@silverbuckeye Год назад

Buicks are beautiful cars, and with regular maintenance, they'll treat you well. My parents had a 03 LeSabre until about 8 months ago, and only traded it in because the rear struts were literally rusting off the car (they live in Connecticut, so the road salt corroded the strut mounts practically off). When they traded it in, that car boasted a whopping 217,000+ miles, and they would have kept driving it had it not been for that issue. Nowadays, they have a 2014 and 2017 Buick LaCrosse, both of which have given them no issues. When it's time to replace my car, I'm hoping to get a Buick myself.

Between my 98 Regal and my wife's 2004 Stratus... I had to make several more repairs on her Dodge than my Buick. My Buick had 160k miles when I sold it... The Dodge had ONLY 70K MILES and the dealership paid x4 as much for it! 🤣 I feel sorry to whoever bought that car.

@@jasono2139dodge sucks. I had a 99 dodge Avenger that I bought in 2004 and I put it in reverse and then when I put it in drive it died and would not start. Don't remember what it was but it cost me $1300.00 to fix it. The engine idled ruff by the time it had 115,00 miles on it and I paid several people to fix it never could get it fixed. And one cold winter morning the driver side door handle broke after I had it 1 year so I always reached through the passenger side to open the door. Then one day at 158,000 miles another cold winter morning it just died on me while I was doing about 45mph and I had just enough to coast into the gas station. While I was making up my mind wether or not I was done with this car I decided to go into the gas station to get a coke. So I went to open the passenger side door and now THAT handle broke off so I threw it and said "I'M DONE WITH THIS CAR" then I brought an 09 Corolla in the fall of 08 now it has 139,000 miles and still runs like the day I bought it. And I went car shopping for my mom (she just wanted me to do it for her) and got her a 2015 Buick LaCrosse about 4 or 5 years ago have had no problems so far.

The difference between Buick and Toyota when it comes to technology and infotainment systems is staggering. Toyota looks like they pulled their infotainment system out of the early 2000's, where GM/ Buick is up to date and modern. I got rid of my 2020 Rav 4 for a Buick Encore GX. It's a better car all around. I will never buy another Toyota again. Then again, Buick is considered/marketed as a "premium" or "luxury" brand where as Toyotas are not.

I used to be a GM guy. Active fuel management(cylinder deactivation) and auto start-stop, with no disabling button, moved me to Ford/Lincoln. My Lincoln engine runs on all cylinders and when I start the engine, I turn-off the auto start-stop feature using the touch screen. I don't have to purchase after-market products to accomplish either. GM ran me away as a customer several years ago. I used to like my Chevys, Pontiacs, and GMCs. They left me, I didn't leave them.

I basically abandoned GM after 2019 in my eyes. 2020 c8 though futuristic fast and amazing, is NOT a true corvette based on mid engine and all auto. It just went to a different market. The 2019 zr1 is basically the last amazing super car they make with a 7 speed manual. Their trucks aren’t what they used to be. And with their supposed voiced move to be “all electric” by 2030, completely capped any feelings I have toward their new lines. I’ll always be a GM guy in terms of Camaros GTOs G8s and the amazing corvette along with the older duramaxes all the Tahoes and Yukons/suburbans I grew up in … but I don’t think I’d ever buy new from GM or give them the time of day :(

I never thought I would ever purchase a GM vehicle, but the Enclave has more passenger space, more cargo space, and more actual useable room behind the third row than any of the competition. It also has a dual-clutch AWD system that can send power to a single wheel if needed (which they stupidly got rid of starting in 2022), lots of tech and safety features, active suspension damping, is quiet, and has excellent power and handling. It's been a great vehicle so far and has had zero issues.

You can flip the switch at the bottom to turn off the camera and then it functions like a regular rearview mirror.

I just thought I would chime in about my Chrysler 2014 300c (70/K). My brake control module went out. It departed with my Forward Warning, my Cruise Control, and lastly, my Anti-lock Brakes. So I went to the local dealer and was informed that this part was not available and it would take 2-3 weeks to send off my module and get it repaired. Then they dropped the hammer, $2200 for the repair but hey, they could rent me a car for $35/day+. I went online and found an overnight repair shop that would accept MY module. Since it is MY module NO CODING would be required. If true how can they charge so much? Since I was the MIA/POW coordinator for this State, I find it hard to buy Japanese or German Products. That's why this vid is of interest to me.

We've got one of these. It's a lovely vehicle. Currently about 130,000 miles and no particular problems. Our other car is a 2006 Chevrolet Trailblazer with about 220,000 miles, also no particuar problems with it either. The enclave is AWD and the Trailblazer is 4WD. I do my own maintenance, I always change the transmission fluid, differential lube, transfer case lube, anti-freeze, and brake fluid (flush) on a regular basis and I think most people ignore those items.

I learned to drive in 1989 Buick park avenue. I absolutely loved that car. Ugly brown with a vinyl top. It had the opera lights on the sides along with a power antenna and a weird auto closing trunk - I used to get pissed when people slammed it. It had a “concert sound II” sound system - I had the cd adapter that you put in the cassette deck to play my disc man. The 3800 engine was a so awesome. Not really a fast car, but it was reliable, the transmission shifted flawlessly, and it rode Ike an absolute dream. When I was 18 and me and my buddies wanted to go out we took “the old man” car and loved every minute of it. My dad had Buicks from the 1950’s until he died in 2003. He bought his first and only new car in early 2003 - a brand new park Avenue - he was able to drive it once before he succumbed to cancer. My mom had that car for 18 years…. The only reason it didn’t last longer was due to the salt on the roads in the northern US…. Engine and transmission still shifted smooth. Buick still holds a place in my heart as cheesy as that sounds.

So reliable and I felt safe driving it, especially in the winter. I put 100k miles on that Verano. It always ran beautifully… until a few days ago when I’d let my mom borrow it for a week and the engine blew due to lack of oil. I’m so sad about it! I just keep looking at it sitting out in the driveway and wishing I could put the key in and drive it again but alas, she’s done for.

Maybe have a new engine installed. The cost of a used vehicle is insane for last 3 years and they have high miles about to go any day. The car most likely had an issue that caused the oil to leak or burn off quickly causing it to go . Or leaking or evaporation of water / coolant.

Being from the north I can't possibly disagree harder on avoiding awd. As a basic matter of risk management, being able to control your vehicle in slippery conditions seems to make a hell of a lot of sense. Have to weigh out the cost of the awd vs the risk of catastrophic damage to your vehicle (or passengers, drivers and other people on the road) if you lose control of the vehicle.
