| Should I buy a new Buick Encore or Civic | 68Relevance | 5 years ago | motoair | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| Hello Scotty, How’s it going in Tennessee? I bet it’s nice compared to Huston. I’m in CA and there’s a mass exodus as well here. Looking to buy a new car and stuck between two. American vs Japanese. 2021 Buick Encore GX or 2021 Honda Civic hatchback sport. I’ve watched your videos for a long time and can already hearing you saying go with the Honda. I would typically agree but value your opinion. What is you overall opinion on each in a more general sense? i started reading up on the engine and transmission combinations for both manufacturers and had som ... | |||||

| I bought my wife a Buick Encore GX. It has a automatic 1.3 turbo with 155hp. Her Encore has 9000 miles since the purchase. I don’t believe the purchase was a good purchase but my wife loves the car. What are the issues that people have had with this size motor besides the Encore is cramped and slow? And should we get rid of the vehicle before issues arise? | |||||

| Are you planning on keeping the Buick Encore for a long time and put 100,000-200,000 miles on it (or more)? If so, stay as far away as possible, esp. since GM quality has mostly gone downhill since the early 2000s (even earlier than that). Besides the powertrain, electrical issues will most likely get you at some point and a royal pain to track down and fix. Also, see below: | |||||

| Answer to: 2018 Buick Encore FWD Good Buy? | 48Relevance | 2 years ago | Justin Shepherd | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| A quick Wikipedia search says they stopped making the Encore last year, with no direct replacement, so I'm sure it's not a good vehicle. Anything but a heavy-duty truck (2500 HD+) stay away from GM if you want it to last. | |||||

| Ultimately, if you value longevity, and want a car to last, you want a naturally aspirated engine. Ideally you want a naturally aspirated engine without GDI. Although I would take GDI over forced induction. I believe the Encore is turbocharged only. GM isn't known for making the strongest engines to begin with so adding a turbocharger really isn't a good thing long term so I would run from the Encore. A naturally aspirated Civic should last you forever. That is the way to go. | |||||

| I would not buy it. Those cars are built with cheap quality in China and odds are you're going to have electrical problems with that Encore as time goes on. If you want a sub-compact SUV with good gas mileage and reliability, go for a Toyota C-HR or Mazda CX-30. If you want something a little bigger, go for a Toyota RAV4 or Mazda CX-5. They will be leagues better than that Encore in the long run. | |||||

| ... partially by Opel engineers.It's just a stretched and improved Opel insignia, a plusher nicer Buick Regal.-That's not just the Opel Regal and LaCrosse, the Buick Encore is an Opel Mokka, and most new and old GM sedan/small-SUV models are just Opels in disguise - pretty much all of them use either a GM-Opel platform or an Opel engine (such as the Opel B-series, called "SGE" by GM)-But since PSA's (Peugeot-Citroën) take over of Opel, Opel engineers responsible for designing these cars are been mostly fired and new Opel cars share parts and platforms with PSA ... | |||||

| 2017 Buick Encore: Should I trade it? | 41Relevance | 4 years ago | eharden10 | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| I own a 2017 Buick Encore with 27,254 miles on it. I was driving it home one day and the mileage screen and the gauges went black for about 10 seconds. I was still able to drive it, and it came back up and it reappeared. I looked online to see if other people had the same issue and I found one question in a forum and they went back to the dealer and the dealer told them it was normal. That it was a computer glitch. What would you suggest to do. It has not done it again but I am just concerned about the future. I bought the car new right off the Buick dealer ... | |||||

| Hi Scotty I have a 2017 Buick Encore FWD with the 1.4 without auto stop. I live in Florida so it gets hot. Recently the AC on the Encore has been registering about 52-55 degrees on the vents. I checked the AC refrigerant level on the low pressure cap and it registers about 38 PSI which was a little low so I pumped it up to 42 PSI which is in the green zone according to the recharge kit I got. The temperature only went down to about 48 which is still too high. The kit I got says once I get to the green zone to stop. I don't know what else could be wrong with ... | |||||
