Great vehicle for under 30k. My wife likes it because it is inexpensive. I’m like you, a little meh about the 3 cylinder. Put in a 2.0 turbo and I’m a buyer.
Man that thing looks sharp I'm mad at myself that it was never on my radar especially for the money that was a great buy, I also really dig the blue stitching, your wife has good taste brother that Buick is 🔥.
@@QueTheChaotic You're welcome brother, you legit have one of the best fleet of cars in this UA-cam game I'm looking forward to seeing all of your future content.
It’s a “good value” because it’s built in South Korea or in China. GM has really sold out for profitability in the last 10 years by outsourcing everything. I would never support vehicles like this that take jobs away from North America. I don’t care where it was designed, we need to support manufacturing at home. It’s funny that Toyota, BMW, Honda, Hyundai and many other foreign makes manufacture cars in the US, but GM has to go over seas. Horrible.
And yet some people will eat it up because they think it's an "american car." No its not just boomers and old people, even some younger people buy ford and chevy only because they think its american.
I like these a lot. I'm thinking about purchasing one very soon. One of the reasons will sound very strange. The catalytic converters. I was watching another reviewer who put the Envista up on a lift to show the underside. Where Buick put the catalytic at, you have to remove a protective plate and something else to make room to get to it. It makes stealing it annoying and time-consuming. It might not prevent someone from trying, but I think most thieves are going to avoid them. Plus, I'm very cheap 😂
Probably the best looking subcompact SUV out there. Got Porshe vibes even. Sheesh, what's wrong w/ the competition trying too hard on their designs lol
Definitely get RX over the NX, dont look at the UX cause its tighter inside than a corolla with no trunk space. i thjnk thus buick is a good buy for the price.
Waiting for the part where Que mentions this car is THE ONE for the rest of his life😅.....a few minutes later starting negotiations a dealer on its replacement (Ford Mach E Rally or Bronco in that amazing green!!)😂
@@RaceCar21 😆😆😆 I should do a drag race against the Explorer ST. I was trying to get a used Aviator too. She liked those but it was like 10k more and used
These are terrible cars bro. They failed the IIHS top crash with 9/15 poor ratings as of 9/30. and they also have a wet timing belt. Which makes them hilariously unreliable. Yeah, it looks good, but that's it man.
I don't know, should have looked at a Dodge Hornet. It is also a POS but the way Dodge is giving them away now you could have got into a 3 year lease and have a full warranty for when it breaks down... and it will since its a rebadged Alfa Romero.
@@QueTheChaotic the Hornet is the worst selling vehicle in America right now so Dodge is deeply discounting them. I found a dealership out here that has the GT plus model with AWD, sticker $41K and selling for just over $25K. The GT is the base model and the RT is the hybrid identical to the Alfa Tonali. My wife has the Nissan Kicks with no power and a cvt trans, I'd like to get her into a lease on the Hornet but she loves the Nissan.
@@funtimeswithtom4108 wow that’s a great deal. Even if the hornet is shitty. I read a while ago they had like a 600+ days on the lot to sell. That’s crazy.
I've been looking at buying a Trax as a second car (currently own a VB WRX) to use as a daily / beater. Do you think the Envista is worth the extra $3000 over the Trax in that situation?
Nice! It’s just a little bit nicer. I like the styling more. I also like that it has a power liftgate. But you have to option the Envista all the way up to get the good stuff. The loaded Trax I reviewed was about $27k. The Buick dealership experience should be better. It’s not really worth $3000 more but I’d still choose the Envista
@Que_The_ Chaotic NX? Also while Aesthetically pleasing I don’t trust a force inducted 3 Cylinder for reliability especially one from GM… but I’ll be looking forward to more videos on y’all experiences with it
NX! Had a huge brain fart that day. And I’m with you. We could have financed one for about the same price but nah. I don’t want those problems long term. Hopefully they end up reliable though
@@QueTheChaotic Out of curiosity did you suggest the Mini Countryman or Clubman to your better half? Out of all of BMWs product line they probably offer the best value in terms of product support long-term.
It seems that Buick can't get out of their own way. That's a Very Nice looking vehicle but no LED lighting in the cabin Which should be standard in this day and age. No arm rest in the back seat Which is unheard of in this day and age. No AWD. and a engine that couldn't beat e-bike in a race... Probably the best thing I see about this particular vehicle is the THISWOSX Car Vacuum in the back, which is apparently there for esthetic purposes only? Thanks for the Video ✌
Ahhh told you man, these Envista are a great value! Love my Envista, my most popular Turo rental.
@@robbydragi yessir! You called it. It was hard to find one with a sunroof. Had to go to Roseville

I have the 2025 ST moonstone gray, fully loaded. We got it in August, and we LOVE it... A beautiful luxury car!❤❤❤
Congrats! Great color too
I really like this car! test drove it in person as I’m looking for a small crossover just underwhelmed about the speed and wish it came in AWD
I think it's a beautiful design
My wifes daily driver too, she loves it. When we drive together I am driver, great car and love it as well. The price point why pay more dude.
Good choice. I'm considering that or a Hyundai Elantra for my wife. We still shopping as well.
good choice. if it had a honda or acura badge those people would go crazy for it
Agreed
Great vehicle for under 30k. My wife likes it because it is inexpensive. I’m like you, a little meh about the 3 cylinder. Put in a 2.0 turbo and I’m a buyer.
Yessir! Inexpensive and attractive to mines
My wife made me buy her a Buick, too. We are on our second Enclave as her daily driver. I’m sorry, man. Then again, happy wife, happy life.
@@neuronbob 😅 the Enclave is nice too. My wife thought it was too large
She made you buy her a Buick? 😂
No wife, phenomenal out of this world life!
For 27K new I can’t say anything bad about it.
Yessir!
The NX is the RX smaller version. Good review, the Envista is a good car, nice interior, great value!
Thanks!
lol! Que, you gotta be nice and let out some of that tire air… don’t keep her all worried! Ride looks sweet tho for sure

This over a cx 50!? This proves that all you need is a nice look, most people don't care about quality, driving experience, resell value, etc
@@gladdy02 looks matter. Resale value won’t matter since it’s a lease. The CX50 I wanted was 40k. Both have pros and cons.
@@QueTheChaotic ahh a lease, good way to go with these 😊

Turn up the boost!! 😂 But seriously, happy wife, happy life! Assume the RDX was not even remotely an option! 😅
😅 she wasn’t interested at all. I tried to sell her on the loaner I had. She didn’t like it.
have you had any issues so far? I'm considering this car, but seeing a lot of not so great reviews
No issues so far
My biggest complaint is the 3 cylinder. Second being no AWD option.
3 cylinder with a WET TIMING BELT. nuts. this engine will be junk in 10 years or less. Mazda the way to go right now, IMO.

G do you and the misses work for manufacturers? Ong idk how y’all keep tradin in without losing your shirts
Nah I don’t work for them. I get employee discounts on a lot of manufacturers though
