Not a good car.

Post-bankruptcy GM cars are not the greatest things around I'm afraid. If you want Scotty to take a look at it you may be able to hook up with him when he returns from Rhode Island in a couple of months.

Unfortunately, no, that is not a good car from a quality/reliability standpoint.  If you had asked us before the purchase, I would have recommended to either stay away from that vehicle (or any GM product) or to lease it and return before the warranty expires.

Baby the car if you're going to keep it. Don't drive it hard, if you blow the turbocharger, that's the end of your acceleration, which is not that great as is. Don't be late on oil changes and monitor your coolant levels too. Although the weight class is the same as the Chevy Cruze (which also uses the 1.4L turbo), the Encore is a crossover designed more like a hatchback/wagon, to carry a bunch of stuff, which this engine won't be great at doing.
