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.

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!

Driver Information Center (DIC) visibility in bright sunlight is TERRIBLE, nearly invisible (safety issue) but, there is no problem at night. My Buick dealer told me there is nothing that can be done to correct the problem. Adjusting the DIC panel lighting is ineffective. The only solution is a different automobile for an ADDITIONAL $20-25,000 - (ie: a GMC Terrain) so buyer beware. I am using my "old " Garmin GPS to monitor ground speed but the DIC is virtually useless. I test drove the Encore on a cloudy day, big mistake. I still have the same opinion today that I did 7 months ago. Had I realized the problems back in March I would NEVER have purchased the car. I'm just stuck with it.

Really like my 2015 Encore

Purchased a used 2015 Buick Encore Leather with 48,000 miles April 2021. I like everything about it. Yes it’s compact but has roomy front seats. My 6’4” husband has plenty of leg & head room. Back seat leg room is tight but not overly important as I rarely have back seat passengers. I find the acceleration decent. It maneuvers quite well and is a smooth and quite ride. I did have to spend $700 a few months after purchase and under 2000 miles driven. Car started misfiring in a big way. Spark plugs were fouled, transmission fluid, needed changing, and another part replaced. It’s been running like a top since then. Overall I’m very pleased.
