I purchased a GX Select with the 1.3 and CVT Transmission which I would highly recommend. It phas excellent power and I'm averaging 32 MPG overall. On the highway you'll get 35 MPG. It is quite, rides smooth, handles great and excellent brakes. The three cylinder engine does sound different at low speeds and it is not as smooth a some cars but once you get up to speed its fine.

I like the car over all. The rearview camera is not all that is sort of confusing. Then head up display is very neat. What I think the car needed most without all the packages are sunroof, head up display, electric tailgate lift, and the moonroof .All the other stuff is almost a waste of money.

Fun Little SUV

Fun little suv! Great for running around town or picking up a few items from a big box store. One minor issue-fingerprints quickly mar the plastic on the entertainment center screen.

Encore 2020 and 2021

I study 3 cars and settle for the Encore GX Select loved everything study it for at least 3 days bought it had more specs that what I had read 14 miles. After not even 3 weeks pass the 300 miles engine light came on. After 3 months of back and forth well I told them don't want it; it's a lemon. Once that light is on you lose a lot of features. Had to do all again got the same one 2021 and once again after 300 miles engine light is on, here I go again 3 strikes and it's another lemon. So I do not recommend this car at all. What are the odds of having the same problem. They say the got it this time but after 5 engine light and so many trips to the dealer well I am not gonna think it will be fix and after 10 days light be on again. I just got this 2021 for 2/18/2021 light went on 2/24/2021 still at the dealer being "fix".
