I’ve driven just about every vehicle in the GM lineup and love this vehicle!! Great value for all the tech and features it has. Fun to drive with the peppy engine with the smooth ride buick is known for. The sport touring package also gives the GX some extra pizazz. Love this vehicle!

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".

Picked the car as it could be flat towed behind my motorhome. Is an easy set up. Car is peppy enough in 1.3l engine, I was worried about a 3 cyl, but it's good. Roomy, has lots of features even in base version, was inexpensive with rebates and dealer discount. A bit rough on bumpy roads buy acceptable. It's often the first car to pick to drive, but wish it had power sests and more seat comfort. Avg mileage at about 22.5 around town and 30 hwy. Voice entertainment a bit confusing but use the android auto which is working OK. Great value, love the size, mileage, and it can be towed. Like style a bit better than the chevy version, and you got more for the money. Terrible brakes. Squeal. Had brakes replace w ceramic, solved squeel. Jumps when parking brake is released. Buick does not care about the poor brakes.
