I was looking for something similar in size to replace my 2003 Toyota Rav4. The 2019 Buick Encore matched in size, but is different in many ways, however, I've had it 2 years now and enjoy driving it. The seats are comfortable and the drivers seat sits high, for good visibility. It's easy to drive and park and gets good gas mileage.

My friend got one a few years ago and I took a 2 hour drive in the back seat (I'm 5'8) and was surprisingly comfortable. The ride was smooth and quiet. I got tired of driving my big SUV around town so I purchased this vehicle 3 weeks ago. I find it very fun to drive. True, the cargo area is small but big enough for a week's worth of groceries. I'm in animal rescue so I do need a bit of space. When I fold the seats down, I have plenty of room. Even the passenger front seat folds flat if I'm driving solo. I bought the Essence model and love all the bells & whistles. I find it very comfortable and easy to zip in and out traffic and tight parking spots. Great sound system too. So far I love this car!

After 3 years and 33,000 miles i still like the encore. on my 50mph backroad commute i can get 33-39 mpg consistent and have even got up to 43 a few times. Now on the interstate doing over 65 you're only going to get the rated 30-33 mpg due to wind drag.. The turbo 4 gets peak torque at 1800 so it pulls hills nicely. Gm has been making this powertrain since 2011 so its one of their most reliable, i was running 93 octane as this motor runs so much better on it.. estimate is you get 10% more power on premium fuel.. now with 93 Being so expensive i run 87 with Lucas octane booster and its almost as good. as a 6 ft 300# man the comfort is adequate but not spectacular.. i have the seats aligned to fit 3 people my sized comfortably, a child could still ride behind the driver. The front folding seat and roof rails are great for packing large items.. i love the base stereo, it sounds great with its subwoofer and has just enough power to sound decent with the windows open too, and the suspension handles our pothole ridden roads very nicely.. encore is very quiet and even under heavy throttle there is little noise or vibration.. its very smooth and really kicks in power nicely over 3,000 rpm.. i love the 6 speed and manual mode when crusing, encore has just enough power to climb mountains in 5th at 60 mph at about 2600 rpm. Absolutely no problems with the so far. it is a narrow car which is great for maneuvering through traffic in tight areas but also causes it to be a high roll over risk car, so its not going to handle like a sedan but it can handle turns 10 mph over the posted speed fine. I really don't think you will find another suv that can beat the mpg’s of this unless its a hybrid and i think hybrids are possibly over rated on mgp’s.

Great sub compact car, decent gas mileage, luxury feeling interior, reliable quality. I used to own VW Tiguan, it is junk. Will never buy another VW, from now on Buick is the one I am going to drive!
