Small SUV capable of going fast and fitting into small spaces.
Reliable, great gas mileage, SUV but still fits into compact spaces. Air vents could be placed better or stronger. Turbo engine but takes a minute to go super fast. Modern features for low price, still under warranty so Sewell dealership handles any issues and maintenance. Easy to keep clean, handle, no major problems.

Very nice SUV would buy again.
I really love this car and features. I looked at many cars before I chose it, so far I have not had any problems with this car, its comfortable and stylish I would recommend this model to my family and friends. Our whole family loves it even has room for our dogs.

Review of 2017 Buick encore.
I haven't had many problems with the car itself, performance is good, car runs fairly smooth. The seats are comfortable but the inside of the car is fairly small, smaller than I would like. I wish both front seats had an arm rest, only the driver seat has one. Other than that it is a good car.

on June 10, 2021
The encore is a highly comfortable and dependable driving experience.
Extremely comfortable. Seats adjust to make driving very comfortable. Reliable car that handles well in winter weather. The interior instrumentation is much improved over the 2015 model I traded in. It is very easy to matriculate through the dashboard options. The only negative of this model is that the passenger seat does not have the storage drawer the 2015 model had but it is a trade off because that seat has the lumbar support built in.

Zip and zooms but not much room.
I love how the vehicle drives. However it is very small on the inside for tall people. There also is not much space in the trunk if you like to do big shopping trips. If you live in town and do small load trips it is just fine. But if you buy big batches of groceries or stuff you will need to use the backseat. But it gets around great and I love it.

Great size car with enough space!
I love the size and the android auto/google assistant feature. The seats are comfy and the front seats are easily adjusted. There is a good amount of trunk space for the size of the car, I also like that there is a cover for the trunk section so that people cannot see into the back from outside of the car. There are some blind spots which is a downside.

Poor motor issues
I bought my 2017 and loved it, until 6000 miles it needed a whole new motor put in. Mind you it was only 3 months old. Buick checked ot out to see what the issue was. Now @45,000miles it is losing antifreeze someplace, could'nt see or smell it. Just to it to dealership,and sure enough it now needs a head gasket once again, on a 2nd motor that has 37000 miles on it. I would say it's a d**n lemon. It's great in the snow and a nice little small suv, but obviously the lack of power in a turbo motor really sucks. I'm sure in another 25-30, 000 miles it willneed a 3rd motor. Anybody else who owns one ever have any problems like mine? I'm VERY DISAPPOINTED, and very unhappy. I will never buy or recommend one to anybody.Good Luck ONCORE owners.

An amazing first car buy!
It is a reliable vehicle! It is incredibly high-tech with Bluetooth options at a great price. The seats are comfortable and adjustable. The car seats 5 people comfortably with a spacious trunk. I would recommend this car to anyone with a small family!

A great car if you are looking for something safe and comfortable!
This vehicle has been reliable and comfortable. It is also great on gas and safe. I have noticed there is great visibility and it is a relatively quiet vehicle to drive. There are a lot of features of this vehicle that make it a great family car. While compact, it still has a lot of room and trunk space which makes traveling comfortable and convenient. There is a lot of storage compartments in this vehicle which make it nice for the driver. I also appreciate that this vehicle will hold its value. One of my concerns with this vehicle that I have noticed is that there sometimes is an electrical issue. I notice that it has a hard time comprehending when I am starting the vehicle/stopping it and turning the key off (push start.).

Luxury ride for the frequent traveler.
I really like the motorized driver seat. Is great for lumbar support and comfort during long drives. I also love the large infotainment screen. The Buick phone app is really awesome too. You can check status of your vehicle and perform basic functions like lock or unlock your doors, or start your car from your phone. I like the tire pressure feature on the dashboard menu along with the status on the phone app. I also like that it keeps track of your oil life. This vehicle is the best one I have ever had. I travel a lot for work and by car only, so I spend many hours in the car. I use OnStar and have the Sirius radio subscription so I can keep listening to music without is cutting out on long trips. It is built right into the vehicle, no need to add equipment. There is plenty of room for my family, groceries, and other things. I usually haul a lot of network gear for installs when I travel, and there is plenty of room for that too.
Carol K

Good all around vehicle to own.
Great size vehicle not too small and not too Big. Easy to get in and out of. Good safety features. Comfortable seating and seat adjustment. Easy to use features. Decent rear storage and seats are easy to put down to expand room to carry a longer load. Backup camera works well and side warning alarm comes in handy.

Great small size SUV AWD, very classy.
The only thing I do not like about it is that the trunk is small. Also when we had an infant car seat it was kind of tight back there, especially if you want to place the car seat in the middle seat, it wasn't possible. The back is really only for two people. If you want a small SUV it is a great option. I test drove multiple other cars like rogue from Nissan but fell in love with the encore and brought it home that same day.
Sam G
on April 24, 2021
Amazing car. With an amazing backup camera and very safe.
Absolutely love my vehicle. Absolutely no problems, I love how well the backup camera work and how smooth the car drives. I also really like all the airbags in the vehicle that make it very safe and reliable. The seats in my vehicle are also very comfortable.

Benefits of owning a Buick!
This vehicle is perfect for a small family. It has a lot of luxurious features like steering wheel and seat warmers. It drives very smoothly. The only thing that I do not like about my car is that there is not a lot of space inside it is very compact..
Brittini H
on April 20, 2021
Best car I have ever had.
Very reliable. Drives smooth, no major repairs. Had it for couple years now. Pretty comfortable and driver friendly. My husband loves the car too. Enough room in the back. Easy to maneuver in the seats. I have driven this car multiple times to Florida.
Carol W

Buick encore: good all-around vehicle.
It is comfortable for me to drive. I like sitting up high so I can see better. I like the adjustability of the driver's seat. The trunk is too small, even with the seats folded down. There are bad blind spots on the sides. I love the backup camera and the ability to connect to apple CarPlay.
Katie W

Buick encore 2017 is nice.
Started driving this car in December of 2017 and it has not let me down since. It is proven to get through a bit of snow on the road as it snows here in the winter and I still have to get to work. It is pretty good on gas and is very comfortable to drive. The driver's seat has a few adjustments that my past cars didn't have.
Alexis S
on April 13, 2021
Great sound system and built in GPS.
I recently just purchased a 2017 Buick encore. I find it very reliable due to I drove 8 hours to attend my college in this vehicle. The downfall I found is that it has a very small gas tank so it requires a fill up quite frequently. Plus side is it cost very little to fill up. 20 dollars at the max. It is very reliable and the built in GPS is extremely useful. Great sound system if you are one for jamming out while you drive and I feel as though it can be very good for a family with kids. I am a college student so I am not for sure on that but I can imagine it is trustworthy and a great vehicle for a family.
Dustin J

Is the 2017 Buick encore a dud?
My 2017 Buick encore is totally under powered, top heavy also. The Buick handles poorly on any wet surface also gravel. Big blind spots also it is to small to really be considered a sports utility vehicle. I do like the back up camera and Sirius XM radio tho.
Theresa G
on April 4, 2021
My Buick encore is a great car I love it and would highly recommend it to anyone.
I love my Buick encore it is the perfect size for me very comfortable to drive. It gets great mileage 35 mpg highway. I have never had any issues with it and when my lease is up later this year I am planning on getting another one. It looks small but actually has a great deal of leg room in the front and back seat.

It offers better performance than most 4 cylinder cars/SUVs
The vehicle is built with quality and style/design. It offers a very quiet and smooth ride while not sacrificing performance. It provides all of the latest "tech" enhancements, and delivers on excellent fuel economy.

A few issues. Overall reliable
Doesn't seem to have a lot of power. Reliable. A few issues with broken seat belt. Won't retract. And front bumper pops out of the clasp. Needs to go in for these repairs. First time seat belt. Second time for bumper issue. The vehicle is good enough for running around to do what I need to do.
Dawn C

Not a ton of power, but will get you where you need to go.
Wipers cannot be lifted off windshield to clear snow and ice. Cargo space with folding seats is great.

Perfect for a small sports utility vehicle (SUV).
The 2017 Buick encore rides smoothly. The back seat is small and the vehicle is not ideal for large family trips. It is very comfortable seating and nice adjustments on the front seats for added comfort. The Bluetooth and auxiliary feature work but are sometimes difficult to connect to.
Mika S

Small but spacious: a reliable car that you can always count on.
I have traveled so much in my Buick encore and I absolutely love it! I have had no issues with it; it is a very reliable car. It looks small from the outside but everyone that gets in my car is surprised how much space I have. It is able to move me in and out of college and is a good all around car to have.
Jan L
on March 19, 2021
It gets great gas mileage and fits a lot of groceries. It will not fit a wheelchair in the trunk without lowering the back seat.
It is a small luxury suv. It gets great gas mileage. It should have two arm rests in the front seat. Both seats should be fully electronic. It should have more charging plugs for cell phones.
Pat C
on March 17, 2021
Buick compares to any luxury vehicle on the market.
My Buick has very comfortable seating for long or short trips. It has been a very reliable, no problem vehicle that gets very good gas mileage. I have had no mechanical problems and have only had to do regular maintenance and upkeep. It has a very smooth ride with all of the comforts and extras that would come in a much more expensive vehicle.
Jerry N
on March 12, 2021
Overall satisfaction of my car.
My 2017 Buick encore does not have a CD player, but it gets good gas mileage, and is a pretty smooth ride. It is comfortable, and quick enough. It does not have a lot of take-off, but it is safe and I have had it over a year and had no mechanical issues so far.

This is a family friendly car you'll learn to love.

Violet J
on March 11, 2021
My Buick encore experience so far.
It is a great vehicle for a small SUV to get to and from comfortably and it is so incredibly great on gas mileage for road trips definitely. It is very techy which I love also! It has enough room in the trunk for your average grocery shopping days and also for your road tripping vacations.
Cari H
on March 9, 2021
Apple play is super nice!
For a small car it is absolutely amazing! Great gas mileage and not too cramped! Also love the touch screen and apple play! I can easily fit everything I need in my car. From friends to groceries, it is the perfect car. Also folding the back is super easy to clean and to pack more.

Love this car. I have not had any problems out of it thus far. I love all the features. The car is super comfortable and it rides really well.

Easy to handle, great gas mileage, I will buy another one when it comes time.
I have not had any problems yet, it is a wonderful car. I love it immensely. When it ever comes time to buy another one I will buy another Buick encore. It gets great gas mileage easy to handle on the road just a dream car. The only thing that has happened is I had to replace the battery. Great car.
Marisa F
on March 5, 2021
Overall I really enjoy this vehicle!
Pros: it feels like you are driving while sitting on a couch. On star, real time diagnostics, and smartphone adaptors make traveling a breeze. I love the automatic windows and power steering as well! Cons: the vent fan started to make a high-pitched chirping about 2 years after purchase.
Elizabeth A

Sleek and impressive family vehicle.
Wipers malfunctioning. Engine temperature sensor issues. Plenty of storage. Front driver seat has lumbar support. Front passenger seat is not comfortable when reclined. Good gas mileage. Sleek design. Works well with apple products. Difficult to clean seats.

Very dependable and great gas mileage.
My 2017 Buick encore get great gas mileage. I average thirty three miles per gallon all around. It handles very nicely. The only negative about my Buick encore is that it is a little small and has very little cargo room. All in all I am very satisfied with my vehicle purchase and would recommend.

Looks good happy with choice that I made and the warranty.
I have had no problems with the encore seems to be maintenance free presently but I do bring it for service to the dealer when it is needed I have warranty on the vehicle my warranty is for the lifetime and that's very good. I did change the oil within the last two months and usually drive around 6000 miles per year or being changed when needed.

It is slower to accelerate than other cars so it cannot vamp up as fast.
I love my car. Sometimes i wish it would accelerate faster but it is okay for now. I love how the seats fold down and there's so much room.
Haley T

The size is about the size of a midsize sedan with the room and height of an SUV.
Buick encores are the perfect size for millennials. I love driving a fuel efficient SUV that fits perfectly in the city but has plenty of room for road trips and friends! The stunning interior and design is sleek and stylish, while still having the charm of a Buick; quiet and comfortable!
Matt K
on February 28, 2021
Great mileage, and good convertible trunk space, but the high center of gravity doesn't respond well to wind and the seats don't feel like they hold you well enough.
I don't like how the seats feel like they don't support you enough and so you jiggle around in the car too much. Maybe if there were cross support X style seat belts it would be better.
Theresa F
on February 26, 2021
Great compact car with great interior room.
Only one center arm rest would be better with 2 car has power to go up hiss even with 4 cylinders. Easy to park in tight spaces. Great options on interior and exterior as well as trim package. Interior is very roomy for compact car. Great on gas mileage.
Eric J
on February 23, 2021
It is not for larger families, but perfect for a single person or small family.

Dependable, comfortable, great gas mileage.
This car is great on gas mileage. It is comfortable and big enough for me and my daughter. It is comfortable and rides smoothly. It has a nice, clean look to it. I love the two toned seats and the fact that it is equipped with Bluetooth. I would recommend this vehicle to a couple.
Aaron W

Say goodbye to the former “old man’s” vehicle!
No issues. Good solid vehicle with great gas mileage for an SUV! Seats are really comfortable. Kind of wish the back had more space, not the best for traveling with needed items! Good for a couple people to travel on a camping trip! Easy to clean! Enjoy all of the audio features and carplay! Really feel safe in this vehicle.

2017 Buick encore an honest college student review.
I love it but I really wish it had heated seats. It handles well in all weather thought which is great. It makes pretty good gas mileage but I do wish the tank held a bit more as I travel frequently and wish I could refill less. I also wish the trunk was bigger, as it really isn't spacious at all. However, it's a great everyday car.
Maria M
on February 15, 2021

It is a great car it has a lot of great features one being the back up cam.
I love my mini SUV. I love that it has a back up cam and it also has a very nice spacious radio and it is screen touched always wanted that. I like all the features they have as in how fast you are driving or how much miles you have left how much fire pressure you have and for what wheel it slot of more features to this car that I love. I have not had any complications with this car I would recommend this car to anyone who wants a SUV but not a big one.

Buick encore: not worth the money.
I have been having issues with my vehicle shortly after purchase. About a month after, there was a loud sound coming from the brakes. They replaced it. A couple months after the same sound but they couldn't hear it so nothing was done no matter how many times I made a complaint. I even recorded the sound and still no help. It has been three and half years now and it still makes that sound every day. One year and a half after purchase the battery had to be replaced, I would think twice before buying this car again.

Compact SUV with great features.
I love how comfortable my car is, it is very stable on the road. I compact with a lot of room, I love that it has apple play is it a must for me. It give great amount miles per gallon. I would say that the only downside to this car is that it automatically locks when all the door close.
Ken L

Great car, great ride. Can never go wrong with one.
Runs very smooth. Comfortable and roomy. Gets great gas mileage. Has a nice clean look and rides like a bigger SUV. Has plenty of pickup and a very reliable ride. I use it as my utility car and has never let me down. I would buy this car again and have fell in love with Buicks now.
Olivia C

Easy, affordable, comfortable and compact SUV for anyone!
Very easy and affordable, good looking interior, low maintenance, really great features for electronics/hooking up your phone, easy to use, small back seat but large enough for 2 people comfortably. The car is reliable and comfortable to drive. Not too loud inside the car when driving. Trunk is large enough to fit tons of groceries, but not too Big. Easy to park on a dime.

I really like the color black cherry. I like that it gets good gas mileage especially since do mostly drive in city. Having issues with the airbag system so have to take it to be serviced again.
Bobby C

The car stereo is a favorite feature of mine.
Car handles very well, its roomy for its size, its roomy for it size, and has very good gas mileage. The inside of the car is nice. The fold down back seats provide more room. The care is very reliable, the apps for starting and the keyless start are also nice features. Car is easy to get up to speed and even handles well at higher speeds when needed.
Ethan P
on January 25, 2021
Wow best car to buy I just love it, so comfy.
Its has a big truck and doesn't help when I have to reverse. Also the check engine light is on always. The headlight is broken and the tail light stopped working a couple years ago. I love the way the car feels, very comfy and save. The camera on the back is a big help with lots of groceries.
Ava K
on January 25, 2021
Worth it. Super efficient and powerful
The gas/brake pedals are pretty sensitive. The car overall performs well and is very reliable. For the compact size, there is surprising room in the car. The middle back seat can fold down and double as cup holders for the back seat. The starting price is a little high but worth it.
Gg K
on January 24, 2021
Affordable luxury and comfort.
This car is like affordable luxury. It has a lot of nice features that you wouldn’t find in other cars at this price or in this class. This includes a smoother ride, reduced road noise. It also has heated leather seats and steering wheel. Mine comes with a sunroof, touch screen, remote start, backup camera, and GPS among others. It is also nice to have an svu which sits a bit higher and has all wheel drive, while still having a compact size and gets great gas mileage. You can fold down the back seats for more storage and use a roof rack. Overall it is very comfortable and meets all of my needs.
Linda D

Buick encore - a great car.
This vehicle has been extremely reliable and has required nothing but routine maintenance. It gets very good gas mileage. It has an excellent tech package and has been easy to update as new plans and options become available. I enjoy both the navigation features and also the satellite radio package that is available. It is very easy to park in crowded spaces. I has great cargo space and I have enjoyed the moon roof.
Karen C

I am very happy I bought my car, it has great features and is very reliable.
It's super cute and very reliable. I've received so many compliments on it. There is plenty of room when I have passengers and it's very easy to put groceries in the back. I love the cover in the back so whatever is back there isn't' on display.

2017 Buick Encore Preferred Review
My car is great. It drives really well and smooth. It offers Apple Car Play as well as OnStar and Wi-Fi. I have some issues with the radio every once in a while. Also, my music will randomly turn down in volume and won't go back up for a few minutes. The rear view camera is super nice. I also got in a small accident about a week ago and it took it like a tank, barely a scratch! Overall, definitely my favorite car I've ever had.
Carol P
on January 18, 2021
Pleased with my 2017 encore.
I enjoy driving the encore. This is the 2nd one I have leased and will probably lease a third. The only feature I miss is an automatic tailgate feature. The tailgate is a bit small, but generally has enough space for me. Performs well and I have ye to have any repairs other than maintenance.
Kris L
on January 17, 2021
The Buick encore is a great car.
The car rides great. It drives smooth and runs quiet. I love the paint color called twilight, it is black with shimmer. The back seat is very roomy for the size of the car. I would like if the trunk space was a bit bigger but the back seats do fold down if you need the extra space. I bought my car used but it holds the value well. I have had no issues with the car so far, I have had it for a little less than a year. Two features I wish I had would be heated seats and a push button lift gate.
Courtney C
on January 16, 2021
Lots of trunk space for a crossover!
I love my encore! It is not to big as normal SUV but enough room to fit all my stuff. It is great on gas mileage! I usually drive from work to home and to the store occasionally, I only fill my tank up once every 2 weeks. Highly recommend the encore! Perfect for a small family.

Buick encore sport review.
I have had this car for 1 and half years, it has been extremely reliable, not a single issue so far. The seats are very comfortable for travel. If you are a bigger person it might seem slightly cramped. Would recommend to anyone looking for a small reliable SUV.
Kathleen D
on January 6, 2021
An okay vehicle, but very little cargo space.
The vehicle is very comfortable and runs well, but does not have enough trunk storage. It travels well in the snow, with very little problems in terms of maintenance. I wish the vehicle was bigger but all in all, it was fine. I probably would not get this particular model of vehicle again.
Helene S
on January 6, 2021
2017 model superior to older encores.
The 2017 model of this car is so much more user and tech friendly than previous models. I really like the apple/android play and touch screen. The only things I would have liked was a wider variety of car interiors and the double glove compartment of older models.
Maryann D
on December 31, 2020
I love the fact that it has a backup camera.
I have a 2017 Buick encore SUV that I bought used in 2019 for 14000 dollars. I am not an SUV person, but it runs and performs well. It also gets good gas mileage and it sits a little higher off the ground than a sedan. I wish the seats were bigger and made of leather.
Dylan V
on December 28, 2020
The car overall is nice for someone that does not want much.
The car is nice and easy I guess, it is kind of clunky but it gets the job done. The sound system is not as good as other cars and it does not play as loud. Overall the car is okay. I would like for the sound system to improve and the car to change its overall model. I don't really like SUVs that are small at the same time. It is not my car but my father has it, he likes it just well. We all have our preferences.
Teri L
on December 27, 2020
The Buick encore has everything for the driver who wants a smaller SUV ride.
It is the perfect size for an SUV designed for a smaller family or singular driver. The performance is excellent but it could be more fuel efficient. Very comfortable seating and nice amenities for travel such as all car cup holders, accessory pockets, and foldable seat dividers.
suri s

Comfortable ride, luxurious interior, attractive looking and handles well
It has been very dependable, no problems in 15000 miles.
Gives us good mileage, and is comfortable to ride in but is hard for my wife to get into as she is short and the seat is fairly high.
Divina T
on December 23, 2020
Safest vehicle and it has good gas mileage.
It has a good gas mileage and has a very comfy driver seat and everything inside is comfy that come up with modern screen and push button for heat and air. The only setback is it don't go to 80 or 90 mph. So we cannot really get around fast enough if we are in a hurry but all in all we love it bcoz its the safest vehicles built in its time year.
Chelsie D
on December 23, 2020
I have a fin at the top of my tailgate and I have faster engine!
I love my Buick encore! It has great gas mileage at about 28-30 on highway and 25-27 in town. It fits me and my dog very well, I am short (4’11”) though, my boyfriend at 5’8” can fit in my car nice too but if he is in the passenger seat and I am driving her does create a blind spot out of the passenger window so he just needs to help me look when passing. I am very sure that I will be able to fit at least 1-2 kids in my car with booster seats but if we have 3 or more I will need to get a new car. It is awesome you can fold down the back seats and passenger seat when hauling stuff and there is also a cover over the back cargo area so people cannot see what you have in there!
Kim L
on December 21, 2020
Perfect vehicle for family and traveling.
I have not had any issues with my vehicle. It has been reliable. Gas mileage is great. Comfort is wonderful. Vehicle seats 5 very comfortably and has enough room in the cargo space for a vacation of 5 people. The warranty that comes with the car is exceptional.

I have the performance 2 model and it seems very basic. I don't love that the hood does not stay up on its own. No heated seats. No storage. No CD player. (USB only) I don't love the touch screen either.

It drives very well. It has nice features.
It is not big enough... Especially the hatchback area. I would like more space, especially with two small kids that are still in car seats. Sometimes I do not have enough room for my groceries. I would also like to have more space for friends or family.

2017 base Buick encore review.
I personally love this car, I took it to the Smoky Mountains for a week and it did great even on steep ridges. For a small engine the car is fast and very fuel efficient. I made it from Michigan to Kentucky on a full tank of gas. The only downfall is the back seats do not fold all the way down not allowing the trunk and the back seat to extend.

The total package in my Buick encore.
Great ride, good gas mileage. Clear viewing navigation system. 4 seats, comfort. Nice interior like set up. Steers great. On longer trips good legroom for driver, mirrors offer great view of sides and rear. Buick lease program is number 1. Gm finance easy to pay online, can get points for use buying or leasing another vehicle. Locking system and alarm a-1.

Cozy and comfortable but still spacious. Nice look.
Good handling. Little cramped for all 5 people but if only up to 4 good space. Trunk is good size for monthly grocery shopping.

Comfortable and stylish with great handling.
Buick encore is a nice looking small SUV in my opinion. I love the way it sits high and great easy to get into. I am usually the driver and love the handling. When I am a passenger it is very comfortable. The only negative I think are the headrests. They're all at an odd angle and cannot be moved. Please check into this and maybe it will help Buick stay safe and comfortable.

Affordable compact SUV that gets good gas mileage.
My 2017 Buick encore is black and nothing fancy. It is a compact SUV that requires little maintenance and gets good gas mileage. It is a smooth quiet ride that I enjoy driving. I do not like the fact that it is keyless entry because I am used to putting a key in the ignition.

Buick encore, an affordable ride that will not disappoint.
I have only owned the vehicle for about two months, but so far the things I enjoy about it are the infotainment system, the smooth ride, the amount of cargo storage, the quietness of the ride and the gas mileage. The infotainment center is great when paired with either and iPhone or android. I currently pair it with android auto and use it for everything from plotting out destinations using google maps, listening to news, hearing events on my calendar, and connecting to Spotify. The rode is incredible smooth for a larger vehicle and quiet too due to the noise cancellation in the rear of the car. On average, I am averaging about 26-28 miles per gallon depending on where I am driving. Overall, I really like this vehicle.

Review on 2017 Buick encore, pros and cons from a consumers perspective.
I love my vehicle. Very comfortable, I love the seat. I like how small the car is and the car is very easy to turn compared to other cars. The only problem I would have is the driver not having a arm rest and there is a brake assist that sometimes impairs my driving. The apple car play also has problems.

Great look and performance, but not as roomy as a 4-door car.
The performance is very good, both in town and on the interstate. It has been very reliable for me. It is very comfortable. On longer trips of 200 miles or more, I find myself fidgeting some, because I get a little uncomfortable in my back and cannot seem to adjust my seat to alleviate that, but it is minor. The features are all very easy to use and convenient. I have had an issue with the computer at least twice where the digital readout on the speedometer has disappeared, but has always come back up after turning off the car and restarting. It is something to watch out for. The backseat is a little tight, actually found more room in a four door car than in the encore.

10/10 would recommend this car - heck I’ll be getting another one!
I absolutely love my car! This is my first experience with Buick and I’ll definitely be buying another one in the future! It is stylish, safe, and drives smoothly! It is not too big, but I can fit everything I need to comfortable inside of the car. I would definitely recommend it!

Buick Encore: Good- Looking Comfort if You are Driving Alone
The Encore is the most comfortable car I've ever driven. The lumbar support and adjustments for the driver's seat are great! I also appreciate the built-in backup camera. The stereo is nice, particularly with a Sirius subscription, and the built-in Onstar works well. The car Is not as wide as my Honda CR-V, so two passengers up front can bump elbows, and the front passenger seat is not as comfortable or controllable as the driver's side. It feels a little cramped. Otherwise, it's a good car and nice-looking.

It has a nice technology package.
My car is great on gas, it fits great in little spaces, also it has a android app that you can download to your phone and use while in your car that I love!!.. And all the safety features are a big plus for me.. I do not have any dislikes, I love my Buick.

Smooth riding. Drives and rides like a Cadillac.
Hesitates when air conditioning is on. Nice riding vehicle. Easy to handle easy to keep clean sharp-looking good gas mileage 30 miles to gallon and it is in the city. It is the Cadillac of all Chevy and it is affordable. Finally for a car is almost 2 years old and only had six thousand miles on it.

Very reliable car with good gas mileage and modern interior and exterior.
Vehicle performs great. Very reliable. Love the Bluetooth and how easy it is to set up. Also, I like the push button start. It has good speakers and good gas mileage. I like the sleek look of the vehicle, specially for it being a Buick. Only negative is the space when you use car seats for small children.

My highlight was the first time I got the car I didn't crash.
Its so durable. It's a very good car I always trust my safety when I am cruising down the street. I would suggest it to anyone who asked if its good on gas I'd say no not as much but it does get the job done. I would buy again even if the price was inequality.

It is roomy for taller passengers.
I like how smooth it drives. Gas mileage is decent. Good amount of space for a small SUV. Do not like that back seats do not fold down.

I love that it came equipped with OnStar.
I have had this vehicle for 3 years and have not had any problems. It gets great gas mileage and drives really well in the snow. It has plenty of room for my family. Does however lack storage space inside the console is tiny and the glove compartment is small also. Overall it is a great vehicle.

A great car, excellent choice for anyone.
I love how smooth the steering is, it is very seamless and natural to navigate. It does not have as much power as some cares do but I find it suits me just fine. The rear view camera is a life saver when it comes to backing up and parallel parking and the ability to connect to multiple devices via Bluetooth is very convenient to me.

THe most important thing people should know about my car is that it does not have a lot of storage space
It is a small SUV. It just is missing a couple of features that I wish it had.
