22 years old and I think this Buick looks really good.
+9/11 insidejob Currently Buick has the least problems out any American car. 3rd under Lexus and Porsche. And it is the only American car to make it in consumer reports top 15 reliability rating, at 7
55 years old and this Buick puts me to sleep! Performance car it isn't. Nice interior though.
I'm also 22 and I drive a LaCrosse.
Michael
Buy it when you are 62 years old.
Don't come and say that Buick is an old mans car because thats just bullshit. I am a Young guy and I want this Lacrosee badly just gorgeous car.
I bought this car recently, it only takes me seconds to make up my mind to buy it, it's so beautiful and the interior is luxury and comfortable, i can't wait to drive it home!!
Buick has REALLY come a long way. This is an impressive, beautiful car.
I purchased a fully loaded 2017 Lacrosse with the premium trim level and couldn't be happier. I absolutely love the way it rides and handles, especially with the sport setting on. It has so many options I'm having a blast learning them all. It is by far the quietest, best riding, and best driving car I have ever owned. It handles like a dream on any road I’ve throw at it, has plenty of power, gets excellent gas mileage and is super comfortable for long trips. And I think it is the most stylish car on the market, not gaudy but sophisticated in its looks and styling. I tested a number of competitive models from Lexus, Kia, Hyundai, Nissan, Acura, BMW and Lincoln and they just didn't compare to this car on features for the price and in many other ways. Anyone wanting a luxurious, quiet, great handling car, with plenty of power may want to take a look at the Lacrosse!
What are your thoughts on it 6 years later?
@@ElricX fantastic car. So reliable. The engine is still amazing. Powerful, smooth running, and no oil consumption.
@@WilliamAbbate no way you responded your message from six years ago. I thought you wouldn't even see it
@@WilliamAbbate Good to know. It’s still one of the most stylish sedans around as of 2024, in my opinion. The ST and Avenir trims look amazing. They are pretty rare too. It’s sad that they’re discontinued.
@@FabienTeulieres93 I so agree with you! It is a great looking car and the only reason I’m leaving Buick is because they stopped making sedans.
damn, the best part is the price, at 32K its a huge value proposition yet it still offers a nicer interior and ride than the MKZ, MKS, RLX, and TLX. well done buick.
the model he drove is the 50k model.
TruthFLA and the RLX starts at 55K the continental starts at 45K a fully loaded lacrosse tops out at 50K. so whats your point?
+justin bouche you mentioned 32k as a good value proposition. no one wants the base model. most want the higher end model. if you are asked to drop 50k, most will opt for Aisan Lux over a Buick. its only a great value if its cheaper not if its the same or more.
50K with every option is damn good, the fact is you can get a loaded lacrosse for 45K (this one has some "other options" (like floor mats things like that) so yes, when you can get amid-entry level luxury car with every option for less than 50K while every one else will shoot up to 60 - 70K thats a damn good bargain.
I have to agree, I've been looking at a ton of new cars lately and have been eyeing the new Merc. CLA line but this new LaCrosse is pulling me towards Buick. The price is on point too.
Start/stop is a huge turn-off
hopefully buick will come a super model with a 420 hp 430 lb twin turbo v6 and all wheel drive, this exactly be a dream creative sleeper
My God, it's finally happened. That's a US car that I really like! It's just a shame I'm in the UK really...
I'm soooooo OBSESSED with this car 😳😍😍😍😩
Best Buick I've seen in a long time. Love the interior.
love it. I'm buyin American for the 1st time.
The front is Mercedes
The silhouette is Hyundai
The tail is Honda ish
But, no reason it shouldn't work.
I like it very much.
Genesis looks better.
+dobbins2550 He's on Hyundai's bandwagon, every car review from Bentley to Buick he says Hyundai is better it's best to just let him be....lol
keri ellerbe If you say the back of this car looks better than the Genesis your lying.
dobbins2550 Oh so your the one who talks down on foreign cars, right? Be my guest I could CARE LESS about what you say I was simply stating my opinion.
keri ellerbe And your wrong I'm definitely not on Hyundai's bandwagon...
BUICK manufacturers, your team is the best. I have the 2012 touring lacrosse V6 and I have owned a bmw, Infiniti, Cadillac, Chevrolet, and I drive my mom's Mercedes-Benz but none touch BUICK. I just feel good behind the wheel. THANKS. PS I'm afraid to test drive this car, I know I would buy it.
Ive had a Century, Lucerne & Lacrosse, never had any problems! Love Buick
I frankly like this Buick; the price undercuts all of its European & even Japanese competition. Yes it isn't sporty, but not everybody wants a bone-jarring & stiff ride. Cadillac used to cater to this market, but has since then left it to chase BMW. It is nice to see the traditional large American luxury FWD cruisers still alive, even if the market segment it caters to is small & shrinking.
amen!
Cadillac has the xts
thuglifezeem716
Judging by the recent direction of Cadillac, the XTS days are numbered. Since the large CT6 arrived & the CTS being a well received midsize luxury sedan, the XTS really has no reason to stay.
It will live out its life and be discontinued. From GM: "XTS production is scheduled to last until at least 2018 and possibly 2019 before being phased out, according to three people familiar with General Motors' plans."
I think it's illegal to drive a Buick 4 door in Florida if you're under 70 .
I HAVE BEEN WAITING AND WAITING FOR THIS REVIEW! I am so excited!
Thanks for posting this one. I've had trouble sleeping lately and this video cured me. Best nights rest I've had in weeks.
I love my old 2005 Buick LaCrosse sooooo much. However, I have to admit my budget is the only thing preventing me getting one of these. It looks really sharp. I hope this model has that same tendency to break in like a pair of nice shoes as the one I have now.
You guys are the first to put a video review of it! Love your dedication!
Great looking car, but the 2010 to 2016 La Crosse is a design masterpiece in its sculpting. But they can't say that, have to be forward thinking.
cars are getting low wide and long again!? AWESOME!
it was about time this super tall phase slowed down...
When driving a car like this....you lean towards the center of the interior
The wipers and lower front fascia are learnings from the original Volt. Makes me proud to own one and see that our taxpayer, and the companies investments in the Volt actually did have a real world impact.
It looks a lot like the new Malibu but they both look absolutely beautiful! Good job Gm!!! 😃👍🏻
Roman I can't believe you didn't point out that they brought back the colors in the Buick emblem! This is the first new Buick with the red white and blue shields in a very long time! Looks so much better than the cheap monochrome logo!
This is a beautiful car I love it in this maroon color and the rear end is seductive lol
I actually love it. I like gm, never too fond of Buick, but this one definitely has my eye.
Was gawking at this exact model at my local GM dealership. Fantastic car. I like it.
Give it a V8 and rear wheel drive and THEN it will be a true flagship luxury car.
Gotta go to cadillac for that one
+matthebest018 Cadillac doesn't even have a v8 in their flagship car lol
TIGER x GAMING Cts-V? Escalade?
Sounds like Genesis
***** Regardless a V8 is coming to it shortly but i'm fairly certain there V is the flagship
I have driven the previous model and it is a fantastic car, very quiet, ideal for every day driving without feeling tired. The engine has more than enough power, can be interesting the 1.5 litres with turbo. This car is about quiteness, comfort and entry level luxury.
amazing car ... thanks TFLcar for being the first to upload this. i am 30 but I would love to buy this car.
SWEET!!! I have a 2006. This is my 4th or 5th Buick.....always a great ride.
Buick Hit a homerun with this one. Cadillac XTS, Chevy Impala, way to go America you finally have woken up!!!
This big beautiful Buick gets the same MPG or better as a VW New Beatle. Damn. Bravo GM. Keep it coming!
As an old man in a 24 year old body I have to say I like this car. I would buy mine in black though instead of that Aarp red.
GM's 3.6-L is the best they got.
They use it in virtually everything and it takes regular unleaded.
Did they fix the timing cover leaks that have plagued the 3.6 since it came out?
The front end kinda looks like a Benz
It reminds me more of the Volvo S60 than a Benz to be honest.
Definitely
the back in reminds me more of volvos sedans
+Christopher Mcginnis o yes thats the best part of the car
Definitely and the rear is a copy of the volvo s90.
My god, this looks miles better. Wow!
I like the tail lights
the impala and the lacross are like cousins right
Yep!
absolutely
willis jordan actually they do not share the same platform. The Impala in 2018 or 2019 will be built on The Lacrosse platform
willis jordan beautiful cousins at that!!!
Yes, and the Cadillac CTS
6:44 Admittedly, I wasn't that impressed until I saw that trunk release. That was pretty cool. It's a small detail, but I love it. Why didn't anyone else do that before?
first! nice looking Car! ish they had a V8 version :)
Just add 2 more cylinders
I have a 2012 Buick Verano and I love it! I'm 26, but I think I might consider a used one of this or the Camaro for my next car.
It's not bad at all for the price, but European luxury is still much more impressive.
Buick is more of a premium brand then Luxury
Well, it's not intended to compete with anything high-end Europe luxury car. That said, being 1/2 the price of any similarly equipped European luxury car is actually pretty freaking impressive. In the last few years, I've really become less and less impressed with European luxury car and now see them as disgustingly overpriced, while these value luxury cars like the Genesis and the Lacrosse have blown me away with how much they offer for so little money.
European cars are now far over rated than ever. The majority of made in North America are just as good and better in many cases. It is too bad we don't have but one luxury automaker here, Cadillac. Lincoln just isn't cutting it yet. I know they are trying, but I think I remember them saying they don't want performance luxury. They wanted to be the Lincoln of the past focusing on comfort and conveniences. That leaves Chrysler products, which if you take out the 300m, there is no other luxury in the US.
I prefer the quiet sedans, but everyone is going to large low profile tires which counter the soft ride. Gonna have to test drive this one. Thanks for the review.
why don't yall ever review tesla
+James Clark Tesla does not provide cars to the press for reviews so we don't review them.
It would be entertaining though
Electric motor, Gas engine.
demented moose Never heard of an electric engine.....
I've been waiting for this.
Congratulations on creating another generic bubble car in gray, of course!
very nice car, I love the dash design. seat bottoms look nice too.
BUICK got the front end right. Then the back end looks less impressive.
tight in front and sagy in the back..😆
I'm surprised how much I like it!
Being a longstanding Buick fan (well, longstanding for a 21 year old anyway) I must say I'm glad to see the trishield colours return. But I hate the taillights and they should give that thing a trunk. Otherwise it seems very nice.
The new model is a huge improvement but I prefer the classic Buick waterfall grill on the older model. Hoping that it comes back for the mid cycle refresh.
Now only if Buick got off their butts and finally remake the Riviera. I had a 1997 Riv and my dad had a '67 and I loved my modern styling along with his raw power. I would buy one of Buick ever started making the Riviera again.
The new Buick Lacrosse is really nice mid size luxury car!
Beautiful car and color!
Buick bout 6 years ago said they wanted to get a younger buyer and their cars reflected that. Nowadays I feel they have regressed back to their old ways of design. It's nice but no one younger than 50 is going to want to buy this...
14.2 cubic feet.... That's relatively small for a full sedan. But the styling is unique and luxurious
Hey Roman I have a idea for you guys for a future mash up, 2017 Buick lacrosse vs 2016 Chevy Malibu premier
so it's basically a stretched Opel Insignia, can't be bad at all. Though for a car that size, a V8 or blown V6 would be a nice extra
TFL needs to review the tech more. I want to know about the stereo, the heads up display, the USB ports. Step up your tech game TFL. Thats why I enjoy watching Brian Cooley from CNET
3.6 engine had problems with timing chain not able to last over 100k, hope they fixed it
Excellent review especially after the 9:30 minute mark, nice car.
The shifter lever looks like it returns to center. I see a Jeep like shifter recall when people think the car is in park but its not.
Actually, GM's electronic shifter system will put the vehicle in park automatically if you open your door to get out. Sources: Chevrolet Bolt.
Nice step up. Back side looks similar to an Azera though
From the profile angle at first glance it almost has a Tesla thing going on there. I'd imagine it would be very different looking in person but some styling queues (or trends) indicate that Buick is at least looking at other makes. Good job Buick and GM! BTW I'm still a Ford/Subaru guy but I'd add a GM to the list for my next car/SUV/crossover buy....
This new Buick reminds me of the cab forward Chrysler designs of the 90's
if been waiting for this one.
It looks like a mix of the new Impalas and a Jaguar... looks nice
Thanks for the review Roman. The front end looks like they borrowed it from the Cascada, which is a good thing. How do you think the AWD version would stack up against the Hyundai Genesis 3.8 HTRAC? That is a car I am interested in looking at, because I like big sedans, but I live near Seattle where AWD is helpful.
Hey Fast Lane, tell me how the ride quality, I realize you touched on comfort, but I think that is from an inside view of the cabin cockpit.
Compared to the 2016 the 2017 doesn't look to have as much suspension travel distance, how do they compare for soaking up the bumps.
Thanks.
old school comfort is a V8 powered leather couch.
When you drove the car did you detect the start/stop working? I test drove the '17 Lacrosse today and made a few stops and never detected if start/stop was working.
This car is impressive. GM is creating a renaissance of engineering.
Where were you guys filming? Looked like Oregon to me.
I like the taillights it's very stylish
love the background music
Thank you I have been getting so sick of every review, even for SUVs, about 0-60 or canyon carving. I'm like there are other people in this world that think about other things from their cars. I am not a Lexus person but I purchased an ES for a quick sale but fell in love with how soft and serene the driving experience was. That kind of luxury has its place and is very valid as these cars start to ride ruffer and ruffer. Buick seems to have made a really nice proposition with this car.
This a product of the media controlling people’s minds, we are told performance and sport are what is hot even though on a daily drive you will never need that. People need quiet, soft, comfortable ride with good fuel economy.
are you in seattle or tacoma washington in this video? looks so much like places i know here.
If Hyundai and Kia can claim their rebadged cars as part of the 'luxury' segment, certainly this Buick model is worthy of that same category.
I think Buick's biggest challenge with enticing modern sedan shoppers has always been in the looks department. I'm glad to see that they've finally done substantial something to address that (just look at how many Optimas instantly appeared on the road upon design even though they were all FWD four bangers that had K.I.A. written on it). No, it's not a Lamborghini but, as far as sedans are concerned, this is finally an option worth considering.
I'd buy one of these AWD models tomorrow, if I were in the market. However, if they offer another 'Super' edition that isn't FWD (what an embarrassment that was), I'd be calling the dealership right now to reserve one in red.
Welcome back to the party, Buick. Now that your here, try to keep up.
This car looks so much better. Especially with the smaller A pillars.. GM should've put smaller A pillars on the new Camaro.
i think they went after mercedes with the exterior design, and they did a hell of a job making it look nice.
When are they gonna grow a par and build the Buick Avista?
You shoulda asked him WTF?
"Hey, WTF man?"
They made the car lower, but the (probably older) buyer who is looking for comfort and luxury will not necessarily be thrilled about that.
When you force them- Car Makers can make these major Improvements..
First time GM has done a start/stop engine? Didn't Saturn when it existed have it? Didn't the e-Assist engine have that? Or is he saying that this car does not have extra batteries and is a new implementation of start-stop?
3:14 Beans :-) BTW, the car's profile is like a Chevy Malibu. Also, it doesn't look like the seat provides much side/hip support; which has been an unfortunate Buick trademark for many years. :(
it looks like a volvo s60...pretty good lookin
My thoughts exactly.
+ Mercedes-Benz American style, what happened to being original
those door mirrors look like the old school bullet sport mirrors from the 70s-80s
Roman, you remind me of an American Jeremy Clarkson, while being more respectable.
I really enjoy your reviews
This is the first Buick I think looks good since the GNX.
Grandpa never had a Buick that nice or fast.
Now Buick needs to add just a bit more backseat legroom for the Regal and more speed.
the front looks like a scaled-up Mercedes Benz CLA.
the sides reminds me of the old Hyundai Azera
only the rear-end that looks to be original for me..
but anyhow i love its design over-all compared to its predecessor
*my mistake, the rear-end reminds me of the 2016 Volvo S90
What a beautiful car!
man this car looks good. Makes me regret buying a Toyota. One thing I'm always worried about it the long-term reliability of these cars, which unfortunately, only time will tell
how many times does he say fuel economy? I don't think luxury car buyers primary concern is fuel economy.
there are plenty of people worried about fuel, if you weren't, you would buy the Infiniti. not everyone needs a rocket ship.
Mine would be, and looks. What's your primary concern?
He does that, because he is a terrible horrible reviewer, one of the worst I've ever seen. He can't gather his thoughts, actually he is just not well prepared. Full of random thoughts, nothing clicks with this guy.
mason methot Really? I'm surprised but that is your needs so nothing wrong with it. To me if mpg is you concern why not a Volt or Malibu Hybrid? I'm just honestly curious on you thoughts because clearly I was wrong with my statement. I guess why this car over other hybrids or more efficient cars? Again I'm not trying to be a jerk but rather actually understand because I am surprised by your answer. Thank you
Happy15Panda I guess why this over a Lexus ES? Do you just find the Lexus styling ugly? Honestly just curious because I guess that would be the car in this segment I would get. Again that's just me so everyone is different
Beautiful car
