2005 Buick Lacrosse replaces my 2002 Mercury Sable
Pros:
If I drive the Lacrosse reasonably, the mileage is comparable to my Sable trade-in.
Cons:
The Goodyear Integrity OEM tires had to be replaced by the dealer. Wouldn't balance right.
The Bottom Line:
Forget the imports! At least try the Buick Lacrosse AND COMPARE!

Author's Review
GM has produced a great vehicle in the Lacrosse. My friends who love to brag about their Camrys and Camry clones are quieter now that they've experienced the Lacrosse. It is the smoothest, quietest car I've ever owned!
I loved my 3.0 V6 Mercury Sable trade-in, for the most part, but I've learned that the Buick 3.8 V6 has what I've been looking for. When I drive the highways I love to sit back and let the cruise control do the work. The problem with the Sable was that on hilly terrain the 3.0 nearly jerks you out of your seat trying to adjust the speed for uphill driving. The 3.8 Lacrosse has the extra power needed to smoothly make those uphill speed adjustments without the whiplash. Wow!
The fit and finish of the body and interior parts is also better than any car I've owned (mostly chevys, I admit).
My Lacrosse is one of the limited production "Gold Edition" models with the spoiler, gold front and rear trim, and side decals. Classy looking car!! It was two years old when I traded for it, but had been very well cared for. And, the best news is that it only had 10,000 miles on it, and was a GM Certified used car!
