Consumers Digest rates Buick LaCrosse a Best Buy for Richmond drivers, according to Haley Buick GMC.

To choose the Buick LaCrosse as a Best Buys of 2010 for Richmond drivers, Consumers Digest took into account many factors including design; styling, interior ergonomics, seating, accessories and amenities, cargo space, and fit and finish. Performance characteristics considered were: starting and acceleration, shifting/transmission, steering and handling, braking, ride quality and fuel economy.

Each vehicle was driven under a range of circumstances and conditions, and they tried to drive these vehicles in the manner for which they are built, according to the standards of an ordinary buyer. Although many buyers now cross-shop various types of vehicles, particularly SUVs, minivans and sedans, Consumer Digest believe that it’s important to compare each vehicle with others in its general size and price class.

What’s more, in determining the top picks each year, they consider a range of additional variables: warranties, repair histories (as available), dealer reputation, estimated repair/maintenance costs, annual operating expenses, insurance-industry ratings, crash-test results, corporate service and manufacturing reputations, and estimated resale values.

In the process, they draw on information from sources, such as National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Naturally, but give the most weight to their own evaluations, but it was the combination of all these analyses—in-house testing, purchase and ownership costs, and the findings of independent sources—that finally leads to the short list of Best Buys.
