The seats are nice looking and very comfortable. The gauge cluster has plenty of information and is very nice overall. The only negative thing is the center panel.

I went and leased one for two years in ST withiut the sunroof. You absolutely can tell where Buick cut corners but those corners are not bad or cheap, just missing. For example, the lack of express up windows on the driver only is something I had on my 2008 Saturn Aura. The just blank expanse between screens on the dash. It doesnt look cheap or bad but just non existent. Like a fine piano black void. There is plastic everywhere in the backseat. Like... Everywhere but its together really well. The motor is not as slouchy as it looks in paper. Everyone is focused on the HP and Cylinder count but not the HP to weight ratio and did anyone xomplaining see the torque? 182lb. Thats what matters for quick gettin. The 6 speed has no problems but it sure likes to get to 6 as fast as possible. Where it is wanting is freeway passing. If the person you're passing wants to be a jerk about it, theres very little chance you'll keep up as it hunts for lower gears while still staying as close to 6th as possible. But it will sacely pass on the freeway. Its not a race car. But ill say, this is the lowest you can go with the Buick nameplate. Anything less would have very much diluted everything else.

This is closest thing we'll ever get to a wagon from an American company.

The CX-30 is such a better choice however if you value actual utility and driving dynamics with it's much more powerful base engine and the option of the turbo with standard AWD across the board.

I admire how *gm* completely goes against industry standards for what makes a vehicle compact or subcompact. Nearly All of their vehicles are more spacious inside or offer more cargo space than their counterparts. The full-size SUVs are the only ones in their segment whose 3rd row leg room and _cargo_ room behind it will increase in extended versions (Yukon XL/Suburban). That’s really important to *gm* and their customers. I applaud them for that, being 6’0 tall and a bit claustrophobic. Nothing worse than purchasing a brand new vehicle and you love everything about it except you wish you had more space.

Why is it a 3 cylinder turbo… they made such a nice little package for the price. A half decent interior, good looking exterior, a SUV (popular market segment) and they chose a lousy 3 cylinder for it. And a questionably reliable one in the long term. A simple 4 cylinder turbo (quite literally the most common engine around now) or a 6 cylinder NA would’ve been so much more appealing. I hope they’ll at least offer a bigger engine option. Because simply a “slow in general traffic overtake” car is frustrating to drive and is a big deal breaker. The 3 cylinder option is fine, just give us a bigger option for those who want to pay for it because it feels like it’s killing the car’s potential within some buyers.

Price is a little steep for what it is. When you say it's an option (e.g. the power trunk), is it an extra at an additional price and not standard?

Buick has that reputation _here._ In China, the brand is known for making small Luxury cars that are considered aspirational for up and coming executives. It's the reason why GM never got rid of the brand when it cleaned house several years back. Keeping Chevy made sense as the Working Class Bread & Butter brand. Keeping Cadillac made sense as the Luxury brand. Keeping GMC made some sense as the Truck brand (even though Chevy can easily handle that job on their own). But Buick? Intermediate brand?? Well, no because Ford got rid of theirs.' No more Mercury. So why keep Buick?.... Simple, because it's the money-maker insanely popular in China brand. Would not look good if an American car company got rid of one of their brands in America, that is wildly popular in a foreign nation. So we still get Buick models, here. As far as this Buick goes?.... Wait four years and buy a Pre-owned one when prices will have plummeted to considerably below $23,000. She's worth buying. Just not right NOW.

Buick could've done a better job on the back side view windows. What does the aggressive black pointed line from the back window do? Is it design over engineering before performance? Personally, if the back window was extended to the end of the plastic point thing, that could've been cool. Maybe a less of a blindspot? If I could add more, I would've extended the back window to the length of that black plastic. Just a thought....

Grew up on American cars - espeically Buicks!!! I am leaving the "foreign car plantation" next. Been a HEAVY and committed Honda buyer. But these new Buicks will have me coming back home. I am buying this car next month, and trading in my Accord!!!

@liasisboa 3 месяца назад

Your Accord is much more American than this car.

@williamwest5827 2 месяца назад

Motor, made in Mexico. Car body, made in South Korea. Tires, made in China. Coming back home? It’s only cost effective because the UAW has forced American companies to import. This car is nice, but couldn’t be made in the USA at that price.

“We don’t even need a rear wiper”?? I don’t care how sloped it is, it needs a rear wiper. You shouldn’t be giving manufacturers a pass for cheaping out on important features.

another crappy crossover

Well it’s a cheap SUV lol go wipe the rear window off I guess .. I honestly would’ve thought they’d have different trims with that option

@Prawo_jazdy 5 месяцев назад

I own one. It does not need a rear wiper. The rear end is a high wall taking all the splashback and the glass is as sloped as a car. I don't have visibility issues.

@stevenkreiss2113 5 месяцев назад

I get that it's sloped but it should still have a rear wiper...

@Prawo_jazdy 5 месяцев назад

@@stevenkreiss2113 For what though, looks? Because it would serve no purpose other than ruining the rubber blade every time you use it. We've had garbage weather so far this year and not once have I felt a need for a rear wiper.

GM's Korea auto plant is making some sharp cars to compete with Hyundai/Kia as well as Honda and Toyota. Thanks good review.

I had a Regal SB and really wanted the Envista when I saw it. I then saw the specs. And well, they lost a sell. How can they call that a ST with 134hp? Even with the top trim Avenir, you still get the wimpy engine and fwd. Make a 225hp, 9spd tranny, AWD, with a luxurious interior (to include rear passenger vents and a rear wiper and I might consider it. Driving a Corsair now with the 2.3L turbo.

Im sure the extra cost to include the brake lights and turn signals into the upper taillamp unit would have been well worth it and a much appreciated feature..

@Hoktew 4 месяца назад

I kinda want one

@robbbarnett4978 5 месяцев назад

The turbo will wear the tiny engine down so except countless issues with that, along with replacing out the turbo before 100k miles.

FWIW - I notice that your sound level readings (decibels) are quite different from those on Alex on Autos. Are you both using different brands of sound meters - ?

@CarConfections 4 месяца назад

We are using different sound level reading scales I believe

@WNYfellow 4 месяца назад

OK - thanks. Your site is similar to Alex's with the same attention to detail and documentation.@@CarConfections
