Replying to: jeffmo2334 (Mar 14, 2008 7:34 am) Nothing wrong with a '93 Prizm. I had a '92 back in '93. Wanted a '93, but was duped by the salesman. (Oh, the joys of youth and inexperience!) Anyway, Motor Trend wrote of the '93 Prizm that it was Lexus-like in it's quietness. I drove one and agreed whole-heartedly. How has yours held up? Is it still quite and smooth?

Replying to: tayl0rd (Mar 17, 2008 9:53 am) It is not quiet -- my main complaint about this car has been the plastic inside is very cheap, so all of the door handles are cracked or broken, several knobs have broken, etc. When it runs, it has lots of rattles, and is noisy with all of the vibrating plastic. Also, 3 of the 4 rims are slightly bent, so that also makes the ride quite rough. It only has 116k miles, so I wouldn't be surprised to see the engine/transmission to last another 60k or 70k miles at least. I will sell it to someone fully confident that it will be a good car for them. Do you want to buy it?  Just kidding.  Jeff

Replying to: jpstax1 (Mar 17, 2008 8:28 pm) If you don't believe me that the LaCrosse doesn't measure up, that's fine, consult the car comparison web site of your choice and look at the cars the "experts" think the Buick competes with. My bet is that you'll see a list that looks something like the following: - Chevy Impala - Chrysler 300 - Dodge Charger - Ford Tarus - Honda Accord - Hyundai Sonata - Kia Optima - Mazda Mazda6 - Mercury Sable - Mitsubishi Galant - Nissan Altima - Saturn Aura - Subaru Legacy - Toyota Camry Not exactly a thrilling list of car that one would want to go "sporting" with now is it. Best Regards, Shipo

Replying to: shipo (Mar 17, 2008 8:52 pm) BTW, where are the Caddy CTS, Impala SS, and Pontiac G8 GT on your list? Link: http://www.edmunds.com/new/2008/buick/lacrosse/100900863/compare.html A word to the wise, next time check your facts before running your mouth.

Cadillac spent the ninties trying to make the STS into a serious sports sedan contenter. They failed. Cadillac's solution was the RWD sigma platform CTS, STS models which are a much better set of cars. The Lacrosse, like the Impala and Grand Prix, have a bit too much engine for the platform, and while faster in a straight line, still are not well balanced for twisty mountain highways. They are probably better in snow though. |
