Love the classic style and look. Just right for my

First car I came across that met my specifications and needs. Read up on reviews of owners to educate myself on the basics of the car.

Nicest looking car

It is very nice looking, with smooth, tasteful lines. I chose a white color to insure a larger looking vehicle. I do find the gas opening on the passenger side is the worse part of the car.

Great cat with low mileage

This car gets good gas mileage and it's big enough to transport my grand kids on outings. I appreciate the fact that it has all wheel drive, it feel safer driving in the Winter.

Safe, Reliable, Sporty!!

I went from a Mazda CX-5 to an Encore. I wanted smaller but I was concerned about the 1.4L engine. However, I was very surprised when I test drove it. The gas is great and it is so easy to whip into a parking space. I also had a sun roof installed in mine and I love it. The Encore gets more of an "old person" image but this is great for anyone! I'm younger and it is great. Size is not bad, smaller but in a good way. I have no regrets!!!

The worst vehicle nightmare I've ever been through

I bought a 2017 Buick Encore with less than 14,000 miles the turbo engine started leaking I called GM they had repaired three weeks later it started leaking again I called GM they had it repaired once more I had the car back two days started leaking again they won't do anything about it I've had to contact an attorney beware do not buy this type of vehicle or any vehicle that has a turbo engine their junk and they will not stand behind what they sell shame on you GM

Very quiet ride

This car meets our family needs .very quiet running with good gas mileage. Its not the fastest car on the block but acceleration is good with the 1.4 l turbo engine. Nice touch screen radio with xm satellite radio.

Great car!

I really love this car! I bought it basically new from the dealer, it only had 17,800 miles on it. I really love how it runs and feels on the road. The only thing I will say about the car is to give it a few minutes to warm up in cold weather. Sometimes I would start the car right up and drive away and the transmission would shoot forward sometimes due to the cold weather. That is my only negative. No passenger arm rest has not been an issue for my husband and I. We are normal sized and have no issues hitting each others arms. Great storage space and great gas mileage. We got a white one so it stays really clean. I LOVE the apple car play in the car. The car always heats up pretty fast if you let it run before you drive it. I highly recommend this car!
