One thing to know about the turbo and engine not feeling like they're working together in harmony - for some reason this car takes a few hundred miles to trust and learn that. Once you get the feel and know-how of when the turbo will kick in and when it won't, you don't even think about it and they work well. It's a difficult thing to explain, but getting that feel with it has made the ride much smoother.
This is one I’m considering… only problem for me is the engine being so small and what he says about it here makes sense. People seem to look at this and say “what a small crossover!” I say “what a beefy sedan”.
Looking for a new vehicle and took one of these for a test drive last weekend. The car is amazing. Interior is beautiful and so is the exterior. I cannot buy this car with a 3cylinder. I took it on the highway, getting on the on-ramp was terrible. I was not a fan of the 3 cylinder and the turbo was lack luster at best. Kicking down the accelerator did nothing but made the car scream more than it did getting any additional speed. If this engine was a 4 cylinder with a turbo, I would take a serious look at it.
Let’s see what they do with the 2025 model. They’re selling to the masses which means they need to offer options. This same exact quality & look, with AWD & a better engine will make it a killer best-seller.
They're just headlights. Doesn't matter whether they're a big old square circle. The cost to manufacture those headlights. It's probably like around a dollar. Fog lights another dollar to produce
I didn't get the Avenir trim mainly for the opposite reason lol. I like the looks of the black trim, and with it being plastic I won't have to worry about those spots rusting out first here in Ohio from all of the road salt in the winter.
Not a great value when something like the Kia Forte GT exits for less money, with more features, power, and warranty. It’s not like this is a real SUV. It’s a wagon with a less usable cargo area than its Trax sibling.
Most SUVs are just glorified wagons to include many of the Kias. I wouldn't buy a Kia or Hyundai so I can avoid dealing with all the thefts because of the poor security design. Even if you have an updated model people keep causing damage trying to steal them. Would love to see current insurance premiums on a Kia/Hyundai.
@@jdm1039 it’s only Kia’s that have keys. Most of them do not anymore. All the Kia’s and Hyundais that get stolen are the cheap ones with hubcaps. Insurance companies know that.

I felt the same exact way , was odd for sure for 200kms 😊

It totals up to about $30,000 for 2024 Buick Envista from the dealership final price.

So basically buy a Mazda CX-30 if you love the concept behind this Buick, but want some real power and AWD capability. Got it! Thank you.
I am shopping the Envision for it's extra power and refinement. It pains me that the Envista is much cheaper and better looking.

Same! The envision is bigger but the encore and envista look better. Shorter front hoods, that's why methinks
Great Review ..loved how you went through all the details...

Or just get snow tires...
Nice looking car, but it’s angers me how Buick doesn’t paint the trim on the two cheaper models.

Instead of an SUV, making it a sedan or a “sedanette” like in the 40s would be even better
Most surprising Buick in decades!
It looks like lambo SUV
affordable price for mid-size SUV.
More subcompact than midsize.. very small car
He said SUV but thats a car
I wonder how it is using that back window when needing to reverse. Can't always rely on the camera.
Rattly engine?
I don't think so
No one else said anything
These made in China?
south korea
GMC Made in America
Three cyl engines are no comfort at all.
How did Buick do it? They made it in China so they didn't have the expense of paying American workers.
You're biased..

Kia forte is ugly
@@ryansheets9909 looks are subjective, value and features per dollar are not.
@@LifeAfterLosing I had actually thought about buying a Kia forte GT I like the back of it but I think the front of it is ugly
It's not an SUV. It's a slug. One of the ugliest vehicles in existence. But just my opinion. Makes the Aztek look stylish
The Peugeot 408 is exactly identical from a side view... As an European, I prefer your Buick Envista 😉
The Aztec IS stylish and so is this.
you must be blind
@@Carfan678 No, I just have taste.
@@JohnThomWebb I like the envista but u really think the Aztec looked good 😭😭
