that moment when a Buick has a better interior than most of Acura's and Lincolns line up. man, Buick has come a long way.
justin bouche knew I would see you here
:O hax how did u find meh????
Acura screwed up their interiors ever since they went with that double screen bs. The only Acura that has a good interior is the NSX
I'd rather be seen in an Acura than a Buick....
is that a counter argument?
Is it strange that I'm 20 and I would buy this car?
Nah, I'm 19, I would drive this! Seems like this car would attract younger buyers to me!
I’m 21 and love this vehicle! About to buy one soon!
I’m 24 and I just bought a used one so not at all haha
I can't deny that the car is beautiful
Had one as a rental a while back. A silky smooth, quiet, unobtrusive, and gentle road car. If you drive a lot of highway miles, it's a great choice.
I just wanna say, I love the passion and joy you have when "lets take this out on this back road here and see how it does" comes through. I feel like if I had the privledge to drive the cars you do, I would react the same way with a smile on my face everytime too. You are genuine for sure. Good reviews, keep up the good work!
props on showing the key, not enough reviewers do it...sounds silly but I like having a nice key, part of the whole package!
classic intro returns! good stuff
Great Review Matt, I like the scenery and setting in the beginning
Great review!...Looking at this online and in print it was just "ok" looking...but I saw one in town this weekend and wow!....looks so much better in person...great 0-60 too
I love your reviews! that's why I just got a 1999 Honda prelude type sh I seen your prelude review and it made me get and I love all your videos, they always make my day. keep doing what your doing (: and you should review a 2009 g37 👌 I like your reactions when you step on it hahaha but keep doing what you're doing 👍
Thanks for bringing back the old intro. I wouldn't buy a LaCrosse new, but in two years picking up a fleet car for 22k will probably happen. Thanks for doing this review, I appreciate your honest but yet overall positive reviews.
Beautiful car 😩💜
Like the original intro a lot more. Good review.
Glad the classic intro is back!
Spectre2300 only on weekends
Spectre2300 what's the name of the instrumental ? Is pretty catchy
Music info is always in the description.
Hell yeah! I love this song and think of Matt everytime I hear it haha
Matt, great review, I don't think you realize how many people watch your reviews on "normal" cars that are a few years old. I love the enthusiast stuff, but I am happy you still do car reviews on a car like this Buick LaCrosse. My neighbor who is elderly, bought one brand new in 2018 is thinking about selling, I never thought I would consider a Buick, but every time he rolls down the block I say wow GM made a real nice car, it just catches my eye and the interior to me is very well done.. Anyway this review is helping me make a decision, if he decides to really sell it. His is loaded and even has All Wheel Drive. Like you I live in PA so All Wheel Drive is nice to have. I also watched your Buick Regal GS review, I know they are different cars, but How would you compare the LaCrosse to the Regal GS. I know the GS obviously handles better, but what about ride, comfort, and interior quality., sound insulation?? Reason I ask another neighbor just got a Lincoln and the Regal GS is just sitting, said he is thinking of selling it. Both of these Buick are impressive in my opinion, LaCrosse looks a bit better, The Regal you can tell sporty, plus has the hatch design instead of a trunk. Anyway, Great reviews, well done.
Love the intro.
Looks amazing
have you ever considered having little sections showing off the taillights and headlights while they are on, since now in days some have some really cool l.e.d or laser lighting
Great review, thanks. The main competitor for the new LaCrosse is the Lexus ES350, it's a tough choice, but I think I'll have to go with the LaCrosse as a win.
that motor sounds damn good
Great review! Would you be able to do a review on the Subaru Crosstrek?
Man you could fit a lot of golf sets in that trunk! I saw one of these recently very handsome exterior. This car would be excellent on a cross country trip. The big seats looked very comfortable.
I'd like to know how the awd performs in sport mode. I think it has torque vectoring
Would you pick this or the new Kia cadenza? With interior, safety tech and during experience which is the best on those
good looking car!
Does it have GMs magnetic ride control?
This new model comes with ambient lighting on door and dash???
this guy loves everything he tests
Best used car for the money. Florida is FULL of them as the elderns love em'. You can pick up a 5 year old LaCross with 15,000 miles for around $12,000 from the original owner. You can get a 10 year old Buick for $4000 in immaculate condition. Almost like off the showroom floor.
Hope you keep this channel intro in all your videos Matt
NICE Review: 2017 Buick LaCrosse Premium
GM finally getting their issues worked out and making good cars again! There's a reason why Buick is the third most reliable car company in the US, only behind Toyota and Lexus.
Love it
This would be a nice investment.
Your a Subaru fan, so what do you think about the new 2018 Subaru Ascent. I would like to see it. Thanks. Roger
Good review. MotorTrend tore this interior apart. It was interesting to see how much you loved it, considering it seems to be getting picked on for quality and cheap plastics.
One of the few good Buicks
Hey subaruwrxfan nice review man 💪🏻👌🏿
I believe you can disable the start/stop by using the sport mode.
review the 2017 Subaru impreza and lincoln continental
I like the video without the glamour shots right after the intro. Good job on the video
great vid. could you review a chrysler 300c platnium
Actually a decent car. Good for a normal nice daily.
not being able to disable the start-stop feature would be the reason why I wouldn't consider purchasing one..
noone asked u idiot
This is a beautiful car.
Refresh squad
Soft cushy ride even with those 20 inch wheels?
Good review, what is one relatively affordable car that has one of the best sound systems from your experience?
+mmz77 actually the Shaker pro system in my Mustang is one of the best under 40k in my opinion. The Lincoln THX systems are also very good. Anything less in price than that they all seem to sound roughly the same to me in my experience.
Love the old classic intro not saying I don't like the other one though
make it a coupe, redesign the interior and call it the new Riviera :-)
You snapped!!! Clearly your comment is before it’s time
A little caveat, those 3 "port holes" on each side represent the V6 engine, if it had 4 on each side it was a V8 etc.
+Look ItsRain yeah, I know it also varied by trim level in the 40s and 50s.
Well done.
Nice review. Crazy that it's 200 lbs. lighter than ATS-V. Would really like to know how you rank against some direct compares? Kia Cadenza, Lexus ES, Chrysler 300, Hyundai Azera, Toyota Avalon, Maxima, any others?
+mfmf100 haven't driven any of those other than the Lexus ES which was a long time ago so hard for me to compare it with those unfortunately. I was impressed by the weight too, which I think would give it an edge over the competition.
WOW crazy good
I bought a 2017 lacrosse today!
How is it holding up so far?
Hi, you're in N.Y? I thought you were in CO. All the best Shaun of NYC
This is what I posted on Buick's FB page:"Leased a new 2017 Lacrosse with everything including 20" wheels and tires. The car rides like a go kart and won't track in a straight line either. I replaced tires at 500 miles, from the OEM Bridgestsone RE97s to the Continental Extreme Contact DSW 06. Although ride and directional stability improved with the Continentals, the car is still darty and brittle. Folks say it's the 20" wheels with 40 series tires. I still have a Pontiac G8 GT with 19" wheels and 40 series tires, far more aggressive tires, and the G8 rides far far better. Other than this major engineering flaw, the car is fine. There's not a thing the dealer car do either as its in the design. First drove the 18" base and it's a floater so something in between would be nice."
Matt, I earlier asked you about my first car, and you recommended the CTS, which is a great car. But, I can get an amazing deal on a 2014 XTS V-Sport. It's in beautiful condition, but it'll be obviously heavier than the CTS. Do you think I should get it?
+Jordan Sloan I haven't driven an XTS but it's not on the amazing Alpha platform like the ATS and CTS so I'm not sure it would feel sporty. I'd wait for a deal on a CTS personally. But I've never driven an XTS so maybe I'm wrong.
subaruwrxfan Honestly, I was going to get it early, but my birthday isn't until April, so I can just wait, and see what is out there at the time. Thank you for your cooperation Matt! Great job on your videos too, been with you for about a year now!
Jordan Sloan That's for the support and good luck in your search!
subaruwrxfan Thank you Matt, and no problem, keep up the good work!
Your first car will be a luxury car? Impressive.
You should review a 1999 Buick Regal GS.
That is a pretty car .
I was tracking along well right up until the handling conversation when the fact that along with 20" wheels this car comes with an active suspension. Yeah, it absorbs bumps well but not because "its a Buick". It does it because it has the same tech that's used in a Z51 Vette and the Caddy CTS-Vs etc. The standard suspension, sans active suspension, I understand to ride more "like a Buick". Also... why no mention that it shares the platform with the Impala? The aforementioned suspension being one of the key differentiators.
Waiting on that 2016 Nissan Maxima review. 😅
Based on your demeanour you like this Buick much more than that Infiniti you reviewed and you know what, so I! Buick is on a roll right now, bring back the Riviera as a halo car.....NOW!
Like your review , I'm considering a Buick ..suggestion ....take a breath give us time to comprehend what your talking about ...
I know what Buick is trying to do and it's great and all but it is still a elder cruiser at heart. Cadillac it seems is the only one that sets itself apart from the rest of GM in terms of models, design and the que system which is different from GMC, Buick and Chevrolet systems.
Should have reviewed the Buick Lucerne. That has a v8 and it's a Buick!
Buick LaCrosse fully loaded, impala fully loaded (premier), Cadillac ATS fully loaded, or close...not any other Cadillac. Anyone, care to reply?
With 20's and the pano sunroof make this car a bit slower than it could be. I firmly believe you can get a cheaper '17 lacrosse that can put up close to '18 lacrosse (with the 9 speed) numbers with no sunroof and the 18's.
Interior needs some color, maybe lighter wood accents, chrome or metals
The auto start stop is predicated on your braking. Don't slam to a stop then take off. Or, lay off the brake. It's way easy to keep it from dying.
Furthermore, stop saying but. For a family wagon that has a subtle ride, a 6.0 second car is awesome. You contradict yourself a-lot, remember what you're reviewing. Damn!
That is not bezel-less. I think you meant border-less.
love this opel insignia
the back end looks like the new civics
Stop/Start tweak: Turn the AC temp down.
Auto stop-start is a real pain! I have a 2017 LaCrosse and will be trading it in because of the stop-start feature. Buyers beware!
This should replace the Holden Commodore
is ur name matt or roger
It's geoff
roger Roger
+Skyline 24 haha it's Matt! But Roger is quickly becoming a nickname it seems lol.
I don't get it. why is it becoming a nickname
Subaruwrxfan haha i got you
great video man
backroad parts are my favs haha
s90 tail lights
Great car to cruise to your PO Box to pick up your AARP catalog and to the store to grab some more Metamucil.
And the foreign cars you use to go pick up Japanese food.
Dont forget the Doctor's office

TheAdventureMazda I used to think like that but then I turned 40....lol
Richard Wentz Makes sense since you're getting closer to the age that this caters to.
9:05 :)
looks like a Subaru
I love this channel, but I thing I really hate about it is that only talk about good things audience see review for negative part of car. Thus i like CNet cars or Consumer Report cars. Top gear is fun but they priase British cars as fuck becuae Top gear is from Britian. American cars... sigh except muscle cars ans pick up truck. never buy chysler and dodge worst relibility. we want these kind of review !
You must have missed the negatives I talked about and then listed in my summaries for each review section.
you need more lexus in you're channel, i love your channel but love lexus, and you barely review any, what about a 1st gen is300 or a is350, or even an ISF an sc400. There's tons of great lexus car's that you haven't touch on.
I'd love to review all of those but haven't had anyone offer those cars to me yet. Hoping to do an RC F early next year.
Jason Reyes how boring you're life must be, how stupid do you feel right now? because lexus changed that a long time ago, please elaborate on your stupid comment because im having a hard time, theres no way in hell a lexus looks like a toyota inside or out, olease tell me how pushing 306hp out the is350 anything from a camry, or the is-f 416hp anything from slow, people that own those don't wanna let them go and it's for a damm good reason, please find me any other m3 or c63 or cts-v that hold they're value like the is-f do even a 2007 will ring you 27thousand dollars easily, find any german brand or american caddy that hold theure value, they're practiclly free why because they full of miles and people wanna let them go because theyre value is atrocious and those engines are about to call it quits. you're stupidity is through the roof on this one, if you know nothing about lexus please stop talking out of you're ass and go drive them, or own a is350 or atleast an is-f or you can't afford one? i mean seriously step into a lexus please not the lower end models the one's that are actually sporty.
Jason Reyes dude talk to me when you can actually afford any of the spoken car's here, yes 20 years ago you could of said that, and i would of agreed. There's no way in hell lexus and toyota look alike anymore the company has done a great job to differentiate themselves from toyota product. I would of understand that lexus dont make enough "HP" for yourself, but don't come here saying is not sporty and it's a rebadged toyota because your just making yourself look idiotic and a fanboy, if you need more power put a damn supercharger on a is-f and you can spank any mustang or german garbage, and have the most reliable fastest car ever. Don't come in here talking all this crap that comes out your mouth brother. For the average people that don't take they're car to the track "306HP to 416HP" is more than enough power to satisfie anyone. And like i said if you want more power and reliability just slap a supercharger on it and you'll have the best of both world's.
As a Lexus owner, I must say... eh. Btw, I worked for mine, and I don't have a rich father. I understand you have a differing opinion of how good Lexus is, and that is fine. However, if all you are going to do is call people idiots for disagreeing with you then get out.
+1, don't recall any recent Lexus reviews here. It would be nice to see how they stack up, given that he has recently reviewed the Q50 and ATS-V.
why does gm own Buick and Cadilac? kind of stupid to own 2 luxury branches isnt it?
Agerix Official they have two different target markets . Have you seen the prices for Cadillac and what’s under the hood ?
Get some new Volvos pronto!
Sounds like Buick needs to quell engine noise. A near 50K Buick shouldn't sound like a 30K Impala and for gods sake GM quit being so arrogant and put a stop/start defeat switch in this car!
the front reminds me of an volvo.
if you could stop pointing out that it isn't a sports car..
6th comment
"Cheap plastic"
This is a nicely designed car, but as usual, there are the typical GM shortcomings. It seems GM can never catch a break when it comes to interior material! They just can't get the details right...And some people say "Buick is now on Lincoln and Acura's level". Puh-Lease! Buick's about a step above Chevrolet in terms of quality and content! Good review by the way!
I like the Malibu better than this. I've driven many of them and like the interior more
A Malibu? Really, your opinion is now invalid.
Yoshiaki K. Actually it’s the same platform as the Malibu.
dont buy this car worst resale value. However this car has good relibility
Actually resale value is about average for it's segment. A bit better than some, a bit worse than some.
So basically its the Buick version of impala.
Cody Jarvis No. It is off the shared new Malibu platform.
There are very few large sedans on the market that are DIRECT competitors for the Hyundai Genesis.
The Buick Lacrosse is a DIRECT competitor for the Genesis/G80/HTRAC: available with AWD and nice luxury features such as a HUD, massage seats, Forward/ Side Collision alerts and other technology based safety features.
Both the Lacrosse and Genesis are excellent large, retiree cars without the flash and bling of the Continental, CT6 or other $60,000 - $70,000 cars.
It has the size of the CT6 inside, but lacks to optional power and sportiness of the Chevy SS.
GM isn't serious about their cars because they should have made an AWD version with an optional V8. They are simply offering "just enough" to stay afloat - taking no chances.
This car is a perfect geriatric cruiser for Grandma and Grandpa but it's BORING.
That might be the ugliest rear end I have seen.... Paddle shifters? Didn't know Buick owners would want those.
Ugliest, well then you haven't seen the Chevy Malibu, Even Chevy is embarrassed, no promo shots are from rear.
Then obviously you've never been behind an Acura.
The only thing that bothers me is the wheels.
Matthew Kinney ...What about them?
I wonder how Volvo feels about this Buick...
the back tail lighgs look like a pilot and the front looks like sonata
Uhhhhh... why do I want this at 29? I just wish Buick would go full Chinese already and shred it's old-hat image. Average age buyer in USA is almost 60, in china.. 34. Put magnetic ride control and make it a Caddy-lite, and let the pensioners with bad backs buy something else. Also bring back a full GSX and/or Grand National.
this car sells good in china but not so good in other place
its a malibu...
Spencer Peat its based off the impala
