Small however I'm 6'3 and it still has plenty of room for me to drive it being comfortable. I have the highest trim level on my car and it was definitely worth paying more for it.. It's definitely a great looking small size SUV Buick definitely never disappoints. Great on gas I can go 3 weeks on a full tank.!! I bought it new and now it's just over a year old and I can see this SUV lasting for a long time. It might be small however it's a solid and most definitely a reliable vehicle.. Has had only one recall and that was for the emergency jack nothing mechanical.!! Runs great, drivers great and again it's awesome on gas... I would definitely recommend this vehicle to anyone looking to buy a great vehicle..............!!

Just bought for my wife

We bought this for a nice work/good car for my wife. We love it, got the red accents on black looks really sharp. And as far as the interior or power being an issue. I drive a 2012 raptor and she switched from a Yukon. It's as nice as interior in truck and way "quicker" than the Yukon. As I said we love it. Light beige interior is still a question although it looks like a nice purse..

I've had it for 8 day and it broke down, literally sitting in a parking lot waiting to be towed! ECS SYSTEM not working, no power steering, and no breaks!

Great first car

The Encore GX was my first vehicle purchase. The tech (Apple CarPlay) is amazing for listening to music and navigation. The big screen with carplay and backup camera is very sleek and stylish. Put about 1000 miles on her and she drives like a charm. At 23 years old, I never thought I’d buy a Buick! This car is sleek and sporty. Looks like a luxury car. Only downfall is the auto stop which can get a little annoying. Could speed up a little quicker too. Overall, great safety features and smooth drive.

has adequate power and love the safety features Dislike the infotainment screen can't see it in the bright sunlight, also the trim around it is chrome which blinds you while you are driving while the sun hits it
