I've had it for 8 day and it broke down, literally sitting in a parking lot waiting to be towed! ECS SYSTEM not working, no power steering, and no breaks!

The Encore GX was my first vehicle purchase. The tech (Apple CarPlay) is amazing for listening to music and navigation. The big screen with carplay and backup camera is very sleek and stylish. Put about 1000 miles on her and she drives like a charm. At 23 years old, I never thought I’d buy a Buick! This car is sleek and sporty. Looks like a luxury car. Only downfall is the auto stop which can get a little annoying. Could speed up a little quicker too. Overall, great safety features and smooth drive.

has adequate power and love the safety features Dislike the infotainment screen can't see it in the bright sunlight, also the trim around it is chrome which blinds you while you are driving while the sun hits it

My Encore GX Select with the CVT actually has the 1.3L turbo (not 1.2). As far as power goes, the 1.3 does a great job with the CVT at delivering the power needed to get around town. I also have no issues whatsoever with getting on the highway or passing cars. With this engine/transmission combo, sometimes half throttle is all you need (around 4k RPM) to merge or pass. The CVT is a newer, chain-driven design and not one of those god-awful Jatco CVTs. Don't let the fact that the FWD GXs have CVTs scare you. Steering and handling is good. The safety tech works acceptably well. Mine has the ST Appearance Package. I wish Buick would have called it something else since I think Ford when I see ST badging on a car. Regardless, the package makes the car look sportier and stylish, especially with my car's black paint. The interior is a step above mainstream subcompact crossovers. To me, it felt very inviting. While the front seats are smaller than average, my power driver seat offers plenty of adjustment. The backseats are decent, too. I though it was neat that below the front seats, the floor drops off a little bit, offering a little more foot room to any rear passengers. While this car can get pricey in the upper trims, which I've seen auto reviewers gripe about, getting a mid-trim Select with a few added options can keep the price below $30k. My added options were the ST package, 1.3L engine, Black paint (GM charges for any paint other than Summit White), and the rear power liftgate. If you don't need all the bells and whistles, this is a happy medium. To close, this is actually my second 21 Encore GX. I had originally bought one previously, but with getting a wild hair, I traded it for a 21 Subaru Crosstrek 2.0 Premium. When driving to the dealership to pick it up, I started having misgivings about going through with it, but I forced myself to go along. Eventually, after buying it and having it for a few months, I ended up with buyer's remorse. It wasn't a bad car, but I couldn't fall in love with the Subie. I ended up trading the Crosstrek in for a used 21 GX like the one I had previously except my current one is now Black instead of blue. When I drove away from the dealership that night in the GX, I had a smile on my face and was very happy knowing I made the right decision. If you still think the GX is a bit expensive but still interesting, then you can always consider its cousin, the Chevy Trailblazer.
