Buick Lacrosse: Working around the limited view behind vehicle

0 Upvotes

I bought a 2013 lacrosse.
I love it but the rear windshield feels like it’s angled upward, giving limited visibility to what’s actually behind my verified.

Feels like I could easily reverse into something 4 foot tall or less.

Have yall noticed this as well?
Do you all have any work arounds for this?

06 Lucerne 32k Miles

My 06 Lucerne has been my second ever car after my 06 Corolla (someone else hit and totaled the Toyota rip) 🙏
I absolutely love this car, 6 seats, comfortable and spacious interior, v6 3800 series… it’s really an amazing car, and I only paid 4k for it. It’s been a steal!
It needed a new back window regulator + The air conditioner condenser was leaking by water into the backseat, but was a relatively easy fix on all of these issues, maybe $80 in parts. The back brake calipers are also leaking a bit, but they’re another simple fix.
HOWEVER I’ve replaced the EVAP canister purge valve twice now, and it’s still showing the check engine light every 1,000 miles or so. Anyone else have this issue? Autozone gave me another one to swap out so I’m gonna try and pray for the best

Envista owners, how is the car(driving and reliability wise)?

3 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

Not really familiar with Buick cars in general, but I absolutely loved how the Envista looks. That coupe style SUV looks incredible and I was considering purchasing one.

However, I did hear there are shudder(transmission) and wet chain issues in the engine. How serious is that issue overall? People generally say Buick is more reliable than other American brands but would it be a good choice overall?

Now, for context, my current mileage is around 3k miles or around 5k kilometers a year. I do intend going on more road trips or drive more with a new car but it should not exceed more than 10k miles a year. I do drive as safe as possible(you might hate me on the road for that), and not really carrying anything heavy. Just regular city driving and occassional 4-8 hours of road trips.

Would it be a good idea to pick Envista? I do intend to keep it as long as possible, preferably decade plus ownership.

Thank you

Hi all,

I'm considering purchasing either a used or new Buick, depending on what deal I can get. The used market is pretty horrible right now, so I figured it really depends. For any Buick owners, how has your experience been? I've only had experience with primarily Japanese-owned brands. In terms of American cars.. I drove an XT5 and a Wrangler previously. HATED IT! Had so many issues. I would love to hear any experiences Buick owners here have. I've heard some positive things, hence why I'm going to Reddit to ask for even more feedback.

The budget is around $20,000 used, and I'm willing to go as high as $30,000 either used (low/mid mileage) or new if possible at that price. This is more of a vehicle for someone in the family to drive, and of course we want a safe and reliable vehicle. If I do choose Buick, I most likely will be shopping for this car in Delaware or around the metro DC area, so if you've had good experiences with any dealerships in that area, please let me know!
