2014 Buick LaCrosse


Are you in the market for a new sedan? The 2014 Buick LaCrosse just might be the right one for you. The Buick LaCrosse is a gorgeous vehicle that will definitely make heads turn. 

The 2014 Buick LaCrosse is truly a gorgeous vehicle with so many upgrades inside and out. You really can't go wrong if you choose to buy a Buick. 

We actually owned a 2005 Buick LaCrosse CXL for 3.5 years and we loved it. It was luxurious and the ride was spectacular. So when I had the chance to test drive a new one I couldn't wait!! The upgrades they have done are just outstanding. 

The model I drove was the 2014 Buick LaCrosse AWD and let me tell you, it's really nice to have an all wheel drive car these days. They are few and far between and living in MI, it's really nice to have that option on any type of vehicle you choose. 

The interior is just beautiful and so well put together and designed.
 8" high resolution touch screen was a nice feature!
 I love the dual temperature control, I just didn't like was the capacitive touch. You need to push that little button for each degree and when you're driving that can be a hazard. It took a while to get to a comfortable temperature.
I love the heated seats though of course. But this also has cooled seats.
The steering wheel mounted controls make things a bit easier while you're driving. And it also includes a control for the heated steering wheel! A very nice feature in these cold winters.

The back seat is very large. I was able to get both kids car seats in here with ease and there was still enough room in the middle for a third person.
 It also features the panoramic sunroof with a nice shade over it.


In the same place as the buttons for the sunroof was a button for the rear shade. Push it and the shade goes up or down. This was a really nice feature. My son is still rear facing in his car seat and the sun can get pretty bright. I loved this.

 Lots of leg room.
 The trunk was very large as well (sorry about this picture, it was a very bright morning)

The Buick LaCrosse AWD has a lot of safety features as well. It has Forward Collision Alert and it provides audio and visual warnings when you get too close. It has the Blind Zone Alerts on the side mirrors as well so you know when someone is in your blind spot. 
It also has the backup camera that shows you right where you're going when the wheel turns.

One of my favorite features, and it was a bit weird at first. When you cross over a line in the road, that side of your seat vibrates. Also if you're getting close to something your seat vibrates to alert you it's there as well. It was definitely a shocker at first when it happened, but is a really nice feature. 

The Base Price of the LaCrosse is $33,135. The Price of the one I drove was the Premium 1 Model and came in at $46,670, but the features are 100% worth it!
Normally I don't take pics of the outside of the car, but this one was too beautiful not to.



I would recommend the Buick LaCrosse to anyone and I have in the past since we had such good luck with ours. 
*Disclaimer, I received a Buick LaCrosse for a 1 week test drive. All opinions here are 100% my own and I was not compensated to write this post, other than receiving the vehicle.

  1. I like this car and the fact that it drives so well, but as a mother with young kids I would hesitant to buy such an expensive car. This would be a great car for when your children are pre-teens to young adult age. I would definitely like this vehicle when my kids are old enough to drive. I know they will be safe.

  3. Oooooh I wanted one of those so bad and I tried to convince my husband to get one last month when his car got wrecked and we had to buy him a new one. He ended up choosing a Honda Pilot :( When it's my turn for a new car I definitely want a Buick.

  14. That's remarkably shiny! I'm still more of a subcompact (albeit one with the best safety rating) kind of girl. We'll have to see if that changes once kiddo is out in the world.

  74. Gorgeous car! I love that it has a sensor to alert you when you are crossing the line or getting to close to something. Unfortunately we are stuck with a minivan for awhile as we have 4 kids.

    ReplyDelete
  75. Nice car. I'm not a fan of touch screens in cars, though--much too distracting for the driver, as it takes the eyes and one hand away from driving to use it.

    ReplyDelete
  76. Heated seats and cooled seats sound wonderful. Right now this vehicle is beyond our budget....maybe one day!

    ReplyDelete
  77. I love the safety features in this car - I've heard of the backup camera before (which I really want), but haven't heard of the Blind Zone Alerts on the side mirrors. What a great idea!

    ReplyDelete
  78. loving that rear camera.

  79. (2014 Buick LaCrosse) I have been wanting one of these for a while now. I had a 1996 Buick Lasbre and loved that old car. Would buy a Buick anything now days I think. I was and am still a happy customer of theirs.

    ReplyDelete
  80. The Buick Lacrosse is a beautiful vehicle and I loved the features especially blind spot and rear camera. But now that my husband and I are retired, I am afraid $45,000 is way over our budget.

    ReplyDelete
  81. the heated and cooling of the seats is always a plus! And I love the sunroof! I have one on my 2003 grand am and love it!

    ReplyDelete
  82. Thanks for the nice review. I have seen this a lot and I was impressed just looking at it on the road. i had to find out what it was when I first saw it. Maybe someday, I have been driving a Ford explorer and I am used to this now. This is a great car! Rita Spratlen

  83. I think that the LaCrosse is a great car. I loved your review, and it really complements the car greatly.
