New Car!

Glad that you enjoy the Envision Essence. I'm not even sure what it is about SUV's that make me instinctively want to hate them, but I do for some reason.

My interest in SUV's all started with my 2017 Buick Encore. I immediately liked the dorky jellybean shape of that car; it reminded me of my '07 Yaris.

The Encore was actually just a small hatchback that was quick enough, very nimble, and had tons of interior volume. Unlike the Toyota, the paint quality was outstanding. It also had the advantage of being tomb quiet, happy to cruise all day long at 80MPH and feel like 50MPH, and it had the most comfortable seats ever. Interesting that it was an Opel (Germany) platform assembled in South Korea... without a single issue with fit, finish, and materials. I loved that car!

I wanted to get another Encore, but good deals weren't to be found anywhere. I stumbled upon the Buick Envision (Opel Platform) for an unbelievable deal that I couldn't pass up. Of course, it doesn't have the fun factor of the Encore, and it took a bit to get used to driving a bigger car, but I am really enjoying it and the extra space for toting things around.
