2017 Buick Encore consumer reviews

The encore does excellent on gas mileage! I love how comfy the seats are! I am in Sales and have to drive for hours a day sometimes and my Encore is so comfy and I never get tired of driving it. This vehicle has great turning radius and a lot of power when needed for passing other vehicles.

I got through all the snow in New York City and never needed 4 wheel drive, I can park in places most cars cannot fit in,air conditioning is ice cold, and the gas mileage was the best I ever got out of an American car.

First new/used car I've bought since 2011. So many changes for the better! Nice ride, easy handling. Still learning the radio/apps. Stylish interior. Love it!!!

I have a 2017 full leather. It is an awesome mini luxury vehicle. It is small when I have the family in the car. We have a hard time when it is over 95 degrees getting enough ac to the back seats. I have had problems if the car is parked in the sun, trying to cool it down. I owned a 2015 Nissan Sentra, it used to be cold in there. This is not the case with the Encore. In addition the car see to shift hard when it is hot out. I have brought it to the dealer but they said there was nothing wrong.

My wife fell in love with it. I liked what I saw but after a test drive, I agreed with her and we took it home that day. About a month later now and she has no regrets at all. Great vehicle for the money

It's one of the smaller cars that I have owned, but has plenty of room for everything I need. Leg room is excellent and is a very comfortable ride. It handles well with plenty of zip and turns on a dime.

Great small SUV with all the latest in technology. I get great gas mileage 38 on the highway and around 32 combined. Has adequate pickup; Buick sales rep told me about Trifecta performance tuning which livened up the vehicle. (optional aftermarket engine trans tuning software)

I drove the Buick Encore Essence 2017 with sun roof during a 10 day stay in Arizona for vacation. I originally rented a Nissan sedan but they were out so I took 'the blue SUV'. I was 5 miles north on route 17 when I noticed how quiet the ride was. Then a text came over the Android Auto, which I didn't realized I hooked up by connecting the USB cable to the charger. I found the interior to be very intuitive. The long ride from Phoenix to Sedona was very enjoyable the heated steering wheel and seats plus motorized drivers seat. The pick up climbing the mountain grades was easy as was passing trucks and cars. It doesn't have crazy horse power by any means by it performed fine. The keyless entry and start were great since I was always carrying backpack and gear, no fumbling for the keys. Then I drove back down to Phoenix for 5 days and it handled the off dirt roads to the trail head fine. I came home and 2 weeks later I traded in my loyal Subaru Impreza wagon that I had for 6 years. I enjoyed the Impreza but it has a CVT trans and I wanted to drive a traditions auto trans. The Encore has 25 MPG +/- and I'm ok with that. I purchased the AWD as I live in Massachusetts and NO... FWD with snow tires IS NOT the same thing. So test driving a car for 10 days informed my of how the car runs on average and when snow came in January the Encore handled great with the AWD. Four months owning my Buick Encore Essence now and very happy. It is small on the inside, about the same cubic storage dimensions as a Subaru Impreza Wagon but the off ground height is also what I wanted in my next car. It has great head room, leg room and the leather seats are ALL leather and stitched great, not pleather or 'leather trimmed'. Back seats can squeeze 3 adults but 2 adults for comfort, same beautiful leather seats in back. Soft touch materials, nice dash, nothing flashy but more classic and understated. I added OEM chrome side body molding and chrome wind deflector as well as custom rain guards. Now my car is my own. The aluminum painted grey wheels are awesome too. Very happy!

This car meets all my needs! Roomy, holds lots of cargo and has a great and comfy ride! Love this car so much, I will be buying my 3rd Encore in 2020!

I was drawn to the Buick Encore for it's smaller size for handling, but design with lots of room inside. The car has comfort and the turbo 4 cyl. gives it enough power and good gas mileage. I have had Buicks in the past and never been disappointed.
