If seats are not improved would not buy again

Driver and passenger seats is very uncomfortable on a trip. Head rests are very awkward. Anyone that has driven my car say the same thing about the seats and head rests.

Tire issues

I like it. but when since I've had the car I've have nothing but issues with the vehicle. Had the catalytic converter fixed and the ires have been problematic and I haven't had the car for a year yet.

Quality for not a lot of quantity

This car exceeding all of my expectations! It has amazing gas mileage, leather seats and backup camera! Easiest drive and I love how it is compact and I don't feel like I am driving a tank. I love the safety features it keeps me in the lanes and protects me from upcoming traffic. Perfect family car and perfect commuting car.

Best car I have ever owned

This little buggy had been a great car. AWD never let me down getting me to work on wintry road conditions in northern Michigan. Grear gas mileage, great space for hauling anything except lumber. I love this car!

Great small SUV

Great small SUV which I have owned for 3 1/2 years. Very comfortable, seats fold down and can accommodate very large objects. I am averaging over 31 miles per gallon, mostly commuting miles. When backseat headrests are up, it is a little hard to see when changing lanes, but the sensors help with that. Pretty car that feels roomy and luxurious. Very good value.

Fun, fabulous, functional!

This is one of the most beautifully designed cars I've owned. I have had it for two years of regular use on highway and city as well. The interior is very impressive, in look and feel as well as functionality. The rear seats fold down nicely for a lot of space, with no liftover. You can slide whatever you need right into the car. You can also fold down the passenger seat for longer items when necessary. The mileage is great, well over 30 on the highway and a little less in city. It burns regular gas, as well, not high octane. We have only had one thing go wrong on it, a leak in the coolant system, but it was not an expensive repair. The only thing I would say is the car could be faster, and the radio system a little less complicated. But the nice lines and beautiful interior more than compensate for these minor shortcomings.

Great bang for your dollar.

I was looking for a second car that was comfortable, sporty and goood on gas. The Encore gives me all that with a lot of included options.
