As a 3 time Honda owner, I was skeptical to even look at Buick?? SO GLAD I did! This SUV is AMAZING! Very underrated! Test drove it and didn't look back. Feels like a $40,000 vehicle. Wow!! Just Wow!!! Two thumbs up!

My previous car was a 2008 Chevy Impala. While I do miss the larger engine and trunk size of my prior vehicle, this little SUV is great! I am considered obese and find this SUV to be comfortable. I wish the seats were a couple of inches wider, but the power adjustability of the driver's seat makes it comfortable; more than enough leg room and head room. Leg room in the back seat was surprisingly good. I LOVE the maneuverability of this vehicle while driving. I've never had such a vehicle that turns on a dime. The highway ride is phenomenal; totally smooth and quiet. This is the quietest vehicle I've owned while driving down the highway. The trim model I selected (Preferred) doesn't have superior stereo quality (Bose) and I wish it did. Otherwise I didn't find the Essence trim level to be worth the upgrades (price). The backup camera works great and is the first one I've ever owned and takes a little getting used to. Since the vehicle is new I can't speak to maintenance or reliability thus far. Bluetooth and Apple Music works great. Haven't tried the Android music link. The fan on highest setting for climate control is a bit noisy and makes the stereo difficult to hear. The USB /Accessory port is difficult to access and I have to stand on my head to access. My biggest complaint is the armrest / console area; I would like the armrest to be longer and a bit wider. The cup holders are RIDICULOUSLY SMALL. I can barely fit a standard water bottle in the cup holder. The lack of an armrest for the passenger is irritating on long trips. The drawer under the passenger seat was a nice addition.

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.

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.

I’m a first time Buick owner as I searched for a low cost, efficient model to aide me in abilities to help my aging parent as he struggled to get in and out of my truck. This model made it easy for him to get in and out and also provided lots of room. It also provides great fuel economy so I can go visit my grandchildren that live 4 hours away even more since I’m semi-retired. Love the look and ease of driving. Extremely happy with my new car!
