IMO the one negative on these and the Trax in 2wd/FWD ( 1.2L 3-cylinder) is the engine comes with a timing belt, the 2024 Buicks like the (Encore GX with AWD) have a slightly larger engine (1.3L 3-cylinder has a timing chain), some may not care but to me its a longivety deal, I like the idea of a timing chain. ------------- I am really looking forward to the new Buick Envision that comes out later in 2024! From what i've read its more of a highway cruiser and it can come with the optional GM Super Cruise. It comes with a 2.0L 4-cylinder engine with 228 hp and AWD and a 9-speed automatic transmission.
I am in the process of purchasing the same trim fully loaded. I test drove the preferred (my choice to purchase) and the ST. The preferred has a much better ride due to having “17 wheels which means more rubber between you and the road. As compared to the
I disagree. Less moving parts than a four cyl, theoretically the block is stronger because it’s more compact, and this car is not meant for heavy towing or hauling. I think longevity comes down to design, build quality, and maintenance. A 3 will probably last just as long as a 4 given equal variables and proper application.
One thing as a big guy i find in most new cars, is that the seat bottoms are entirely too narrow and way too short. At 6'3" tall and 200lbs (not fat) i don't fit in most of these Chinese made cars. The seat bottoms aren't made for an American male.. at 6'5" tall it would be helpful to do a seat to thigh test.. where does that seat bottom cushion end on your leg, and given a 12 hour constant driving road trip, do you think your legs would be asleep when you got out? 😂
