Finished a multi week rental and think I can sum this up as that song from Bob's Burgers: "Quarter A**ing". Buick seems to have just given up half way through designing this thing. In fact I'm having trouble trying to determine who this thing is designed for. Cargo hold is non existent, I basically had to fold down back seats when hauling luggage, large items, almost anything. Why does only the driver get an arm rest? Why is the center cargo hold so small and far away? Why is there no real storage for small things in the car? Why do the auto headlights wait until after dark to turn on? Why are the intelligent wipers unintelligent and never adjust or turn on? Why does auto climate control constantly fog up the windows? Why is there permanent two zone climate control with no sync? Why do the power seats power the bottom but not the tilt? Why do the vehicle settings not seem to set things like the heated seat when remote starting (but say they do)? Why is there rear vehicle detection but no other features like lane keep assist, pre coalition, etc? Why is that rear wiper so teeny tiny? Why is there navigation but only if I call and talk to an Onstar person? Who wants to talk to Onstar constantly!?! Why is center display features only accessible from the turn signal stick so that you have to take your hand off the wheel and fiddle with something complex that almost prevents your from using the steering wheel while driving? Why is the radio reception so very bad? It wouldn't pick up stations our ten year old car had no problem locking on to. Why is the gas tank so teeny tiny? It's just an odd non functional mix of features. I will say, it is very quiet on well paved roads. It does have nice bright headlights. It is oddly high riding (which can make it teetery at times) but gives you nice visibility. Acceleration isn't to bad if you really push it. I suspect premium might help this. Luckily CarPlay is available for the infotainment and navigation. It does have a nice cutsy rumble tumble look to it.

This little hot rod replaced My Lincoln MKX AWD. One minute I had it.. Next stupid human trick moment it was on the hook. I was used to being surrounded by lotsa bells and whistle's in my Lincoln so when I set out to replace my transportation I saw a car on a dealers website and the second I saw the Buick Encore.. It was instantly Game Over. The style.. and curb appeal you might say blew me away. Nothing about it was show offish. It was just sexy and petite and self assuming. Perfect for simple people with simple needs. I'll never load a couch in it but it offers everything even an active family will ever need. Comfortable on every level and the best thing is the economics of operation were startling. And the Bells and Whistles in buying this car.. I bought even more than I lost! only loss.. Heated seats! All the creature comforts are there. True the cargo space is slightly smaller than most but how much room does a loaf of bread, milk and eggs need?! If you've heard thee expression.. Diamond in the rough.. My friend for mini money you have just put a Diamond in the driveway! I expect my encore will last me many years faithfully and this being my second Buick.. I promise you.. I'll be back.. GM.. This Buick Encore is the best of the rest. Thank You

good small SUV. Road noise and lack of cargo space is a drawback. Front Seating is comfortable. I am 300lbs., so I have not bothered to get in the back seat. My mother-in-law seems okay back there, all 4'9" of her. Good gas mileage is a plus. Decent power. The PRICE WAS REASONABLE. 0% Financing was the key in my purchase. I would recommend for daily commute, but not for cross country trip. Overall, we are pleased with the purchase. It isn't easy to get a new vehicle for under $400/month.

could not fit a suitcase and a small cooler in the trunk. what in the name of marconi is up with the am/fm antenna? i KNOW there are plenty of radio stations on the routes i drive, this radio couldn't seem to find them. took 2 days to find the trip odometer (and another 1/2 hour to find out "how" to operate it). really, the radio was the biggest complaint! driving down I-40 between needles and barstow is mind numbing enough, now turn on the lack of radio reception!
