It’s the perfect SUV size. Not too big, but big enough! Handles well and a nice look!

Beautiful and techy

Cheapest vehicle available with the type of technology it offers as additional packages (including 360 view camera and safety features). The shorter wheelbase makes it easier to manuver in the city.

2024 Buick Encore GX Preferred

I wish I negotiated the price down because after having it for a year there has been some annoying things, nothing major so far but for some reason the windshield nozzle sprayers stopped working and they replaced the nozzles and it worked but then stopped working again. They then tried the pump but that didn't solve it, so now they're getting all new hoses for it. Very frustrating to not be able to use that in spring and summer. In winter time when using the front heater it started making a vibration sound and I also hear it sometimes on the door panels and when using the audio system. And one thing I thought was strange and disappointing was when I use the defrost functions I smell a lot of exterior pollution from vehicles etc. even when I have the recirculation button on, I never had that issue with my previous vehicle.
