2017 Buick Encore

Not the fastest in the race for speed or roominess, but great on gas, comfort level, trim and looks! Up to speed on technology and overall value for the money.

Great car for nice price.

This car has more pep than you would expect from such a small engine. The ride while not luxury is good for such a small car

Amazing Drive

This car goes above and beyond what is expected in a vehicle. It is a luxurious, smooth ride and makes me want to drive all day. It is spacious yet not too small or too big for my needs. It is easy to park and has excellent features.

Glad I "upgraded."

I had had a Ford Fusion for 7+ years, and felt it was time to step up from a sedan. I have a friend who has an Encore, and 2 who have the Chevy equivalent, the Trax, so I pretty much knew what I wanted when I went searching. I couldn't go for too high a package, but the Preferred package fills my needs of a crossover/small SUV quite well. It is a comfortable ride, easy access to accessories. Since I can fold down the back seats, I have plenty of room for any cargo needs. Very happy so far.

Sluggish, doesn't get gas mileage the claim

Nice car, comfortable, does not get the gas mileage they state, slow on acceleration, engine seems to cut out on stops and when you take your foot off the gas to make turns.

Small Vehicle

It's really small, I didn't realize it until after I've been driving it around for a few days. It is "whippy", as I am able to get around corners and into tight spaces fairly well.

Great Car!!

I had never considered buying a Buick but after test driving the Encore I purchased it and absolutely love it it drives and ride amazing. The interior is a little small after driving a full size SUV but I?m getting use to that. The features are incredible. I can?t say enough about this car!! I would absolutely recommend this car to anyone.

Very good buy

Rides and feels good while driving. Fun to drive. I got a good deal on the lease. See a lot of eye turns when you pass by. Just a small comment in the negative. The antenna is very fragile. Watch when you use your brush to brush off the snow. Do this gently. I broke the base of my antenna doing this and am demanded to pay $480 to fix
