I agree, I was very impressed. I think Buick was making some great cars. Sad they only have Regals now. Looks like they are bringing back the Envision minivan too but that's it. Thanks for watching.
@@jc3812 that's good to hear. I really enjoyed driving it. Thank you very much for watching the video. Please subscribe to my channel, I'm hoping to do more Buick reviews in the next few weeks
@@FreddySherman I bought the car from a used dealership in town that would do inspections every year. So far from all of last year to now there were no serious maintenence problems that I had to fix. Mostly replacing wiper blades, filling/drain oil and wiper fluid, repaint the exterior coat from chips, etc. But most of the time it's vacuuming and waxing it. Would get my parts from either Napa nor from local GM dealers who are extremely nice.
@@FreddySherman Unfortunately it's front wheel drive, would've have liked a AWD option but it was only one on the lot. At least it has a traction control button that I would leave on. Plus it's has a V6 engine much of an upgrade to V4.
Thanks for your comment as it made me research the current Buick sedan situation. I believe they only sell them in China now, correct? From what I have read online, they have no plans to sell them in North America. It's surprising they don't do it, given they are already making them in China and they already make their SUVs in China and then ship them to the US.

@@FreddySherman They do sell in them China. As for Opel and Vauxhall under GM they stop re badging them til 2017-2020 in Europe and Austrilla. They were british and german version of Buick
@@ianlabar6255 Thanks for the info. I've always thought it was crazy as Buick has been a very American brand, yet they were making these cars and SUVs in China for years. It's a bit deceptive as many people bought Buicks because they wanted to "buy American"!
I agree. I thought it really gave you a lot for your money and just the ride and experience inside was like a fancy luxury car. Too bad Buick stopped making them!! Thanks for watching and please subscribe to my channel.
I agree. To me, you need the mass of a larger sedan to really have a comfortable ride. This car was amazing, although I would get the AWD. It was very, very quiet. Unfortunately, Buick only makes SUVs now. Thanks for watching and please subscribe to my channel!
@@keithclark8030 it did have a little bit of that front wheel drive torque steer which I hate. Also I always recommend you get a certified pre-owned with a warranty.
That's the feature a lot of new cars have, the engine turns off when you're like at a stoplight or stopped in traffic and then when you push the accelerator it turns back on.
@Nostalgic Enigma This one does do that and it's smooth. Others seem to wait until you touch the accelerator and are very jerky. Thanks for watching and please subscribe! I wish Buick still made cars (not just SUVs).
Looks nice. Surprised though that the rear window shade isn’t wider. I watched it rise and thought ... strange, plenty of space on both sides to let the sun beat in 😒
Thanks for watching, interesting point. I was here in Palm Springs it was 120 degrees and the sunshade was fine. The window has slanted sides so it's a compromise as it would have been expensive to make a custom, perfectly fitting one.
@@FreddySherman And charged thousands more in the actual transaction price because of that customized fitted rear sunshade. Not just because of that shade but you get my point.
I've had a 2015 for a few yrs, now it is time to get the last example and enjoy the end of a great car. 2018 for the win
Was 2018 the last year? Now they only make SUVs.
Thanks for watching.
I think the Buick LaCrosse (especially the 2017s and newer) are underrated, very beautiful. Virtually a luxury car.

I drive a 2017 premium lacrosse. I have had it over a year with no problems. It is a very nice luxury sedan.

Love the Buick Lacrosse '18 model. I have the Essence trim but without the sunroof, In Red coat and beige interior seating
Very cool. Is it hard to get it serviced since they don't see cars only SUVs? Thanks for watching and please subscribe!

@@ianlabar6255 very smart. Is yours the all-wheel drive? This one I reviewed was front-wheel drive and I'm not a fan of front-wheel drive cars

@@FreddySherman Sadly in china yes for most of the sedans under the Buick badge.
@@ianlabar6255 I think they only sell them in China, do they still sell them as Opel in Europe?

Love this sedan large sedans could make a comeback?? Suvs are becoming boring ? With awd as standard could be no probs ?

I have been looking at the premiums. Looks sharp.
Thanks for watching. I thoroughly enjoyed it, nice level of luxury. If I remember correctly, this had FWD and I would recomment getting the AWD model.
@@FreddySherman If there is not too many miles, I would consider an AWD.
@@keithclark8030 it did have a little bit of that front wheel drive torque steer which I hate. Also I always recommend you get a certified pre-owned with a warranty.
@@FreddySherman Thank you sir.
Bello
Gracias, I agree!
Thanks for watching and subscribe por favor.
Great video, thanks for all your insight!
Thanks for watching, I enjoyed driving the car. I'm hoping to review more Buicks over the next few months.
whats auto start/stop?
That's the feature a lot of new cars have, the engine turns off when you're like at a stoplight or stopped in traffic and then when you push the accelerator it turns back on.
@@FreddySherman oh thats what its called...my mother traded her toyota avalon in for this car today so i figured id watch a review.
@@heel4reel387 Cool. It's a really nice car, I liked driving it. I hope she enjoys it.

Luxury Fred ... good to know. 👍
Difference between a Buick and an Audi / BMW / MBZ. They would have it custom-shaped to match window shape.

@@jdm1039 To me, that's the difference between a luxury car and a non-luxury car
