When they’re driving together and giggling, they look like a married couple leaving Walmart after they discovered the checkout girl forgot to scan the microwave oven and so they got it for free.

Honestly laughed all the way. Need more of this, maybe in a Terrible Car Thursday or whatnot

The affluent man’s trax. Thank you for this

I originally had an 84 month loan lined up for one of these Buick smokeshows, but seeing Todd again encouraged me to go all the way - 108 months, premium!!!!!

For me this kind of a review of 1000x more interesting than random supercars I'll never drive.

Ever since adding Jungle Power Recon Battery to my Fiat 500 Pop, my son looks me in the eye and my wife no longer creates a wall of pillows to seperate us in bed.

Premium niche content like this keeps me ENGAGED. Seriously, review more trash, I like the PAIN.

@ 7:43 - truly an epic crash zoom with no purpose. A+

"The problem with this car is that other cars exist" 💀💀

The quarter mile... eventually I JUST SPILLED MY COFFEE

0:44 - I’d like to see that in a magazine ad! Buick Encore “Interior space like a janitor’s closet” - Savage Geese

5:48 - Me removing my pop tarts from the toaster. Whether $100k or $35k vehicles, you guys put out the best content. Have a great weekend!

That surprise Todd segment in the middle had me exhaling air at slightly higher volumes.

"Audio doesn't sound like a tin can like some of the base Hyundai and Kia products" .....or VW's flagship sedan.

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!”

"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.

Goddd this feels like a return to form for you guys. I’m loving every second of this. Hilarious.

No butt seriously, Lori Leadfoot needs to give you guys the keys to the city. The city of Englewood

1:16 that stitching is testament to GM’s phenomenal quality!

Buick's marketing team: "At least they didn't call it a shit box."

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.

"Uhhh ... do we *have* to review this car?" "Let's make it quick."

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.

The official car of being the scapegoat for why we hate crossovers

I just bought this exact Buick GX but in 1.2engine. I love it. Great vehicle 🚗 and economical in gas!

Got a kick outta Jack saying "I thought this was a different Buick" LOL

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.

I did not realize this jewel was hiding in plain sight. Well Done.

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.

This Savagegeese video is more classic than a couple of beef and cheddars with the girlfriend. just don't tell my wife.

Omg the throwback jungle power!!

Oh, how I missed Todd! We also need an episode featuring Turbowski, just one. Come on, savagegeese. We miss him in Russia

1:15 Look at that WONDERFUL even stitching. 🤣

Last week.. a 1000HP Corvette C6 ZR1.. this week.. a Buick Encore GX.. and Savage Geese is so entertaining.. I watched them both.

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 problem that this car has is that other cars exist." Sick burn. 🔥

Buick, the sound humans make when they're throwing up in a toilet Beeew-eck 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮

This is fully equipped rav4 hybrid money, ya know

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 😂

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.

Rare sighting of ACTUAL savage geese!

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.

"if you even know what that means" I love you

And here I thought the Dodge Ram was the DUI enthusiast's vehicle of choice

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

I have a Jungle Power battery in my 1972 Saab 99, amazing quality considering I bought it at Dollar Tree.

Glad you managed to fit the word "knuckle" into this sweet, sweet review

This is certainly one of the cars of all time. I love the part where it said "it's encore time" and GXd everywhere

4:34 pfft, this guy thinks I would ever FRIEND @savagegeese in the first place. Well, he has another thing coming, now give me the Jungle Power!

I like how Jack turns into the Joker at the end 😂

Too funny! I just got an Encore today as a loaner. You are spot on! The brakes were so touchy!

The mix of technical info with the humor is spot on here!

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.

Please do more crappy cars! You guys look like you guys are actually having fun.

I’ve been following this channel for as long as I can remember. You seriously need to have at least a million subscribers.

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.

I would really like to see a test of a Geo Metro convertible. A real man's car.

GM should’ve canceled Buick and kept Pontiac.

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.

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.

A lot of laughs in this one, total recall said it all, thanks for the Mazda props! I cant wait to welcome cross shoppers!

Don’t know why I decided to watch this one but damn glad I did. Hilarious

Mark, I am so happy you are here making videos for us all

I am one of those 3. Came here looking, strictly, for comedy. Fully delivered. Thanks guys.

Pretty sure this showed up in my feed because I've been looking at motorcycles recently.

Savage geese being interrupted by geese is pure poetry

That battery bit was HILARIOUS! Holy crap this could be a network tv show if that was still a thing.

LOL as SOON as I saw "American Masterpiece" in the title I knew this was going to be chock full of snark. Wonderful as always!

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

Glad to see Toddd is back.

I appreciate what you guys do so much I actually enjoyed this masterpiece of a machine.

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.

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

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.

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.

The entire video summed up at 9:34

Lord save us from the SUV and CUV craze

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?

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.

I have a 2020 Encore GX base I bought new for less than 20k. I can't imagine paying what they said was sticker, but it's really good for the spot I got it

I'd love to see you review the CT5-V and your thoughts against its rivals like the Audi S4/5 and BMW M340i.

Todd doing Todd things, love to see it [again]

Aguado arms! 😂 I lost it when you said that! 🤣

A "car" marketed primarily on its connectivity - like every other device you already own - has outlived the Mazda 6. What a world.

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.

Funny, last night I was thinking about how much I missed jungle power and the other todd outro's.

The sarcasm here just oooooooozes, and I'm all for it. I love reviews of absolutely depressing vehicles.

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.

Your best review ever.

That is literally an Opel, even though they left GM so long ago

Thank you for the Jungle Juice ad. I checked, I'm still subscribed.

As I saw the title AND the car - I knew it's going to be good!

Imo, 3 cylinder and luxury is impossible in the same vehicle

That was Savage. Thank you

You never know what to expect but the Geese delivers. Been a while since I've seen the Toddd. Just pounding it on that long street was hilarious. Some great commentary. Just how much of a pieced-together car it is to just be shipped over to the US is just .. excellent, which is why I would agree that it is a game changer. Cheers

This video made me laugh so hard and that's exactly what I needed, thanks fellas

Ahhh the Daewoo Encore GX

Sorry to break it to you, but this just an Opel :D

"Way more palatable, if you even know what that means." My ego is shattered, you really are savage.

In Q1 2021 in the US they sold 18.435 - it sold better than Trax, Seltos, CX-30, etc. This shows that other manufacturers too should start offering semi-luxurious crossovers with a high seating position in this price range.
