Fun and efficient

Nimble, fuel efficient, well designed interior but short on power even with turbo (but I’ve learned how to kick it when needed). Nice looking in black with all options and really a competent little suv IMHO.

I bought this car for my daughter.

I wanted a fuel efficient and reliable car for my daughter to get her to college out of state. She absolutely loves this car and is very happy with it in every way.

Love love my encore. it's perfect for me.

Most important this car has never given me any problems. It' very reliable. Secondly it's good on gas and it's so pretty. I have people stopping to ask what kind of car I drive cause they really like it.

Best ride for this size car

I’m in love. So sexy. So fun I can’t stop driving it . The mileage is great. Maybe a bigger tank. The ride and drive is incredible for this size vehicle.

Great deal on a barely used car !!!

Love the car, great styling in and out , handles well and very comfortable smooth ride. Love the Bose speakers , sunroof , A/C system, storage, back seat legroom and seat adjustments . Could be a bit peppier but meets my needs and is a beautiful car for the money inside and out.

It's a nice car. I hope it last another 200k miles

I like the classy look of the vehicle. I'd put pullout extenders on the sun visors and change the sliding console to an open lid design. I like the rear backing feature the best. But I wish the car had the Eco gas feature. I got the car four the 4wheel drive for the winters here.

Awesome

The 6 speed transmission provides better fuel economy with less rpm at highway speeds. The comfort and cargo space is beyond what I thought it would be.
