      quick kill it... Despite its shift toward crossovers and SUVs, Buick is still struggling in America. Many automotive experts criticize the brand for a decline in quality in recent years. The brand also suffers from the “twin vehicle” practice, in which GM uses a different brand name for nearly the same vehicle. This is our Boomers car brand and with them dying off slowly so is this brand.. GM is focused on Buick for China where it actually sales... give it a few years and Buick brand will no longer exist

      True but Buick wanted to appeal to younger buyers so that’s why they put in the 3-cylinder engine and 6-speed automatic in order to make this affordable. Otherwise, if they put in a 4-cylinder engine, the price of this vehicle would well surpass the Encore GX Avenir and be just slightly below the Envision.

    Funny story about the new logo adorning all Buicks. Apparently, in the design phase, GM engineers did not want to take the time to make the old logo with the circle. So they came up with this simpler design to draw quickly on the prototype papers. Management saw this, and thought, "Cool new design for Buick." So now GM is putting out all Buicks with this new emblem, a design shortcut for GM engineering. Isn't that an odd true story?

    CC any big differences from the Chevy Trax? Drivetrain is exactly the same, correct? Does it actually drive any different? What about the displays? The sloping roofline as you mentioned is one big difference resulting in a lot less cargo space. An idea for a follow-on video would be a buyers guide between the two brands. I"m sure alot of buyers will have the same questions about the two.

      The buick has a softer suspension so it'll drive a little nicer, better sound insulating windows, better materials used on the interior, and the Trax is an suv. the Envista is more of a sedan/SUV. the Buick should hold its value a little better aswell.

    Hi, Drew and Mason, you both are awesome you gave a detailed review I like this Buick Invista Avenir no doubt for the price whatsoever price wise this car is fantastic and looks beautiful back seats are very comfortable however this car is appealing to me, especially front grille trapezoidal shape I've never heard before and 1.2 L turbo 137 HP and 162 pound-foot torque not bad everything is such a perfect on this car thanks for making this review

    I like the direction, but a huge miss. Although maybe for the price it’s not bad. I actually like the exterior, but that interior is 🤮- the dual screens don’t even match the plastic and why is the volume knob so awkwardly placed.

    You guys did such a great job with this review. I love this vehicle. When my lease is over with my present car, I am definitely leasing one of these, at the Avenir trim level. I have never owned an SUV or Crossover... I have always been a Sedan type of girl. You two have sold me on this vehicle. Thank you, again, for your great review. Also, I decided to subscribe to your channel. I look forward to your drive review on this car.

    I had second thoughts about this one and I agree with most of you about the lack of power in this vehicle, nice looking vehicle but the turnsignal is ridiculous lights and horses power I'm looking for a more reliable vehicle like Honda , at least I know that the cars transmission won't go out.

    Awesome style! nice to see Buick finally having the guts to show their bravery without having to combine elements of "Grandpa's Buick" definitely would be my choice over the Ford Escape.
    I liked every element discussed until the turn signal/brake light position was highlighted, that is the only thing I didn't like. The height of the hood on most SUV's would often mean the driver behind can't see them in slow moving bumper to bumper traffic. I'm also a driver who reacts to the cars ahead of the one in front. The Hyundai Tucson went this route and is the reason I wouldn't purchase it. When laws require rear window brake lights for safety it makes no sense why car makers would but turn signal/brake lights at bumper level which below where most drivers focus their vision.

    My best friend and soulmate bought one. She has a 99 Suburban and got rear ended in a 25 mph zone. So the low stop lights scare me. Thank god she was not hurt. She loves it. For the price what else is available with the features? She has heated seats heated steering wheel and more than i care to list. for what? 25,588. crazy to me. And the 3 cylinder seems to handle it just fine. Had I not researched it I would never known it was a 3 cylinder engine. It's not going to win races but its adequate. I've only driven it twice and the only wishes I have is more side bolster on the seats not a fan of the start stop and the small back window. But she loves it and that's all that matters.

    I've seen several reviews and most have been very positive. This car has a lot of attributes I've been hoping to find: An affordable car with a bias towards comfort and quietness. My "sporty" days are over, and I'm not rich. I would prefer a more conventional drivetrain, with better MPG, but I'm open to this.

  • @jacobtoone9051
    @jacobtoone9051 Рік тому +2

    GM still hasn't figured it out with the engines. A 3cyl is too small for a vehicle of this size. They tried putting a 4 banger in the massive Cadillac CT6, it didn't last long. It needs at least 175-180 hp at the minimum. When people spend money on new vehicles, they want it to get up and go. I see blown head gasket and cracked head in the making.

    No doubt this is a beautiful CUV and the price is excellent, but given GM Korea's reliability track record, I'm very leery of the Envista's long-term reliability. I'm not interested in spending $1,200 on a new turbo somewhere between 60k and 100k miles, among many other common issues. I may play it safe and wait a few years to see how reliability pans out for others first.

    • @robobee1707

      Agree, Buick did well by going with a traditional transmission. They should have buck the trend for turbo only engine options. The old standard Verano engine would have been fine. I"d be interested but not with a three cylinder engine and not with a turbo. Even in this video, it sounds like a sewing machine.

      If you end up liking the car, just buy an extended warranty before the factory warranty expires. I'm looking at the Genesis GV80 coupe and I can't believe I like the Envista ST trim as much as I do. I'll have to test drive one to see how small and entry level it is. For $50K less I could easily sacrifice luxury and performance for style and value.
