I always found it really weak under 4k rpm and very loud/gruff vs the Lexus 3.5 engines, they also tend to kill chains among a list of other serious issues.

There is a reason 3.6 cars are so cheap used lol!

 

Are you talking about the first-generation 3.6 or the second? The second corrected a number of problems in the first, and was highly respected by the auto-press.

 

Rental car lots don't discriminate. I've seen plenty of Enclaves, Encores, and Envisions for rent in my travels. That's also why Enterprise has 192 Buicks for sale on their website with the vast majority being ex rentals.

 

Any and all of them. The base, the DI doesn't matter.....all have issues and none really had much power down low vs competitors

 

feelin' the buick love here...

 

Do they come with a Life Alert membership yet?

 

Buicks are very common in rental car fleets

 

OnStar I think

See the problem is I am talking smack but if the lease deals on the Envista get good enough I will buy one. Heck I am at the point I am seriously considering a cheap CUV lease as a work vehicle because overall costs and write offs, plus when it's cold outside I can just limiter tap it until I get heat like some people do lol!

 

what does this mean?

 

I know some people who will start a car in winter and hold it at redline to "get heat faster"..........yes that level of stupid exists.

 

must be a bunch of hillbillies. I’ve never heard of that

 

Mostly inner city types actually lol!
