    I bought a 24 Prefered trim with some extras like power lift gate. Convenience package 1 heated seats advance safety package 1 and 2. 26,620. Ocean Blue. Plenty enough for me. Definitely not woth going Avenir trim. Best mileage is 38 mpg. I do like this new cinnamon color. But not more than my blue. Thank for reviewing. Engin power is fine. Have four adults on the highway never feel inadequate.

      While that does conflict in some ways, there are car makers that have been providing premium features at a lower cost. Not everyone does premium at a premium. Look at Mazda, Kia, and Hyundai. A lot for a little. Plus, Mazda interiors are premium yet simple. So it is not fully out of the realm to expect it.

    We have an Envista in the preferred trim. The 1.2 L 3 cylinder does have a turbo that kicks in low in the RPM range. That makes it just perfect for quick right turn merges on city streets. It's not super fast for merging onto the highway, but, then again, that's why on ramps are longer.

    Between the Envista Avenir and the CX-30 Premium, I bought the Mazda. It was a tough decision. Both are equally handsome. The Buick is impressively packaged for the price. I ultimately went for the AWD and proven reliability of the 2.5-liter Mazda engine in the CX-30.

    I have a 2024 Avenir trim and mine has a sunroof, did they stop offering it?……also you didn’t mention anything about the Flex Fuel engine now offered for 2025. With all due respect when you say on throttle and you jam, the gas pedal against the floor and then comment that the car doesn’t have enough power makes me scratch my head as to how you drive. I takeoff from a stop with a reasonable amount of acceleration, not expecting to squawk the tires or leap forward like a rocket ship. Also regarding fuel economy, I’m not sure why Buick has it set at 32 miles per gallon highway but I just took a trip to Mexico and back with this vehicle from Phoenix and it was about 250 miles each way, miles per gallon calculation on the dashboard that I average 41.8 miles to the gallon, which is pretty darn good. Granted this was pretty much all flat roads and I only had one other person in the car with me, but even with that the MPG on this vehicle is excellent in my opinion and the car is more than adequate for the price, how it looks, and what it offers. I guess maybe the comedy of how you do your auto reviews falls in line with how you drove this car.

    As a Toyota buyer for the last 20 years, I just got tired of them and the dealers. I wanted a Corolla Cross, but was treated like dirt at the dealers. They could care less about you wanting to buy a car from them. I bought a preferred with all the options (lift gate, safety features, power seat, heated wheel seats) $26400. To get that in the Cross would be another 6 grand. This is a great car. Mid 30s or higher on the MPG. I never owned a turbo, but this car is way quieter than the Cross. I may never go back to Toyota if this thing holds up. The way I look at it, is I paid 6k less for a car that is better equipped and who care about a couple grand in trade in value when you already saved 6k. Please test drive one, before you take it off your list of cars to look at.

    Avenir trim is missing things considering it is a premium brand- a base model Camry comes with 2-zone climate and a hybrid system that gets you 52 MPG. There are also no vented seats on this Avenir model. For being the highest trim of the "premium brand" vehicle, it is lacking stuff. I do like that it is affordable though.

      Uh it's a crossover not a sedan. That might be the reason. Also. One is a luxury brand while the other isn't. Last but not least. Crossover normally weigh more than sedan thus impacting fuel economy.

    I wish car reviewers would stop complaining about design features that don’t function. Sometimes something can exist solely for the sake of design. That’s ok. This is the second cheapest vehicle GM sells. Some of you act like you are reviewing an expensive vehicle.
    The industry ATP is $50k. This a car that fully loaded comes in $15k+ less than that. Let designers and customers have a little fun.

    I am convinced GM is making a big profit on this vehicle, because $30 k is way too much. 3 cyl. Hard plastics, and no moon roof? Plus when Joe was driving I could clearly hear the wine from the engine when you were accelerating, and you were not flooring it(I don't think) It looks decent on the outside though.

    I'm sorry, this is NOT an "SUV" nor is it a "crossover". I don't care about Buick's "marketing" department or their feelings. This is a front wheel drive hatchback. A CHEAP FWD hatchback. I like it very much but ...... excuse my rant. Carry on, Guiseppe.
