If you are looking for a small SUV, this is the one for you. Easy to operate. You don't need a key to open and unlock the doors (big plus). Push button start. Comfortable seats and easy to get in and out of. Quiet ride. Love this little SUV!

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.

We hit a deer 5 months ago it caused the seat belt to malfunction on the drivers side. GMC cannot get us a seat belt and has no clue when one will become available. In the meantime the dealership won't release the car because of the safety aspect. GMC gas taken no incentive to help us get on either. Been a customer if GMC for years but after this they lost our business.

Excellent Car

I leased two 2020 Encore Preferred models—one for me, the other for my college-aged daughter. Sadly, she crashed hers within two years, rendering it a total loss. The accident was severe; she escaped with a fractured nose from the airbag deployment. That card has 21K miles and was flawless and never in the shop. I'm still driving mine, although the lease is almost up; I have 43K miles and an excellent vehicle with no issues. I loved the spunky engine; the mpg is in the high 30s and gives a surprisingly smooth ride. I have ZERO complaints about this car and would buy another one, except I'm now in the market for a pickup. These are genuinely great cars, and I highly recommend them.
