Used 2018 Buick Encore 1SV 4dr SUV (1.4L 4cyl Turbo 6A) Consumer Reviews
My Buick Encore
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.

One Thousand Miles on a Rental Encore
Overall, I found this small SUV quite good for a California vacation as it was large enough for luggage and fit easily in the small parking spaces for which southern California is notorious. However, there was one glaring problem: the drivers side and center rear seat belts were partially missing. We thought the missing parts were simply down beneath the seats, but extensive efforts to find them were fruitless. We reported the problem to the rental car company when we returned it. The car had only 700 miles on it when we rented it and was otherwise was fine, except the rear doors sometimes required a second hard slam to close them. Beyond the apparent careless construction, the vehicle was just fine. It was rather noisy on the highways, but that is likely due to the rough concrete highways in southern California. The seats were comfortable and the controls relatively intuitive. Parking, as expected with such a small vehicle was easy. The engine had to work hard to get the car up to highway speed, but it was adequate. The car was equipped with Apple CarPlay, which worked well with my phone except for seemingly randomly altering the volume. Overall, the Encore offers a lot for the price, which appears to top out in the low thirties fully equipped. There were several Encores on the rental car company lot, so it is likely that the car sells at a significant discount over sticker price. We averaged 30.5 mpg over about 1,050 miles of mixed driving if the computer in the car is accurate.

Quiet and smooth
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.
