One month old Encore performs beautifully.

Reports of underpowered engine greatly exaggerated. Gets smoothly and quietly to highway speed. Cruises easily and, again, quietly. Interior is comfortable, onstar is terrific. Blue tooth is, however, erratic. Rides like a Buick should. Seats fold flat in including front passenger side. Very nice. Warranty of 4 year/50k bumper to bumper, 6 year/70k drive train, and 2 year service included sealed the deal.

Safety!!!! I feel so safe in this car! Especially in the last and current blizzards in New England! It's almost impossible to lost traction and when you do the car takes over and saves the day ! I also read that someone couldn't fit a rear facing car seat, not true. My daughters fit fine

Altho not made in the USA, at Least an American company. I have not owned an American car that has not been as good as or better than an import. The Encore is a Delight all around. A great comprimise for Room, Luxury, Cost , and MPG. I am 6'2" and have NO problems with Room I do have several Classic cars, and a Corvette and I enjoy driving the the Encore. It has a great feel, and works well on Long trips. I do Love the 30 MPG.

My worst new car EVER

Have owned this car for ~ 30 days and experienced 5 problems. Clunking noise when turning the wheel, wiper fluid wont work when cold (cannot drive a vehicle when i cannot see out the window), car starter doesn't always work, unidentified fluid leaking, and worst of all a person got stuck inside the vehicle! Today it is going back to the dealer for the 3rd time. The dealer has been helpful but i have been unable to get an unscripted person at GM to talk to. I am told they cannot give out that information. I have told every single person i know about this vehicle and i cannot find anyone who would want to keep a car that a person was stuck in. I have been a loyal GM customer for years and am extremely disappointed. I have not even made a payment yet. I don't want to go 60 months paying for a vehicle i am scared to be in. I want a replacement car because this seems is an anomaly based on my prior purchases and other reviews i have read. It is sad that i had to put in a better business bureau complaint against a brand i once loved, and that i have had to resort to negative social media. Shame on you GM!

We are empty nester and have owned our Encore for 6 months. We went from a full size Mercury Marquet (?) to the Encore and have no regrets. The size is great, interior is beautiful and clean looking, the exterior is very smart looking and handle vey good. The heating system is quick and warm. We don't use the Bluetooth, navirgater, or the sierex radio, because we're not computer people. My husband is 6'1" 200 lbs. , I'm 5'6" 160 lbs. an neither of us have a problem getting in or out of the Encore. My husband is also a classic car lover, worked for GM for 30 years, but always drove a Ford. He is very happy with the Encore. We also have a 6 year old grandson who still uses a car seat and he and the car seat fit in the back very well. We have taken friends to dinner and they also sat in the back seat with no problems. I would buy another Encore without a doubt.
