This SUV is perfect for a family of four! Not much storage space, but the seats lay flat to allow for bigger items. Engine runs smooth for a 4 cylinder and definitely a gas saver! The cost is great if you are on a budget!

It is upscale experience with a small footprint. Really quiet compared to the Subaru I had. About the same mileage. Seems a little low for its size but the car is well made and feels way more luxury oriented. Great stereo. Easy electronics to understand.

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.

It started out great the first week, then started the items to be fixed. The heater had issues. Then the big one was the turbo. Not one time but 3 times. When it goes out you have no power. To sum it up, this vehicle was in the shop 8 times in less than 2 years. That is an average of every 3 months.

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.

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.
