You will be surprised by spaciouness in side. My 6' husband slides in with ease. Comfortable traveling for passenger and driver. I've had back surgery and like sliding into a chair when i get into car. My 2nd encore and wasn' t unhappy with the first. Only had such amazing deals for end of year 2016, that i traded up from a 2014 to a new premier 2016. I love this car. I call it my "whip about". Most of the time my seats down cause I am an antiquer and hauler of most anything. Just enough luxury mixed with simplicity with fun. I can't say anything bad. I've had many cars and this is my all time fave! So this ain' t the encore, but the 2nd act. I am sure will be a fan and purchasing for a lonoooong time.

I traded in my Infiniti QX70 for the Encore and love my new car! It's roomy, easier to get in/out of, and has better fuel economy.

About two months ago I went to our Buick dealer to look and drive the 2016 Encore Sport Touring. I ended up buying one from a great salesman, Buzz Edwards. I brought it home and my wife took it away from me. So I go back and bought one for her. Both of us really like the Encore. The quality is great, it is very quiet and smooth (which is very unusual for a small SUV) and with the larger engine it has plenty of get up and go. Everett Buick in Bentonville and Buzz Edwards are great.

Overheating Engine – NEW car - Only 2000 miles

After only 2000 miles an overheating engine light appeared on the dashboard. Far from what I hoped to be. The only answer from customer support is "The car is under warranty. This may happen to any car". I would like to receive my money back or at least a new car. I bought a new car to have a new car experience, not a refurbished one. Even after the repair will be finalized (has been already 2 weeks. The dealer appears to wait for some more parts), I will drive with stress and anxiety, afraid for my family safety. Such an ordeal and disappointment.

Did I get a different Buick?

I almost think I got a different model or maybe I missing something. Before my car was delivered I read other things online that made me concerned: Concern 1: no passenger armrest. One of the first things my fiancé said to me (as I was driving/she was passenger), was “I really like this soft arm rest.” Now again, I may have misunderstood other comments, so I’m not saying those ppl are wrong. But there’s definitely a shared armrest that folds down from between the front two seats, and I thought it was pretty nice. Concern 2: lack of power/weak engine performance. My previous cars were a 4 cylinder Jeep and 4 cylinder Hyundai. So obviously I’m not coming in with a strong background in high performance autos lol. That said I don’t notice any difference. My Buick seems to have just as much get up as other cars I’ve had, but considering the other cars, I’m not the best person to ask. I thought the power was just fine. I’m surprised that this is considered a luxury car. There is slightly more attention to detail but I barely notice. To me the materials are pretty much the same, maybe one notch up, from my fiancé’s base trim Honda and my friends mid trim Chevy. My mother has a top level trim Chevy and my boss has some fancy big BMW. I can tell a difference with those. What I love about my car is the way it looks. Sort of cartoonish from the front because of the big headlight covers. That look isn’t for everyone of course but I like it. I think the seats are really comfortable, it’s a great size, and I think it maximizes interior space.
