So far I love my Encore, it's the perfect size, attractive and plenty of power in the city. I am not experiencing the in town mileage most are posting on here (23.5 mpg) but giving it a little break in time. No complaints so far, although I am experiencing the same thumping noise in the front end another review on here mentions, and eventually gave the car back to GM ? I highly recommend the Encore, and I get a ton of compliments on it.

Car is beautiful, well appointed, easy to drive. The technology is a bit hard to get used to. (too many buttons and gadgets to learn) Navigation system not user friendly. No touch screen. The 2013 Premium does not come with blind spot monitoring as seen on many sites. It has a small mirror located on the mirror that is the blind spot monitoring. Lane detection works very well.

The engine is too small and under-powered for this car. It's a solid,quiet,comfortable car that has a hard time getting out of it's way. It must be a common complaint as Buick is adding about 20 hp to the same engine.

I have owned my Encore for awhile now. Recall city on this car. I get it There are bugs to get fixed but it takes the cake that the last recall was a letter not a recall. If I had my car quits on me then I was to let them know by mail. Yikes!! I have had little things go on with my car but what bugs me the most is the dealers here in Colorado just sock it to you when they don't even know how to fix the problem. I've had better luck with outside car repair places. My Buick is doing ok Do I love it ?-no Will I buy another ?-no When I find the car that will get me from point a to b without issues then this car goes up for sale
