Good car for the elderly - not for a real driver

This car is the most sensitive junk I've ever owned and I've owned a lot of cars. There are so many little things that can and do go wrong. There is an emissions "evac pump" that has been broken for several months now - the dealership says it's fine to drive it like that but, my auto start doesn't work as a result. If you have to take evasive maneuvers in this car be prepared to pull over and reset everything. The power steering sensor will go off and sometimes the traction control goes off. So, I have to pull over - turn off the car then turn it back on. Also they took my tire jack when I bought the car - said it was a recall - I just called today (2 years later) to see if the jack has come in or if the repair part is there. Nope - I would never in my life buy a GM or Buick vehicle after this experience. Toyota, why did I ever leave or doubt you?!!

Don’t believe the “professional” reviews!

For starters I’ve owned many fast & luxury type cars. Porsche, Amg, BMW, Corvettes, Benz etc. I bought an Encore GX Select, it’s quiet with an excellent ride and surprisingly peppy for its 1.3 turbo. It has a Cadillac style interior similar to the XT6. Honestly Buick did a great job with this car. If you’re looking for something comfortable, amazingly peppy with a smooth and quiet ride definitely buy one! Don’t listen to the “professional” ratings, they’ve gotten it wrong!!

I HATE this vehicle. It rides like a short wheelbased pickup truck. Nothing smooth about it.

Never buy a Buick

2021 Buick Encore GX Preferred 4dr SUV AWD (1.3L 3cyl Turbo 9A)

I bought my Encore GX new in late February 2021. I paid several hundred dollars to put in remote start, because my car lives outside and we have a hard winter. In early May 2023 (so, just over 2 years old) the check engine light went on. I take it in, they need a part. It has been TEN MONTHS. No communication, no apologies—you cannot reach a person at GM HQ. Nothing. I have had three oil changes since. I cannot use my remote start while the check engine light is on. Disgusting. Never buying a Buick again.
