when the brakes get wet they seem to make a clunk noise. the 7 inch dashbrd screen goes black often so I cant use the the back up camara or radio controls. i have taken it to the dealer twice but neither issue has been solved. very disappointed with the dealer, John Paul Buick in Greenfield WI.

The Encore is an ideal car for someone who ants more carrying space than a car, but not the 14MPG of a big SUV. The interior is really well appointed for the class that it is in. The engine is small but more than adequete for this speed limit driver. Acceleration speed is good, though the RPMs go a little high with foot onthe floor. But for me that situation doesn't come up much. It's comfortable, easy to park, and has lots of features that son't expect for a car in the $20Ks. It's quite cute, and people are generally surprised that it's a Buick. It's made in the US in a UAW plant which matters to me. Update: I just submitted a review of this car and made an error in it. I said that the car is made in the US and it is not. It is made in South Korea. Otherwise the review was an honest assessment, but I want to be cognizant of people (like me) to try to buy US made products

There is no in car garage door opener, so you have to carry one. Infotainment GPS too confusing with way, way too many options and menus to try and remember how to use. Over 36 teeny tiny icons to try and see to mark your map, how many does a person need? Just looking for one with a red plus for doctors office, a small house, a tree, a gas pump, so many useless ones. No remote for the rear hatch when you hands are full, why did they do away with that? No grab handle on the passenger front column to take a hold of when getting in and out, just a stupid little handle over your head. Who reaches over their head to get in or out? Also gone is the grab handle from the passenger door to take a hold of to close door. We went from a beautiful Enclave to a smaller Buick. Didn't need the big size any more. Hoping that it was basically the same, just smaller. Not so and there's more road noise. Just wish they had looked at the Enclave and kept all the good features.

I leased a Buick Encore about a month ago, and have total buyers / leasers remorse. The pickup on it is not good and you can feel it shift in the lower gears. Once it gets going it is great and is very smooth, but again NO pickup. I should have read the reviews first, but saw a lease deal through costco and went for it. Luckily its only a 2 year lease. We recently also purchased a Honda CR-V and you can't even compare the two. Needless to say we drive the CR-V as much as possible.

Nothing but problems over the last year

2015 Buick Encore with leather and navigation is only 5 years old with less than 70K miles and had given me nothing but problems over the last year. I was originally introduced to the Encore when I got it as a rental when my previous car was in the shop and I loved it! It was a good little car for the first few years with fair gas mileage, a nice design, and a smooth ride. Definitely a tight fit for several adults and the sound system is seriously lacking but other than that no complaints. However, during the last year it has been in the shop on multiple occasions. First the oil handler went and cost ~$800 to diagnose and repair. Most recently the engine over heated with my two little ones in the car which forced a ‘power saver’ feature to kick on and the power steering went out. Currently waiting on a call back from the dealership since the car won’t stay on now even after jumping (shuts off as soon as the cables are removed). I definitely expected more from a 5 year old Buick with less than 70K miles!
