2013 Buick Encore

This is a great car! It handles very well. It's good on gas and a comfortable ride. It has great features also. It's the perfect size for our family of four. Definitely the nicest ride I have ever owned!

Whish I got a Toyota

I have had this car for 2 years and have already spent 2,000 in repairs. Im stuck with it and I'm upside down so getting rid of it dosent seem to be an option unfortunately. Its only worth about half of what I owe.

Wish I made a different choice

I like everything about my car except the tiny engine with a turbo on it. I have owned my car less than 2 years and had to replace my turbo and paid 1500 and upon doing some research I have found out this is a common issue with buick encores sadly

Great car for city and suburbs

Small and efficient use of space. Vehicle rides much "bigger" than expected, yet easy to maneuver and park. Quiet with Continental tires and the Bose noise cancellation. Enough touches to make it feel more "upscale" (but they should have center armrests for both driver and the front passenger). "Luggage" room is small but enough for groceries and it is easy to fold down rear seats if more space is required. Gas consumption good and power is adequate.

Good car

Its a good car. Reliable but small. Not a good car for people who are tall or have tall kids. I bought this car after a bankruptcy for something not expensive and i got a good deal and right where I wanted to be. Only problem is there is literally no room. My husband and daughter are tall, and the car being so small its hard for them.

Great car

Great features except the engine lacks in acceleration. Nice features with the interior. The gps features are not very intuitive for new users. Navigation features are cumbersome for new users and can be frustrating.

2013Buick Encore

Great car ! Have had for six (6) years and 93,000 miles. Very comfortable, good gas mileage . For the six years I have owned it my average mileage is a little over 31 mpg. Would buy another one. Would like it to be more lineal when you get on it (turbo lag) but outside of that ride is great, handling is taut, quiet ,premium interior. Has held up well.

2013 Encore

Wife loves the vehicle for the ride height, comfortable seats, and quietness. Easy to handle with great ride quality. Averages 31 mpg. Nice versatility with flat folding rear seats. In 90,000 miles replaced water pump, A - side catalytic converter, input-export cooling lines to turbo, oil cooling line seals . Worried about long term reliability of engine.

Horrible!!!

This is the worst car I have ever bought. Most parts are plastic, so it breaks down a lot. I have spent too much money fixing this car. Horrible! Horrible! Horrible. Do NOT buy, it is a nightmare!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

2013 Buick Encore

Very happy with vehicle. Refined, comfortable, easy to drive in city with good high way ride quality. Average 31 mpg.after five (5) years of ownership. Upscale interior with utility. Only complaint is that drive line is jumpy (turbo lag, up-shift/down-shift) when pushed, not smooth enough.

2013 Buick Encore

Quite, smooth ride & comfortable for a small vehicle. Interior appointments are up scale. Underpowered but nice gas mileage.Least appealing part of vehicle is turbo. Small engine means it is kicking in a lot causing the six speed transmission to shift a lot. As a result drive becomes jumpy and not smooth as a Buick should be & I like.

2013 Buick Encore

I have the Premium version of this vehicle and just love all the extra features. It looks much more stylish than the generic version and has many more extras. I am sure the middle model would be close to this but the dealership i went to did not have that model.

Love it

I adore my Buick Encore. My kids wish it was bigger, but for what I need it is perfect! And my constant co pilot; my golden retriever, loves the Buick.

2013 Buick Encore

I think the Buick Encore is a very good automobile, It rides nice, Handles well & gets excellent gas mileage. The exterior style is great, it's a great looking automobile. I have gotten a lot of good comments from people who have seen it parked while we went into & out of a few restaurants. The only complaint I have is the visibility while backing out of a parking space, it's hard to see the surroundings.
