Autos.ca video test-drive of the 2017 Buick LaCrosse Premium AWD. This one stands out as a highly competent long-haul cruiser that's big on quiet and comfort.
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 on 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!
I just discovered your video's, Justin. While this was filmed 6 mos. ago, I really appreciated the review. I've been considering the Lacrosse for several months now. Thanks for the video reviews you offer.
I have a 2010 lacrosse 143 000 km Never ever seen snow... Mint condition... Looks like a new car ! I love it !!! In about 5 years I would love to pick up a 2017 model up.
The Avalon would be on my list if it had AWD. There is only one thing I wish the LaCrosse had and that was 3 more speakers and 300 more watts of power.
Nice job here, Justin. Always enjoy your thorough, but fast-moving reviews. Nice car too. Good at its intended purpose. Now, if only GM will see fit to put the (404 hp) 3.0TT V6 from the Cadi CT6 under the hood of a Lacrosse SS. It's already got the suspension and light weight to make more than good use of a power upgrade. C'mon, GM! Give those of us hitting the big 4-oh this year something to aspire to...
The new LaCrosse looks pretty good, the rear end could use some more love though. Also, while the interior is generally nice, that large slab of black plastic that flows up to the center stack looks kind of blah. Nice all rounder though.
I have a 2014 premium this car is beautiful no sun roof I'm bold perfect but have everything In it and more red exterior and tan chocolate interior leather heated and air seats it goes on and on and power in this car wow great car👍👍
KingsofShadows1500 But most folks in the US and Canada are going to say 'coupe', as in 'coop'. That's the way it's always been and there's no need or desire to say 'coo-pay'.
John Smythe It really doesn't matter what most people will say; ''coop'' is the wrong way of saying it. It's ''coupé''. Saying it any other way makes you wrong.
Yeah, KingofShadows, it DOES matter what people say. They don't see it as a French word, and when told, don't give a shit. So we're 'wrong' per proper French? What have we lost? The English call the word 'aluminium' and Americans say 'aluminum'. Nobody is gonna change and what have we lost? Thats some shit you need to let go of, because, again, nobody will change.
John Smythe No, it does not. Language has rules and those rules are meant to be followed. It's not about losing anything; it's simply about correct pronunciation. Incorrect pronunciation is annoying and makes me and many other people cringe, so I don't care whether people will change or not: I will still call them out for saying words the wrong way (at least when it's socially acceptable, which means online). Your logic doesn't make sense; it's basically saying that we should just give up and adjust language according to popular mistakes. If we applied that mentality to grammar and spelling, no language would be recognizable fifty years from now. What's so hard about making one bit of extra effort and learning how to spell or pronounce words properly?
KingofShadows Again, like it or not, Americans who speak Standard American English, are not bound by the rules of the French language. We've called coupes 'coops' for so long, we're NEVER GOING TO CHANGE. You coming on here with 'coo-pay' clearly hasn't garnered much support. Nobody cares. Per the rules of Queens English, we should call four door cars 'saloons' but instead call them 'sedans'. Does that get you up in arms? My logic makes perfect sense, and just because you disagree doesn't mean I'm wrong. Does this debating style ever work for you? I doubt it. You mentioned 'no language would be recognizable fifty years from now'. Well guess what? English from the 1700s is so completely different from now, it's almost unrecognizable. Languages CHANGE, or didn't you know that? Get over your attempts to play Internet English Teacher (French Specialty). Nobody will change.
