2022 Buick Encore Preferred 4dr SUV (1.4L 4cyl Turbo 6A)

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.

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.

I bought the new 2022 Preferred in 2023 and preferred over the 2023 GX due to the 4 cylinder turbo and 6 Speed auto transmission. Also it is a bit taller than the GX, the GX is a couple inches longer. The 2023 GX is a 3 cylinder with cvc transmission. I didn't want a cvc tranny. I have been really happy with it. Dark moon blue is metallic but looks black except when in the sun it is beautiful. I am light footed and average about 29 mpg combined. I Love it. It is small but perfect for me and my dog. Lol. Towing is rated 1048 lbs. but have seen it rated 1500 on one site but can't confirm that. I love the keyless feature and the 3 year wifi/ OnStar. I have had no issues. Love how quiet it is.

A better option for a small crossover must exist.

Serious buyers remorse happening for me after getting the '22 Encore Preferred. I had always wanted to try a Buick and had my eye on the Encore for a while. First thing I noticed was the gas milage is shockingly bad for such a small vehicle with an engine to match. The needle seems to fall right before your eyes......I swear my 2016 Caravan got better gas milage than this thing does. I guess they made the engine more powerful this time around, but all I have to say about that is I would have hated to see the weaker version because this one aint exactly a V-8 itself, making passing in particular much more challenging than I'm used to. Between the seat console configuration isn't very imaginative or roomy and the USB ports are nearly impossible to reach being tucked at the back of cubby which sits directly in front of the shifter. Ride is often bumpy as most smaller vehicles tend to be. Body/cabin is a bit too vertical for me - the new GX version is wider and lower. I looked at the GX and decided to go with the cheaper Preferred, but the difference is price is only a couple grand I think. Seats are semi-comfy at best. Stereo is ok.....servicable if nothing else. Overall........wish I'd splurged for either the GX or even a truck. Oh well, chalk this one up as an oops and carry on.
