Traded an 2015 Encore for the slightly larger 2017 Envision. Loved the Encore's quietness, shifting and general driveability. The Envision has more engine noise, transmission shifts like a 60's powerglide and the autostop is a horrible addition to any car. The little vibration it makes when it starts up is really annoying. Making a left turn from the middle of a busy intersection is very scary when the engine cuts off and you have to hope it restarts. I doubt this car will make it two years in my garage and I seriously doubt that another Buick will ever be in my garage and by the way, I've had at least 3 or 4 previously. Still HATE the auto stop but found that if you shift to L and then use the manual shift button to shift up to 6 then the transmission upshifts and downshifts like any other transmission and the auto stop feature does not work. Worst Buick ever for road noise. Still hate the auto stop/start. Working around that. GM admitted it was a mistake by putting a button in the 2019 cars that disable that feature. The radio comes on every time you start the car. Dealer says that is normal. Very annoying! Transmission still shifts poorly and the road and engine noise is still the same. Looking at 2019 cars like the Forester, and Rav4. Not considering a GM of any kind! Well, I have had the car 4 years and have not had the first problem. The new car colors are awful, and the choice of interior color is poor. What's up with the cars that have black brake dust colored wheels? The fact that these new cars are selling tells me that I have been left out of the car market.

UPDATE. Now I'm getting a bad smell from the AC ever time I start the car. Went to the dealer and they said to spray AC fresh in to intake duct. What a crop or crap. We only have 8000 miles on the car....This is my last buick....... I would give the car 5 stars on everything if it didn't come with one GREAT BIG BUG. Every time you come to a stop the engine stalls and dies. Now there is nothing wrong with the engine because someone at buick though it would be a good idea to shut the engine down every time you come to a stop. They need to kick that guy to the curb. If you test drive the car when it's very hot the AC will keep the engine running when you stop but when the heat lets up the car thinks you only need AC when your moving the darn thing stops running every time you stop. On some GM cars they put a button in so you could deactivate this annoying feature. I realy do think the owner should have the option to take the car in and have the dealer reprogram the computer to deactivate the ENGINE AUTO STOP. If I had knew about this when I test drove the car I would have never bought it. It reminds of my younger days when I had to drive junkers and every time I pulled up to the red light the car would die. Hated it then and realy hate in even more now with a $46000.00 car. BEWARE

We acquired the vehicle in late November of 2016. Looked great. Since then, it's been in and out of the dealership for everything from a noise that is blatantly obvious that comes from somewhere near the gas tank that comes in at certain speeds and has been in for 3 times to try to cure, to a failed operating system. By the way--apparently it takes 7-10 days to get a part for the automobile. If I had to do over, I wouldn't buy that car. For the same money, go buy a Mercedes.

first off let me state , that if I knew where the final assembly country was, I wouldn't have purchased this SUV , and that would have been a mistake. I was on my 4th GMC terrain and was not sure about the ride quality compared to the Buick. My dealer has both lines so I test drove the Envision. within 10 minutes of driving it my wife and I were sold. We were retiring and planed to travel some. we have hade this envision about 16 months now. We have put 33,000 miles on it in that time period, our only costs so far have been oil changes and gas, We drove to the East coast and Back through the mountains and running 70-75 with the a/c on and averaged 33.2 MPG..I will replace it next year with another Envision, I want to upgrade to the driver assist features, if you are looking for a great riding mid size SUV I recommend you take a test drive before you buy,

The auto stop , when engaged and taking the foot off the accelerator while sitting on a incline it will freely road back before engaging accelerator. We have almost rolled back on cars behind us when stopped. Also, when engaged, the air stops blowing
