if I had to do it again I would not buy this car. first after we purchased it, we found it was made in China. shame on me for assuming it was an American car. second, the auto stop feature drives me crazy. I have asked the dealer to disable this feature, but was unwilling to do so. Other than these two items, it is a nice, smooth, quiet car. to date we have had no problems, seems to be a good vehicle

I traded in a 2016 Buick enclave, altho it was a good car, I found a dozen things I liked better about the envision. Like handle over the drivers side to help exiting., Bigger back window. better gas mileage , turn signals visible from inside,.And several other things I thought made it more user friendlier.I love it it rides like a Buick

Only problem was rear a/c. Dealer promptly fixed. *update* Still love this vehicle, great gas mileage even with all my stop and go traffic. Back seat occupants feel safe and comfortable!!

I really like this little SUV / Crossover. The dealer has let us use this vehicle while our car has been in the shop for the last 1.5 weeks and I'll be a bit sad to let it go. I looks great on the outside and inside and I can fit my 6ft 3in 215lbs 50 year old frame into the very comfortable, heated, leather, drivers seat just fine with plenty of head room. It's easy to get out of too and the roomy rear seat area is similar. Our vehicle comes with heated rear seats and rear HVAC controls. The interior is nicely equipped with faux wood highlights and panels, the dash knobs and buttons and the instrument cluster gauges seem to be well placed and the infotainment system works great other than sometimes it automatically connects to my iphone and other times it asks to connect. This might be because the SUV is in demonstration mode... at least this is what the SUV tells me whenever I start it up. I also like the auto open/close rear hatch. I can adjust it so it only opens 3/4 or fully. With it set at 3/4 I can open it in my garage. It drives very nicely and comfortably and I have good visibility other than the front window posts are a bit thick which looks nice but sometimes can hide an approaching car. The vehicle is punchy and takes off well when I hit the throttle hard but it obviously doesn't have the 300hp my sedan has. It brakes well and holds a line well while accelerating, cruising and braking. It also has the auto start feature. It's kind of weird coming to a stop at a stop light and feeling the engine stop. It starts right up quickly so really no complaints there, I just wish it would wait a bit longer before shutting down. Overall, I really really like this SUV. It's comfortable, handles nicely, has plenty of comfort features, quiet and seems well made. That being said, there's only 5k miles on it and I've only had it for a week and a half.
