To many issues and now at 55k miles needs a full trans replacement. Friend has an encore also and has constant issues. Unfortunately GM doesn't build reliable cars anymore. Will avoid GM products at all cost. Honda here we come.

The little SUV that tried too hard

Take a good look at the cars that you have been admiring on the road and note that it is their body design that makes them appealing. The basic design of the Encore is overshadowed by a ton of unnecessary glam. An overpowering front grill and a lot of randomly placed chrome has basically turned the car into a distasteful quinceanera dress. And don't even consider having a front seat passenger that weighs more that 150 pounds as they will not fit in the seat. Think long and hard before buying a car and then go and purchase one that you will get compliments on. The Buick Encore won't do that for you.

Finally caused me to wreck 2000 damage on hood. Traded it for a 2016 subaru that does not have that feature. Paid 10,000 more but love the suv. Gets 30 mpg too without that feature .
