Compare the 2010 Buick Lacrosse to the 2009 Lexus ES 350 in Miami

The fact is many people relate a Buick to their grandfathers old car but the truth is times are changing and so has the new 2010 Buick Lacrosse. For over a decade, Lexus has been quietly reaping the rewards of a luxury sedan that offers comfortable seating and at a reasonable price. Buick has now joined the game with its offering of the 2010 Buick Lacrosse, starting at a base price of $33,765.

Now lets compare the two. Judging from the Buick Lacrosse standard, heated/ventilated, leather-upholstered front seats we can tell you that it offers a much more comfortable ride than the Lexus ES. The Buick Lacrosse also offers it’s back seat passengers more room for comfort than the Lexus. In terms of driving dynamics, the Lexus has one subtle but distinct advantage over the Buick, because you never notice the drivetrain at all. In the ES 350, the ultra-smooth and remarkably quiet V6 develops 272 horsepower, yet requires high-octane fuel to do so. The EPA's combined fuel economy rating for the 2009 Lexus ES 350 is 22 mpg, and we confirmed it with an observed average of 21 mpg. The direct-injection 3.6-liter V6 in the 2010 Buick LaCrosse CXS makes more power than the Lexus V6 with 280 hp and it does so with regular-grade fuel.

From behind the Buick CXS's standard heated steering wheel, we found its ride far more controlled and yet soothing than that of the squishy Lexus. The LaCrosse CXS has standard two-mode self-adjusting shock absorbers that do an excellent job of damping out impacts with a single(!) rebound stroke. In comparison, the Lexus feels soggy with its soft springs, and the traditional dampers allow the body to oscillate through at least two suspension cycles after an impact. An area where the 2010 Buick LaCrosse CXS scores big points is in our scoring for 10 selected features, including must-have items like navigation with real-time traffic information, remote starting, perforated leather seating with heat and ventilation, and so on. Of course there are items both cars have in common, like intelligent keys, premium audio systems, articulating xenon headlamps, dual-zone climate controls and oversize moonroofs.
