I had a 2007 LaCrosse, and yeah it was a lot different in a lot of ways, but it was still a LaCrosse. I wasn't looking for an American Accord or Camry, nor an American Mercedes, though I did expect a well built, reasonably luxurious and (subjectively) good-looking car. I wasn't disappointed. It was quiet, elegant, smooth-riding, adequately powerful, and had luxury features as standard that were optional or not available on competitive models. It was also perfectly reliable. I didn't have a single problem with it in the two years and 40,000 miles or so I put on it. Leather seats, remote start, dual-zone climate controls, heated seats and steering wheel, power everything, on and on.

My grandmother just bought one of these things. I drove it around yesterday. The reviewer covered most of the pros and cons pretty well. I don't remember him mentioning the side rear-view mirrors; they are awful. They are shaped in a bizarre way that makes it difficult to see on the passing lane. Then those damn pillars are gigantic, making changing lanes a bit frightening. Visibility sucks, which is not the idea situation for my granny. The console inside is nice. Styling is hit and miss.

I then talked to two people who owned Buicks, one with 248,000 miles, and another with 170,000, both had nothing but praise. So far I'm not regretting my purchase and it's been a few years.

I enjoy the new Buick's, most of the time admittedly, but not being able to really pair my phone with my car and instead having to do my calls and directions through OnStar would kill the deal for me. I drive a 2015 Cruze now and it pairs with my phone effortlessly. I don't have turn by turn nor does it support Android, but I just plug my Android into the auxiliary jack to let me phone do the work of directions and my music player piped through the stereo. I can understand that whoever the manufacturer is, they can't possibly tell who they're making a car specifically for so they have to include all the electronics and sometimes make bad choices in doing so. But I'd very much rather save a few bucks, go with a serviceable system and let my cell phone do the heavy lifting of streaming music, music player and turn by turn directions. Then you don't have the choices like this Buick forces you to make...

I'd imagine he's allowed to say what he wants because CNET is one of the most respectable reviewing..things there is for technology, and if CNET wants to move into auto's, they should have an entertaining host that isn't afraid to completely bash a car. And even if he does bash a car, it's CNET, who has heard of them giving something an inaccurate review? Correct me if i'm wrong but it's the gutsy-ness of CNET that keeps them so popular, and if something isn't up to par, they will surely say it.
