Awesome Vehicle, Outstanding Service

This car is just what my wife and I have needed. Small enough for the two of us. Large enough to pick up grandkids for a day. Versatile enough to transport all our shopping goods. Great dealer support/service.

Loving my 2018 Encore Essence

I've gotten many compliments on the color and exterior of my Encore. Those that have ridden with me have been impressed with the technology, comfort, leg room, and ride of the car.

Totally underpowered.

It is a small crossover with nice fit and finish. However when I drove it on the I10 it had a hard time to merge with the traffic,

very Reliable car

I also own a gas guzzler truck so it?s nice to drive a vehicle that gets good gas mileage. I traded a vehicle that killed my back for the Buick Encore.

Love it so far.

It definitley is a great car, it is a little tight in space but really not bad. It has all the gadgets and technology you would need. The traction control is a little annoying but that isn't a big deal. It drives smooth and I feel very safe in it.

I seriously LOVE this SUV!

I've admired the Encore for years and finally purchased one of my own. From afar it struck me as a very handsome, if very compact, vehicle. Up close, still very attractive, but much more spacious than I'd imagined. As soon as I got inside, I knew I had to have it. Everything about this SUV exceeds my expectations. From exterior appearance to interior styling, features and comfort, to performance, I can't imagine a better vehicle for the price. I actually look forward to driving again, something I never thought I'd say again.
