I leased a 2017 Encore and appearance and basic performance wise it is an awesome car. Safety features are great and initially we were pleased. I believe the first notice came on the way home when my wife says "hey where is my arm rest?" I'm like are you kidding one small arm rest for two people. The second thing that came out was when we both went to fasten seatbelts at the same time..."Not happening"...Thirdly This car may be perfect if you are a small person but if you have any size to you "beware" it gets a little close. Never ever try and put a full sized adult in the back seat. You do have one but maybe would work for a small child.

I got the car with 16 miles on it in 2017. I've had it in the shop more than any previous vehicle. The latest is, new injectors. The car has always shifted weird, I just assumed it was because of the optional auto/manual. Then it started losing all power and clanking when trying to go up an incline. This morning I was informed the injectors did not fix the problem...I can't help but feel like I was put in a "Lemon"... I just want it fixed so I can go eat the cost of it (resale value sucks!), and get into a reliable vehicle.
