I have to use Apple to navigate. I’ve been used to built in navigation system, so the Encore is a bit disappointing. However, I am getting used to the limited technology after one year.

I wanted something cheap, Fuel efficient, Reliable, Comfortable, stylish With a nice stereo.. I bought my Buick encore With out Doing much research , but I'm happy with the choice.. The low price sold me with the rebates it was under $19,000 for a new vehicle with all wheel drive. You can fit 3 large adults inside comfortably. I easily average over 35 miles per gallon How many times over 40, Butt I feel that you always have to run 93 octane Or else you may experience Or else you may experience sluggish performance.. For hard acceleration The encore Doesn't really hit it's power Until over 3,000 RPM but it does have More than adequate performance.. It is easily the quietest smoothest vehicle I've owned And the base stereo I'm very satisfied with. So far after 10,000 miles Everything has been flawless. Sure There are Better vehicles out there, But for the money The encore can't be beat..

I recently bought a 2018 Buick Encore and couldn't be more please. The car is loaded with upscale features, but the best is the smooth ride and lack of road noise. On the highway I can't imagine a better car. Smooth and quiet.

I love how the Buick Encore looks and I like how it feels when I am driving it. That is why I had to get another one!
