- We review the sought after Buick Encore GX ST. An upscale version of the normal car that adds excitement, refinement, and flare to the interior and driving experience. This American cruiser adds the features many want like a heated steering wheel, wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay while delivering a ferociously experience with GMs globally potent 3 Cylinder Turbo Charged engine. This SUV is a game-changer. Would you consider this over the Toyota RAV4, Nissan Rogue, Mazda CX30, Ford Escape, Honda HRV, or CRV?

When they’re driving together and giggling, they look like a married couple leaving Walmart after they discovered the checkout girl forgot to scan the microwave oven and so they got it for free.
Highly specific there lol
She forgot to scan a large appliance?
@@uncleren It was on the bottom of the cart

lol! Except for us, it was the king-size sheets!
"The problem with this car is that other cars exist" 💀💀
lol
I’m dead…Jack Singapore at his best.
No truer words have ever been spoken.
And most of those cars don't carry the baggage of being a GM product
haha, i laughed at this part too.
Premium niche content like this keeps me ENGAGED.
Seriously, review more trash, I like the PAIN.
I might like the reviews on terrible cars more tbh

So you are a Hoovie’s Garage subscriber too?

For me this kind of a review of 1000x more interesting than random supercars I'll never drive.
EXACTLY

You have a wife??
🤣
Honestly laughed all the way. Need more of this, maybe in a Terrible Car Thursday or whatnot
Seriously, if you are skipping SG videos on downmarket cars, you are missing the best content.

The Brands probably wouldnt like that even if it is something they would deserve to be dragged over the coals for some of the products they release to the public.
This is "premium entertainment" as far as i am concerned..

I originally had an 84 month loan lined up for one of these Buick smokeshows, but seeing Todd again encouraged me to go all the way - 108 months, premium!!!!!
You’re not a real baller until you’ve got that 27.2% 120 month loan.
Holy hell that's a long loan
@@splewy Ran the numbers thru a calculator. $34k for 120mo at 27.2%? Easy $827/mo payment, total cost just shy of $102,000. Where do I sign?

"Audio doesn't sound like a tin can like some of the base Hyundai and Kia products" .....or VW's flagship sedan.
The 3-cylinder has a unique note to it with windows down. But CVT and turbo make it quite swift on the road.
Ah yes... like the Arteon... Seriously. Shame on you for that, VW.
The standard 6 speaker system in my 2021 VW GTI sounds amazing to me coming from older vehicles lol.
@@Dcc357 Six speakers do begin to struggle with more complex music with many instruments. More speakers and more channels theoretically help.
@@FabienTeulieres93 What's wrong with the Arteon?
Buick's marketing team: "At least they didn't call it a shit box."
"The problem with this car is that other cars exist". Possibly one of the best review lines, I have ever heard. Thank you both for the reviews you put out. They have helped me tremendously.
1:16 that stitching is testament to GM’s phenomenal quality!
I absolutely love this channel, and I must say “The quarter mile, eventually” was the funniest since Volkswagen Beetle ads in the 70’s that would say “Zero to sixty? Yes!”
The official car of being the scapegoat for why we hate crossovers
Its still better looking then a solid 60% of crossovers im building a 2015 encore into a sleeper also their faster then people give em credit for in a race against all the other crossovers it may have less power but it is the lightest one and handles the best.
@@joebone3151 i mean you do you but 99% of other encore buyers buy these because they can;t be seen in a sedan cause of ego issues; or they're geriatrics
@@ShaiyanHossain wel trust me when its gonna be the best sleeper ever
@@joebone3151 how's the sleeper encore going. It's a year later😂😂😂😂
@@inse728 pretty fun even closer to the 170 on my dash I hit 163 the other day
"Uhhh ... do we *have* to review this car?"
"Let's make it quick."
Goddd this feels like a return to form for you guys. I’m loving every second of this. Hilarious.
Got a kick outta Jack saying "I thought this was a different Buick"
LOL
The bigger question - what Buick did Jack *think* he was getting? Their entire lineup is crossovers
@@snailguy5565 I don't know if Buick still makes it, but there's a sharp Buick wagon in the parking lot at work.
@@snailguy5565 Maybe the shittier Encore? I can get why he'd confuse one for the other.
@@snailguy5565 Probably an Envision.
It's so GM to go this route. In the 2013/2015 timeframe after they took bailout money there was an uptick in quality and style. That lasted about two or three years and then it was right back to build it cheap for the rental fleet.
Purchased the AWD version of this for my mother (1.3, 9 speed) ... would agree that it's very well designed and executed for a specific demographic. Did a 2K road trip with it because I needed something with cargo space and it was comfortable, quiet and efficient. Plus ... that red & black grille! I love superfluous sport trims on non-sporty cars.
The ST edition which includes the red highlights and bump rails costs and extra $600. I have one of these cars and it is a great appliance.
That Buick tries to charge more for this than a comparably equipped Mazda CX5 is insane. I do find it totally appropriate that Buick, which only survived the chopping block because the brand was so strong in China, is essentially mostly just captive imports now from Asia.
I did not realize this jewel was hiding in plain sight.
Well Done.
Omg the throwback jungle power!!
This Savagegeese video is more classic than a couple of beef and cheddars with the girlfriend. just don't tell my wife.
Your wife cant smell the love you made over the cheddar sauce.
1:15 Look at that WONDERFUL even stitching. 🤣
You get what you paid for xD
Couldn't help noticing that. Real quality there.
For that bespoke, hand-crafted experience.
Last week.. a 1000HP Corvette C6 ZR1.. this week.. a Buick Encore GX.. and Savage Geese is so entertaining.. I watched them both.
Oh, how I missed Todd! We also need an episode featuring Turbowski, just one. Come on, savagegeese. We miss him in Russia
"The problem that this car has is that other cars exist." Sick burn. 🔥
Jack cracked himself up with that comical observation
I just bought this exact Buick GX but in 1.2engine. I love it. Great vehicle 🚗 and economical in gas!
Love to see Mark grinning ear to ear. One does not simply forget the shenanigans, like putting a garbage bag on random hooks under the car. Priceless! Keep em coming :)
In all seriousness I loved my sister’s 1995 Buick Regal. That thing could coast so amazingly well, it really felt like it could coast uphill, and it was comfortable and soft riding but didn’t feel like a boat. It lasted a long time too.
Right 26 year old car, Buick is lost.
Buick, the sound humans make when they're throwing up in a toilet
Beeew-eck
🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮
Glad you managed to fit the word "knuckle" into this sweet, sweet review
I appreciate what you guys do so much I actually enjoyed this masterpiece of a machine.
This was great, had a stupid smirk on my face during the entire video. Especially the surprise return of Todd and JUNGLE POWER mid video, and Jack’s admission that he didn’t mean to book this thing 😂
Rare sighting of ACTUAL savage geese!
This is fully equipped rav4 hybrid money, ya know
You can buy a used Lexus and still have more power, more luxury and a warranty that will probably outlive this.
or you can buy a Mazda CX30 with a better interior, better reliability, and more fun driving experience
@@RandomVideos-re9ux Or get an actual car for an even better driving experience
The mix of technical info with the humor is spot on here!
I’ve been following this channel for as long as I can remember. You seriously need to have at least a million subscribers.
"if you even know what that means"
I love you
The fact that it's made in Korea is a good thing
@@dragospahontu Or at least not a bad thing. Really, for these world cars it makes very little difference where they're assembled. The parts come from the same plants all over the world.
Again, there's no point to a CVT if it shifts like a regular automatic. I want smooth and shiftless, especially if it's in a Buick.
There is a point, ever heard of "fuel economy"...
@@Mgoblagulkablong I think he was saying if it's a cvt then let it be a cvt, don't make a cvt mimick a regular AT with unnecessary fake shift points
At this price point you are not getting a real transmission.
The point to a artificial shifting CVT is to hide the fact that the transmission is a not so reliable CVT that's being pushed onto the consumer. Buyers don't always read the sticker.
I have friends that are smooth and shiftless.
I had so much fun! Thank you guys👍
Mark, I am so happy you are here making videos for us all
And here I thought the Dodge Ram was the DUI enthusiast's vehicle of choice
#1 official vehicle of rollovers
I have a Jungle Power battery in my 1972 Saab 99, amazing quality considering I bought it at Dollar Tree.
You guys killed it with this one 👏 Jack's Kuato comment made me laugh so hard.
You guys crack me up and I needed a good laugh today great video
Glad to see Toddd is back.
I like how Jack turns into the Joker at the end 😂
awesome video I've had a shitty week and this cheered me right up!! love you guys
I laughed all the way thru this! You guys are GREAT!
That was Savage. Thank you
Your best review ever.
Too funny! I just got an Encore today as a loaner. You are spot on! The brakes were so touchy!
Hey Guys! Love Love your channel! I am one of three watching.
3 cylinders are apparently very good for turbo charging because of big space between exhaust pulses, so no/less interference between them, hence the he yaris 1.6 threepot making 260ps with a relatively small turbo
260ps?
4:34 pfft, this guy thinks I would ever FRIEND @savagegeese in the first place. Well, he has another thing coming, now give me the Jungle Power!
Thank you for the Jungle Juice ad. I checked, I'm still subscribed.
This is the first video I see of you, and I have to say I really enjoyed your content... I’m subscribed
Savage geese being interrupted by geese is pure poetry
Couldn't have planned that better if they tried!
Don’t know why I decided to watch this one but damn glad I did. Hilarious
This video is a trip, made my morning, thanks boys
Lol love the music to start the driving segment! Concerned that after this review Jack may not get the Buick he asked for. But then who cares. You guys are awesome!
Please do more crappy cars! You guys look like you guys are actually having fun.
These cars are pretty interesting. In my area you can easily get over 5k off sticker and you get a new car with 360 camera, pano roof, and adaptive cruise under 30k. There's no other vehicle that offers that.
Because they're shit cars lmao
I mean no hate for people who need a cheaper car but there’s a reasons it’s such a “deal”. It’s a poorly made junk box with the build quality of a matchbox car.
@@caglioso all cars in this segment have “bad quality”. Have you seen the interiors of the CHR and HRV?
@@kristians2704 the cars you mentioned will still work after the first 30k miles and won’t live their lives at the service center.
@@kristians2704 Not really. The CHR and HRV don't even compete with this. Any day of the week I would take a Honda or a Toyota over a Buick.
This is certainly one of the cars of all time. I love the part where it said "it's encore time" and GXd everywhere
I am one of those 3. Came here looking, strictly, for comedy. Fully delivered. Thanks guys.
Pretty sure this showed up in my feed because I've been looking at motorcycles recently.
I watched this because I am currently working on buying a new Encore, and am doing more research. I prefer the look of the regular Encore over the GX, and since it's just me, I don't need a lot of space. The chip shortage problem concerns me, but that will just give me more time to save up a bigger down payment.
I have a 2017 sport touring encore and I genuinely love it! The only bummer is that I don’t have seat warmers (but I live in Southern California so I don’t really need them). I think the regular encore looks better than the gx as well; not to mention you lose the driver seat arm rest in the gx. It’s a pretty nifty car! Hope you get to enjoy yours soon!
@@devonmeyers8213 I just bought mine on Friday! It's awesome so far, and that armrest is needed, so I'm glad I picked the Encore vs the GX. I'm still trying to get the seat exactly as I like it, lol, and it has a lot of pep and go. Brakes easy too.
I noticed you made your own subtitles in this video, Nice!
As I saw the title AND the car - I knew it's going to be good!
I would really like to see a test of a Geo Metro convertible. A real man's car.
Doug demuro.
@@johnnymichael1804 don't ever mention that neophyte car hack again please.
A lot of laughs in this one, total recall said it all, thanks for the Mazda props! I cant wait to welcome cross shoppers!
Bro you had me laughing my ass off with the intro! I have never seen one of these in the wild, which is why I thought I’d give this video a go. No regrets.
So glad that clip is back
I think your final thoughts are spot on. I had considered this last year and opted for something else in roughly the same price point but, feel what I got would last much longer. The engine is too small in my opinion and likely will not hold up over time
This is what holds me back from this vehicle. The small engine
When I saw the title of this video, I thought it was going to be super flattering to the Encore. Turned out to be very different.
For whatever it’s worth, I actually quite like the Chevy Trailblazer, though, that shares this platform. Preferably the one with the 9-speed automatic. Maybe it’s just the more distinct looks?
I would drive both with 9-speed and CVT unless you are getting AWD. GM does do transmissions well and this CVT is well sorted.
Hands down the best car review channel ever!
This was great, I had a stupid smirk on my face during the entire video ha. Especially the surprise return of Todd and JUNGLE POWER mid video, and Jack’s admission that he didn’t mean to book this thing 😂
Funny, last night I was thinking about how much I missed jungle power and the other todd outro's.
I'd love to see you review the CT5-V and your thoughts against its rivals like the Audi S4/5 and BMW M340i.
I'm waiting for that one.
This video made me laugh so hard and that's exactly what I needed, thanks fellas
That battery bit was HILARIOUS! Holy crap this could be a network tv show if that was still a thing.
Todd doing Todd things, love to see it [again]
Lord save us from the SUV and CUV craze
Amen!
Give it 15 years and women will go to minivans...
...with their Compact Ungeared Neutral Transmission.
Amazing intro! :)
I'd like to shout out to the other two viewers. You both have exceptional taste in YT car review experience. I hope you have both subscribed because these two guys deserve 1 million subscribers. I can't do that alone. I need you two as well. And your friends. And families. And their friends. And their families.
GM should’ve canceled Buick and kept Pontiac.
Buick makes up 30% of their sales.
thank China
I sell Buicks and I tell people this everyday
GM is basically the Dallas Cowboys of the industry: mediocre team crippled by consistently incompetent leadership
LOl cancel an extremely profitable brand and keep one losing millions, if you had any say GM wouldn't even exist nowadays, fool
Ahhh the Daewoo Encore GX
No not Daewoo. It is a GM factory in Korea.
@@dam4274 I just wanted to say Daewoo
@@snuffaluffagus9527 Ha. Yeah, it is more fun than Korean GM.
Thanks Patagonia for bringing us this amazing review
Camera work incredible as always
That is literally an Opel, even though they left GM so long ago
No, its a Daewoo (GM Korea) and Opel was only sold off to Groupe PSA four years ago.
Utter nonsense. Dumb mob upvoting. They sold Opel years ago, there is absolutely zero connection to Opel in this car.
@@Mgoblagulkablong Except for the styling, interior...
Yeah, still has alot of connection to pre-PSA Opel.
@@Mgoblagulkablong look at an Image of a 2015 Opel Mokka and them this car an tell me about how this Buick has zero connection to it
@@TheImperfectGuylooks / cosmetics are completely irrelevant, there is absolutely no correlation between looks and what's underneath...
I’m just here for Jungle Power.
Thanks for the honest review!!
Very cool video on the iconic nameplate of Buick! My first car was a 1964 Buick special deluxe and I also used to daily drive a 1992 Buick century deluxe. I always had a soft spot for Buick. It would be cool if Buick brought back the iconic Riviera nameplate or the Grand national. The interesting thing about Buick I work as an emergency roadside technician and the only issues I have seen is just people needing a jump start and everybody I've talked to who've owned a newer Buick have always raved about them! Buick is one of the unsung heroes with great brand loyalty. My favorite Buick has always been the 65 Riviera Grand sport. Back in 97 I was able to drive one and I cannot believe the wildcat 425 motor with the dual four barrel setup.
Part of it is low expectations. Buick has the oldest buyers of any mainstream brand, and those folks are old enough to remember the dismal reliability of cars from the 1960s through the 1980s. Any modern car seems exceptionally reliable when you grew up driving those.
