A Little Small, But Standing Tall
We bought a 2nd car before buying a 1st car. The 0% financing for 72 months got our attention. We bought a Demo with almost 6000 miles; we got a good deal considering the chip/vehicle shortage. Overall, we like the Buick Encore. It seems solid mechanically and body integrity wise. The only negatives are back seat room, cargo space, and some road noise (could be the next set of tires might help). The car has plenty of room for the front seat occupants (I am 6'3", 300+ lbs). I would recommend this vehicle for anyone that wants to spend less than 30k.
Bick Encore GX
Buick has one horrible aspect to this car - Screaming brakes, shrill to hurt your ears. Buick says its normal for their cars to have screaming brakes and there is no fix. People, there are plenty of other cars without this issue. In 50 year and maybe 30 cars, I've never had one with brakes that scream like this, Otherwise the car is fine but is quirky.

The Same, but Different
This is my 3rd Buick Encore. It has a few new features, but but basically the same as the first one. The interior isn't as nice--I wanted leather, but that is now too expensive. The seat warmers have to be installed on the car, which I don't like. One could find an Encore with seat warmers, but the wait, price, and availability might be problematic.
