Quiet ride with luxurious comfort and reasonable gas consumption

2013 Buick Encore Premium 4dr SUV (1.4L 4cyl Turbo 6A)

Based on first impressions, the new Encore offers a nice comfortable super-quiet ride. It is is easy to maneuver in traffic and it has a lot of good features. During the test drive, I could get it to merge on the highway without any problems--of course, I did not expect it to glide (say the way an Infinity does). I bought it because of its fuel economy, but it is still fun to drive. It took no time to connect my blue-tooth phone and have music come out beautifully from the Bose speakers. Don't let all the knobs discourage you--the system is actually easy to use! Having moved from an Acura TSX, I like the slightly higher ride while still having a compact size.

Bad purchase!

Tons of issues with sensors and lots of money spent in 4 years on a well maintained car. Small and compact and drove very nicely but always something wrong with it! Never will buy another one!

A petite SUV to love

What I like best about my petite Encore? ( leased) 1a. the smooth, very comfortable and quiet ride, just high enough up to give (petite) me a good view of the road; size of vehicle; 1b. The heated steering wheel, individually heated front seats and auto start; 2. Leather interior in saddle is eye catching and of very good quality- always looks great; 3. Cargo space is convenient for shopping bags/ travel cases, and is larger than it appears to be from the outside; 4. Great running car - no mechanical or technical problems during 3 years of leasing; very reliable and love the way it maneuvers through traffic and in-out of parking spaces.

Would never buy again

The 2013 Buick Encore is truly a beautiful vehicle but it stops there. I was so happy that I purchased a extended warranty. I have had non stop check engine lights come on. I am now on my 4th catalytic converter which of course the warranty doesnt cover. Anything that could leak has! I only have 107000 miles on it at this time. Will never buy a Buick again!

I bought a used Encore

I bought this car on Mother's Day from a Buick dealer here where I live. It is an amazing car all of the instrumentation works well it gets about 33 miles per gallon. I keep reading about it not having to get up and go to pass people and I find that to be untrue. I am so proud to own this car it's beautiful it's reliable it's economical and it looks so cool. it only had 72,000 miles on it and there is not one thing that I can complain about.
