Never again!

I have had so many problems with this car. Bought it 2 years ago and it’s been in the shop 5 times! Transmission module, starter module, kept over heating…well at least the module THOUGHT it was over heating. It was another module. That cost me $1200. A couple of times they couldn’t figure out why it was telling me it was over heating. The last time in the shop they told me an error was coming up and I MAY have a problem with the heater this winter, which is no longer under warranty and will cost me about $1500. Well last night my engine light came on again…UGH. I bought a new car so I wouldn’t have problems. Buick, Never again!!

Covid Purchase. There was nothing Else!

I bought this car in January 22 because the transmission went on my other car and I needed to go to work the next day. The car is small. I am 6'4" and no one could sit in the in the seat behind me. I need AWD as I ski and live in the mountains. The most disturbing thing that happened twice was when the AWD over heated in a snowstorm and shuts down. So, when I really needed it it over heated and shut off. It reverts to front wheel drive. The manual says to shut the car off and let it cool down? Was going to write a review sooner. But, wanted to trade it in first. Over all not a terrible car. The mileage for such a tiny vehicle wasn't that great and the fuel tank is on the smaller side. Filled up every 300 miles or so.

Purchased the buick encore for its fuel economy, I do all highway driving,but it's not that great on fuel averaged about 9l/100 in the winter it gets worse 12l/100 in the cold-20c or below ut goes into a safe mode where it dosen't go into 6th gear. GM says it's a safety feature to keep the turbo hot. Seatbelts lock up so you can't move,Radio wouldn't hold a memory,uncomfortable of your a bigger person. However for a small suv it does drive and rise nice

The Best First Car

I loved this car, it was my first car I purchased on my own. It rides smooth and has the best gas mileage. No issues with maintenance, regular oil changes, tire rotations and the car purrs . Looks beautiful and moves in and out of traffic like a dream. You couldn't do better then this car.
