Buick LaCrosse
The Buick LaCrosse consistently takes home high dependability rankings, something which is particularly true with the latest model year. The 2018 J.D. Power Vehicle Dependability Study saw the LaCrosse beating out its other large-car competition. The study looked at the specific dependability of the 2015 model year over the course of three years: The LaCrosse passed with flying colors.
Owners will love the choice of engines available on the Lacrosse, including a V6 with a nine-speed automatic for 310 horsepower. The LaCrosse also has the technology and safety to match its reliability ratings, leading to its high rank among the competition. The Teen Driver setting, in particular, helps it stand out. This feature gives parents a second set of eyes so they can rely on their teen drivers with some help from the LaCrosse, a great feature that enhances the appeal of this Buick. To supplement the great safety features and history of reliability, the Buick LaCrosse comes with a very competitive warranty. It includes a bumper-to-bumper warranty for 50,000 miles or four years and a powertrain warranty for 70,000 miles or six years.
2016 Buick LaCrosse
For those who want a large sedan that also offers all-wheel drive for some extra traction and confidence in tricky driving situations, the Buick LaCrosse is
among the few that delivers this option. The 3.6-liter V6 engine is nice and powerful yet still delivers 24 mpg combined so you can count on the Buick not needing to hit the gas station overly often.
If you look at the older Buick LaCrosse models, you will get the same reliability but should pay attention to features and other changes between model years. The 2017 model year represented a redesign, making it almost identical to the 2018 version. For the best reliability, opt for a 2010 or later model. This is when the seats got more comfortable and the interior became even more well-finished. More safety features were also added to the lineup, with a rearview camera becoming standard in 2015 and an enhanced touchscreen arriving in 2016. Even the earlier versions of the LaCrosse, which began in 2005, score well for reliability, but you will get more features if you go to a more recent year.
