The Buick LaCrosse has a curb weight of around 1.6 tons. I've been driving this car for several years and feel its weight actually enhances the driving experience—for instance, it remains very stable at 120 km/h on highways without feeling floaty, and it's less prone to skidding when turning on rainy days. Naturally, the heavier weight leads to slightly higher fuel consumption; I spend an extra few dozen yuan on gas each month, but it's worth it for the safety. A reminder: during maintenance, make sure to check the tire pressure and brake system, as they can help reduce some of the load. There isn't much difference between different model years and configurations, though the top trim might add a bit more weight due to additional airbags. Overall, it's quite worry-free to drive.
