Part l - I was looking for a Buick Envision or Encore for one reason. Buick's Quiet Tuning. I was trading in a Hyundai Sonata Limited. Beautiful car. All the bells and whistles but not very smooth or quiet. And as it turns out the GDI engine is a disaster. I was raised on American luxury cars and I'm not ashamed to say I prefer the softer "boat-like" ride of American vehicles to the tighter sportier ride of European, and Asian vehicles. So I looked at a lot of Envisions but could not find one with the features I wanted in my price range. And to be honest the Encore was just a bit too small. I was ready to settle on a Nissan Rogue when this Envision Essence popped up. I went to the dealer, Echo Park, and had a very pleasant buying experience and got it. I like the Envision very much. The ride is smoother and considerably quieter. Yesterday I was playing music from my library on my phone not loud but loud enough and turned a corner and found myself right in front of a firehouse. Both the ambulance and fire truck were charging out lights blazing and sirens blaring and I could barely hear it. Maybe not such a good thing but confirmation that I now have the quiet vehicle that I have been searching for. The interior is beautiful. Leather, Heated Seats, not the Bose sound system offered in the Premium I and II but very good. Pano Sunroof, and lots more. Exterior, Beautiful Red paint. I've never had a red car before. The expected nicks and small scratches of a four-year-old SUV. Love the styling of the headlights and front grill treatment. I like the wheels very much. In fact, I like them more every day that I look at them. There does seem to be something a bit glitchy about the electronics involving the door locks and the way the touch screen and dash lights turn off when I exit and lock the doors. Heading back to Echo Park today to have that looked at as I have a 1000-mile warranty still in effect. Overall I am very pleased with my purchase. Part ll - I have now had my Envision for 6 months and I like this SUV more now than I did when I wrote Part l. I have had the "glitchy electronics" looked at and was told by the Buick Dealership there was nothing they could do unless they could recreate the issue in the shop so they could trace it to its origin and, of course, they couldn't. So I have become so used to these issues ( and they really are quite minor) that now I don't even notice them when they do happen. I love driving this vehicle. Being up above the traffic with a better view of what's in front of me as opposed to my previous sedan is a subtle but important feature. The four-cylinder engine is quiet and produces enough power and acceleration for me but I am not a speed freak. I like to cruise in style and luxury. Love the power liftgate. I've never had one before and it is a very nice upgrade. I live in Texas so I don't get to use the Pano Sunroof as often as I would like. The Summers here are too hot and last nearly 5 months but in the Spring and Fall, it is a welcome luxury. I wish it got better MPGs. A vehicle this size with an inline four should get at least 30 combined but I get more like 26-27. Some of the Nissan Rouge models I was considering got 31-32 combined but ultimately it was Buick's Quiet Tuning that tipped the scales.

I have an Encore and traded the Enclave, didn't need the size, for Envision. Has only 4,090 miles. I don't feel a five star is in order until I get more miles. It is very quiet, decent performance, great gas mileage, and very short turning radius. Ride is smooth, but as indicated, does give some rougher rides over some roads. I wish it was not built in China, but overall, done very nicely. I may purchase when lease is up. Mine is the Essence model. Great leg room for my 6' 1" frame.

A rather sporty, comfortable driving, car. Liked it much better than the Equinox or the Escape we tested.

Handles well, extremely quiet in the city and on the Highway. Interior is much better then any other 5 seater in its class. Touch controls and blue tooth are great. Extras that come with the premium 1 model are just right, very hesitant on getting Premium 2 model with $5,000 extra on price tag. Drove 14 other vehicles in this 5 Seater class of SUV, and this one kept coming up on top. Wife drove it and was more or less sold after the first test drive except for the one we drove did not have a turbo. Once the turbo was driven, the car sold itself. Have had the Envision for 6 months now and the wife loves it, so comfortable with heated steering wheel and heated seats, makes winter temps more comfortable with auto start feature to include auto heating of seats based on outside temps. Sirius XM just like our previous vehicle we owned, but with nice sized touch screen. Was glad we drove all the SUV's in this class and within the same price range for a vehicle that we will keep for years to come. Disappointed they went away from the bronze color in the 2020 model though. Our vehicle and specs were not easy to find in dealerships within the state of North Carolina. Reminder that a turbo is a must if you want the get up and go, r you are just driving a 4 cylinder suv.
