The Buick 2019 Encore is the Greatest

Encore Owner, 08/21/2019
2019 Buick Encore Preferred 4dr SUV (1.4L 4cyl Turbo 6A)

The Buick Encore is such a well thought out car. It's easy to get in and out of, seats are comfortable and driving is a dream. Love the rear camera. The infotainment center is great. Adjusting the driver seat has so many options. You can adjust to fit a short person or a very tall person. The way the rear seats fold to make a vast cargo area is so convenient. The rear cargo area is okay but the expansion potential makes it great. Turns on a dime and fits in any parking space. The cover for the rear storage is sweet.

Amazingly smooth and quiet, plus comfortable seats

PaulC, 10/30/2019
2019 Buick Encore Essence 4dr SUV (1.4L 4cyl Turbo 6A)

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.

Perfect Small SUV

I bought my Encore Preferred AWD three months ago and I am really impressed. It drives extremely well and is so quiet. I have no complaints. It is beautiful to look at and the LED headlights set off the classy black exterior. I am looking forward to some snow in Western New York to test out the AWD. I am so happy with my purchase.
