I know, I know. "muh suv/crossover, muh get a sports car, muh miata" but I like it, I really do. Without the back seats it seems like a great vehicle for me/girl/dog to go camping or take extended trips without having super shit gas mileage and a super large vehicle. In fact, it's not much heavier than a civic/corolla/mazda3, is shorter than all of them but still has more rear leg room (which doesn't matter if I don't take more than one passenger) and starts around the same price point of ~22 grand.
The Chevy Trax is the exact same car and you can get one of the 2017's for around 17k.
-t Guy who's parents traded their boomer-barge SUV in for this little guy and it has been great.
Easton Evans
A 2017 trax msrp is only 1k lower than a buick encore's.
Dominic Howard
If you get that car, you'll start knitting and making cookies.
Caleb Thomas
post tits. only old women like this car.
it's slow as fuck. you'd be better suited to a 15k v6 rav4.
Kevin Jackson
Get a used 4runner you cuck.
Buying a new crossover in the current year is a retarded meme.
Anthony Wood
Know someone who had the Chevy version. Pile of shit. Tractor diesel. Cheap look and feel. Rattly. Harsh seats and ride for something this tall. Bad visibility.
Oliver Morris
Stop the thread! Op must know what the Pontiac Aztek is the best crossover out there
Nicholas Parker
>only 1k cheaper for the same car
Ryan Thomas
Get the Ford Escape. Even the 1.6 ecoboost has more power, or you can upgrade to the 2.0 and get 240 HP
Jason Sanchez
it's shitty and soulless. but solid gas mileage. feels like a rental car. tiny fords are prob better but encore is selling well, so it's not so bad
Connor Wilson
Don't do it, OP. I had to drive a trax for a few weeks and wanted to die.
>Slow as dogshit >Electronic throttle is either nothing or WOT >Steering feels disconnected from the road >Poor rear visibility >Cheap as fuck plastic rattly interior >Ride is stiff and uncomfortable >Topheavy
Listen to
Gavin Ortiz
It looks short and stubby
Thomas Gonzalez
honestly sounds like my rav 4 but rav4 is kinda fun when the road is dirt or snow and ice. Then its in its own element.
John Reed
Buick has a much better interior than the trax.
Aaron Green
You can get a first gen Acura RDX with the K23 Turbo motor and the torque vectoring SH-AWD for less than these pieces of shit
Bentley Gutierrez
a nicer interior doesn't fix the fact that it's slow as fuck
Brandon Powell
I doubt OP is getting a crossover to bench race you fucking dipshits.
When did the car community become so fucking retarded?
Jackson Davis
It's not about benchracing. It's called having adequate power for merging.
Chase Sanders
>recommending a better shot of for a better price >retarded
The absolute state of you
Easton Green
Honest question. Why a crossover as apposed to a Cruze, Civic, Golf? Is the backseat that much bigger?
A hatchback would be so much better to drive.
Noah Powell
t b h the new redesigned gmc terrain is pretty sharp -- far more muscular/masculine. i assume similar msrp
Gavin Rivera
This. It's a slow euroshitbox, and while it might have enough power to merge when everyone else is driving 1.2l diesel shitboxes, in America it's borderline unsafe when even a shitbox Accord or Camry has a 300hp V6 option.
Caleb Robinson
Because power=driving speed? Why would a v6 accord's 75mph be any worse than a civic's?
Charles Miller
why do Americans consider this a luxury car? the European version of this is a bottom tier rental car for a family of 4
Thomas Martinez
>Comprehension It's about getting to speed you fucking moron, no one is debating whether 75mph is more dangerous in a Civic or an Accord, Jesus you're fucking dumb
Elijah Rogers
Because the brand and trim levels they are sold with, seriously
Nathaniel Sanders
Because people fall for GM's "rebadge this car and charge 70% more for it" and have for the past half-century
Jack Bailey
Oh I wasn't aware speed limits in USA were fucking 190mph. lrn 2 carry speed through corners. I can merge in my 1.8l shitbox easily because from the apex of highway ramp I need to only accelarate for 10 mph if its raining.
Alexander Ortiz
Yeah, problem with that is when you have slow people merging in front of you If they have a car that can accelerate faster than you from the speed they are forcing everyone behind them to go, then they have no disadvantage You're also not taking into consideration that motorists on the highway are selfish as fuck and do dumb shit like not move out of the right lane when a merging on ramp is coming up
But how would you know considering you've never been out of your socialist shithole of a continent
Isaiah Walker
>while it might have enough power to merge when everyone else is driving 1.2l diesel shitboxes, in America it's borderline unsafe when even a shitbox Accord or Camry has a 300hp V6 option. So a diesel shitbox's 75mph isn't as dangerous then
Ian Mitchell
That eco boost is utter garbage. Lag from hell.
Robert Butler
75MPH is 75MPH. How quickly you can get there compared to the rest of traffic determines how dangerous you are.
Luis Hall
>Why shouldn't I look into this car? >Buying a GM product
If you're content with subpar build quality and materials, then go for it. There's a reason why actual luxury brands don't retail for $22K new.
Liam Allen
Buick gets top marks in reliability and owner satisfaction.
Jordan Bennett
ironic shillposting is still shillposting
Anthony Reyes
Look it up doode
Robert Baker
Don't sass me boy
Kevin Flores
My gf and I teat drove it when she was looking for a new car. We liked it and all but its too small.
If you want a small suv just get the Forester like we did.
Ethan Price
When all seats are folded its got a good amount of room
Michael Brooks
I'd never buy a FWD GM product. Everyone of my friends who has regretted it.
Camden Cook
if you want a normie car, please get something lexus
Jaxson Barnes
I wouldn't buy one of these -- but they lease well. strong MPG, onstar, sirius, roadside, free oil changes. soulless, sure -- but practical.
Nolan Ross
It's fun to toss around (for a tiny SUV), and the headroom is incredible, but the acceleration isn't exactly peppy, and I drove the fastest accelerating one.
Jace Davis
You really know nothing about Buicks differentiation from Chevy.
Buicks get the better engines, better sound deadening, and better materials and much better build quality.
