Stylish and fun to drive vehicle.

The Encore is just what my wife was looking for. A smaller SUV with both looks and comfort. The car rides and handles like a much larger vehicle.

Best car we?ve bought

At first we were concerned about the size of the car! We are a SUV type of family and this cars size was definitely not what we expected, but boy was it the perfect fit for us! At first we weren?t sure about how small it was but once inside the car, it?s so roomy! The trunk size is surprisingly larger than we expected! Beautiful inside and out! For a small car it had more power to it than we expected! We looked at other cars and decided this was just too perfect! This is our first ever Buick and after this purchase I?m convinced Buick is the best car brand out there!

Took a Leap on This One

This vehicle offers performance, reliability comfort and utility in one package. The features were a large factor in purchasing but being the third most reliable vehicle in its class for its model year definitely swayed scales.

Thousands less than other AWD

Wonderful gas MPG with AWD, avg 28, 37 hwy. Turbo works great, handles like a sports car. Reasonably quiet interior. This is not the Luxury Edition w/leather, the base w/AWD, an oddball duck. Owned for 18 months and 17k miles, not a single issue...nothing. GREAT in snow and ice w/ traction control. Cannot tow however. Grocery getter, weekend antiquing, thrifty insurance rates.

Sooooo comfy and quicker than a hiccup!

Extremely comfortable, ergonomics are just right. The electronics are user friendly to the point that I don?t feel the need for a teenager to explain them to me.

Awesome Comfort and Classy Car

I was determined to own another Jeep until the Buick Encore caught my eye. The interior design is comfortable, and the car is classy. I bought a Premium which comes loaded with more options than I could imagine or dream of having at an affordable price. As I move into my retirement years, I know this car will bring me to where other dreams will come true, Thanks Buick for making this car! It's a little piece of heaven here on earth.
