Zippy SUV
Overall, my 2020 Encore GX Essence is an excellent vehicle for driving around town. At age 77, it's easy to get in and out of, easy to park and great on gas. My only problem is that there is a vibration at low speeds and low RPMs. I would have given a 5 star rating if it wasn't for the vibrations. I had it back to the dealership and they reduced the vibration by 80% with upgraded parts, but there is still a vibration...

Encore GX beats the Chevy Trax.
In its December review Motor Trend testers generally gave the GX favorable remarks but knocked the 3 cylinder engine. I upgraded from a 2017 Chevy Trax to an AWD GX and I have found the three cylinder motor to be a significant improvement in "get up and go" over the 4 cylinder found in the Trax. I have no complaints on power availability and I am quite pleased with my purchase.
I'm interested.......
When Buick sent me its first e-mall announcing the Encore GX, I didn't like it at first. I thought it looked too much like other SUVs. It wasn't different, like my 2015 Encore. Several weeks later, I received another Encore GX e-mail. This time, I really liked it. We test-drove an Encore GX Essence this week. It felt very solid. Steering was easy, like a traditional Buick. I was concentrating more on the driving the vehicle and hadn't figured out how to quiet the radio, but it seemed quiet, just like a traditional Buick. A quiet car has become important to me. I couldn't determine if the transmission shifts unnoticeably because, according to the HUD on this Encore GX, it hadn't shifted past second gear - the trans has nine speeds. Finally, for some people, using the technology onboard the Encore GX might be a learning experience. I would consider purchasing an Encore GX.
