Buick Encore

"Great acceleration, and just fun to drive."

"Zippy and quick"

"Great car around town..handling decent...somewhat under powered..could use some more horsepower"

"Initial hesitation on acceleration. I have to be careful & not pull out in front of anyone"

"It handles well, and has good acceleration. The steering is pretty touchy, but just fine once you get acquainted with it."

"Generally quite good for a 4-cylinder, but does not accelerate as fast as I expect from a stop. It is better if I turn the a/c off"

"Turbo has a slow response to acceleration and wgwhen it does respond it can cause erratic behavior if making a turn."

"Acceleration is poor but I knew that was the trade off for good gas mileage."

"The vehicle handles fine but the acceleration often feels strained as if the engine is under powered."

"Car handles well but acceleration is not there better make sure you start early or have lots of room"

"Love the turbocharged. Goes now when I want to pass, and all this with excellent gas mileage."

"mini SUV - perfect for island living"

"Has great pick up speed when required for passing cars on the highway. Very sturdy. Very comfortable for a long drive."

"Poor gas milage"

"Very peppy and great handling. Love to drive out Encore."

"Love the acceleration as it has a V6 turbo engine. Its very easy to park"

"Poor acceleration."

"The car drives well but at highway speeds it does not feel as secure."

"Acceleration is terrible, and Gas mileage is awful. 1.8 liter turbo is sluggish and couldn't beat a turtle from a dead stop. The gas mileage for a 1.8 should be 30 mpg. Instead it is barely over 20. Terrible. But stylish and comfortable car."

"Drives very well, love the higher seat position u get with this SUV. Have the more powerful engine than my 2013 Encore and love the extra power. Have the sport model and appreciate the improved styling. good value for the price.."

"Gas mileage and power could be better."

"Blind spots concerning"

"Visibility could be better. Posts restrict visibility."

"For the most part the acceleration is really good for the size of engine it has, it only balked somewhat when I had 2 adults and 2 children in it, otherwise no problems. Handling is wonderful, easy to drive and turns in a small area. Love it!"

"Car drifts on grooved pavement"

"The ride is relatively quiet for a small car. It also rides fairly smoothly."

"6 way power seats..."

"Drivers seat is excellent for adjusting to my back issues. Ride is very smooth like a car, not an SUV."

"My experience in the interior of the vehicle continues to be very positive:seats are comfortable and easy to adjust, the cabin is quiet, the second row seats fold down easily (and I've us d this feature many times)"

"CANT SEE DASH BOARD IN THE DAYLIGHT"

"The seats are very comfortable even on long trips."

"Random noise coming from rear wheels; window visibility not as good as I had so have had a couple close calls Wish it was a little bit higher off the ground and larger"

"Ride is quite stiff."

"Seats are very comfortable and the vehicle is quiet with a nice ride and handles very nice.."

"The road noise is much louder than I expected. Thinner and lighter construction materials give the vehicle a 'tin can' feel every time the doors are closed. With the use of lighter materials I would have expected better gas mileage but the vehicle's mileage is no better than my other larger (and one year older) SUV."

"Seats are comfortable but slightly under-siaed for an average-sized adult - especially seat width"

"very comfortable,quiet.nice ride"

"Very comfortable seats. Love the adjustable lumbar support. Nice quiet drive"

"Very quiet and comfortable. Not tiring to drive it at all. Air conditioning works much better than any other car we have had"

"Very comfortable ride & quieter than my previous car"

"Extremely quiet, smooth ride and comfortable seating. Good room in rear seat for car of this size."

"Seating is very comfortable. However there is only a manual recline control."

"Driver's seat controls stopped working for no apparent reason. Dealer changed fuse but said it was not blown. No reason identified for seat. I see this as a potential safety problem."

"Very quiet ride, the driver seat is comfortable, sound system and climate control work very well."

"Seated high for comfort and ease of driving. Even my spouse with spinal injuries may ride comfortably in this car. Gas mileage on my previous 2013 Encore which I just traded for the 2016 - got me 44 miles per gallon."

"driver side arem rest is a pain."

"I love the air conditioning. It cools my car down immediately and it does not produce cold spots. It is very responsive. If I change the temperature setting slightly, I feel the result at once."

"Very comfortable seats"

"By waiting until early 2017 to buy one of the many 2016's on the lot, this car was almost 1/3 off. Exceptional value for the price paid."

"Good car for the price"

"It was exactly the type of car we were looking for."

"Price is too high for the value."

"Was able to trade 2013 GMC Acadia for NEW 2016 Buick Encore no cash, full warranty"

"The Buick Encore is a lot of bang for the buck. They always seem to have large incentives, and are fiercely discounted. But, they mine, soon to be 3 years old, has held it's value well. They look great, are functional, and have that Buick panache that the Chevy and others don't. The ride and handling is fabulous, although the 4 cyl is noisy from the gate, sounding like a VW Beatle from the '60's. But once at speed, it's silent, and the turbo is amazing! Do yourself a favor, spring for the All Wheel Drive option, just great in bad weather."

"After numerous months of comparison shopping I was unable to locate any other make that provided the features or had the overall ratings given the Escort."

"I leased it....low down, low payments, mostly reliable....comfortable for what I wanted it for...A good little car....Buick has done a nice job with these..."

"It is my wife's car which I maintain. She loves the Buick Encore and this is her second one. she loves the size, gas mileage and comfort of the vehicle. For the money she paid, with her trade in, it was a good deal for her."

"Wonderfully styled, we get compliments"

"Incredible value on 2 year lease. Good "city" car."

"I think that the ride is not a good old Buick ride. Not the soft Buick ride. Very poor gas milage for the car size."

"I bought this Encore for under $25000 with all of the extra perks that were available."

"needed to trade in my 2010 Buick Enclave which had MANY problems and got a good deal on trade in and incentives at Buick"

"The model that I bought came with everything except all wheel drive. The car averaged 29 mpg and that is with lots of Idling.The car handled very well both driver and passenger front seat were 6 way power."

"Got the employee discount so it was a good value."

"Size and ride for around town"

"Would like a little more acceleration, especially passing, However that issue does not come up often enough while driving in this area to be an issue. Passengers often respond positively and with surprise when they get in the car for the first time. I think Consumer reports is under rating this car."

"Buick had a special sales incentive- 20% off and w took advantage of the deal. he car gives you a comfortable ride, great gas mileage,with all the most current features Just under 30.000."

"interior is sharp"
