Sadly disappointed

Biggest disappointment is the 4 cylinder engine. No pep, unlike a previously owned 4 cylinder Pontiac. When you think you get cargo space in an SUV, it is lacking. Biggest concern?! No backup alarm, when going straight back. Nearly backed into a free when parkimg, even though there is a backup camera, there is no alarm to tell you that you have something directly behind you.

Best car i ever owned

Best car. Great horsepower. Plenty of leg room. Steep amd the sound is great. Love the design. Only 2 things I would change. The rims wish they were black amd the headlighgs to be blue led but overall great car amd fuel mileage

Made a great choice!

I did a lot of research before I purchased mine. I wasn't looking for a drag race SUV...just one that looked sharp, good on fuel, practical and most of all a quiet, smooth ride. I bought mine without even test-driving it and its the best riding vehicle I've ever owned (which includes 2 previous minivans known for a smooth ride)

great subcompact SUV

I owns two buick encores, great car. I love it. 10 years back used to own buick, then switched to VW Tiguan, big mistake, 2012 VW Tiguan junk car, horrible quality, expensive to repair. Will never go back to VW.

Spacious suv

This is a small SUV that is spacious inside. It it so nice to climb out of. The interior is nicely designed. The only thing I don't like is it is a 4 cylinder vehicle. It would be nice if it was a 6 cylinder vehicle.

Better than I hoped for

To some it may seem small but what I got I love Not disappointed at all. But the only thing that sorta And just sorta is the stop stall (first car having that feature) just takes getting used to. I am very!!! Happy with this vehicle

Clean Clean Clean!

This vehicle was previously owned but it was "BRAND NEW" clean when i test drove it. I brought a male friend with me, a "car guy" to check it out for me. He was definitely satisfied with the purchase price, said it was a GREAT deal. Also felt comfortable with me communication with the dealership on my own, without a man with me. That says a lot.I am soooooo pleased with this purchase.

Brand New Used Car

This car was too good to pass up, very good price (and I checked!!) and low mileage. Both of my car guys told me to buy it.

Drives better than a dream

This is the most surprising vehicle I have test driven. I can't believe how well it drives not to mention how quiet and smoothe the drive is. If you are in the market for a car, it's worth at least test driving the Buick Encore.
