Not too big, not too small. Good gas mileage but not great. Adequate performance but but strains when pushed hard. More than basic but not too fancy. Better than average reliability. In other words, the Encore has turned out to be a good -- and affordable -- compromise. In its class, it excels only in that it is blissfully quiet at highway cruising (the active noise cancellation really works). But it will growl when you floor it. We scored ours in 2019 with only 21k miles for a hair over $16,000. Overall, as happy as was Goldilocks with her porridge. One year update: An annoying steering clunk fixed under warranty. No other problems. This was a downsize for better fuel economy when our son took our 2006 CR-V, but so far -- hauling everything from furniture to landscaping gravel -- no time when we couldn't haul something that would have fit the CR-V.

With turbo it has enough git up go for us. It is easier for my wife to get in the car. Took a 250 mile trip and got around 32 miles to gallon at about average speed 0f 80 miles per hour. Started to use ethnol free gas and have pickup performance and 4 miles per gallon around town.

I bought a 2017 Buick Encore, at 45,000 miles I began to experience spontaneous stalling of the engine. The car would not jump. After getting it towed to a shop THREE times, the engine miraculously started, each time may i add!!!! No one could find the problem. Hope they figured it out in the newer models. Buick has lost me as a costumer and I discourage everyone from purchasing one. Horrible car. Absolutely do not buy!!
