I like the vehicle looks and ride but the 3 cylinder engine takes some getting used to!!! A lot of vibration at slower speeds.

I am coming from a 2.4 liter Equinox, and the Encore GX is much peppier and gets about 5 mpg better. It is very comfortable and quiet. There's a little growl from the engine when you really get on it, but I wouldn't consider it intrusive. It is also roomier than it would seem to be based on the small exterior, but it is a little smaller than the Equinox.

I bought mine in Sept 2020 with some discounts and a trade-in, got it for a great price. I was worried at first, my first time with a compact anything, but so far I like it. I worry about the auto-stop, wondering what will happen if it doesn't crank back up one day, but I am a worrier by nature. I'm getting 32 MPG with mixed city/hwy trips, which is awesome. It has 4000 miles on it and so far, no complaints. I'm not sorry I bought it! Update: I've owned it for nearly a year and have had to have a minor recall and a sensor replaced. Glad that happened during warranty. Since my last review I discovered a way to turn off auto-stop (per trip). It hasn't really effected my gas milage. MY MPG is averaging 32MPG with mixed driving. It handles well at 75 MPH, excellerates fast once it rolling. Fun to drive. I dont have kids so the back seat down and the cargo area is roomy enough. Will carry something 8ft long inside, like a rolled carpet. I've only gotten 6000 miles on it for the first year, hope it stays this good. Not sorry I got it. Update requested by Edmunds; I've had my 2020 Buick Encore GX for about a year and a half, about 9000 miles and it's still an awesome suv.

Went to look at a Chevy equinox and this little beauty caught my wifes eye. We test drove it and my wife was in love, she did not even want to test drive the Equinox. Love all the features and the peppy little 1.3 was quite a surprise. This is my wifes first brand new car and she says she will drive it till it dies. Im 6'4 and it is surprisingly comfortable for me. The AWD did amazing in the Colorado snow this winter.

I had my car for 2 weeks and the brakes and power steering went. Towed to dealer. It is the master cylinder. They are on back order and I have had a rental going on 3 weeks.
