Great little SUV

This is a great little SUV. We were looking for a vehicle that could be serviced locally for us so we traded in our vehicle which was a Subaru Outback. We do lots of research on vehicles before purchasing including checking out IIHS safety ratings and the NHTSA, Motorweek, Car & Driver and of course, Edmunds. We were pleased with most of what we saw about the 2023 Encore and made our purchase. We’ve owned the car almost a month and so far, we are pleased. The Essence model we bought is very well appointed with leather seats, sunroof and power lift gate. The cabin is quiet and we have had no issues with acceleration. This vehicle even seems to have better acceleration - even on the highway - than our Outback did. The seats could be a bit more cushioned which would probably make them more comfortable but they also aren’t the worst we’ve ever sat on. The A/C was quick to cool the car down and we hope the heat works equally as well this winter. A couple of things I think could have been designed better - the placement of the steering wheel controls and the Driver’s Information Center. It could just be operator error with my navigating the Driver Information Center but I don’t find it as user-friendly as it probably could be. The steering wheel audio controls, although not horrible, could have probably been better. We are pretty well pleased with our little Buick and are not regretting our purchase thus far.

Love my Buick Encore GX

Based on the size of the Encore GX and the smooth riding, I couldn't ask for a better SUV. Once I pulled out of the dealership and drove for a few miles, I felt like I made the right choice. I also have to add that it is a sharp looking SUV.
Great mountain climber

I got caught on icy roads last night in the mountains and it was great. I love being able to put it in 4x4 without stopping like I have to with my Ram 4x4.of course 12 mph in my Buick and then back up to 35. It climbs the hills with no problem. The guy ahead of me was all over the road. I live over 9000 feet for the last 54 years and I have had all kinds of 4x4's and I love my new Buick GX.

I miss my regal. Worse vehicle in years

I have owned my 2023 Encore for just over a year. Price is good, but lacks power and i hate the transmission with a passion. When climbing hills it feels like the CVT transmission is slipping and you can see the RPM's jump up and down. Mechanic says it's fine when he drove it around town. Happens from 55 mph- 85 mph when in hills. Climate control is crap in auto. Normally we can set our other vehicles at 72 and it moderates it nicely. This encore you can set at 72 and it may be hot, or it may be cold. When it's cold, it's ice cold to the point you have to turn it to 78 or 79 to get it out of the artic zone, but then it stays in heat mode and you have to move it back to 70 to get any cooling again for a never ending roller coaster. Miss my 2018 Regal and this is the worst vehicle purchase I've had in 25 years.
