Patricia M., NY (2013 Buick Encore)"Turning radius too large"
Anonymous, VA (2013 Buick Encore)"Nice little car to get around town that has zip, handles very well and fun to drive, and has the open of manual shift for going down hills to save on brakes"
Anonymous, NY (2013 Buick Encore)"The good is the fuel mileage, comfort (even for back seat passengers), handling (tighter suspension than I expected, pleasant surprise). The bad is the turbo lag, counter-intuitive to lighten your foot on the pedal to go faster. Like the turbo's trying to catch up with what I'm telling the engine to do."

"I love the quick acceleration when getting on the highway. However with the a/c on the turbo seems to react sluggishly."
