An excellent buy for an commuter/urban vehicle

2014 Buick Encore Leather 4dr SUV (1.4L 4cyl Turbo 6A)
My car came with zero flaws. Great build quality. I have probably bought 20 or so new cars over my lifetime and none came as flawless as this one. First oil change due now after about 5,000 miles. I have not been back to the dealer since I bought it in June.
3rd Valve Cover Gasket
Dee Jay, Rockledge, FL, 02/21/2020
2014 Buick Encore Leather 4dr SUV (1.4L 4cyl Turbo 6A)
I purchased this car in September 2014 and I really enjoy it. The gas milage is great. It is sporty, it is versatile and on trend. It is now February 2020 and I have had to replace 3 valve cover gaskets and each repair is upwards of $300.00. There must be a defect in the engineering and its very frustrating. When the valve cover needs to replaced the engine light comes on, the car … drives rough and sputters like it is going to shut off. At this moment the car has only 101,564 miles.
2014 Encore is a money pit

2014 Buick Encore Leather 4dr SUV (1.4L 4cyl Turbo 6A)
Be sure to get an extended warranty on the Encore if you plan to keep it very long. Mine has constant MAJOR repairs since I passed 80,000 miles.
Mother in-laws Car My Foot!

2014 Buick Encore Leather 4dr SUV (1.4L 4cyl Turbo 6A)
Do research about the dealership and cost along with push back a pushy salesman. The once upon a time in disclosing that the car "used to belong" is just about the best way to turn around and leave any dealership. I have owned my car for 11 month and in the beginning it was just want I wanted. although the price in paying off the mother in laws issues is not worth it, I felt I could … afford the thing which has turned in the creature from the black lagoon. I have had it towed to two different Buick dealerships 6 times and i just waiting for the 7th the pop up any day now. The service departments have replaced the batteries 4 times and one was a call back and I don't even remember what the other issue was. None-the-less the surgical attempts failed and I am stuck with the grayest lemon in the city of Massillon, Ohio. I have reviewed several other reviews from individuals who shared having the same problem and the results were the same unresolved by Mr. GM and the dealership. At one point, there was contact with the dealership that was made but being told to take it somewhere that services Buick was fine, but no offers of support were ever issued. You know you have a semi-lemon (semi because it will work on occasion) When a opening statement of regret starts as "Well." Alright you have been had kiddo, lights out, party's' over, pig's on the griddle and you have been cooked. Why is there not a legitimate complaint division for cars? and true justice for a lemon. Yes I do I understand the lemon law but who's to listen. Such unrequited trust in what we count as justice, until those who we count on to deliver justice is wearing our size 9.5's. If I don't express my feeling I would probably break and drive it right down GM's you know what.
