Amazing

I love this car!! It’s comfortable & a joy to drive. The only thing I don’t like are the drink holders between the seats. Makes it hard to get my drink while driving.

Great car. Compact yet roomy. Great performance

Love the style. Has great pickup speed for merging onto highway. Color is beautiful. Styish exterior. Compact but roomy inside. Plenty of room for groceries.

Most loved vehicle I have ever owned

This car is so quiet running. Rides awesome. Highway and country driving is great. I would most definitely would buy another Encore. Prefect for everyday, city driving!

Great new car!

We wanted to move up into a more high end vehicle, this one really fit the bill! A lot of great features we didn't have on our trade in. Were both happy with it!

Amazing car with amazing quality!

I have previously owned smaller cars, such as a jetta and an old jeep and when I started looking for a new car I came across the Buick encore, i test drove it and fell it love! Such a great car - reliable, very nice looking exterior and interior, comfortable, smooth drive, overall a fantastic car and I hope to keep it for many years!

Great car. Good gas mileage

This car meets all of our needs. Desoitesits small design, I can fit both my children in car seats and myself in the back seat. The back has plenty of room for luggage etc. We opted for the luggage rack to travel with our luggage on top, leaving us room in the car for necessities.

More car for your money than other cars.

This is a reliable comfortable small suv with lots space to carry things. More amenities on the basic model than other cars. I would definitely recommend.

Love This Car!

This car is an exceptional buy for a nice small SUV. It gets excellent gas mileage, the cabin is very quiet and the ride really smooth. I like the dash layout and have no problem with a 4 cylinder engine as the turbo gives you boost when you need. It certainly isn't a sprint car so speed wouldn't be a high priority with this baby.

Great car. Interior is larger than expected.

Great car, interior is larger than expected but back seat headroom could be higher! Great gas mileage in town and even better on the highway!
