The first SUV I have owned

The car is easy to get in and out of. The steering wheel is small and comfortable to handle. The keyless start is hard to get use to but not to hard after you get the right mind set.

LOVE and wish we would have considered before

I got this as a brand new vehicle. The value of the car and the specs on it were well worth it. I would highly recommend this to anyone looking for a SUV. The keyless entry / push button start are awesome. It is still taking some getting used to, but great to not have to dig out my key in my purse. I love the safety feature of not being able to close the door let alone lock it with my purse being in the car. My kids love the back seat room and the comfort it provides. My husband and I both feel that the front bucket seats are very comfortable also. The rear back up camera is awesome but again a feature to get used to. I love all the color screens / information that it provides. The driving is so smooth and handles well on the road in many conditions.

I love my Encore!

Bought my 2018 encor, traded in a car high in miles. Never owned a car with bells and whistles! The ride is smooth and quiet and great on gas! What more can you want?
