I have owned 5 new Park Avenues, one used, and now this Lacrosse, my wife 's car. Purchased used with 17,000 miles in 2013, now have 86,000 miles. My wife commutes 80 miles, round trip, during the work week, on major highways. She loves it! Quiet, comfortable (we bought the car after she sat in several other like sized vehicles, as she has had back surgery), great lumbar support. She averages 29 MPH on the highway..,not great..but better than many. We drove it to Florida last year, and it was flawless. It's not the snappiest off the line, but we knew that going in. Our objective was comfort, looks and decent mileage. You will love driving this car. The only service we has had is routine, with synthetic oil (recommended by GM), and our first major service is due at 88,000 mi. Only one minor complaint...the transmission shifts a little hard when cold...it actually clunks...and I think is it related to the electric/motor transition, as the car motor actually shuts off when stopped and flips to the battery. Not a big deal...we have gotten used to it....dealer says its normal.
