this is a good car for around town,we really like it .i have allways been a toyota and honda loyalast , but this little buick has all the bells and whistles and it drives and rides just as good and it has the upgrades you just cannot get on the small size toyota or honda. we would reccomend it to people that dont require a lot of space in their car.the only thing that it needs to make it a great little car is a power back lift gate ,it is hard to get down for us.we have driven this car for 38000 miles with no problems.the heated seats and heated steering wheel is a big plus.we have now got 42000 miles on car ,still like the car as much now as i did when i first purchased it although the air conditioner went out on it just recently .buick dealership repaired with no charges,has a 50,000 bumper to bumper warrenty. ,Now have 47000 miles no problems, still like the car as much as ever..ideal car for 1 or 2 people who dont need lots of room.,.average around 28 m.p.g. in town..Another plus its easy for eldrly person to get in and out of. update 6/21/21 we have driven the car 48688 mi no problems ,still like the encore .it does not have a lots of power but it is quick .plenty of power for us.thinking of trading for a new buick encore gx.. well we now have 54000 miles on my encore no problems at all ,still enjoy driving this car.,best value in a car that i have had in my lifetime! 60000 MI HAPPY WITH THIS CAR NO PROBLEMS ! 6/21/23 ,i have 63,000 mi on my encore still drived like a new one no problems ,stll like and enjoy my encore./ 6/26 /24 i have 70000 miles on this encore still no problems still like this car, would like to get a new one .

Pros---Style, comfort, cost, extras available, quality of material used for seats. . Cons--Not enough room for comfortably buckling a back facing car seat in the back seats.. No arm rest on passenger front seat. Not a lot of storage space. When the back seats are flipped up to make a flat cargo space the bottom of the seats are flipped up and takes up space that is behind front seats as storage space. The backup camera is "objects are closer than they appear. This is my first auto with a back up camera and I'm having a hard time trusting the camera to use as a back up method. This may not be a "con" for a person that has used the cameras before this auto.

I have a great cell phone plan with excellent reception coverage and knew before J bought this vehicle that I’d have no desire to pay extra for onstar or Buick WiFi. The free trial period is now expired and the blue tooth connection between my iPhone and the Buick system is no longer available unless I want to pay the monthly fee. However I can still use CarPlay by connecting my iPhone via a USB cable. So long as my iPhone is connected to a USB cord I can use all the CarPlay features. But the remote lock/unlock, remote start, vehicle location on the Buick app are no longer accessible without paying a monthly subscription fee.

Overall I've owned it for about a 1 1/2 years and I'm pretty happy with it. It would be nice if it came with the cargo door having an automatic opening instead of doing it manually though.
