Pros: What do you like about 2006 Buick LaCrosse?
Low profile.
Driver controls in close reach.
Outer style.

Cons: How would you improve 2006 Buick LaCrosse?
I'm on my second Lacrosse and I love it, but the car's tranny has been unreliable in both of my cars.
The wheel bearings constantly need to be replaced and there are problems with the radiator that needs to be serviced every other week because the heat stops working.
The car could use an RDS as well and a 6spd tranny. Once a Nissan Murano outperformed this car on the expressway--that was a double black-eye on GM's face and mine.
Heat in the back seat for the kids would be good, too.
Perhaps better fuel economy could help the wallet for a 3.6 sedan (because of wheel bearings that keep going out).
My door recently stopped closing shut (WTF, right).

2006 Buick LaCrosse Review:
I love the car but GM needs to go back to the drawing board and come up with something that can actually compete with a German/Japanese/Korean sedan. They've got two years to stack reliability and performance on this car.

I love the styling of the car--they should've left this alone on the '10 LaCrosse. I hope the new one is better but I think I will wait to see what people say before I buy the new model LaCrosse.

I would not recommend this model to someone who is looking for a reliable car--you're better off getting a BMW, Mercedes, Lexus, or Acura.

Pros: What do you like about 2006 Buick LaCrosse?
The size. When driving it just feels like it's a perfect size for us.

Cons: How would you improve 2006 Buick LaCrosse?
Dual exhaust on all models, not just the CSX. Also a sun roof that retracts into the headliner. This outer one increases road noice when open, unlike my former Riviera which was whisper quiet when open.

2006 Buick LaCrosse Review:
Basically this is an excellent car. A+ on style, comfort and performance. Too bad the 3800 is going away as an engine choice.

2006 Buick LaCrosse Review:
Excellent car at a great value for available features. I have received multiple compliments from people who have driven inside it. Mainly that the interior and appearance are of a much more expensive car.
