension, and p235/50r18 tires. safety features on all models include dual front airbags, head-protecting curtain side airbags, tire-pressure monitor, anti-lock brakes (abs) and traction control. Rear obstacle detection is available on some models and we recommend it because it could alert the driver to someone behind the car when backing up. Stabilitrak electronic stability control is standard on cxs and super and optional on cxl and we recommend it because it can help the driver maintain control. walkaroundthe lacrosse is unmistakably a buick, with its long nose, long slopes and simple body curves. for 2008, the waterfall grille grows in size to resemble that of the new buick enclave (a cue introduced on the 2004 buick velite show car). The hood and front fascia are slightly revised for 2008. at the rear, tiny rear side windows behind the c-pillars add some visual interest, while a discernible dent in the decklid ties the taillamps together and recalls the more adventurous surface development that characterized buicks of the early 1960s. A single, slender chrome spear decorates the doors. Xm satellite radio shares a single antenna with the standard onstar system. cx models can be identified by a grained, graphite-color finish on the rocker panels underneath the doors, while this panel is body color on other models. The body, door, and fender gaps are all noticeably smaller than on the previous regal and century models. And lacrosse's headlamps are said to be 35-percent brighter. to improve crash safety and reduce noise, buick uses generous amounts of expensive, high-strength steel, including steel reinforcements in the rocker panels, high-strength steel door beams, and a double-thick quiet steel floor pan and firewall. There's also an interlocking door latch system, a magnesium cross beam behind the instrument panel, another cross beam behind the rear seats, and structural foam in the front fenders. interiorthe lacrosse cabin is roomy and comfortable and exudes a look of quality. Interior quality and appearance are enhanced by reducing the number of individual trim pieces, which makes everything fit better and gives the cabin a richer, higher-grade look. the front bucket seats are comfortable with plentiful headroom and legroom. This is the standard lacrosse configuration and we prefer it: five-passenger seating with front bucket seats separated by a center console, and a leather-wrapped floor shifter. however, a six-passenger option is available for the cx and cxl that substitutes a front bench seat. The front bench seat is split 40/20/40 and has a flip-and-fold center back cushion that can be converted into a center console/armrest with a large storage bin and dual cup holders. The shifter is mounted to the steering column on six-passenger models. back-seat passengers will find the lacrosse comfortable. Rear-seat legroom is generous, thanks to a relatively long wheelbase of 110. 5 inches. We found that a 6-foot, 4-inch passenger can sit behind a 6-foot, 4-inch driver with plenty of room to spare. in front of the driver are three round instrument dials ringed in chrome and set into a deeply tunneled instrument panel. The instrument graphics light up in blue in the super model. It's all very nicely presented, and relatively sporty looking. the center stack is finished a mica-flecked flat black. On the super model it's finished in silver. The trip computer and driver information center are easy to put through their menus. However, the information panel is so glossy that we found it hard to read in early morning or late afternoon light. The dashboard is decorated in a light woodgrain pattern. Super models have a darker woodgrain. Super models also get unique floormats, metal sill plates, and a seat insert pattern called dreamweave. buick applied its quiet tuning treatment to reduce noise throughout the car. Quiet tuning uses specially engineered parts and adds sound insulation in the engine, on the firewall, under the toeboard, inside the wheelwells and in the roof. It's a school of thinking that makes lacrosse one of the quietest cars in the class. onstar, xm satellite radio, and a remote starting system that will work from up to 500 feet away make the lacrosse a pleasure to live with. the trunk has a ge.
