| Should I buy a new Buick Encore or Civic | 47Relevance | 5 years ago | motoair | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| Hello Scotty, How’s it going in Tennessee? I bet it’s nice compared to Huston. I’m in CA and there’s a mass exodus as well here. Looking to buy a new car and stuck between two. American vs Japanese. 2021 Buick Encore GX or 2021 Honda Civic hatchback sport. I’ve watched your videos for a long time and can already hearing you saying go with the Honda. I would typically agree but value your opinion. What is you overall opinion on each in a more general sense? i started reading up on the engine and transmission combinations for both manufacturers and had som ... | |||||

| Answer to: Why are so many new cars poorly made? | 36Relevance | 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 ... | |||||

| 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 ... | |||||

| 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. | |||||

| Answer to: Are chrysler better than buick | 29Relevance | 5 years ago | Whatchamacallit | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| The 2000 Buick LeSabre has the same powertrain (pretty stout and reliable 3.8L Series II 3800 V6 engine mated to the 4-speed 4T65-E transmission) as the Buick Park Avenue. Between the Buick and Chrysler, go with the Buick. Be sure to have a mechanic thoroughly check it out first and give the OK before going through with the purchase. Although at 21+ years old, be aware the plastic, rubber, seals, etc. may need to be replaced, and some of the electronics may not all be working. | |||||
| Answer to: What are your opinions on buicks? | 36Relevance | 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 ... | |||||
| Slowest selling used and new vehicles | 30Relevance | 3 years ago | Whatchamacallit | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| According to a recent study by iSeeCars the following 10 vehicles were the slowest-selling used cars and all took longer than 60 days to sell on average: . Buick Enclave: 64.3 days Chrysler 300: 64.7 Chevrolet Blazer: 65.9 Land Rover Range Rover: 68.4 Tesla Model X: 71.4 Cadillac XT4: 71.9 Land Rover Discovery Sport: 73.6 Ford Mustang Mach-E: 75.8 Buick Envision: 82.3 Tesla Model S: 88.3 . Meanwhile, the following 10 new cars were the slowest-moving and averaged more than 80 days. . Infiniti QX80: 87.2 Nissan Murano: 88.7 Ford Edge: 93.6 Nissan Leaf: 95.2 Lincoln Aviator: 105.1 Mazda MX-5 Miata: 107.3 Ford Mustang: 108.6 Buick Envision: 117.0 Land Rover Discovery Sport: 119.4 Jeep Cherokee: 128.7 . Overall, used cars sold in 49 days on average, which iSeeCars noted as an improvement over a year ago. At the same time, new car sales have slowed by 25.7 percent, and electric vehicles of all types take twice as long to sell on average than they did in the previous year. While that’s not the best news for automakers, it could mean better prices and a stronger negotiating position for buyers in the finance office. Then again, with the exception of the Mazda Miata none of these vehicles are ones Scotty or we recommend to buy in the first place. . Source: | |||||

| Answer to: Quality of Buick | 23Relevance | 5 years ago | Whatchamacallit | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| Are you planning on keeping the Buick Encore for a long time and put 100,000-200,000 miles on it (or more)? If so, stay as far away as possible, esp. since GM quality has mostly gone downhill since the early 2000s (even earlier than that). Besides the powertrain, electrical issues will most likely get you at some point and a royal pain to track down and fix. Also, see below: | |||||

| Buick is actually decent in reliability out of the GM line up. Chrysler is owned by the Italian and French. That’s not a good combination. If it were me I’d pass on both. If I had to choose I’d buy the Buick. As long as the Buick got a clean bill of health. | |||||

| That's not really a Buick, it's an Opel with Buick badges. Trouble is that GM sold off Opel to PSA group (Peugeot and Citroen) making that "Buick" wagon something of an orphan in this country. It's anyone's guess what the prospects for parts and service are going to be on that vehicle moving forward. | |||||

| Buick has long been pretty much dead for the last couple of decades. The current Buick line-up it's just fancier versions or sedan versions of regular GM products (Tracker, Trailblazier, Malibu and the Traverse), Beforehand, most Buick models were mostly just rebadged Opels. Either way, the cars aren't great at all. Their current manufacturing facilities are actually interesting, The Korean ones are built by "GM of Korea" previously known as Daewoo motors.
