2015 Buick LaCrosse Premium review notes - Autoweek

Impressive interior, but lacks in the drive department. DIGITAL EDITOR ANDREW STOY: Attractive in a bland sort of way, the Buick LaCrosse delivers a lot of features and one of GM’s nicest interiors south of Cadillac , but really falls short on the driving experience. Once again, GM’s high-feature 3. 6-liter V6 is flaccid unless you really get into the pedal, after which it turns thrashy. tiny inputs cause the LaCrosse to dart all over the interstate. Yet for all those distractions, the LaCrosse delivers on its premium promise inside. Buick gave this sedan a gorgeous Jaguar-like band of wood that curves across the dash and down both doors, helping the interior feel both airy and cozy at the same time. I had the LaCrosse on a 15-degree morning and it warmed up fast, got the cabin comfortable and was ready to go before I left my house. Still, the interior isn’t nearly enough to justify more than a cursory glance at the LaCrosse for most, especially with a $46,500 price tag attached. the Dodge Charger/ Chrysler 300 are far nicer full-size cars to drive, the Toyota Avalon delivers an even more premium interior, and even within the GM family, the Chevrolet Impala offers more bang for the buck.
