A Must See and Drive!

2016 Buick Envision Premium I 4dr SUV AWD (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 6A)

We were trying to downsize from our GMC Acadia. We've leased an Acadia for over 6 years and our youngest just left for college SO our full size SUV needs changed. We were seriously considering a full size sedan ( Buick Lacrosse or Toyota Avalon) BUT our salesman encouraged us to just take a look at the Envision. We wanted the moon roof and the navigation upgrade. This has a great ride and is fun to drive. It's true we have just taken possession but it fits everything we could ask for in a luxury SUV.

Love this car from the sleek exterior, the rich interior & its sporty ride. The 19" tires hug the road and it's so quiet inside the car. All the little extras make this car a ride to remember. Full panoramic moonroof, Bose speakers, all the safety features you would want. Tailgate lifts easily with your foot or automatically with keyfob. Love the articulating headlights!

Start/Stop Nightmare From China

This SUV has many great features; however, they are completely off-set by the horrible aspects. It is the poster child for technology gone amok! The "start/stop" is awful! I leased weather was torrid (90+ every day). It "shut" down every time I stopped. The air conditioning stops working and it makes a clunking sound when the engine re-starts. Since the weather has become cold, the start/stop doesn't kick in any more? I enquired at the dealership if this "feature" could be shut off which they didn't know which is typical for them. The backlighting on the dashboard and media panels automatically adjusts to changes in the exterior light but doesn't work properly and will dim so much that they are unreadable. This "feature" can not be turned off and per the dealership this is a complaint of many owners but Buick does nothing about it. Gas mileage is awful at approx. 18 mpg combined city/highway and I drive conservatively. My previous car was a Buick Verano and I loved it but this vehicle was twice as expensive and I hate it. My last Buick!

Quality luxury!

I test drove the Acura RDX and Audi Q5 and chose the Premium I AWD 2.0T model of the Buick not only because it had way more technology and safety options for a comparable price but also because the drive, quality and interior design was much better. This car has far exceeded my expectations and in my opinion is going to be a serious competitor in the luxury compact SUV market. The turbo engine is powerful and fun to drive. Loving the interior design and the technology is top notch. The quality inside and out is also top of the line. The lane departure assist and all the other safety features are way above the competition especially for the price point. Buick continues to impress!! Definitely worth a test drive if in the market for a new compact SUV!

I purchased this vehicle after I was given one as a loaner car from the dealership. I loved it from the get go. I am a disabled veteran and had to switch to a crossover SUV, which are easier to get into. From the beautiful colors to the slick interior design and the awesome driver safety features, I love this SUV! Update: I've had this vehicle for 8 months and still love it!
