As far as engine size/hp complaints go, it is more than enough power as a city/highway vehicle. You guys don't realize how many late 90s civics, rav4s, etc. are driving next to you on the road with their sub-140hp engines. Not every car needs to be a 800+ hp Demon

while I agree, I don't see how they couldn't offer something more comparable to the buick regals of past. Mine had a 2.0 turbo 4 with 250 horsepower that delivered great fuel economy along with more than sufficient usable power. 138 Horsepower is lean anyway you spin it. Something that is trying to be as nice/luxurious as this, 150 should be a minimum IMHO. Still, I'm thinking about taking one for a test drive because I am curious about it's handling and other driving dynamics.

Thanks for the review of the ST trim level. I will say the ST seems to allow much more engine sound to come through vs. the Avenir. In the Avenir example I have, you truly can't hear the engine. Possibly something to do with the active noise cancellation, not sure.

We just got a 2024 Trax 2RS this past November and the vehicle has been great! Both the trax and the Buick are about the same. Two benefits that the Buick has is a power front drivers seat and a power lift gate otherwise both are the same. Trax has more cargo room in the back and rear head room. Can’t go wrong with either.

I test drove an Envista today and it feels noticeably faster than my focus, as well as reaches a comfortable merging speed much sooner and with less effort than the focus. My only concern with the engine is the wet belt system being used instead of a timing chain, it doesn't seem difficult to change yourself, but a mechanic is going to charge good money for something that shouldn't exist now a days.

GM Korea Buick Division building some sharp cars. The 1.3L version with its reliability history I'm reading on multible formats pertaining engines in Engine enthusiasts, Trailblazer forums, etc. would have given me more confidence. Most reviews by folks with the GM 3cyl engs appear happy (of course some negative comments also) if 3cyl maintained right. Definitely read up on these little 3 bangers before jumping in. They should be warmed up in colder climates before driven for example. Im comparing sub/compact crossovers to replace a 2015 Camry. For same money Mazda or Toyota still in my sights. I'll test drive this and Encore GX. Wait a year to see if recalls or problems appear or just consider the new 24 month $199/mo lease w/ down payment. If reliable looks favorable maybe buy/finance the balance. Thanks for good review on the driving experience which matters to me as much as looks and dependability.

An AWD system would give the current engine a little bit too much weight to sustain the currently fuel economy and reliability.

Is it me or do others think that smaller motors aren't better for efficiency? I think there's a fine line between the weight of a vehicle and the correct size of motor. If you put an underpowered engine, especially one with forced induction, into a larger vehicle than it should be in, the engine is going to be working extra hard (high fuel injector duty cycle). In my opinion, and my experience, these small motors with turbos are not better with fuel efficiency. I don't know why manufacturers keep thinking smaller is better. The second you start going up hills in vehicles with these small turbo motors, they start getting like 10mpg from being at max boost. A family member owns a Buick Encore with the 1.4 turbo and it struggles to get an average of 25 mpg (95% highway driving). My Jeep renegade, 1.3 Turbo, gets 23 mpg with about 70% highway driving..that's terrible mileage for such a small engine....but a full size pickup with a v8 can get just as good fuel mileage 20-22)? There was a video I saw a long time ago of a BMW M3 V8 and a fuel efficient car of some sort (I think top gear did it)...they both had 1 gallon of gas and they did laps around a circuit to see how far they would go. The V8 went further on 1 gallon of gas. I just personally think that these 1 point nothing motors are terrible choices for vehicles weighing over 3k lbs. My Trackhawk gets the same fuel mileage as my 1.3 Jeep Renegade going up the same hills I live near. Literally, my 1.3t engine gets 7-8 mpg going up the hill by my house while my Trackhawk gets the same 7-8 mpg on the same hill. The Trackhawk actually gets better mileage on slight inclines than my 1.3t Jeep.
@colechapman6976 6 ай бұрын
I agree. When you need to floor it and use all available horsepower on a weak engine, that hurts the fuel economy. Especially if it has to haul a three thousand pound plus vehicle. It's very inefficient and requires you to lose a lot of MPG just to get up to speed. In a bigger engine, you can gradually increase speed and it goes faster. It's a more efficient use of energy
@HiImMigz 5 ай бұрын
I have a question. I am not very mechanic-savvy when it comes to fuel efficiency but for someone who has a 90mile commute, constantly on highways, 2 hour drives total a day to go to and from work, usually going somewhere between 65-75mph. Would a car like this be worthwhile for me eather than getting for example a 2021 honda accord (doesnt matter if its the normal model or sport)?
@WatchMeBURNFuel 5 ай бұрын
@@HiImMigz If I personally had to choose between those two, and had commuting as a big part of my driving style, I'd for sure go with the accord. Better mileage unless you get the 2.0 turbo. Plus, Honda reliability. However, with that said, I like the exterior and the interior a lot more on the Buick than on the Honda. I think the new Hondas (all of them) are very ugly. This Buick actually has a very nice interior for the money.

this thing is really compelling, if only it wasnt a GM product.

You should try driving these like normal sometimes. You seem like your pedal to the floor the whole time.

Much like the Ford Ecosport, this engine should be in vehicles that would actually deliver good fuel economy and cost over $10k less than this.

It's weird how a 3 cyl sounds much like a V6, a 5 cyl sounds very similar to a V10, but a 4 cly sounds nothing like a V8

"a 4 cly sounds nothing like a V8" Yeah it does. This is a Lotus Esprit V8: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/iL10obB00ZfKiaM.html This is a Ferrari 360 V8: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qpmKm8Z1srCoZqs.htmlsi=lxznLiH7xy0_MA56&t=32 It's just that in North America, the crossplane V8 is more common rather than the flatplane V8 which has the same layout as an inline-four. Crossplane inline-fours like the Yamaha R1 are possible, but are relatively rare. This is a Yamaha R1 inline-four which sounds more similar to a crossplane V8 or to a V4: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/j6pzlZagy7exf3k.html

I disagree. I don't hear the similarity. There are no 4 cyl that sounds like a Coyote V8, hemi V8, LS V8, Magnum V8, Ford Modular V8, iForce V8 etc etc etc

@@stevefrench4595 "There are no 4 cyl that sounds like..." I just showed you the crossplane crankshaft inline-four Yamaha R1 that sounds like a Coyote (but obviously revving twice as high, at low revs it sounds similar) etc: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/aJugmrqF3sfchnk.htmlsi=9v6Njt_HCgH6fbJ6&t=16 V4 engines also sound like crossplane V8s. Here's the Honda VRF800: kzfaq.infoqMii_HRUOsY Basically "most" V8s are built like two V4s joined together and *not* like two inline-four joined together. However if you have a V8 that is built like two inline-fours joined together, than a inline-four *does* sound similar to it. On the other side, if you are really not convinced here is the Hayabusa flatplane crankshaft *V8* made out of two inline-four engines: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/eZ9kiayoscjKe58.html Hear how this V8 sounds like two inline-fours joined together, because it *IS* two inline-fours joined together? How can the four cylinder Hayabusa not sound like the V8 Hayabusa, it is *literally* half of the V8 Hayabusa! I don't follow. Here's an inline-four BMW S1000RR version of a Fiat 600, which sounds VERY similar to the above V8 Hayabusa Fiat 500 in my opinion: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/adypf5aqxtqsgJs.html Most inline-four engines have flatplane crankshafts and therefore sound like flatplane crankshaft V8s like Ferraris, Lotuses, Ford Cosworth DFV F1 engine, Hayabusa etc like I said. *Inline-fours absolutely sound like half a v8, as they are half a V8.* It's just the *other* layout of a V8 (like your examples) is more common like I said, while the matching inline-four to that layout like the Yamaha R1 is conversely, rarer like I said, but the Yamaha R1 still has that some tone as a Coyote.

@@stevefrench4595 If you go with, quote unquote, a " proper " V8 like this Honda V8 Indycar: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rap8h9arxNaYYZs.html it absolutely sounds like a (very high revving) four cylinder engine, surely? 🙂 Therefore inline-fours DO sound like V8s like that Indycar, it's just that most V8s are the other kind of V8 (crossplane crankshaft), no?

"a 4 cly sounds nothing like a V8" I'm not done yet, I have another example! 😜 V8 DTM car: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/sLqEe9h81ZfMfas.html Four cylinder DTM car: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gq17d8iUzd2Ucas.htmlsi=roZcnlRMhDkDj_F9&t=72 They sure sound *very* similar to me... The exact same type of race car, one year they ran V8s, the next year they ran four cylinders and they sound very similar just as you would expect -- I rest my case. 😉 Indeed, if you scroll through the comments of videos on V8 DTM car vs Four Cylinder DTM car sound, most people can't really tell the difference, except that the V8 is louder because it was't turbocharged (and obviously doesn't make anti-lag noises). V8 vs 4 cyl DTM: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/nd1medqerK6nd2Q.html

Really nice car but even being a beast with maintenance, that teenie weenie engine with a turbo will be lucky to make 100,000 miles which would almost require you to buy an extended warranty. I can see buying one new and dumping it in 5 years or less. I would never buy used!!!! This and the Trax are great looking but they are throw away cars at a 25-30 k price tag
