Crossover with Style

The Encore is sophisticated and roomy. I used to drive a Nissan Juke, which I adored but could never comfortably seat my backseat riders. This vehicle is only 4 inches longer with more head room. It maneuvers incredibly well with all the bells and whistles of a luxury vehicle for an incredibly good price!!! My only complaint is that it's beautifully fuel efficient engine that shuts off when not in use lacks the get up and go one might need when initially hitting the break. However, if you need to quickly pass or enter an up-hill on-ramp, the Encore beefs in the power right when you need it.

Well it's not a SATURN

It got to old and was hard for me to get in and out of the old Saturn just , Back in the day it was a fun car, it had replacer a 5.0 Mustang with over 200,000 miles on it. Back and hip and knee surgery's has taken it's toll on me. The new Encore is really east to get in-out of and I still can get 2 sets of golf clubs in there. There is plenty enough room in the back seat for a tall person to sit comfortably

Love this little truckster!

The Buick Encore is perfect for what I need. It is small enough to fit anywhere, very easy to drive, has great style and when the back is folded down has a ton of room for stuff. With a little creativity, I have gotten 2 6" folding tables in the back, and on another occasion, 4 kitchen chairs! In fact, I rave about it so much my mom just bought one also! The only minor drawback is the acceleration on the highway, but it is a 4 cylinder, and the gas mileage but it is 4 wheel drive (and great in the snow, ice and rain)!

Stylish car

Just bought this car yesterday. Is a base model but still has lots of extra features and great mpg. Nathan Meyerson at Parkway Buick in Sherman Tx took care of me and is absolutely wonderful!!!

The best SUV for me!

The car is so reliable. It looks small on the outside and so roomy inside, and it has a back up camera so it's so easy to park. The Apple CarPlay is awesome. And the turbo just says it all.

Sexy & Safe Ride!

I have fallen in love! The moment I test drove this car I knew it was the one. Its sleek, but has room to load anything I need. I love that it looks small from the outside but when you're in it feels HUGE! It handles so perfectly, I love all the updated features, I LOVE LOVE being able to hook up my iPhone and be 100% hands free! I could go on and on, but you should probably just get one yourself! ;)

My new Encore

I was very pleased with my new Buick Encore. The ride is very quiet. I love the NAV system so I can program in places I'm going so I know exactly how to get there. My iPhone syncs to my car so my contacts and music are now a part of my car. I have an app on my phone that is connected to my car, my dealer plus the the ability to see the car manual on my phone. There are a lot of extras on the car that I was hoping to be able to get. I always thought I needed the bigger cars but I have found out that the cute smaller ones is all I need.

The quietest and best handling car on the road.

The Buick Encore is a mid-size car but it is very roomy and has lots of options that most cars do not have. We turned in our 2016 Cadillac SRX to the dealer because we weren't pleased with the performance. The Encores performance and handling is far superior to the Cadillac and we are just so pleased with it. We've been telling and showing off the Encore to all our friends and telling them what a great sales person Steve Davis was.

Didn't buy it - Buick Encore

It was like driving a tin can. No pick-up, cheap interior and exterior. Don't waste your time. I DID NOT BUY IT! Dealership (Doral GMC Buick, Miami, FL) was dirty and very unprofessional.
