The Buick encore is easy to handle and park it is a fun affordable ride!
I have had no problems with my vehicle. I have 30,000 miles on it. Recently it stated that the battery in the key fob needed replacing. The “my Buick” updates you on the health of the vehicle and any problems that need to be addressed. It is a comfortable vehicle, but a little smaller than my previous vehicle. It handles well and is easy to park.

I love my Buick, it is the very best vehicle that I have ever owned.
My buick’s performance is great. The dashboard has many features such as Bluetooth, Wi-Fi connection, smart features. It drives easy and comfortably seats five. The sensors let me know how much air is in tires, how many miles until next oil and filter change, how many miles I have left based on how much gasoline I have. The seats are automatic, power windows, security system, rear window wipers automatic headlights and many other wonderful features that I enjoy.

Buick encore, reliable with great features small compact SUV.
Drives well. Handles very sharply. Have a lot of highway miles but no mechanical issues after 2 years. A little snug if your looking for something with lots of room. Affordable with great features. Starts every time. Correct storage space but back seats find down for more room. Great speakers.

Quick overview of 2018 Buick encore.
There is overall great performance, however the 2018 Buick encore does not retain value as well. Nitpicky things bother me such as loud ac. Regarding gas mileage, I expected it to be better due to the size of the vehicle (definitely on the smaller size). Great car for young adults/teenagers as a beginner car. Simple to use and relatively safe.

A small but cozy crossover.
The trunk is to small, can hardly fit luggage in there. It has very little pick up and has several blind spots. I do like that it not bad on gas and I love that I sit high up and can see ahead. As you can tell I am mixed about this vehicle and I do not think that I would get another one. The seats are comfortable but the seat belt hits me in the neck area. Not a good thing.

Small but with great features.
I do not like that I do not have a center console for storage. I love the backup camera and the Bluetooth radio. I also really like the push to start feature and how it beeps when my keys are left in the car. It also makes it easy for me that the unlock buttons are on the door handles.

My new Buick encore is pretty amazing!
It's a compact SUV so if you want more space then it is not the way to go it is bigger than a car but not much bigger. It is perfect for me just the size I wanted. It is comfortable and high off the ground which is helpful for me on a dirt road. It gets up to speed pretty fast great gas mileage and the apple carplay is so handy it is my favorite car so far.

There is no room, get a bigger vehicle if you have kids.
There is not a lot of negative things about this vehicle. It runs great. The only complaint I have is that there is not a lot of room. It feels like you are on top of the person next to you. Also, the trunk space is basically non existent. If you have kids or need a lot of room, it is not for you.
Edward W

Not enough room for car seats.
It's a great car. Runs great, looks great, drives smooth. I just hate how there is such little room for car seats. I am 6 foot tall so when I drive my chair is against the car seat leaving no legroom for my daughter. It's not big enough for car seats and that's my only problem with it.
Jeanne S
on June 4, 2021
Great compact family SUV, fantastic intel system!
We have had zero problems and very much enjoy our encore. It is a very small SUV though so not a lot of storage space. The back seat is good for two kids but would not fit more than that comfortably. The car rides smoothly and the intel system is very helpful. We love the apple car play and use it every time we drive the car.
Maddie M
on May 30, 2021
My favorite detail is my sound system in my car.
It is a very nice and safe car. I absolutely love my car. If you looking for a safe car, I suggest this one. I haven't had very many problems with it. The Buick encore fits me very well because I am very short. Also the environment of the Buick encore is very comforting.
Melin M
on May 29, 2021
Buick encore is awesome but needs some updates, talking about the base model.
My car is awesome but I feel it is outdated, very small. For the price I could've gotten a small car with a lot more features. It is drives very well though but definitely think it could be upgraded with maybe a arm rest for the passenger or even some air vents in the back. With little SUVs it is important to have air flowing.

Comfort and luxury in a everyday vehicle.
I have had not had any major problems with the car. I like the size and comfort of the inside. All the details are up to date and work seamlessly. They do have a carplay option when you plug in your smart device. I would like to be able to that wirelessly.
Lane S
on May 13, 2021
Excellent car lacking performance.
The door design is nice. Excellent air conditioning overall. I enjoy the smooth seat design for everyday relaxation. Although very comforting and reliable, I think an additional performance is something my car could have had. Overall it is a fantastic car from a handsome brand.
Jamie L
on May 9, 2021
It runs well, good on gas, a few minor changes would make it perfect.
Car runs great, all features work well. For a small SUV, it has a lot of space. Not much room in the trunk area, so it would help if the back seats could be removed so you could lay the back of the seat all the way down if you are transporting something larger. The USB ports should be placed somewhere other than the front compartment. It is difficult to use them, especially due to the vertical angle.
Jesse A
on May 5, 2021
It is style and rear cam feature.
Solid performance and very comfortable. No problems with it. When it comes to long trips it is very smooth and not a lot worry with the use of gas as well. Another thing to add on is the interior of the Buick encore is nice and style to it. Last thing to note is the rear cam is a nice touch. Makes backing up a lot easier than before.

2019 Toyota Camry consumer review.
The 2019 is the fifth Camry I have leased. The previous four were all reliable and great performers. I love the new styling of the 2019 Camry. The ride is also awesome. The problem with the car is very sluggish and delayed acceleration. My other four Camry's were very responsive and had quick acceleration, so much better than the 2019. I cannot believe that the folks at Toyota are not aware of this. I am very disappointed with the car's performance. Too bad, because it really is a nice car. Will not get a sixth one unless they fix this. Hoping for a software update or a recall to fix this very noticeable acceleration problem.
Jerald P

My car is interesting because it is invisible.
I love this car because it really gets the job done. It gets me to and from work and is safe for the kids. I do not have many worries in this car because it just feels safe. One day I will let my kids learn to drive on this car because I trust it so much in reliability. It has four wheel drive and goes smoothly in bad weather. In the winter I just put on snow tires and we are ready to go.
Daniela D
on April 8, 2021
My favorite part is heating seats.
Everything is amazing. Very smooth user friendly car. Safe for adults and children. Lots of storage space. Ac is amazingly strong with warming seats. Automatic car turn on from very far away. Leather seats stay pretty clean since wipeable. Seats are easy to put down for extra trunk space.
Mercedes M
on April 8, 2021
Buick encore-cute and stylish.
I like my vehicle but would love more horsepower and a bird's eye view camera. I like the interior, back up camera and touch screen. I would like more trunk space, cup holders and tinted windows for front seats. I enjoy satellite radio and the sound system.
Monica M

White, clean, nice, average SUV size.
The 2018 Buick encore that I drive is good, overall. It rides smoothly. It is nice in the inside. It is good on gas and mileage. The color is white and stays clean. Detailing and trimming on the interior is nice. Compared to a Land Rover, the Buick encore does not feel as sturdy. It does feel a little cheap.
Cierra L
on April 2, 2021
Big luxury’s with a small price tag.
I love the comfort and features that the car came with especially for the price point. The tint and helps keep the car cooler. I like the rear view camera, sensors, and blind spot monitors that it came with as safety features. I appreciate the luxuries it came standard with and the overall size of the vehicle.
Vicky B
on March 31, 2021
Great to drive a building encore.
I love the way it drives. It is so easy to drive and back up, especially the rearview camera, this is the first one I have had. Since I am short I do not like the front seat headrests. The passenger side front seat is in my site of vision when I turn to look out the back side door window. I like that the back seat headrests slide down over the backseat so they are out of the way of my vision when I look back. I really like the Bluetooth hook up for my phone, especially the handsfree when talking or receiving calls. The on star is really nice.
Laura M
on March 22, 2021
Too small, too slow, and too expensive.
The quality of this vehicle does not match the price. The engine is slow and loud. I have kept regular maintenance and at 2 yrs old it should be quieter. It is not a smooth ride and seems to require a lot of effort to pick up speed. The rugs were thin and cheap. The seats seem comfortable but after an hour trip your neck hurts. It was sold as an upgrade from Chevy but feels a little cheap.
Lindsey S
on March 19, 2021
Great vehicle, with a few issues.
This vehicle has many features and is easy to drive. My favorite feature is that I can check the tire pressure with the flick of my wrist. I live in an area with terrible roads, and it's something I rely on every time I hit a pothole. The trunk storage space is not ideal for more than one person. My groceries each week barely fit, and a recent trip with my friend to Florida had us grateful we didn't have anyone else riding with us, because there would have been no room. The lift-gate is not automatic, and the option is not available on this model. At first I didn't think it mattered, but I've found myself wishing for it several times since purchasing one year ago. My main complaint, however, is the headrests on the seats. They are angled forward and I find riding for long distances exceptionally uncomfortable. I drive 3 hours a day for work, so by the end of the day my neck is so sore I can't stand the pain. Aside from those things, however, this is a wonderful vehicle, at a very reasonable price.
Nicholas W
on March 18, 2021
This encore should be called "Buick little giant".
I like the vehicle very much. It looks like a small SUV, but I can get an 8 foot piece of lumber in side and still close the back door. I have only had it for 7 months. There are no problems, it is very dependable and very comfortable. The engine has plenty of get up and go. This a perfect vehicle for a retired person.
Leslie G
on March 16, 2021
Beautiful color for a beautiful automobile.
My Buick encore is fun to drive, comfortable, has excellent gas mileage and I feel. Very safe driving it. The coppertina color is beautiful, the wheels are so shiny and really add the finishing touch to a very pretty automobile. It is easy to handle in all types of weather and I love opening the sunroof!
Samantha S
on March 15, 2021
Beautiful little SUV crossover.
The car is amazing, when we bought it WR has a 5 and a 6 year old, now that they have gotten bigger the back isn't quite so roomy anymore for them. Drives super nice and has lots of features that I like, there is an option for in car internet which is super nice for long car rides.
Denise H
on March 9, 2021
The 2018 Buick encore highlights.
This car is a very comfortable ride & pretty good on gas mileage. There are very minimal blinds spots. Sits higher than a regular car, which is nice. The driver seat has great lumbar support. The front & rear seats are roomy & comfortable. The rear space is very private & has sufficient roomy rear.
Jennifer I
on March 8, 2021
Buick perfect crossover SUV.
It is very comfortable, only downfall is that the passenger front seat does not have an armrest. Definitely think it should. Reliability is amazing gets great gas mileage. Would definitely get another Buick. Does not disappoint! Small enough but also roomie enough.
Mike D
on March 8, 2021
Buick encore - a quiet and reliable car.
The car is quiet and good on gas. It has a nice entertainment system. The car handles well and has been reliable. I have no issues with the car from a mechanical point of view. My wife likes the color of the car. The trunk is a little on the small side for an SUV.
Shirley G

Black Buick encore, fully loaded with enhanced technology.
My vehicle is fully loaded. There are no problems with it so far. I can access so many things, my favorite is the voice command GPS system, and you get to talk to a live operator when you are traveling to new places. I truly adore my vehicle! The interior is easy to clean as well.
Donna R
on March 6, 2021
Nice looking vehicle, great visibility!
I love the size of the vehicle: high enough to have great visibility, but not high enough to need a step stool! Very smooth ride, instrument panel intuitive and easy to navigate. I love the back up camera! And the side 'warnings' when changing lanes.
Kelsye H
on March 5, 2021
The leather seats are amazing.
It runs smoothly. It also has a good amount of get-up and go. I love the interior. I love the leather seats which are also black. I cannot imagine not having my Buick. It is also good on gas as well which is comforting since I travel a lot. Other than the gas it can also hold my small family of three which is amazing for my family.
Christina T
on March 4, 2021
Nice, powerful, smooth ride
The Encore has a nice ride and a lot of power. The gas mileage is awesome. The back up camera is such a nice feature. There aren't a lot of blind spots I don't think there are any. I never thought I would live a Buick, but car exceeded all my expectations.
Diane S
on March 4, 2021
It is easy to drive. I can see out of the car easily, and maneuver easily.
I like my Buick Encore for the most part. It is not a very luxurious car, though. The trunk area is small, and the passenger's seat doesn't recline. It does get good gas mileage and is very reliable.
Kathryn L
on March 3, 2021
The best part honestly has been the weightlessness of the vehicle.
It is a great car, looks small on the outside but has a lot of storage space. The car is light and very easy to drive. It is a very compact car, so it fits easily into tighter spaces. The technology in the car is pristine, very high tech. The built in weathertech floor mats are great for the kids and easy to clean. The car gets great gas mileage, I drive a fair amount for work and yet I still find that I do not need to fill my tank as often as I would normally. The backup camera is very helpful, amazing help. However, I do wish two things: one, that the pedals were a bit less touchy and two, that the front passenger seat was able to move using buttons similar to the driver's seat.
Nicole B
on March 2, 2021
When I hook up my phone to my car my phone screen goes onto my car screen.
Not a lot of space in the backseat of the car. I am about to have an infant car seat in there full time and it takes up a lot of the back seats. Vehicle does not have remote start like older years of this vehicle have. No light on side mirrors to warn of other vehicles in your blind spots.
Jace H
on February 24, 2021
One of the best books out there. With an amazing council.
I really like the car, it has a great heat during the winter and really cools me off during the summer. It has great speakers and surround sound. I think it's one of the better cars out there. I would hit another one of these cars if I could. I really think you would like it.

Buick encore review: pros and cons of driving Buick.
I bought my Buick encore (2018) in 2019 and I absolutely fell in love with Buick. I love the luxury feel you get while driving. Some cons are that it is small so does not have very much space. I do not like that I cannot turn off the auto-stop option. It is a great vehicle, however, just has a few cons. I would definitely be happier in the enclave.
Ric J

2018 Buick enclave review - 5 stars.
No problems with this new Buick mini SUV! I drive it seven days a week around 40 miles per day doing postmates in my area. Gas mileage is great, at around 30 miles per gallon on low octane. It holds five people just fine and has a great road feel and drive.
Richard S
on February 13, 2021
Great crossover model of car that anyone should enjoy!
Very spacious, accommodating for people with handicaps. Very good gas mileage at 35 mpg. The other thing I wish was included was a CD player since transferring everything to digital is a hassle. The rear seats fold down to allow for more storage in the rear of the vehicle.
Ann H
on February 5, 2021
Buick encore- compact SUV with big features.
The Buick encore is comfortable to ride in and very smooth to drive. I am short but feel I can see well and manipulate the car easily. I like being able to put the seats down for easy storage and transport. The controls are clearly marked and easy to change.
Tonya L
on February 3, 2021
Love this buick encore - not your grandma’s car.
Not much room for passengers. Smooth ride. Comfortable seats. Very reliable vehicle. Love the apple play integration. You can use bluetooth or directly plug your phone in. Had one issue that ended up being a sensor. It was replaced under warranty at no cost to me.
Jillian S
on February 2, 2021
The car is fairly luxurious yet still financially modest.
So far I have had no troubles with this vehicle. It is easy to drive and the suspension is great, though it could be better. Sometimes the drive feelings rocky on certain freeways like the 91 going onto the 10. The weight of the car feels heavy enough which makes it more comfortable to drive as compared to a Prius. I take good care of this car so maintenance is not a problem. My mom uses the car to commute to work every day so the gas on the vehicle is fair. I have also taken this vehicle across state borders several times and it has proved to be a reliable car.
Caleigh M
on January 31, 2021
Love my Buick encore - it is safe, comfortable, and reliable with decent pick-up.
The car is very comfortable with adjustable lumbar support on the driver's seat, adjustable headrests, etc. The back seats are spacious as well. Sometimes the blind spot detector on the driver's side goes off even when there is not anything there. Needed to replace the battery after only a year, most likely because the battery was a dud, but it was covered under warranty.
Christy M
on January 29, 2021
I love my car- I love how it looks, and how it feels on the road.
Modern features- Apple Carplay, backup camera, USB port; the car is a small SUV, so it's not super spacious, but it has the perfect amount of space for what I need.
Bobbi S
on January 26, 2021
The smooth ride, Its comfortable on long trips.
My car is slightly smaller than my previous vehicle a Chevrolet. I can fit all the things that used to fit in my previous car. My gas mileage is super, the comfort of the ride is great. I especially love the navigation panel and the ease of use.
B
on January 26, 2021
Stay away
No, I would not recommend. I had nothing but issues. The motor would stop in the middle of driving 65 miles on the highway. The emergency lights did not work when I turned them on the first time. The display fell out - this all when I bought it new in the first 4 weeks. It hadn't gotten better, display flickers. Unexplained battery drainage and the Dealership keeps repairing away and then acting like nothing was wrong. I reached out to GM, but like always they just connect you from one person to the next. Never again GM or Buick.
Sam D

2018 Buick encore personal opinion review.
My 2018 Buick encore has been a very reliable vehicle so far. I have only had two big issues. One being that for some reason, still unknown, my SUV completely shut down while driving. It only happened once and it was just a few months after having it. I am still unsure of the reason since we did not get an answer on it. Two being the windshield wiper fluid thing busted because of the cold temperatures! Even though this happened, I went in to get it looked at and they were able to fix it in just a few short days! As far as the physical appearance of the vehicle, it is super cute and cozy but the backseat is not ideal for those expecting soon or for those who have kids that require a car seat.
Richard K

I really like the daytime lights and they come on automatically at dusk.
My trunk space is a little smaller than my previous Jeep liberty. Like the way it handles. Back seat is a good size. It took me a little while to get used to the difference of a smaller engine and difference in pick up. Air conditioning and radio work great. Cute car. Feel more protected than in the Jeep.

2018 Encore: perfect for mountain and city driving
I love my Encore! The vehicle is perfect for where I live, great size for city driving and strength/power for day trips up to the mountains. The only thing I have to say against it is the back seat does not fit tall humans real well, very little leg space in the back, however, that is a normal thing for compact SUVs.

2018 Buick Encore. Review
I have had no problems it runs out great easy to use love the interior features it gets great gas mileage is easy to get in and out of an easy to maintain this model comes with a luggage rack and has plenty of cup holders and room for a small family also has plenty of cargo space back seats can be folded down if needed for extra storage
Bonnie A
on January 13, 2021
I like the amount of gas mileage I am getting. Easy to fill up and drives great.
Perfect size. Comfortable seats. Easy to drive and easy to get in and out of. Interior is black and the large dash draws in lots of heat. Wish Buick made a dash cover for the Encore in a lighter color of beige like the seats
Michael F

Quiet, solid ride with good soundproofing. Has most bells and whistles in the vehicle. Good winter/snow traction.
Have had car since November 2017; now have (September 2018) 7500 miles on it. Used for short commute only. In town mileage average is 29 mpg; has heated seats and Apple carplay. Perfect for commuting.

A Buick's electrical problems.
As with other Buicks we have owned in the past, our 2018 encore has electrical problems. The dashboard does not always stay lit. This is very concerning because we also wonder if the headlights are operating. This problem extends to the radio. It similarly does not stay lit so we do not know how to change a station.

My children have decorated my vehicle and turned it into a ladybug.
I have yet to have any problems. The car I have is very family friendly. Tons of space. Great on gas. Spacious and high tech. I absolutely love this car and would recommend it to anyone. It has amazing features. Highway mileage is great. It gets us where we need to be. It's got great safety features and operates very smoothly.

Melodie W

Peppy great car and driving ability.
The vision is obscured by the head rests when looking to pass. The seats are comfortable and it is roomy. Good trunk space and back seats fold down to make more room. It has passing lane lights in side mirrors. Great heat and ac. I love the color and drives very well.
Lisa B

Smooth-driving, stylish crossover with decent mpg.
Drives smoothly and does not feel like I am driving a larger vehicle crossover but has the roomier interior that I love. Have only had it for a month and a half but so far I have no complaints and am still excited to drive it, as I am still in that new-car mode.

Buick encore perfect for young drivers.
I love my car! It has been very good for me as a college student. It has been the perfect size for my everyday travels as well. I have not had any problems with the car either. It rides smoothly, and overall is a safely made car for young drivers. When looking for this car, I was really interested in having a digital dialog and speedometer.
Andrea E
on December 26, 2020
Holds up really well and is a good car for everyday driving. I feel really safe while driving it.
Runs nice and is very comfy. Has held up in a minor accident well with very minimum damage when I was rear ended by another car. Drives very well in snow. Don't like that there is no CD player in the car though.
Cara G
on December 24, 2020
Not bad overall. No major complaints. Ok.
There is no seek on the radio. The automatic car starter has limited distance range. Drives well. Small. Seems durable. Sound/speakers aren't that great. Small so fits in all parking spots. Feels heavy when driving (in a good way). Great gas mileage. No sunroof or heated seats.
Kel S
on December 20, 2020
If you are on the fence about getting this car you should pull the trigger.
I would highly recommended the Buick encore to anyone in need of a small SUV that you can count on. It is great on gas and it is very versatile. I put all my back seats down and take road trips to go camping. I also put my dogs back there and they love it.
Tyler D
on December 19, 2020
The Buick encore is black, the windows are not tinted.
It's reliable so far I've had 0 problems with the car and it's comfortable to drive and has great gas mileage. The back seat is kind of tight in my opinion but it gets the job done. The seats also fold down for extra storage which is great for shopping or luggage for trips.
Camie R
on December 17, 2020
Secret compartment under passenger seat.
This vehicle is great it drives very smooth and is great on gas mileage. The only issue I have is that the trunk is a lot smaller than it seems, in order to put almost anything in there the seats need to come down. Otherwise it is great and I love the Bluetooth features and the apple car play.
Martha A
on December 16, 2020
Love my reliable Buick encore.
I love my Buick encore. I have not had any problems with performance. I love that I can count on my car to get me where I need to go! I also love that it has the electric features for adjusting the lumbar support and drivers seat at the push of a button. It has plenty of room for my needs, and I like the privacy feature for the hatchback trunk. There has only been one instance with my encore where I was ever concerned. The digital dashboard that displays the gas level and mph went blank once when I stopped at a light. I turned off my car while I was stopped and then back on, and it came back. I guess the car was doing an update or something. It has not happened again for the last almost 2 years.
sze C

Great vehicle that met all expectations.
A little low for its size but the car is well made and feels way more luxury oriented. Great stereo. Easy electronics to understand. The fuel consumption is amazing, personally I love how I can rely on my car not burning through gas. Would like a more comfortable bucket seat.
Leah C
on December 11, 2020
Buick encore the perfect mini SUV!
My car rides very comfortably. I have no complaints it is a small SUV and sits high up. Love the interior. There is very minimal road noise. I do wish there were heated seats with a massaging back rest. The passenger seat does not have an armrest. All in all it is a very safe reliable vehicle.
Theresa F
on December 11, 2020
Small, easy to handle and park. Great gas mileage.
Xm radio has been replaced two times. I feel that there should be 2 armrest one for driver and one for passenger in the front. Had an issue with the back washer fluid line it has a problem clogging in the cargo area above the liner in order to repair you have to take the inside roofing apart.
Pam B
on December 9, 2020
I don't have a title. It's a great car. Not bad on gas.
You'll have to try it for yourself. My likes may not be the same as yours. You should go test drive one on do research if you like what you see.
Alyssa C
on December 8, 2020
Super cute, sporty vehicle.
It's great small SUV. I travel a lot for my job. Although Buick has been known to be an old person car. They have sported up their vehicles. Super cute. It's a lease - leather - all wheel drive - backup camera - safety features etc. But next time I will be getting a bigger SUV. This is a little too small for me.
Karen K

Buick encore great gas mileage and great comfort.
Love my encore it is great on gas and comfortable. Love how the back seats fold flat for my puppies! Easy to keep clean and load up for travels. The extra storage in the back under the flap where the spare is, very convenient and great for the little extras!

My car review for the 2018 Buick.
Comfortable, holds a good amount of people because of how many seats there at. No problems with it whatsoever. Smooth drive. Has both air conditioner and heater which work great. Everything about this car from the shape, color and the interior makes the car amazing.

Very smooth driving and lots of space. I especially love how tall off the ground it is and the multitude of adjustments available for the seats and steering wheel. There is plenty of storage space and the display screen is bright and has a lot of options.

A few items to tweak but I love it.
If you are short, under 5'4', it is difficult to remove snow off the vehicle. For maximum performance on snow, I would get snow tires. The sunroof is a waste of time. I love the car. It is very comfortable, is roomy. It does not have a tie down just in case you need to keep the hatch open to transport long items like a kayak.

Excellent electronic dash system. Fun to drive around town or on the highway.
Really like this smaller SUV. Has cruise control, excellent backup camera that makes backing into parking spots so effortless. The dashboard is rich looking with an infotainment system with an 8-inch frameless screen. Looked at the Chevrolet trax but this interior is so much better. It has a cover for the hatchback trunk that I put my bread on when shopping so it does not get crushed. Folding back seats, just a fun car to drive.

Great heated seats for long drives.
We have had no problems with the vehicle. The performance is great as well as the gas mileage. It is very reliable and is great for long drives with the comfort and features. The seats are great with the heaters and the technology to set the temperature or the preference in your music.

Great car, great size, drives awesome!
I love my encore. It is compact but the space is super efficient. Love the apple CarPlay feature and the radio controls on the steering wheel. I also love that you can put the back seats down for extra storage. The car drives great and is fairly good on gas!

Small footprint but many extras.
This is a small SUV that sits a little higher. It gets 30 to 35 mpg and can seat 4 adults comfortably. I like the way it syncs with my cell phone and I like the display of the navigation system.

It is a small economical car that is comfortable when driving.
It is small and easy to drive. I like it cause at my age it is not to high to have to pull yourself into the car and it is not to low that you cannot get out of the car. It has a very good air conditioning system. I have had some issues with the turbo booster on the car which does not let the car go fast so it kind of hesitates when entering freeway.

Black, basic, nothing fancy.
I just purchased this vehicle in July and have not had any issues or problems with it so far. It is a bit small, but for the use and the price I couldn't have picked a better vehicle. The inside is very functional even though there is not an armrest on the passenger side. There is one on the drivers side which is surprisingly comfortable to use from the passenger seat.

I love that is has such a large screen for the backup camera.
This is a perfect compact vehicle for anyone. I bought mine because I live in the Midwest and needed something with all wheel drive. It is a smaller vehicle but I have felt like it is been very comfortable. Being that it is a smaller SUV, you get decent gas mileage in it. Since owning it, I have taken multiple hour road trips and usually average about 25 miles per gallon. The gas tank is smaller but I have not found that to be an issue.

It has great fuel mileage.
I like the gas mileage. The vehicle needs to have more need room in the cabin as well as in the back for transporting.

That it is a great vehicle for everyday use as well as taking short trips.
I like that it is an SUV. I like that it is a compact vehicle and that it is very comfortable as well as has many safety features.

The rear seats fold flat.
I love the size, features and comfort of the encore. The back up camera is a must have from now on, it enables me to back up safely. The hands free feature is wonderful, I can adjust the volume, change the radio station and even mute the radio all from the steering wheel.

2018 w/80k going strong!
I purchased a 2018 Buick Encore brand new, And I Have put 80000 miles on mine within the 2.5 years I have owned it. It's very fast, I'm comfortable in the driver seat and the back seat is spacious considering the size of the vehicle. Back seats fold down so I can fit a lot inside if need be. Only downside for me has been android auto cuts out often. This may be due to the charging port on this old phone or not using the best USB cables....But it also may be that this technology just isn't perfect yet. I notice to sometimes when I get notifications on my phone that will kick me off of android auto but then 10 to 15 seconds later the screen lights up again and android auto is back. I did have a problem where acceleration seemed to go down like I lost power between 2 specific gears, It was under warranty said the dealership replaced some part that they apparently put in these cars to make sure they don't drive off by themselves. Once replaced it was accelerating like new again. Not badd for being the only problem in 80000 miles, I am still on the brake pads and tires that I left the dealership with I am very pleased and will probably be buying the exact same set of tires and brakes when it is time to replace them.

Buick owner for lifetime.
Really like the car. Good gas mileage it has plenty of room on the inside. Comfortable seats. It has sporty feel to the driving of the vehicle on the roads and mountains. I would recommend driving Buick manufactured cars to anyone looking to purchase a vehicle. Been driving a Buick for 15 years now.

2018 base Buick encore review.
The car does not accelerate well and does not drive smoothly on highways. Does not have blind spot detector. Large inside for a small car. Drives well. Nice interior. Bad blind spots. Wish it had more updated features. Backup camera gets blurry with the rain.

A part of the outdoors with BMW.
I pretty much like everything about my vehicle. The color, interior is roomy, and it has just about everything I am needing I do have some issues thought that I have made a point to tell the dealership about such as the trunk opening by itself m. Even when my key fob is nowhere close to my body or to the vehicle itself. They keep telling me it is my fault. Keep this in mind for future purchases just in case it happens to you.

Tiny car but nice and fun to drive!
I like it! Everything about it is great. My only complaint is that it is tiny. There is very little space inside. People in the backseat have no leg room, and it is almost impossible to fit an infant car seat back there. I have to put it in the passenger side and lean the front seat forward. So, an infant and an adult passenger cannot ride in the car at the same time.

Beautiful made vehicle that is fun to drive!
The Buick encore has very nice interior and exterior finish. It is fun to drive. The base model includes a backup camera for use when in reverse. XM satellites radio is available for purchase. This vehicle also gets good gas mileage. Comfortable to drive as well.
