2018 Buick Encore consumer reviews

So this is being written by a 60+ daughter of the new owner age 101 who has no internet/computer access. I was integral to the process as a result, have done the research, the price checking, the interaction with some obnoxious dealers before we found a decent one. The tech stuff is overwhelming and the focus on the "infotainment" is, imo, a sad commentary on the times. The point of a vehicle is DRIVE. So, for that the car has excellent reviews for safety. From my own prior experience I insisted the car have the tires replaced with Michelins before we even picked it up. And while the salesman thought I think I was being a typical woman and over the top, he came to learn there was good reason to do that. As for the car, dad insisted on the Essence trim because he wanted to make sure mom could have a power seat adjuster enabling her ability to get in/out easy at age 96. The seat seems comfortable enough. There's a fold down between the two back seats that has the cupholders; in front they are between the front seat. That is the trend but I hate it. I like it center front below the dash, it's an easier reach. I know many others who agree, but they do not listen to us. I'm also not crazy about the push button starts, but there is no choice about that, and it's a new learning experience to catch on to the ways to lock/unlock the doors. But thus far it seems like a nice car. It is VERY tall for short people, but anything is better than the Malibu that was giving dad mechanical grief of late.

This is a very nice little SUV. Lots of great features including Apple CarPlay. 2 USB ports. 8? media display, leather wrapped stearing wheel. Surprisingly quiet. Feels like you are riding in a larger vehicle as the seat height is comparable to larger vehicles. Good fuel economy as well.

Not only a good value with the payment, but considered safer by insurance companies. Therefore the insurance is actually a little cheaper too. Very happy.

I'm completely in love with my new Buick Encore. I wanted an AWD and this one is FWD but that's ok. She handles absolutely beautifully, and feels like a sports car. At the same time, big and tall enough to feel safe. The interior is breathtaking! Few things I'd like changed are: more space between the two front seats. The Buick Intelliect, Bluetooth, pairing from one phone to the next. It's all a bit too confusing and not smooth. Nice but a tad too cumbersome. Takes too much time to figure out. Also, the steering wheel is too far from my reach forcing me to have to put the seat in a bit so comfortable position. The seats need to be more comfortable, too. Other than that it's a great vehicle. It's sexy, for sure!

Best car I have ever owns. Perfect size for my spouse and Grandkids. Easy on gas, alot of leg room, smooth ride, and it has USB port.

The car is the perfect size car for my family. It's so smooth riding, quite, oh yes, the USB cord is great for my phone. I love my hands are free! It's just very nice car. Was not at all what I thought of it when I first looked at it. Then I test drive it and bought it.

The Buick Encore is a good compact suv drives like a dream. It is stylish on the inside and out very sporty also also it gets very good gas mileage city and road

I love this vehicle. It has every feature there is at a reasonable Cost compared to other vehicles in its class. It?s comfortabke, heated steering g wheels and high seats with excellent leg room is my favorite. Stylish and practical with great mileage. 4 cyl With turbo gives it the kick and speed I like without feeling sluggish.

This car met all my needs. Plenty of leg room in the front and back. It?s a comfortable riding car. It has a stylish look. Very pleased.

This car is amazing. The keyless entry push button locks on all 4 doors is one of my favorite features, I also love the android auto and it gets amazing gas mileage. I drive 500 miles to and from work weekly and spend about 11 hours driving, I actually look forward to my commute everyday because of this car.
