The Same, but Different

This is my 3rd Buick Encore. It has a few new features, but but basically the same as the first one. The interior isn't as nice--I wanted leather, but that is now too expensive. The seat warmers have to be installed on the car, which I don't like. One could find an Encore with seat warmers, but the wait, price, and availability might be problematic.

Good Car With A Few Caveats

Overall, I like the car. It's a nice size for me. It's big enough that I can transport pieces of furniture from Ikea, TVs from Best Buy, and other stuff like that with no issue. It's also small enough that I can fit into tight parking spots and things like that. I like that it has push to start and keyless entry available. That can be very helpful when I have my hands full and don't feel like rattling around in my bag for the key. All of the systems in the car are nice. I like that it has OnStar available. One EXTREMELY annoying thing about this car for me is that when you are low on gas, it doesn’t tell you how many miles you have until you run out of gas. At first, it does, but once you get to like 30-40 miles left, it stops showing a number and just says “Low.” This is a HUGE inconvenience for me. I would prefer to see an actual number. “Low” doesn’t really mean anything to me. If I have 30 miles left, I'm going to keep driving, but if I have 5 miles left, I will stop for gas. With this car, there is no way to know which it is.

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!!
