"The problem with this car is that other cars exist". Possibly one of the best review lines, I have ever heard. Thank you both for the reviews you put out. They have helped me tremendously.
I absolutely love this channel, and I must say “The quarter mile, eventually” was the funniest since Volkswagen Beetle ads in the 70’s that would say “Zero to sixty? Yes!”
Its still better looking then a solid 60% of crossovers im building a 2015 encore into a sleeper also their faster then people give em credit for in a race against all the other crossovers it may have less power but it is the lightest one and handles the best.
@@joebone3151 i mean you do you but 99% of other encore buyers buy these because they can;t be seen in a sedan cause of ego issues; or they're geriatrics
Purchased the AWD version of this for my mother (1.3, 9 speed) ... would agree that it's very well designed and executed for a specific demographic. Did a 2K road trip with it because I needed something with cargo space and it was comfortable, quiet and efficient. Plus ... that red & black grille! I love superfluous sport trims on non-sporty cars.
It's so GM to go this route. In the 2013/2015 timeframe after they took bailout money there was an uptick in quality and style. That lasted about two or three years and then it was right back to build it cheap for the rental fleet.
I drive an Audi A8 and I picked a certified used GX fron a local Buick dealer for my daughter - in- law. What a bunch of gibberish spouted here. I was very impressed with the cars driving and quality.
That Buick tries to charge more for this than a comparably equipped Mazda CX5 is insane. I do find it totally appropriate that Buick, which only survived the chopping block because the brand was so strong in China, is essentially mostly just captive imports now from Asia.
In all seriousness I loved my sister’s 1995 Buick Regal. That thing could coast so amazingly well, it really felt like it could coast uphill, and it was comfortable and soft riding but didn’t feel like a boat. It lasted a long time too.
Love to see Mark grinning ear to ear. One does not simply forget the shenanigans, like putting a garbage bag on random hooks under the car. Priceless! Keep em coming :)
The point to a artificial shifting CVT is to hide the fact that the transmission is a not so reliable CVT that's being pushed onto the consumer. Buyers don't always read the sticker.
Always wondered about those cute little cars! And at 30mpg this car makes great sense. Maybe it's over-priced a bit, but it does save gas without needing to be plugged in to an outlet, and looks good. Get one used for $20k with a little mileage.
This was great, had a stupid smirk on my face during the entire video. Especially the surprise return of Todd and JUNGLE POWER mid video, and Jack’s admission that he didn’t mean to book this thing 😂
@@dragospahontu Or at least not a bad thing. Really, for these world cars it makes very little difference where they're assembled. The parts come from the same plants all over the world.
3 cylinders are apparently very good for turbo charging because of big space between exhaust pulses, so no/less interference between them, hence the he yaris 1.6 threepot making 260ps with a relatively small turbo
Bro you had me laughing my ass off with the intro! I have never seen one of these in the wild, which is why I thought I’d give this video a go. No regrets.
Very cool video on the iconic nameplate of Buick! My first car was a 1964 Buick special deluxe and I also used to daily drive a 1992 Buick century deluxe. I always had a soft spot for Buick. It would be cool if Buick brought back the iconic Riviera nameplate or the Grand national. The interesting thing about Buick I work as an emergency roadside technician and the only issues I have seen is just people needing a jump start and everybody I've talked to who've owned a newer Buick have always raved about them! Buick is one of the unsung heroes with great brand loyalty. My favorite Buick has always been the 65 Riviera Grand sport. Back in 97 I was able to drive one and I cannot believe the wildcat 425 motor with the dual four barrel setup.
Part of it is low expectations. Buick has the oldest buyers of any mainstream brand, and those folks are old enough to remember the dismal reliability of cars from the 1960s through the 1980s. Any modern car seems exceptionally reliable when you grew up driving those.
I watched this because I am currently working on buying a new Encore, and am doing more research. I prefer the look of the regular Encore over the GX, and since it's just me, I don't need a lot of space. The chip shortage problem concerns me, but that will just give me more time to save up a bigger down payment.
I have a 2017 sport touring encore and I genuinely love it! The only bummer is that I don’t have seat warmers (but I live in Southern California so I don’t really need them). I think the regular encore looks better than the gx as well; not to mention you lose the driver seat arm rest in the gx. It’s a pretty nifty car! Hope you get to enjoy yours soon!
@@devonmeyers8213 I just bought mine on Friday! It's awesome so far, and that armrest is needed, so I'm glad I picked the Encore vs the GX. I'm still trying to get the seat exactly as I like it, lol, and it has a lot of pep and go. Brakes easy too.
Guaranteed first car reviewer ever to reference micropenis when describing brake pedal feel. Its this type of originality that cements savagegeese as a best-in-class content creator as awarded by J.D. Power & Assoc 69 years in a row.
I think your final thoughts are spot on. I had considered this last year and opted for something else in roughly the same price point but, feel what I got would last much longer. The engine is too small in my opinion and likely will not hold up over time
These cars are pretty interesting. In my area you can easily get over 5k off sticker and you get a new car with 360 camera, pano roof, and adaptive cruise under 30k. There's no other vehicle that offers that.
I mean no hate for people who need a cheaper car but there’s a reasons it’s such a “deal”. It’s a poorly made junk box with the build quality of a matchbox car.
I'd like to shout out to the other two viewers. You both have exceptional taste in YT car review experience. I hope you have both subscribed because these two guys deserve 1 million subscribers. I can't do that alone. I need you two as well. And your friends. And families. And their friends. And their families.
I agree with you - except for the inflated price. There are very few truly bad cars being made, and those are, to my mind, certain highly unreliable, ridiculously expensive to repair, luxury models. With its generic GM roots this should be cheap to repair and mostly fairly reliable, if not outstanding. It may not be fun to drive, but that isn't the pount. It will make a relaxing, efficient commuter car, big enough for the childless young and empty-nesters.
I own a 2018 Chevy Trax. It cost me $14000 brand new. It's actually a very enjoyable car to drive. Just the right size for me. Very comfortable interior. And it actually is an attractive car for the price.
When I saw the title of this video, I thought it was going to be super flattering to the Encore. Turned out to be very different. For whatever it’s worth, I actually quite like the Chevy Trailblazer, though, that shares this platform. Preferably the one with the 9-speed automatic. Maybe it’s just the more distinct looks?
Cue the "Buick is for older people who have blue hair" comments yet according to google the average buyer of a new car is 53 years old. My wife is on her 3rd Encore lease because they are dirt cheap (under $200 a month) quiet, good gas mileage and the hatchback design is brilliant. The leases are all $0 down unlike other brands that have you pay $2,000-$4,000 up front. Also, the turbo engine has good pick up to 45mph but does suffer at highway passing.
Median Buick buyer, however, is about 60, which means they have plenty of quite elderly buyers. Nothing wrong with that, and this should sell well to that crowd. They know their market.
After careful consideration of all the information from this great car review video, I am now the proud owner of a 2021 Honda HR-V EX AWD for @ $27k (assembled in Mexico). After 5 years, I expect to have a lower overall maintenance cost and higher resell value than this 2021 Buick Encore GX.
Just bought one for 19. I putt 11 down so it is quite palatable and affordable. Can't complain so far. I definitely didn't envision myself buying a Buick 🤷
It is interesting watching this in the UK, where a 1.3 3 cylinder is nothing unusual. It is good to see as most american cars that you review have engines that would be taxed to hell. V8s or v6s are exotic here no matter what platform they are in. I have a mk 3 miata and a Dacia 900cc 3 cylinder. Both really good cars for very different reasons. And i know that I will attract comments for saying the dacia is a great car, but i dont care. Keep up the good work, as i love your your channel.
Currently driving this as a loaner while the dealer works on my Regal TourX. Pretty much agree on everything. I hate driving it. But wife doesn't mind it. @savagegeese review the Buick Regal TourX. Opel was making it under contract for GM, but it's been discontinued for '21. But one of the handful of wagons available in the US
@@NaijaBull loving it. It has some shortcomings, but what car doesn't. Great road tripping car. Dealer's checking out a water leak issue currently. Hoping that gets resolved soon.
@@NaijaBull Dealer (Malouf Buick GMC in NJ) scratched the paint while taking trim apart and refused to accept responsibility for it. So now I have to fight with GM to get the dealer's fuckup fixed. The car is great though!
They seem to respect that broke or frugal people still care about what they are buying. I love that they will put a cheap car on a lift and evaluate the compromises manufacturers make to get a car to a price point. Kudos, YT is a meat grinder. The reason channels like this are so rare is because you would have to be willing to work your ass off to make it breakeven.

Again, there's no point to a CVT if it shifts like a regular automatic. I want smooth and shiftless, especially if it's in a Buick.

@@Mgoblagulkablong I think he was saying if it's a cvt then let it be a cvt, don't make a cvt mimick a regular AT with unnecessary fake shift points
At this price point you are not getting a real transmission.

Amen!
Give it 15 years and women will go to minivans...
...with their Compact Ungeared Neutral Transmission.
This video is a trip, made my morning, thanks boys
Currently driving this as a loaner while the dealer works on my Regal TourX. Pretty much agree on everything. I hate driving it. But wife doesn't mind it.
@savagegeese review the Buick Regal TourX. Opel was making it under contract for GM, but it's been discontinued for '21. But one of the handful of wagons available in the US
How you liking the TourX?
@@NaijaBull loving it. It has some shortcomings, but what car doesn't. Great road tripping car. Dealer's checking out a water leak issue currently. Hoping that gets resolved soon.
@@NaijaBull Dealer (Malouf Buick GMC in NJ) scratched the paint while taking trim apart and refused to accept responsibility for it. So now I have to fight with GM to get the dealer's fuckup fixed.
The car is great though!

I was not prepared for this emotional rollercoaster.
That is literally an Opel, even though they left GM so long ago
No, its a Daewoo (GM Korea) and Opel was only sold off to Groupe PSA four years ago.
Utter nonsense. Dumb mob upvoting. They sold Opel years ago, there is absolutely zero connection to Opel in this car.
@@Mgoblagulkablong Except for the styling, interior...
Yeah, still has alot of connection to pre-PSA Opel.
@@Mgoblagulkablong look at an Image of a 2015 Opel Mokka and them this car an tell me about how this Buick has zero connection to it
@@TheImperfectGuylooks / cosmetics are completely irrelevant, there is absolutely no correlation between looks and what's underneath...
They seem to respect that broke or frugal people still care about what they are buying. I love that they will put a cheap car on a lift and evaluate the compromises manufacturers make to get a car to a price point. Kudos, YT is a meat grinder. The reason channels like this are so rare is because you would have to be willing to work your ass off to make it breakeven.
