Classy Comfort Choice

The car practically drives itself. Good gas mileage and comfortable ride, solid, quiet and smooth. SUV with a luxury ride. Has a lot of technology. Do yourself a favor and take this one out for a test drive. You will be pleasantly surprised.

I love this car.

I love all the extras on this car. Very comfortable to drive. Perfect small SUV. The only drawback is the small storage in the hatch.

Small SUV

I love my Buick but it's pretty small for an SUV. It doesn't have a center console and isn't very roomy in the backseat. In order for an infant seat to fit, I have to push the passenger side all the way up. I wouldn't recommend for a large family but is perfect for 1-2 people. Other than space, my Buick is awesome and a smooth ride!

Great performance

I like being up a little higher for visibility since I am only 5'2". This vehicle is the perfect size for me and has been very reliable.

Smooth Ride

I test drove the Buick Encore and loved it! It's a perfect size for those looking for a small SUV. It felt so comfortable and easy to navigate. highly recommend for a small size SUV.

Great car and very useful for its size

This car is a small SUV but with the seats folded down can hold much more than I ever thought. Also drives and rides nice. There is also plenty of leg room in the back seat for passengers. Great SUV!

Zippy, nice Buick feel on inside

Car is fun to drive and interior feels like luxurious.. Great gas mileage and looks pretty good though front end appears stubby from certain angles, a little disappointed car its made in Korea rather than America.Had it for over a year and really haven't had any problems while putting around 12,000 miles on it.

Really like the dealership

My Buick is fun and has turned 22K miles in a year. Great mileage- up to 33mpg during summer and 29 during the winter for my commute. Bought it to have AWD and its done well by me. Love how the dealer treats me - McAndrew King is full of good people.

Best car/crossover I have ever bought!

I love this car! It has enough room for all 5 of us, including my 6'4" son! Great has mileage, super smooth ride, great radio, love the back up camera and assist. I love that it has remote start and that I can use an app to unlock/lock and start my car. The built in Wi-Fi is awesome too!
