Great small SUV
Great small SUV. My GX has ALL the latest high tec. options. Only 4800 miles at thi point. Love the heads up display and all the other features.. Ride could be a little more soft. Gets very good MPG:. 32 mpg.. Only fault I have found is that the car seems to drift. Buick could have put a better line of tires on the car. My wife loves this car also!

Encore! Encore!!!
As with my previous Encore, I especially appreciate the back support system and the great handling and sharp turns this car offers. I am able to switch from all wheel drive to two wheel drive - the savings in gas mileage is noticeable. This car has great pick-up, smooth riding and comfortable. A pleasure to drive. I like the solid sound when closing the door. Also the push button start and off. The automatic open and close of the trunk - great convenience. So many luxurious features for a subcompact SUV. Not surprised being a Buick. I used to be a Park Ave. person ~ now am an Encore fan. I’ve only had the car for a week and so far have not found anything I don’t like. Am continually pleasantly surprised by its very many, very nice features.

Better than expected.
Got my AWD. 1.3 liter for 15 months and drove 14000 km so far surprisingly the engine has a good power because of the 9 speed transmission. Cons: noisy engine when you push it, front seat cushions are uncomfortable on a long drive, cold air comes to my face when putting heater at half heating when driving (probably need trap adjusted) and looking closer to my instrumentation I noticed the gear shift indicator is dark red and invisible on daytime. I rate this model higher than the competition. I knew it’s build in South Korea. But didn’t know it’s at Daewoo assembly plant.

Lemon or crap luck
The car looks really nice! We were excited to get something this nice at 21 years old, but our excitement died off. We have a 2021 Encore GC 1.3t AWD. We are the second owners after buying the car with a clean Carfax record. We had an oil leak come up 6 months after owning it. The Buick dealership replaced what they thought was a leaking/warped oil pan THREE times. Flash forward to now, the car has been in the shop 6 time in 4 months, for upwards up 8 weeks to tear down and reseal the whole engine from top to bottom. The dealership claimed to have help from a GM engineer, but that didn’t seem to make a difference. I’ve had the car for four days, and I’m returning it back to the shop for rattling, grinding, and whining noises today. At this point, we’d love it if GM would buy the car back so we could go back to our not-so luxurious cars. The only good thing is that everything is under warranty, but we just wish we wouldn’t be paying for our car to sit in the shop.
