My last vehicle was a Cadillac SRX and my wife and I loved it. When it was time for a new vehicle we were on the lot looking at the SRX again and my wife saw the Envision and we both decided to test drive it. Two hours later and thousands of dollars saved, we drove home in the Envision. One year later and we still like the vehicle a lot Comfortable and it has almost all the luxury features our Cadillac had! If I had to say anything negative, it would be that it is a just a bit underpowered with the 2.5L compared to the 3.5 in the Caddy. But that isn't to say it's not peppy or can't easily get from a entry ramp speed of 45 to 75mph in less than 4 seconds. This was my first Buick and likely not the last.

I bought my Envision in December 2017. My husband and I always bought Oldsmobile's and when GM stopped making them, we switched to Buick. Had an Enclave, but had some problems with it and decided I wanted something slightly smaller anyway. I tried the Encore, but thought it was too small. Then the dealer said "What about the Envision?" I had never even heard of it, but as soon as I sat in it I was hooked. I ordered one black on black and as soon as I picked him up I decided to name him "Max". Of all the cars I have had over the years Max is the best by far. After five years he's never needed anything more than regular servicing, and the dealership I take him to always tells me that the Envision is one of the best cars for reliability they've ever had, He has all the bells and whistles (some ot which I must admit I still haven't figured out) and he's just a real joy to drive. Every once in a while when I'm driving him I think about just taking off and heading across the country - he's that great to drive. Of course, since I'm 80 years old I guess that's not practical. Still . . . I don't understand why GM doesn't advertise these wonderful cars. They're a perfect mid-size and Max still gets compliments on his good looks. Needless to say, I heartily recommend the Buick Envision.

I purchased a Buick Envision a little over a year ago. I discovered shortly after completing my purchase that my new car did not have a CD player. While I love my Envision, the fact that I do not have a CD player has plagued me for the last year. I have downloaded to a flash drive and it is just not the same as having control over my what I want to listen to. I even went to Best Buy today to see if they had a cd/mp3player that would work in my car. They don’t. Bottom line. I WOULD NEVER HAVE BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE HAD I KNOWN THAT I DID NOT HAVE A CD PLAYER. I Guess it’s back to BMW for me.
