2017 Buick Encore consumer reviews

This car is perfect in every way. It drives greats and is very comfortable in the front and rear. It is reasonably priced. The look and feel of the car is just fantastic. If you are looking for a GREAT car that you will absolutely love I would highly recommend the Buick Encore.

It is a smooth beautiful ride! We have more extras on this vehicle which makes it a more enjoyable ride as well as a much safer one.

I really like driving this vehicle,I take it out as much as my 2017 E Class Mercedes Benz.This vehicle handles and rides very well on local streets and highways.

I never thought I would leave the Asian import world until I drove my Encore. It's nimble yet solid...good gas mikeage and is just the right height

Test drive it and really liked it. Was impressed with the interior and all nav/audio system. Very comfortable and surprisingly good on gas

Love my Buick Encore! Very dependable and very comfortable! I love the design, acceleration and performance! I have plenty of room for grandchildren and family!

Wow. Just all kinds of wow. Turbo 4-cylinder is niiiice. Quiet ride, comfortable seats, the technology is fantastic (I can turn this thing on from my phone!), and sleek looking design all rolled up neatly into a beautiful package. I think my only complaint lies in the hand brake. There's an arm rest for the driver that comes down right over the hand brake, and you have to lift the arm rest to really be able to get at the hand brake. Not a huge drawback mind you, but of all the design features of this car, I'd say it's nowhere close to being a deal breaker. The dash is incredibly simple to follow, I didn't need to look at any kind of manual before using the many features built in - and Android Auto/Apple Car play built in! THAT was the deciding factor for me on this car. I don't care for the fact that car manufacturers these days make you buy their navigation package. This car has it through OnStar, BUT when you hook up your phone through Android Auto (in my case), you get Google Maps right on the display. No fees for that. You don't need to upgrade the maps in the car itself, or pay the ridiculous fees involved with it. Google does it for you whenever you do the updates on your phone. If you're looking for a very nicely loaded and luxury miniSUV for not an epic ton of money, this one's a really good place to start.

I owned the 2015, 2016, and 2017 models. The change made on the 2017 are excellent. The engine has less turbo lag making acceleration more smooth. The dash layout is much better and the touch screen is a huge improvement over the cumbersome 2016 and older system. None of our Encore's ever went in for service other than scheduled maintenance. No issues ever.

Took it on a beach trip. It?s amazing how much we were able to pack into the car. The drove very well on its first road trip and was very comfortable.

I had always wondered why people would buy such a small Buick. I had never seriously considered this model, thinking it was too small, wanting more cargo room. However, my wife and I decided to at least consider looking at the Encore, liking the quality of Buicks. We were pleasantly surprised with the comfort and area of the front seats. The rear seats were adequate for occasional passengers. We decided that we could get along with the smaller cargo area with the rear seats folded down. Hence we decided that with the current Cash Incentives that Buick was offering, along with a somewhat reasonable starting price, the model was good option for us. We have not had it long enough to thoroughly evaluate it.
