DON’T BUY DOMESTIC CARS!
I have 2013 Encore. At 65,000 miles the turbo went out(cost $2200); the catalytic converter went out lol(cost $2000) and several other problems. Total cost was $6000. This is the first domestic car I’ve ever had and I will NEVER buy another domestic car. I’ve always had German and Japanese cars And they have always been great. Expensive Union labor is what you are paying for on a domestic car.

Great for parking
Love the car. Easy to park. Small back seat. Back seat windows could have more glass. Blocks view. Very driver friendly. Only one arm rest in front- downer.

Riddled with problems from get go
This is a vehicle that needs something repaired at least every 6 mths and at a cost of $200- 2000 when it does screw up. -Awd works when it wants to. -Have lost power in heavy traffic for no reason light just cane on saying reduced power happened at 9,000km!!! Very scary dangerous on highway to lose power with transports behind you. You litterally go from 80km/hr to nothing in seconds giving no time for any vehicle behind you to stop in time. Had to replace an electronic part in wheel that the dealership tried to say was not on warranty would of cost $2000 had to argue and contact Buivk direcrly to have ut rectified. Happened again year after this time had to re-teach a sensor??? -Windshield wipers work when they feel like it usually never when it rains though -Had to replace antifreeze/coolant reservoir, hoses, and pump at 90,000km -Had to replace entire drive shaft at 64,000km -3 of the continental tires all blew their belts within a mth of rach other at 48,000km was forced to replace out of my own pocket they did not honor the tire warranty -Paint began chipping and flaking off around door handles even though anti corrosion unit is installed at around 70,000km -Roof top peice flew off and is missing happened at arpund 20,000km -Drive belt and bearing replaced at 80,000 -Rear seatbelt clasps had to be replaced due to recall -"tear" stains from license plate section on car -"tear" stain all down side of var from mirrors that apparently are not water tight I could go on this car is a xxx. Not worth a oenny I paid for it. Biggest regret ever. DO NOT BUY A BUICK ENCORE TOTAL GARBAGE
