2007 Buick LaCrosse CXL 3.8L V6 from North America
Summary:
Best car I've ever had!
Faults:
ABS harness. Harness was already damaged when I bought the car, got it repaired, then it broke again a couple months later. I've just left it alone.
Engine eats through oil, which apparently is very common with this series of the 3.8L V6 (Series III). I always keep a quart of oil in my trunk for when the "low oil" indicator comes on the dash.
General Comments:
I love this car, and purchased it for a steal ($6500 with only 68k at the time, car was 8 years old). The car is now 10 years old and so far has been extremely reliable. The 3.8L V6 really is a fantastic engine and can last 200k+ if you take care of it. Hopefully mine will!
The car has a very floaty ride. Lots of body roll during turns and handling is a little sloppy, but it's an old school Buick, what do you expect.
Extremely comfortable seats.
Acceleration is just right for the size and kind of car. Obviously it's poorer when the A/C is on.
Very elegant styling. Mine's red with tan leather and the Chrome Package. I get compliments on it once in a while!
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

Buy yourself a new Avalon. Not only will you love it, but it's also an American car, unlike that Buick that was built in Canada.
