DRIVEN TO DRIVE

The 2010 Buick LaCrosse CXS is essentially a very nice car.  It’s well built and performs admirably. But it has its quirks, and it takes time to adjust to them.  But overall I was impressed, not only be the functionality but by the quality.  This car could have/should have scored a higher mark and would have had it not been for a few, let’s say, items that have room for improvement 

Don’t forget that these ratings are somewhat subjective – however we do strive to be fair. Therefore readers should not get themselves in a tizzy if their opinions differ.

The 2010 Buick LaCrosse –

• Exterior Styling –  8.5
• Interior Styling –  8.5
• Passenger Comfort – 7.5 (8 for front seat passengers – 7 for rear seat passengers)
• From The Driver’s Seat – 7 (could have been an 8 if it wasn’t for the weird mirrors and huge “A” pillar
• Performance and Handling – 8
• Practicality and Versatility – 7  (Low door frames make it difficult for passengers to enter and exit, plus small access to trunk).
• User Friendliness – 8 (This was a bit of an enigma – once a person has become familiar with the vehicle, it is user friendly, but there is a steep learning curve.  This core is based upon knowning what everything is all about).
• Quality of Materials and Workmanship – 8.5
• Active and Passive Safety – 6  (While the Buick LaCrosse scored well in safety, having optional airbags is a huge no-no)

Over all 7.7
