( www.TFLcar.com ) The 2014 Buick LaCrosse has been updated for next year with a new and less fussy interior and more progressive exterior styling. In other words, Buick is trying to make the cars more youthful and luxurious at the same time. Recently Roman had the chance to travel to rural Kentucky and drive the entire Buick Line-up. Perhaps more importantly he had the chance to chat with the chief engineer in charge of the refreshed 2014 Buick LaCrosse. In another fun and informative TFLcar review, Roman gets to know the big Buick sedan better, in fact this video is everything that you ever wanted to know about the new 2014 Buick LaCrosse Review.

@rrutter81 10 лет назад

went car shopping last weekend. im 33 and a proud owner of a lacrosse. most of you have never even ridden in one let alone driven one. it was either this or the mercedes c-class sedan.

@MrKylesich 9 лет назад

I know the ride is so smooth

@marsh713 6 лет назад

22 years old and just purchased this same car! 3rd lacrosse I’ve owned

@jadarobinson8367 3 года назад

i really wanna get one, can you tell me how you like them?

@levijones8942 2 года назад

@@jadarobinson8367 I just purchased one and I really like it. It’s a very comfy car. I have the hybrid one and usually get 32mpg.

Watched this vid and bought a loaded LaCrosse as my bucket list car. Shopped the other brands, E class, Infinity, Lexus etc. My car has Apple Car Play and Android Auto. Not avail in '16 on any of the others. 3 years later I'm loving this car. Drove it NC to Disney World and it was so smooth and comfortable. Love the AC seats in the summer. MB has nothing on this car except outrageous service costs. My dealer treats me awesome and has just as nice a waiting room. It was a huge mistake GM cancelled the LaCrosse because they need a marque sedan, not just SUV's. Keeping mine for many years. Thanks Buick for such a great product!

@TFLcar 10 лет назад

Actually, Roman says he worked as hard as possible to review the 2014 Regal, Encore and LaCrosse in the few hours he had with the new cars. Video production takes a very long time and the TFL team worked miracles to get all of these cars done in one morning.

@Tampa0123456789 10 лет назад

I am laughing at all the comments about price. It clearly shows many of you haven't been looking for a new car lately. Hyundias now will set you back $50,000 Caddies CTS are bumping up against $70,000 Corvets pushing $70,000 Corollas and Civics are now in the 30s and I don't even want to know what a German entry level will cost.

@Deadbass_ 8 лет назад

Thank you, someone actually said it! Lol People don't seem to understand cars in general are raising prices. I literally would see comments like, "this isnt 45k, it should be 29k or 31k," thats merely a price of a Civic or Camry, in the base model too

@itsjusticemarie2018 4 года назад

I just bought this car today love it

@aleshaweather9429 3 года назад

Hello you haven’t had any problems with your car I’m thinking about buying me a Buick LaCrosse I been doing my research on it

Still wishing for that 2015 Buick Grand National!

@MichaelBrown-kq6cc 7 лет назад

I'm driving a 2015 one now for a rental I love it I'm thinking about buying me one..

@Sheldonwh 10 лет назад

I just bought one of these, and the $45k quote here is a bit deceptive. If you got ALL of the extra bells and whistles, it could get up to that prices. But most people don't want or need things like blindspot alert, park assist, back-up camera, etc. I got a Navigation system, leather seats, and a few other extras, and it barely came up to $40k. If I'd stripped it bare, it would have been in the mid $30s. This is a VERY nice car for the money.

@Querencias7 10 лет назад

Good point. Totally agree, especially being a VERY nice car!

@SkySkrapinEnt 9 лет назад

good lookin car, like the redesigned front a lot. i'm a Lincoln guy and would drive one of these.

@sbkstereo 10 лет назад

test drove the impala bought the lacrosse. very happy with the car.

@misterjgl 10 лет назад

@Acuravigor47 I am in my 30s also and I agree, with you so far as to the price I like Lacrosse also but I have done reviews on it not the 2014 but the 2009-2013 and not heard the great Reliability on the Lacrosse in fact they said that the CTS had higher. With all of that being said I had test drove the Lacrosse that the drive is a little soft. Then I test drove the Regal and it had a tighter grip. If you plan to stay in the Buick Family I would test drive the Regal the plain and Turbo version....Good Luck

@ATLOffroad 10 лет назад

I'm 32 and would enjoy driving a LaCrosse around, especially on a road trip. My income just doesn't allow me to spend 45k on a car right now.

@topdollarcloud707 3 года назад

I got a 2007 Buick Lacrosse CX. the 3800 series 3 is a very quick motor.

@jennyzamudio2 10 лет назад

Looks good

@evanganske9240 10 лет назад

That's your opinion (besides cheaper). I actually think that the Lacrosse looks way better than even the XTS!

@ashleysparks1755 10 лет назад

I'm in love

@TTM719 4 года назад

It sucks that you get such a small trunk in this car for it's class. You can get a Chevrolet Impala which is in the same class as this car and get more trunk room for hauling cargo.

@jdb19561 9 лет назад

Picking mine up Friday after Thanksgiving....got a "Black Friday" deal...knocked $9100.00 off the sticker. Am trading in my 2012 2LT RS Camaro. I wanted a car that is as smooth and quiet as my Ram Laramie Longhorn.!

@TheJackMac909 10 лет назад

One of Americas better car...

@jacobreed47 10 лет назад

I'm In my mid 30s and just purchased a 2012 Enclave. Its been great and I have not a single complaint except wanting to fall asleep while driving it because its so comfortable. I'm in the market for a Lacross for a daily driver but the price is too high and I make good money! Other comments posted state that is 3 series price range or even Audi price range. I have to agree with them. Us younger people like these new Buicks, just the price is too steep for an entry level luxury brand.

@bluecement 10 лет назад

Was expecting more out of this review. How does it ride? Road noise etc. You can tell Roman doesn't really care for this car. Personally, I love a smooth riding, quiet vehicle with enough power to get out of the way. This is close but I think if I had the wallet for what fit that bill it would be an S-Class.

What exactly is the buick lacrosse from 2014 to 2016 the one with bose system, sunroof,heads up display, and the led head lights and heated and cool front seats? Is it Buick lacrosse premium? Premium 1 or premium 2

@chrismorales147 3 года назад

Premium ll comes with the 20in rims

@evanganske9240 10 лет назад

I think GM should put a 2.5L I4 (VVT and iVLC) and eAsisst, Regen. Brakes and Start/Stop with 202HP and 191TQ and a 2.8L Turbo V6 (VVT, SIDI and AFM) and Start/Stop with 350HP and 360TQ.

@Veyronp87 10 лет назад

wow interior is MUCH better

@njaniesch 9 лет назад

I have the 2010 and I hate the headrest, I feel like my head is being pushed forward, and the ones in the back seat are obnoxious and block the view while backing out. I heard they had changed them in 2014. I never got a confirmation on that.

@lahndee2020 6 лет назад

NANCY J i have a 14' and the head rest are the same as far as pushing head forward.

@MrKylesich 9 лет назад

My sister owned a 2015 435xi. My grandma' owns a 2013 Mercedes c350 and my recently got this Car. I've seen nice cars and have ridden in them and this Car is beautiful. It is fully loaded as loaded as my sisters bmw which she spent just under 70,,000 for. It's so comfortable amazing ride, and the bmw and benz cost more and don't come with rear view Camera or dashboard moonlighting strip. This Car is beautiful and the backseat is huge. The stereo is shit tho on this Car. It's horrible. Other than that it is comparable to the benz and bmw.

@michaelj1232 2 года назад

the vehicle does not have the upgraded 380 watt amp and speakers, i have a 2011 cxl awd and i have almot every option, i ordered the vehicle 41k out the door , and it has awd , and im a retired bmw tech ,,,,worked for them for 20 years , i still have the lacrosse and its still going strong,,,,,,,,,,,the only thing i stated was that the rear seats should have been heated

@PH-dm8hw 9 лет назад

I have this car. Had a question about a light that I don't know what it is for. Went to the manual, it didn't tell me. Came here and they didn't tell me either.

@shondaebaldwin9484 10 лет назад

The only reason why It cost 45 grand is because the accessories and the package that is on the car. I'm getting a LaCrosse pretty soon and mine only cost 42 grand , it go as low as 33 grand. And it is well worth it's money

@GRAFHC 10 лет назад

Average Fuel: 5.6 mpg ...thankfully, not many people peel out at every start. I personally very much like the new Buick line and hope they do well with them. These brands from the past seem to be slowly dying out.

@bluecement 10 лет назад

it's interesting that the impala has power telescopic steering wheel, but the buick has a manual one

@mak450 10 лет назад

I've sat in them both as well, although the Lacrosse was a 2013 way before I sat in the Impala. Didn't seem to me like the dash and IP was any nicer than in the Lacrosse(not an issue at all in my opinion) but if they've improved the Lacrosse's interior for 2014 I'd be willing to bet it's actually got better material quality. The Impala was loaded and was a little over 42k, the Lacrosse was like 38k as equipped, I was way off on the price of a fully loaded model though.

@95thRiflesOCI 10 лет назад

I love how luxury for GM means, sticking on another nameplate and adding a bit more chrome around the exterior. You can save alot more dough buying the other plates then buying something that cost more and has the same reliability.

@imhoteppsm 10 лет назад

I have a question for anyone that can help me out. :) I own a 2014 Buick LaCrosse and still don't totally understand how to change all of the layouts/looks on the instrument cluster. The question I have is this......does anyone know how I can change "the voltage meter" on the instrument cluster to something that shows Acceleration/brakes, etc? I know it can do it because every now and then my car will start up with that screen showing and then it switches back to the voltage meter. I would rather not see the voltage meter.....want a different screen. :) Anyone? Thank you!!

@DevPack 9 лет назад

take it to the dealer. They should help you out.

@michaelj1232 2 года назад

its thru the stalk , you have to go to settings

@coolsterx23 10 лет назад

Theoretically, the V6 is essentially a FWD 4 door luxury camaro unless the AWD model is purchased

@michaelj1232 2 года назад

camaro , no way ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,you really have to be kidding

@wsc31 10 лет назад

Fully loaded this is at best "near luxury" though not a whole lot nearer than the Impala.

@blankerism 10 лет назад

at one time they were and it does exist just not in this part of the world. It exists in China as the Buick Park Avenue. GM WAS considering to bring it over here but that was before the GM bailout. all those plans were scrapped. I've seen photos though of the Park Avenue as it sells in China and its a gorgeous car

@deegraexum1428 10 лет назад

I thought the same thing, 45k for a buick

@hortn123 10 лет назад

Reason for its efficiency and power of GM's V6s is that they are basically tuned HONDA engines. Look it up.

@michaelj1232 2 года назад

smh

@BoberMcBoberson 10 лет назад

Depends on a few things. So yes and no LoL! I work at a place. where we all (except for bosses and what not) make right around the same amount of money between low to mid 20's an hour. And if you look at the parking lot it's a mixed bag LOL! Some of us have very nice cars, and seem to make an ok living, Some of us come to work in 16 year old oil dripping piles, bitching about how they can't make ends meet. so there is my two cents.

@AMDX1325 10 лет назад

Manufacturer representative always gives the generic answers, as a viewer I want HONEST and CRITICAL review of cars (unfortunately, if you are overly truthful, some brand may stop giving you access to their cars :-/). But likewise if the reviews are always sugar coating the product, that is no real review at all.

@BTC909 10 лет назад

At the end of the lease buy out the lease and put it on a consignment lot & let them finance someone. Make some profit on the back end. Mileage & and door dings etc. won't matter. If you can't afford to buy out the lease and float the money for a few months then you shouldn't be driving this car.

@natehiger410 9 лет назад

I would go for this car because it is even cheaper than impala right now.

@michaelj1232 2 года назад

you cant get awd in the impala but could in the buick

@chrismorales147 3 года назад

2014 body style is the BEST body style for a Buick LaCrosse it’s a beautiful vehicle. The newer Lacrosse are ugly the back end especially of the newer ones. Buick GREAT! job for the 2014 Buick LaCrosse.

@chrismorales147 3 года назад

14-16 models 👍🏼⭐️

@water892 10 лет назад

You waste more money with a lease. It's smarter to just buy the car. If you think it's not luxurious or worth the price then don't buy or COMPLAIN!

@grabir01 10 лет назад

FWD now being called AWD? 45k? No thanks.. I will keep my 69 Skylark L77 A body...

@brightivan 10 лет назад

Everything you "Every" Wanted to know???

@buildmorefarms100 10 лет назад

Looks like an over inflated accord!

@MrHottleaded 10 лет назад

I only buy RWD.

@blankerism 10 лет назад

one of the reasons it approaches 45k is because GM added a package that allows you to get it with REAL wood trim like you would with Caddy, Benz, Lexus etc etc. not the fake faux wood you'd get in lower trim models like the CXL and CXS (option is called Ultra Luxury including suede headliner etc). I'm not saying it justifies a higher price point or that its a worthwhile option but its only to explain why the price now stretches beyond 40k

@chrissutera7769 10 лет назад

The impala only goes up to 41k with every single option. If you see an impala thats 44k then thats the dealer marking up the price. I have sat in the impala and the lacrosse and the impala just feels nicer. The design of the cockpit looks more upscale and the materials used feel just as nice if not nicer.

@MisterSchmengie 10 лет назад

I;ll bet this car is really popular in Quebec. Over there, 'LaCrosse' is slang for 'teenage masturbater'. It's true, look it up....

@bluecement 10 лет назад

you can't be serious lol

@kingdarius5252 9 лет назад

I actually like this car. My understanding though is the Lacrosse hasn't been very reliable...electrical problems, even stalling. Maybe these issues have been corrected? Even if it is priced as high as a beginner's Acura, or BMW, those cars are so shitty these days, why even care?

@bighands69 9 лет назад

kingdarius5252 BMW can have problems as well. As do Acura.

@kingdarius5252 9 лет назад

My point exactly. The current 3 series is such a piece of shit it disgusts me

@mak450 10 лет назад

"Nicer" how? Seems like whenever someone uses the word nicer it's so vague. Like it's just an extra adjective put in to help rationalize the fact they prefer one option when they don't have any other reasons. And the reason the Lacrosse is more expensive is probably because of standard equipment, but I've seen the Impala go as high as $44k and a Lacrosse tops out at about $45k. I'd check their sites but Chevy's website never works for me.

@KickoStocks 10 лет назад

Only GM would think that a mess of molded black plastic is luxury

@chrissutera7769 10 лет назад

Just get the new impala. It's actually nicer, better looking, and its cheaper. The only reason to buy a lacrosse is if you need AWD.

@tingokuman 10 лет назад

Impala Is a downgraded Lacrosse the suspension,driveinfo center,options list.the drivetrains are the same but the mounts are different for sound insulation.impala has a bigger trunk that's it

@SlvrWlf88 2 года назад

for those in 2021 this car can be bought for under 10k

@mikewhite2686 2 года назад

Actually they go for 20k or more in good condition

@BTC909 10 лет назад

Roman couldn't WAIT to get out of that car. Buick a "luxury brand" yeah whatever; and that probably explains that bizarre 45K price. If you want one of these lease one or get one that is just off a lease.

@stereoguy8180 10 лет назад

$45 grand? I'll take a BMW 3 series loaded. More space? I'll take a stripped down Audi A6. When I reach the age of 65 maybe then I would buy the lacrosse.

@stephenhendricks6790 10 лет назад

At 66 with a comfortable income I think I'm the most obvious demographic for this car. But have to say that not only would I never buy one, I don't know anyone in my age/economic group who would. Not that I find all GM products unacceptable. I'm rather impressed by the new Impala, for example. Perhaps if I were a Republican from Nebraska...

@Rio-fl2yp 7 лет назад

they talk too much😑

@wmsantiagophotography 10 лет назад

45k for a Buick whoa. Yea Buicks are looking nicer but for that money you could get a real luxury brand, a better warranty and upscale dealer service. I wanted to buy a GMC Acadia, the dealer was horrible, dishonest, and rude same dealer for the Buick.

@austinformedude 10 лет назад

OMG! Almost 50k for this car? Overpriced by 15k. Easy.

@kyles3600 10 лет назад

Drive one...

@drewscott6013 10 лет назад

Still only attractive to people 65 and older. Buick is synonymous with geriatric. Why GM let Pontiac go away is still a mystery to me. Saturn as well. I'm 45 and would never consider this car, unless I was buying it for my grandmother.

@Sheldonwh 10 лет назад

As Kyle said, you should drive one. If you think this is a 15k car, you clearly haven't. It's a very nice car, and has a solid feel to it, like a luxury model. I think people hear the word "Buick," and they won't allow themselves to be rational after that. It reminds me of the fact that Old Spice had to tweak their formula because so many girls said it wasn't romantic; turns out, it reminded them of their dads! LOL

@drewscott6013 10 лет назад

NotYourBusiness Believe me. I understand both of your points, but it is still in the branding. You, Kyle and I, are all getting a little long in the tooth, with the rest of the world that wore acid washed jeans, but, we still want to relate to what makes us "Generation X". "Baby Boomers" might be ready for the Buick label, but I'm not. I want a brand of car that represents me and my era, not "Hand me downs". Just my opinion. BTW Hacky Sack is not DEAD! LOL!
