Is this the CUV to buy? Has it gotten lost in the sea of competition?

Actually Buick is one of if not the most reliable American brand now. I drove a Buick Regal when I was young, it was a boat! But that’s how cars were back then. 😂

I had an 83 Regal. Drove it across the country. Those were the days. 😀

Nice review of a nice vehicle. I agree: The "ST" and other places around the interior should have blue stitching. That's a good catch.

[@chabbysrides]

Thanks! Thank you for tuning in and the feedback. Much appreciated 👍

Very curious about this car! Way better than I thought! Agree that the blue contrasting stitching could get more widespread use. Hunch that car is way better than I thought, includes Trax and the other Korean "cousins" from GM. Very attractive in and out. Think this is a good example of "cheap and cheerful" ..competes best with the smallest H-K made subcompacts. Value proposition is OK..a bit more and a prospective buyer could move to a Hyundai Tucson or Kia Sportage base. There you get much more interior room, 2.5 L 4 cylinder, 8 speed torque converter automatic. etc. I would tend to put my "hard earned $" on the larger H-K twins. You enjoy the reviews and they are well done! Keep it up!

Thanks Louis! 👍

Mike, excellent job as usual. Summit White always look good. I like the ST,& the Preferred trim levels.
Customers who want the lower trim in FWD,can buy the 1.3 engine w a CVT for $395?👍👍

[@chabbysrides]

Thanks David. Yes. Only a $395 increase in base price for the 1.3 engine. 👍

[@davestadt49]

GM does make the drivetrains & engine choice a litte confusing.
On the Envista/ Trax you have 1 choice period & it's strictly FWD.

Not much difference between the 24 & 25. Got mine 2 months ago and love it. Cinnabar with awd, moon roof, 360 camera, power driver seat and power lift gate.

[@chabbysrides]

Nice! Glad you’re enjoying it. Thanks for tuning in.

Wait what ? Leather seats BUT manual ?
And not heated ?
Is that a joke ?
