2012 Buick LaCrosse E-Assist
Considering the purchase of a 2012 Buick LaCrosse with E-Assist. Every option available for a V6 is available for this car except the push button start and EZ Access! Why would Buick leave out such a basic convenience? Nicely configured E-Assist vehicles seem to be in short supply!

An owner who regularly drives at higher elevations and/or carries 3-4 people + cargo would be better served by the V6. The 2.4L DI engine in my car is a quick revver that will spin past 4,000rpm very quickly and makes good power while doing it. It has never felt under-powered to me. It does generate 182HP at 6,000rpm and has a 7,000rpm redline, delivers 23-24mpg in mixed driving, and is installed in very nice car with a smooth shifting 6-speed automatic transmission.
:confuse:
Buick could put in Toyota's 4 cyl conventional engines and increase mileage and not have to have loss of trunk room and hard downshifts.
Most people I have talked to with the eAssist are disappointed in fuel economy. Buick field engineers had my car for two days and said everything checked out OK. Over $1000 warranty and roadside assistance so far. None of my Lexus or Camrys ever had any warranty.
I thought they had a minimal warranty of 36000 miles since they are perfect.
May I suggest you go buy a toyota camry or lexus model, whatever floats your boat. And if you name means you actually worked for GM, I suggest respectfully you ask toyota for retirement checks and your social security and medicare.
All you have to do is trade your Buick and you're done. End of file.

Odd, my 2012 w/V6 is around those numbers.
There was mention on another forum of a poster who was getting lower than normal E-assist mileage, but then also many reports of upper 30s on the highway.
