Buick Should Be Ashamed
I recently downsized from a Buick Enclave to a new 2024 Envision ST, and as someone who has been buying cars for over 40 years, I have to say this has been the worst automobile purchase I have ever made. The Enclave was one of the best vehicles I've ever owned, but the Envision is a complete disappointment. It doesn’t even come close to the quality that Buick used to represent. Instead, this car feels cheaply made and poorly assembled—just a shadow of the Buicks I once knew. I’ve owned the Envision for less than five weeks, yet it’s already spent nearly three of those weeks in the shop. As of yesterday, the dealership informed me it would need to stay there for another one to two weeks. And keep in mind—this is a brand-new car. With issues like missing paint on the roof, a dead battery, and broken interior trim, the biggest flaw is the unbearable road noise. Around town, it’s manageable, but during an 11-hour road trip with my wife (a trip we’ve taken more than 50 times in various cars), the noise at highway speeds was overwhelming. It was so loud that we had to give up trying to have a conversation, and by the end of the trip, we were miserable. It’s a sharp-looking car, but that is where anything positive about it ends. In short, this car is terrible. I strongly advise against purchasing the 2024 Envision ST. Buick should be ashamed to release such a low-quality product.

Comfy Ride, but I wanted an American made model.
I've had my 2023 Envision Preferred for 3000 miles in two months. I did not consider any of the Japanese or Korean brands. I was disappointed when I got it home and read the small print on the window sticker telling me the car was assembled in China with 90% Chinese content. The car itself is well made, comfortable and quiet. My favorite features are the lane assist and Apple car play for navigation. The the 4 cylinder turbo is more than adequate and has delivered an average of 28+ mpg in mostly non city traffic. I was disappointed that the preferred trim does not include a driver side rear hatch release/

Extreme Sportscar in a SUV
Smaller than a Terrian, bigger than an Encore, Good trunk space and has 4 modes of driving. Ride is easy on the body and smooth, Front doors open wide for getting in and out (Have not tried back seats yet.) Dashboard is awesome with lighting around the front dashboard and on the sides of the front seat doors. It also has a light in the rear to slide your foot under when opening the trunk. Great back camera for easy use of seeing back vision from the driver's perception. Cruise control does not have the slow down feature behind other cars. Miss this feature.

HANDLES FAR BETTER WHEN YOU EXPLORE CAPABILITIES!
As a Senior driver with accident-free driving in all kinds of cars since 1960, and MANY high-powered ones in the group, this past week's country driving in Northwestern Ontario absolutely made me fall in love with the handling of this vehicle I've already owned for almost one year! (2023 Buick Envision Avenir) On large superhighways, the car steers and tracks so perfectly and effortlessly it feels like it's in some kind of automatic mode even when it's not! THEN, when it's driven on a "dirt/gravel" road in a true wilderness environment, being able to select a driving mode (one of several choices!) for OFFROAD HANDLING, this car absolutely SHINES! On a 90 kilometer (about 55+ miles) forest logging road enroute to a remote fishing lodge, the longest straight part was never more than about 75 yards before more sharp gravel curves, constant blind steep dirt hills and bends, potholes, etc. I cannot image ANY vehicle being more stable and secure when driven over big bumps and bends and fallen tree branches and all. Even the mileage was terrific! On this part of our road trip on this logging road, the only vehicles we encountered were 4-wheel drive trucks! By the way, our car was "loaded" with all manner of heavyweight fishing needs & gear for 2 people. When back in 'civilization' & driven on superhighways, our overall gas mileage averaged just 6.7 liters per 100 kilometers (60+ miles) ie. about 12 gallons Cdn. of regular gas over total driving of about 600 miles! So if anyone wants a classy urban-looking SUV with lots of handy features and smooth driving in a car that changes personality as you need it to, I can't recommend anything better than our Buick Envision Avenir.
