No governor and I've had it st 120
The only problem I've had is with the backup camera and deck on hot days and rainy days glitching! I love the way it runs and drives and handles very well! The seats aren't real comfy but there ok

Great purchase and reliable vehicle.
I have not had any issues with my vehicle. It is comfortable and convenient. The vehicle is the perfect size. I get pretty good gas mileage. It drives great and picks up speed. I also enjoy the moon roof. The features are great and I love the heated steering wheel in the winter.

Buick best handling with a smooth ride.
Great smooth ride. Plenty of space and awesome features. A joy to drive handles well with a classy interior handles well on long trips and no problems with mechanical I would buy again. This vehicle has Bluetooth and heated seats with all the bells and whistles. I would definitely recommend this vehicle for a family or single.

Safety, comfort and luxury.
We purchased this vehicle after an accident that totalled our beloved Volkswagen passat. Although the passat saved our lives I couldn't get the image of the car that hit us out of my mind, so close at eye level. I knew I wanted the height that an SUV provides and as many safety features as I could find. The Buick envision provides this. It feels safe and stable on the road. It rides quietly with great suspension, lots of extras like heated seats and a great sound system. It syncs with my phone so I can use my phone to navigate while listening to Pandora. I love my car.

I love my heated steering wheel.
Love my envision. I have leased all types of vehicles for 18 yrs my envision is by far the best experience thus far.

Could use some work but fun to drive.
Mostly tight with 3 car seats in the back seat. Has been in the shop for repairs 3 times in the last 4 months, same issue each time. Handles well on slick roads. Radio controls are somewhat bothersome. Moon roof is nice. Could use more trunk space. AWD is great.

Air conditioning in rear seat not working
Just after 3 years my rear air conditioning in my car stop working. The same thing happened to my friend envision. We have the year and model.
accountCircle Daniel B
The interior is very good and I recommend the car just for that.
It is not very reliable in desperate situations. It will begin to make weird sounds when it is moving downhill. This makes it not my favorite car that I own. But it is also very inefficient on gas. I do not recommend the car but the interior is very nice.
accountCircle Sally R
Love all the hands free features.
It is a great vehicle, however I dislike the shut off feature at stop signs and it's a lot smaller than I like. I am experiencing trouble with the paint bubbling up and it appears to rust. Otherwise it has been a very good vehicle. Runs well and handles well in the snow.
accountCircle A M
It is durable. The csr runs very well.
I love almost everything about my car. The only thing I wish different is that it had the third row now that we have a third child.
accountCircle Chris N
Wish the mirrors would hold it is settings.
Drives very smooth. The mirrors will not hold their settings. Hate that, have to constantly move them back to the original settings no matter how we try will not hold. Good gas mileage in city or long trips. Lots of bells and whistles on this SUV, still haven't figured out everything.
accountCircle Emily W
Auto shut off feature is terrible.
The auto stop feature cannot be turned off and is extremely annoying to use. The touchless open for the trunk never works either. And the side view mirror car alerts do not always work. Aside from that the car gets decent gas mileage for highway, but terrible city mileage. The auto shut off feature is my least favorite thing.
accountCircle Sally R
You only need to have the key fob on you. . . No more fumbling for the keys.
I like this car, it is reliable, looks nice and it has a lot of new features. I have not had any problems with performance or any repairs. It seats 4 comfortably but you can squeeze in a 5 th if necessary. I like that the back seats will lay flat for hauling large items.

Pros from Owners

likeFilled Mary H.

There are many pros to the Buick envision vehicle. I like having this vehicle because of the good storage, the heated steering wheels, the nice interior leather with a beautiful chocolate brown. I love the way it drives easily.

likeFilled Rudolph W.

This vehicle has a very smooth ride and handles really well on the road. Many amenities make this vehicle a luxurious experience while on the road. Comes in many colors and the instrument panel has many convenient gears.

likeFilled Robin S.

Drives smooth. Great features. Room for family of 4. Plenty of cargo room. Great gas mileage. Tight steering. Remote start. Heated seats. All the info you could need on your dash. Bluetooth enabled. Dual air.

likeFilled Dana M.

Luxurious car for less money. Nice options (power lift tailgate, remote start, keyless entry, heated seats, etc) even on base model. Very nice/smooth ride. Great on gas. Very good vehicle for day to day activity.

Cons from Owners

dislikeFilled Mary H.

The cons of the Buick envision include the lack of color selections for the exterior. They need to have a better selection for the white color. I also think the storage in the front could be better than it is.

dislikeFilled Rudolph W.

I do not have heated steering wheel and in winter this is a must. Small blind spot but can work around it. Size is just right but needs more ventilation for back seat passengers. Would easily recommend this vehicles.

dislikeFilled Robin S.

Small for more than 4 people. Gas tank on the passenger side instead if drivers. Not enough cup holders. Back air could be stronger. Vents are not in great positions for optimal warmth or cooling. Better speakers.

dislikeFilled Dana M.

Consider the size of the vehicle for you lifestyle. It works for a family of 4 as a day to day vehicle. But if you plan to take trips (even just overnights) consider a larger vehicle. Or add a roof rack and get an exterior carriage.

The envision has been very reliable no problems at all. I have had it for two years besides the general oil changes there has been zero problems
