2013 Buick Encore Leather 4dr SUV AWD (1.4L 4cyl Turbo 6A)
After driving 13800 miles, in trips of 1400 to1600 miles per trip, since I purchased this SUV I can honestly say it needs more horse power for the road. Going up hills, and going into headwinds puts a definite strain on this little engine. And the more it strains the less MPG it gets.
I also am concerned with the air intake design beings this car stalled out on me while driving one … crappy winter day in ND. This is not a good situation for a new car to have happen to it and the passengers. Snow/moisture should not get into parts of the engine compartment where it can cause problems.

2013 Buick Encore Leather 4dr SUV AWD (1.4L 4cyl Turbo 6A)
This is one small compact crossover.
We looked at all of them and I mean all!
None of them made us feel the way this little baby Buick did.
Its classy, sharp, upscale and cut all in one.
True its not going to win a race but it is not mean to nor was it made for that.
It has plenty of punch.
We only have 385 miles on it and are getting 27 in the city, not bad for an AWD that take … regular.
Give this vehicle a chance.
Buick has touched upon an important market and we are glad they did.
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.
What can go wrong?

2013 Buick Encore Leather 4dr SUV AWD (1.4L 4cyl Turbo 6A)
Bought used at 106,000 MI. Went well for about 3 weeks. Thermostat started sticking had to change the thermostat. Had a crack in the return to the radiator that was hidden. The coolant level would leak down and it would stop heating. After about 6 weeks it overheated and now I'm having to get the engine rebuilt. The style and features are just what I need. Gas mileage was great while … it was running. I want to keep this car. The mechanic thinks I can expect more problems.
