Love the way it drives.

The exterior color and shape of the car. The inside color and all the options it has. I’m still getting use to the lack of room inside.

Purchased vehicle nearly 5 months ago, love it.

Owned Honda vehicles for many years and I am very impressed thus far with this vehicle. It is the perfect size for me. The mileage could be a bit better, but it is still pretty respectable. I like the ride and the styling of the vehicle.

bad engine

At 28000 miles had to have pistons replaced. Then for 5 months bad start issue. Dealer said I have bad gas! For 5 months and 4000 miles still start problem. Dealer finally downloaded new computer program. Car works better but worried about longevity of car. Only 33k now. Jim Murphy GMC stay away.

Love this car.

For the money, this car is far better as far as interior comforts. It’s on level footing with other similar models in performance, but far nicer inside for the money.

Easy, quick, efficient-AutoCenters of Herculaneum

This car was just what I was looking for at a great price. It has steering wheel warmers, seat warmers, is comfortable, has a great backup camera/screen and all the bells and whistles.

Ex Honda owner goes American

I am a recent purchaser of a 2018 Buick Encore FWD Preferred. I am so pleased with this vehicle! I owned several Hondas, which were wonderful cars, but this vehicle is fantastic. Remember, it is not a full size SUV, so don't judge it as such. For its size, it is a great vehicle.

Just the right size and roomy for me. Not to big or small just perfect. Family and friends loved it too. Grandson wanted to go for a text drive loved it.
