It fits me. Wife likes it as much as I do too. I had a Verano before this, and there is no comparison. The Verano was not easy for me to get in and out of, as it was just too low., but this Encore is so easy for me to get in and out of. There isn’t much to complain about, because it simply has everything I want and need. We leased this one, and I am already thinking of keeping it in the end!

The Sport Touring Model Is Sporty

Leased a 2019 Encore Sport Touring FWD. The suv had most of the features important to my wife and me - power driver's seat , navigation, 18" wheels, (we live in a potential flood zone), good safety rating, one button start and reasonable price. The turbo engine has lots of pep, and the cabin noise level is very quiet, as advertised. We downsized from a Nissan Rouge, so the cargo area is greatly reduced. The visibility is excellent, as is the rear view camera an warning system. Gas mileage has been 27 mpg in town and 30 on the highway. The quality of the interior is excellent; better than the Nissan. If I have a complaint, it is only that the Encore did not come with more advanced safety features like collision avoidance. So far the suv has not had any problems requiring a visit to the dealer. No squeaks or evidence of poor workmanship at the factory. FYI, the Encore is made in Korea. Overall, we are very pleased with the Encore.

Awesome for a grandma

I am a young grandma and empty nester. I wanted something fun and yet safe, but not too sporty for grandma. I saw this at the sales lot and my husband and I both said WOW, this was me. I love my little suv, it gives me luxury and fun, I can haul my groceries, my dog or we can go on a weekender in this sporty little suv. I would never thought I would drive a Buick, when I tell everyone I bought a Buick there first thought is a huge old person car, but when they see my cute, little SUV they are shocked that it’s a Buick. I love the look on their faces. I got everyone wanted.

Absolutely love my encore

I always liked Buick but never thought I would own a Buick due to price. I was wrong, the price was extremely comparable with others. I have a bad back so getting in and out of a vehicle with ease is what I needed and the encore is perfect. Some vehicles you get down into and it's hard to get out. The encore you just slide in and slide out. Love the gas mileage too. The ease of parking is nice. It's a cute car. Very happy with my purchase.

My choice after 14 months of driving new cars

I was moving from a four-door sedan to a first time for me compact SUV. I wanted a new car for a reasonable price (under $19,000 w $4,000 manufacturer's incentive, summer 2019). Check. I wanted good gas mileage. Check. I wanted a power driver's seat. Check. I wanted styled wheels instead of wheel covers. Check. I wanted a car that was driver-friendly concerning steering feel, brakes, ride. Check. I love the leather steering wheel, the ease of setting cruise control, the Sirius XM subscription I pay for makes time in the car enjoyable, and all the side and back windows are uv reducing and the hatch and back seat windows are tinted very dark. Love it! The blue tooth with my phone makes taking and receiving phone calls hands free and easy. The car is surprisingly quiet for a four cylinder. The driver's seat is comfortable and has a lumbar adjustment. The glove box is a good size. With the rear seats down, I have been able to put in what I have needed to bring home. The engine air filter and cabin air filter are a breeze to change - not so the last two cars I owned. Gas mileage in town is 27 mpg plus or minus 1, on the highway 34 mpg. The ground clearance is reassuring when driving in heavy rain. The front windshield defrost vents and air flow are perfect. The only negative I have found in fifty-two months and 33,000 miles is there are a few moving speed/transmission combinations where if you call for power in a hurry it takes one to two seconds to arrive (turbo lag). Generally speaking it has plenty of power to zip around town or drive on the interstate. I love this car more than any I have driven in the last fifty-five years (except maybe the '65 'Stang :-). Only repair has been a leaking ac condenser at 49 months.
