Love my new car!

Perfect car for me! So classy and beautiful! It drives so well, very quiet and comfortable. It has pep yet provides great gas mileage. I'm averaging 32 MPG with a mix of both highway and city. I couldn't be more thrilled with my new purchase! The white frost color is gorgeous!

Nice vehicle

My vehicle is a nice size suv. Not too small -- not too big. The interior is spacious. It is a lot easier to get in and out of.

Still getting to know it...

Traded in my small truck for this small SUV so far its an improvements on fuel consumption, slightly higher monthly payments than my 2016 Colorado, still getting used to the vehicle, its comfortable, but I am missing having heated seats, perhaps one day I'll add in that option ;) Looking forward to taking it for a few road trips, have an average commute of 100km per day.

Best car I have ever owned.

This car is the perfect size for my daily commute and grocery shopping. As well as sitting 4 other people in the car with pure comfort. The mileage is super efficient for me to not have to constantly fill gas every week.

Love it

I love my new car so much I didn't want to part with it overnight so they could apply the apohlstery protection that came with the package. They call and check on me and ask how we're doing.

Chose This Car After Weeks of Research

I had planned on buying another Toyota , but began looking at other alternatives. Reliability was my primary concern , and figured I should stick with Toyota. During my extensive research, I came across reviews that stated the Encore has above average reliability and also great comfort. It has been years since I last drove a GMC vehicle, but the reviews led me to test drive the Encore. It was so much nicer than the Honda HRV , which drove like a military truck with hard seats . The Encore was as impressive behind the wheel and was much more fun to drive than the Camry I was considering . I also love riding in a higher car since I am so short. It was easier for me to drive than the Camry and I like being able to pull the back seats down and haul things that the Camry could not accommodate in its trunk. I also feel my grandchildren will be safe if I drive with them in the back seat - more so than in my Prius that I am selling . The rebates helped me save a reasonable sum, but basically I just love the cushy seats and smooth ride in a vehicle that gets very high marks for reliability . I also think the exterior looks very attractive . This car made a really favorable impression and I love driving it .

Great styling

Everyone says it lacks power but coming from a 78 hp Mitsubishi mirage that I drove across canada with no problem up crazy hills I think people are just afraid to use their engine or something. Has plenty of power to get on the highway and pass people smoothly and quietly and quite a lot more power thej mu mirage. Love the interior and the the as well. Just an overall smooth relaxing ride.

Second Encore i’ve Owned

This vehicle is very dependable. I kind of was leery of the push button start but so far so good. Since this is the second Encore I’ve owned, I was very familiar with all of the features.

ya gotta look at an encore!

I was a jeep guy for 20 yrs...my Cherokee transmission went out unexpectedly in 2018...I leased a 2018 encore basic model and really liked it. never thought I would be interested in a buick...thought it was for 'old people.' WRONG!! technology is crazy good and you don't feel like you are in a 'sub compact.' I fill up with gas every 2 weeks. fun to drive. very maneuverable. not fast but i'm not Mario Andretti. just purchased a 2019 ebony preferred, moon roof, remote start. really love it. crazy considering I was a jeep guy
