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.

Encore Encore!

This is my second consecutive Buick Encore lease - it is an awesome vehicle for an urban lifestyle. Best features: incredibly maneuverable in tight spaces, great fuel economy, very peppy turbo 1.4L engine, handles great on the highway as well as bustling city streets, great amenities, very quiet. Features I wish Buick would offer as options: electric seat recliner (vs manual), electric tailgate, more expansive safety features like lane keep, auto braking, etc. I searched extensively for a better value in a subcompact luxury SUV and couldn't find one - it is the best combo of performance, fuel economy, luxury features and price point. The only other vehicle i considered was the new Cadillac X4 but it is insanely expensive.

I'm loving my new 2019 encore essence almost just as much as my 2017 encore sport touring...with only 500 miles on it I can tell that i will be just as impressed. My 2017 had only 8000miles when it was totaled from a red light runner, my milage never got lower than 30 miles per gallon in and out of town. I can't be more impressed with how safe I felt after the head on collision. I could go on and on....

I own The Buick Encore AWD Preferred

I first owned a Buick Encore FWD and hated it. I went back after about 6 months and bought the AWD and am much happier with the ride. The only thing I would change is getting the Essence with heated leather seats instead of the Preferred and then paying to have the parking and lane change sensors put on while still having cloth seats. The product is nice for the money. I've owned Corvette Z06, Camaro RS, and Mercedes- Benz. So, I am familiar with the high end factor. I definitely feel I got my moneys worth with the Buick. I would not buy the Chevrolet equivelent.
