| Answer to: Why are so many new cars poorly made? | 33Relevance | 4 years ago | Chuck Tobias | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| Not many people remember that engine was derived from the old Buick aluminum V8 of the early 1960s. It's basically that engine with two cylinders removed and the block cast in iron instead of aluminum. That original V6 was sold to Kaiser in 1967 for use in Jeeps, and AMC acquired the engine with the purchase of Jeep in 1970. Then AMC sold the V6 back to Buick in 1973, preferring their own inline six. (Buick actually wanted AMC to sell them complete engines but the latter didn't want to retool to produce them, so sold everything back to Buick.) Being deve ... | |||||
| Answer to: Your Perspective On All New Buicks? | 33Relevance | 4 years ago | Kaizen | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| IMHO, Buick doesn’t exist anymore. GM is milking the last ounce of Buick that it can. It seems to now be the SUV/Crossover brand for GM. Trucks go to GMC. Luxury goes to Cadillac. And SUV/Crossover goes to Buick. And Chevy has a mix of all of the above sans the luxury. It’s not exact, but that is generally how I see it. They also own other brands which aren’t in the US. For most of Buick’s existence, it has used GM platforms, and it added a Buick personality to these GM platforms. Since GM has gotten more and more global, Buick has adopted platforms ... | |||||

| Scotty, that is incorrect. The 2017-2019 Buick Lacrosse is assembled in Detroit, MI. Meanwhile, the 2018-2020 Buick Regal Sportback GS is assembled at the GM-Opel Russelsheim factory by GM Europe for the North American market. Source: | |||||

| 3 month old Encore with 1,800 miles. Going back to the shop for the 5th time. Problems still unresolved. Squeezing every ounce of power out of tiny engines isn't a good recipe. | |||||

| Daywalker thanks for your answer to my question. Yes unfortunately it needs to be a pickup truck. I am over 6 foot tall and cars are just simply too low for me to get in and out of. My Encore was decent in that regard but I aggravated my back in Jan 2021 and my 2002 GMC Sierra was the only vehicle that I could get in and out of with ease. | |||||
| Answer to: Quality of Buick | 29Relevance | 5 years ago | Justin Shepherd | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| The Buick Encore is literally made in China and imported to the states. When I heard that several years ago I knew to never mess with one of those. Modern GM's problems and Chinese quality are no road I ever want to go down. As Kesterpaul 62 said, I'd find an early 2000s Buick with the 3800 V6. Those are halfway decent cars with tried and true engines. That 3.8L was originally designed for a carburetor in the 60s and updated for fuel injection. A version of it was actually the base engine in my 1979 Pontiac Catalina, and the only one legal in California ... | |||||
| Answer to: What are your opinions on buicks? | 33Relevance | 5 years ago | Elon Dusk | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| My first car was a 2006 Buick and it was a nightmare. It started to have problem at 60k miles. Firstly, the timing belt randomly snapped when I was driving and I lost control of the steering wheel. Lucky for Buick, I was in a parking lot. If I was on the road, GM would be slapped with a lawsuit. Then not long after, the fuel injector went bad. Next, something went wrong with electrical system. Next, the AC went out in the middle of the summer. I don’t understand why people buy Buick. None of the vehicle look better than the Highlander or the RAV4. They are ... | |||||
| E15/Unl.88 Gasoline | 31Relevance | 2 years ago | Jdunn | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| ... a few months. A 2014 Buick Encore (1.4l turbo) and a 2015 Chevrolet Sonic (1.8l). The Sonic, with about 45k miles, ran perfectly fine for the past 2 months or so on 88. The only thing I noticed wrong was I was averaging 2mpg less than normal -- 32 to 30 -- so I didn't think anything of it. I tried 88 once in the Encore on a trip across the state and when I got home after a few days the check engine light came on. Now, I know everyone would jump to point fingers at the gas, but about 3 months ago, I had my oil changed at the dealer and they screwed it up and ... | |||||

| So in 2020 I bought my very first new car, a Buick Encore GX. I didn't want a Buick really because nobody in my family EVER bought or had a Buick but of course I was in need of something new. When I drive the car off the lot it was ticking, New cars I thought used to be quiet. Driving from MI to TN often I have 58K miles on it. Friday Jan 6th the check engine light came on and all this crazy stuff started happening. The rear camera came in while I was driving forward which made me think I was driving backwards and almost caused me to get into an accident. T ... | |||||

| I own a 2014 Buick Encore with a 1.4L turbo engine and automatic transmission. It has 53000 miles on it and randomly it will loss power, shakes and stutters when traveling at highway speeds. The local Buick dealer did a diagnostic test and said the turbo was bad. We had them install a new turbo and the same problem occurred after the new turbo was installed. We returned the vehicle to the dealer and they installed a second turbo stating that the first turbo was bad. On the way home from the dealer today the same problem happened . As I follow the vehicle ... | |||||

| Buick used to make good cars but now they are more like luxury cars and they have electronical. They break down before reaching 100000miles and their maintenance cost is really expensive. In my opinion if you wanna go with Buick lease it. But if you reliability and performance get honda civic type R or honda civic si coup both are fun zippie cars and last u for long time if taken care properly If you.want performance and luxury get acura. Acura is honda luxury line | |||||

| Neither are very good quality to be honest. Jeep consistently ranks poorly in the consumer report papers for reliability and Buick isn't far behind. After working for GM for a decade, I'd still go with the Jeep as I've got too much first hand experience with Buick to ever buy one. But don't expect it to be trouble free. | |||||

| Assuming the Lucerne has the Buick 3800 engine, those engines are bulletproof. If it has the 3.9, then it is also not bad. If it has the 4.6 Northstar Cadillac engine, then you might also be ok. The Buick Lucerne is Buick's version of the Cadillac DTS which wasn't necessarily a bad car. The Buick LeSabre that you are looking at is also a good car. Test drive them both and see which one you like. | |||||
