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.

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,

I recently purchased the Envision with the Preferred Package. I was looking for a mid-size SUV to go along with the small SUV I purchased a few months ago. The dealership I went to had over $12, 300 in incentives. With my trade in, I was able to upgrade from a 2014 Lincoln MKZ to the Envision. The technology available is the best I've ever had with a vehicle. The ride is classic Buick, smooth and comfortable. I would recommend to anyone considering a mid-size SUV.
