Loving my GX
By Matt on Friday, July 31, 2020
I've only had the GX for a few weeks, but I'm loving it so far. I have the AWD essence trim and love the interior that comes with this package (leather seats vs the cloth in the opening trims). It has the performance I need for standard city and highway driving and offers a very nice interior and exterior. The only knock I have so far is that the wireless charging isn't compatible with all phones, but everything else is great. I would definitely recommend this for someone who wants an entry luxury car for a great value. - 5.0
So far so good my encore is everything i expected
By Hail2eman on Monday, November 09, 2020
Had my Encore GX Select for about a month now . I read a lot of reviews and all the critic's was saying this car is under power, because it has 3 liter engine. You will never get speeding ticket in this car but it has more then enough power for acceleration and passing other cars on the highway. It even climbs steep hills better then RAV 4 I had. This car has everything I wanted in car . Small size (good for city driving and parking) , good gas mileage , cargo space, lots of safety features somewhat different interior. This car sits nice and comfortable between a Honda and Lexus. Its a premium car, but its not luxury car or economy car. Perfect for city driving or commute driving. Perfect car for urban empty nest couple. - 4.0
Encore GX - Great with Some Issues
By gsl on Tuesday, March 17, 2020
I've owned the GX for about 3 weeks now-700 miles so far. There's lots to like but there but there are some weaknesses to be addressed. Strengths: Comfortable, Strong Acceleration, Great looks, Regular gas, Roomy back seat for a subcompact SUV., Great safety features, Excellent native navi system , Smooth shifting transmission; Bright headlights. Concerns/Issues: City MPG is only about 24 mpg...so far; Infotainment system will not receive/play text messages on Android phones (tried a Pixel 3a and Galaxy S10) - Dealer acknowledges the issue. you can only see texts thru Android Auto if phone is connected by USB; Lane departure warning doesn't work at speeds below 37-38 mph - dealer acknowledges this is an issue. This is a safety concern!; No padding in the door pockets-annoying as things slide around; No air vent in the rear seat area. Some other thoughts - handling is secure but not as "tight" as the Mazda CX30 which I test drove. You can turn off the start/stop feature though it’s unobtrusive to me. Would have been nice if there was an auto-hold feature. You can also shut off the AWD. The instrument cluster is awkward. Lots of scrolling if you want to monitor things like MPG, range, speed limits-they're all on different screens. Overall I'm pleased but I do expect Buick to address the texting and lane departure warning issues. Dealer is "researching" issues since this such a new model.
