Buying the 2017 Buick LaCrosse
CarmaCars rents cars; this page helps you judge the 2017 Buick LaCrosse before you buy one elsewhere. Here is what to know about the 2017 Buick LaCrosse before buying one.
Recalls and complaints
There are 2 NHTSA recall campaigns on file; a dealer can check by the VIN whether each was done. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace.
Engine and fuel
The engine is the 3.6L 6-cylinder, with front-wheel drive and an 8-speed automatic. It runs on regular gas. Front-wheel drive is the usual layout for cars this size, predictable in the rain and the snow.
For 300 km of mixed driving, expect about 29 litres, from its 9.5 L/100 km rating. For 1,000 km, budget about $147.30 at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$2,700 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.
The LaCrosse in everyday use
As a mid-size car, it has a closed trunk that keeps luggage out of sight. Measured bumper to bumper, it is 5.02 m. Check the size of a tight parking spot. In plain terms, its 453 litres of luggage space hold a family's bags for a long weekend.
A good match for
It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car. It suits someone whose own car is in the shop for a while.
Drive it on your own roads
Renting first costs a fraction of the price of buying the wrong car. A test week in the LaCrosse tells you more than any review. Rent first, buy later: a week with the LaCrosse answers the big questions.
The cost of driving it
The EPA estimates US$2,700 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $147.30 at our price setting. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $14.73 in fuel.
Picking a year and a trim
Within the 2017 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which. Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay. A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it.
Talk to a person
Send a request to rent the model you are thinking of buying.
Rent it for a week before you buy
