Loved this car and knew it was exactly what I wanted the very first time I saw it. My only regret is that I did not order the AWD and chrome wheels. I love it!! I have since traded my 2014 for a low milage 2015 with AWD and I could not be happier. I just love the Encore. The size is perfect for me, love the performance, the smoooooth ride and the good looks. I recently picked up three friends at the airport. Plenty of room for three gals and all their luggage.

I have enjoyed owning and driving this car overall. The visibility is not that great, but it does have a back up camera and blind spot detection so that helps. For a very small car with a 1.4L engine it is pretty zippy from a stop so that is nice. Never felt like it bogged down like some of these cars can. I have put about 30,000 miles on the car since owning it and have had regular maintenance done ( great systems for reminders built in to car). One day last week my engine went out in rush hour traffic. No warning, no lights, no nothing. It was working one minute and then the next just unable to excelerate and TONS of white smoke. Luckily I was able to pull off as I was in the outer lane and could coast. AAA picked me up and took us to the dealer for repair. Still under warranty so no problem there and everyone was nice, helpful and got me in a rental and on my way quickly. About 3 days later they called me with the news that there is a factory defect in the 3rd piston that caused it to break unexpectedly. They are currently replacing all 4 pistons and SAID that they checked all other parts in the engine and everything else looks fine......I am not convinced as that amount of smoke had to cause some type of damage to the rest of the engine. I won't get my car back for several more days, but now I am terrified to drive it and afraid that they will just draw it out until the warranty runs out. I am not basing this on anything but fear as they have been great so far. Mine is a 2014 model - not basic but also not fully loaded. One of the cutest cars on the road in this class, but now I am afraid of it. Ugh. Update: I no longer own this car. I went through some post tramatic stress after it almost got me killed by dying on the freeway when the pistons blew on the engine. It was a manufacturing defect and they replaced the pistons but not the engine so, I traded it in on a different car. Hopefully it's next owner has better luck with it.

This is a great car but its really small and compact if you are looking for closeness with your passengers then this is the car for you. Has everything in the car you would want but feel like riding in a bubble.

In May 21, 2020 my beautiful 2014 Buick Encore that had under 35,000 miles, was beat to a bloody pulp in a Texas hailstorm that had golf ball to baseball sized hail. The Insurance totaled it out and took it away. The only place that didn’t have deep hail dents was the driver’s side door. I haven’t replaced it and may not since I have free access to handicapped transportation.
