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.

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.

Great Review ..loved how you went through all the details...

I am shopping the Envision for it's extra power and refinement. It pains me that the Envista is much cheaper and better looking.

Most surprising Buick in decades!

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

Or just get snow tires...

Instead of an SUV, making it a sedan or a “sedanette” like in the 40s would be even better

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

He said SUV but thats a car

affordable price for mid-size SUV.

It looks like lambo SUV

Rattly engine? I don't think so No one else said anything

How did Buick do it? They made it in China so they didn't have the expense of paying American workers.

Three cyl engines are no comfort at all.

These made in China?

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.

You're biased..

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
