How about Buick cars?
3 Answers
Buick cars are quite good. Buick is a brand under General Motors of the United States. By improving the overhead valve engine design originally used for non-vehicle purposes in earlier years, Buick introduced a powerful and structurally simple overhead valve engine for automobiles. Compared to the side-valve design widely used in engines at that time, Buick adjusted the valves to the top, improving intake efficiency. Combined with an excellent cooling system, this enhanced the engine's combustion efficiency. Buick's vehicle lineup includes: the all-electric Velite6, LaCrosse, Regal, Verano, Envision, Excelle, Excelle GT, Excelle, Enclave, Encore, GL8, GL6, and Park Avenue.
Driving a Buick feels pretty good. I've been driving the Excelle for almost five years now, using it daily for commuting. Buick cars offer high comfort levels with well-wrapped seats that don't fatigue your back on long drives. In terms of power, the 1.5T engine responds promptly, making overtaking effortless. The downside is slightly higher fuel consumption, averaging about 9L/100km in city driving, though it drops a bit on highways. Safety features are quite comprehensive, with standard reverse radar and ESP, giving peace of mind while driving. The rear space is adequate, fitting several suitcases without feeling cramped. However, the interior design is somewhat dated with noticeable plastic textures. Overall, it's suitable for family daily use with decent cost performance. If the budget allows, considering the more upscale Buick Regal would offer more exciting handling.
As someone who values driving experience, I find Buick vehicles to be above average overall. The handling feels solid, with precise steering and clear road feedback, offering good stability when cornering. Models like the Buick GL8, an MPV, excel in comfort with soft suspension tuning that prevents passenger motion sickness. However, the power output can sometimes lag, and the response to sudden acceleration isn’t as quick. The interior materials are substantial, and the NVH noise reduction is well-handled, ensuring a quiet cabin. Maintenance costs are cheaper than German cars, with minor services around 400 RMB. In terms of reliability, the engines rarely have issues, though some parts can be slightly expensive. Overall, Buick offers a well-balanced drive, ideal for users seeking practicality and comfort.
