Nearly Perfect Small Crossover

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

My wife and I tested quite a few crossovers before settling on the Buick Encore GX. Here is how I would order them based on my personal preferences: 1) Buick Encore GX 2) Chevy Trailblazer 3) Ford Escape 4) Ford Edge 5) Toyota RAV4 (big surprise because it’s the best-selling crossover in Canada) 6) GMC Terrain 7) Jeep Cherokee (dead last, this car was super sluggish and didn’t feel agile at all) My wife and I knew immediately after driving the Encore GX and Trailblazer that we were going to choose one of them. We might have contemplated the Ford Escape if it were a bit cheaper, mainly because it has the horsepower we’re used too, but it was slightly out of our budget (because we didn’t like the bottom trim). The biggest drawback of the Encore GX: Not enough horsepower when you’re on the highway. For city driving the torque is more than sufficient. The Encore GX is comfortable and fun to drive, it looks classy yet sporty, and is a perfect size for a couple living in the city.

Buick unresponsive to 2021 Encore GX Issue

We have owned this vehicle for 12 weeks and have not had the use of it for 3 weeks, going into the 4th. The car is at the dealership for the 4th time on the same issue. This time the dealership found a pinhole leak in the exhaust system which caused an other part to fail 3 times but Buick does not have any parts to fix the issue and they are not responding to the dealership. I would have thought Buick would have been stockpiling parts to fix this issue since we are 8 months into 2021. Since we purchased the vehicle we have not had the use of it 25%, going on 33% of the time.

2021 Buick Encore GX Preferred 4dr SUV (1.2L 3cyl Turbo CVT)

Really liking our new Encore GX, Preferred, 1.2 FWD. Have had it about a month and have about 2,000 miles on it so far... lots of metro area driving and one road trip. I'm very satisfied with the quiet and comfort of the car. The smooth acceleration of the 1.2L and CVT is pleasing and unobtrusive. Its just the right height to ease entry for my 88 year old mother in law. The price (with incentives) makes this Buick Encore GX a real value! MSRP was $26,145 for my Preferred trim plus the Cold Weather package (Heated, power seats, remote start) and with all the discounts at the time, my final price was $19,240. So, shop around; don't just compare msrp for the cars you are considering. Ease of purchase at my particular dealer was top drawer, too. Recommend! 17,500 mile update: all continues well. I’m very satisfied with MPG, getting 30-32 every tank. We haven’t had much snow yet the winter (Minnesota) but it’s been handling well thus far. (Little thing, Big Plus over the regular Encore: you can lift the wiper blades up so they stick out while you scrape the windshield…can’t do that with the old Encore). I am also happy with the heating system (mine is the basic, manual) it’s almost set and forget, and quiet! Still happy. Still would recommend. 32,000 mile update… steady as she goes! No complaints. Still solid, no rattles. MPG continues 30-32/tank. I like the two-tiered floor in the trunk. You can take off the cargo cover and put under the floor when carrying items taller than the cover, like my mother in law's walker. Very happy with this purchase. 45,000 update... Still happy. No problems to report. MPG holding a 30-32. Its been handling this recent 2023 Minneapolis snow storm as well as can be expected for a FWD car. Glad it has a higher ground clearance than a regular sedan! Heated seats and remote start are good friends!

The turbo 1.3 power is surprising. Feature rich interior. Looks great and feels good on the road.

Vibration noise

Good overall car. Bought our Buick Encore GX in April, 2022. It has recently started making a vibration type noise which appears to be coming from the dash area. Has anyone else had this problem?
