I bought 2014 Premium AWD used w, 30k miles and odometer
I bought 2014 Premium AWD used w, 30k miles and odometer now reads 179k. The car has been very reliable , I have replaced the water pump, timing belt, and done brakes and oil changes, I also fixed the manifold/valve cover issue. These were all normal Repairs . I am pretty good with maintenance, so that is key w this car. If you just drive it, don’t change oil or fluids then like any car you will have problems . This one has been very good .

Avoid 2014 Encore!
I bought a 2015 Encore in 2019 used. It has had catalytic converter issues from the beginning with the converter being replaced 3 times. The turbo has been replaced 3 times, valve covers replaced twice, spark plugs replaced 4 times, O2 sensors replaced & still has check engine light with code for emissions issues. I have replaced the air conditioning compressor & it's now in the shop to replace thermostat housing. This car has been in the shop now 13 times since May 2019 & I've spent thousands. Dealership doesn't care, AG's office is useless regarding lemon law, GM & Buick offer 10% discount on repairs only if Buick dealership repair at higher labor rates. This vehicle was paid for in 6 payments, but I am now disabled & cannot afford to trade it in or continue to make repairs. It's a great styled vehicle, fun to drive, compact in size while still offering plenty of cargo space & comfort. Unfortunately, it's mechanical issues are unending, expensive to fix, & completely turned me off the Buick brand.

Loves the mechanic
My son named this as my roller skate and I loved both the name and the vehicle. I would NOT recommend this vehicle. I have spent thousands on repairs. It’s back in the shop now. I have replaced the A/C compressor, radiator coolant reservoir and numerous other parts. If you want a vehicle that stays in the shop and that you will spend lots on repairs then this is the vehicle for you. As much as I enjoy the interior comfort I am going to get rid of it.

Never buy a car there and watch for phoney sales.
Without repairs I cant give it a rating . I told them it would be a miracle if I made it home in this xxx.

Love my car!
I owned a Buick Lucerne before this purchase. I will always own a Buick for the rest of my life. Low maintenance, high dependability & comfort! I have wanted an Encode from the minute they came on the market! This one has EVERYTHING! LOVING the heated seats & steering wheel right now! I feel VERY spoiled!

Love the safety features. Big help for safe drivin
This car has all the safety features I need, but is also so nice inside, with leather seats, and outside with a metallic brown. In addition, a 2014 model, it has only 16000 miles.
