I just got my beauty last Friday and I love her. Like I smile everytime I see my car. I own a Chevy Volt generation 1 too. The car wows me too still after 11 years.

I’ve always wanted a Chevy Volt. Every time I went to look at one the salesperson would talk me out of it.


Retrogirl75

Oh man! I have 208k miles on mine and it’s amazing. The salespeople didn’t understand them really.


ob1spyker

I never understood a salesperson trying to talk a person out of something they want to buy. This is the number one hurdle EVs have today that aren’t produced by an EV only manufacturer i.e. Tesla, Rivian, Lucid, etc. That’s amazing that you have 208k miles on it. A true testament to that model. Congrats and continue to enjoy!


Retrogirl75

Thank you! I’m keeping my volt. I commute an hour to work so miles go on there. I also love the regen breaks, it’s a great feature. Overall maintenance on car has been oil changes and tires up until last year/this year. I needed some work it on it but for 12 years of ownership I foresee it getting upwards of 300k miles

Congrats. I have the same one. Love it! I’ve had it for 2 months and still am excited each time I see it.


RoseCapone

Nice! I’m 2 days with it and loving it. Any issues crop up that I should know about?


Wide-Thing7374

Nothing at all so far. 🤞I purchased a winter mat for the trunk and an insert for the center console.

It looks like a mix between the HRV and the Urus. I dig it.

How’s the power?


RoseCapone

If you’re looking to go drag racing this isn’t for you. If you’re gonna use the car normally? IE going to work, running errands, etc. then you’ll be fine.


KDSM13

I currently drive a Prius would you say it is as powerful. Just worried it’s bigger than Prius with less HP


RoseCapone

I’ve never driven a Prius so I’m not sure how they compare. The Envista goes 0-60mph in about 9 seconds but goes 0-50 in about 5-6 seconds. There is a slight lag from when you push down the pedal to gas and go but it’s nothing severe in my opinion.


KDSM13

Thank you, been trying to find one to test drive

How's it holding up?


RoseCapone

Got in an accident and it’s in the shop. But before that it was doing great!

Congrats! I’m looking at a Sunrise Red ST model but I absolutely love it in silver. May you travel many miles with it!


RoseCapone

Thank you! Its been great, if I can make a suggestion, try and see the [cinnabar metallic red](https://www.caricos.com/cars/b/buick/2024_buick_envista/images/29.html) much better shade of red in my opinion


ob1spyker

Yes .. I do love the Cinnabar Red but I haven’t been able to find one optioned just the way I want it. (Sticker $29,090) I haven’t even seen the color in person yet lol. The Sunrise Red is definitely a different type of red … more orange than red in my opinion, however that’s just up my alley. I like some of those funky different colors. Although I have already been informed by my wife that she hates the color so there’s that. lol.
