My last two vehicles were larger SUV, and while I will miss the cargo space, the ease in commuting traffic, and the gas savings outweigh the smaller cargo space. I have only had my Encore a short while, but I already love the ease of parking, and the space it frees up in my garage.....and the savings at the pump!

The lease on our 2016 Buick Cascada was up and we need to find a replacement. Although we enjoyed the Cascada very much at 73 years of age it was difficult for me to enter and exit. We settled on a 2019 Buick Encore and are very happy with it. For my wife and I it is the perfect vehicle. Very quite and comfortable. It is a pleasure to drive, very responsive, good fuel economy, roomy and great cargo capacity. Best of all it is very affordable, you get a lot of bang for your buck!

Amazingly smooth and quiet, plus comfortable seats

Actually rides smoother and more quietly than my 2018 Camry. And its seats are much softer and more comfortable. The 4 cyl engine is barely audible most of the time. Road noise well hushed too due to thick under carpet insulation the Camry doesn't have. Transmission shifts with buttery smoothness. Front seating feels spacious despite the vehicles small size. I cannot think of much negative to say except climate control labels could be bigger for better legibility.

Love the Apple Car play and safety features. This car eats up freeway miles with lots of comfort but not good gas mileage and not enough power. Had to replace air compressor at 40,000 miles NOT under warranty. Turbo Charger went out at 50,000. Check engine light is on now with slow loss of EVAP system. Not happy with GM warranty nor the dealerships. My first and last American car.

We have never owned a Buick before but after doing some research and pricing we went with the top of the line Buick Essence. Its a zippy little buggy as I call it...just enuf room for my husband and i...the seats are comfortable - lots of front cabin room. The only thing I would like to see is a better arm rest and maybe one for the passenger . The middle console ( if you want to call it that ) is much to be desired from what we are use to...like the blind spot detection in the outside mirrors - also one of the features we wanted was Navigation and we got it..heated leather seats but no adaptive cruise control...which wasn't a deal breaker for us...over all if I had to do it all over again I personally think I would of chosen something MAYBE a little bit more roomier BUT like I said it's only my husband and I so what do we need all that space for :P
