Love the small luxury SUV

I love the small size since I am the primary person in it and gas mileage is great. It's a bit small for my husband who is a large pickup truck owner. And carrying grandkids or a large amount of stuff gets hard to fit. Plenty of engine power and great in the various 4-season road conditions. Only complaint is that the brakes and rotors needed replacing at 37000 miles. They should last longer than that!

Coefficient of Drag (CD) was improved from .37 to .33 which helps MPG, I get about 31 mpg mixed driving and up to about 37 mpg if I stick to about 65 mph on HWY, engine seems smoother, great feeling 6 speed automatic with good ratios, great handling and economy, better looking SUV and they removed the silly "Buick" symbols off the hood, dashboard a little better too with new larger display integrated and not separate with slightly simpler use, this is my forth and best Encore so far. Only complaint is Buick stopped showing Speed Limit signs on Navigation! They were shown from 2013-2016 then stopped, they need to update software to include it again for those having the Navigation. Otherwise it's still one of the very best Sub-Compact SUV's and engineered by Opel of Germany as an Opel Mokka! Still get early 30s mpg on HWY and around 27 city. Nice finish and no complaints.

I've had my Encore for 4 years and 132,000 km. Have not had to do any repairs, other than brakes. Very comfortable and handles well in the snow in winter.
