I bought it outright as I plan to keep it until it dies!! LOL I cannot say how effective the AWD is yet but from what I have heard I will be thankful I spent a little extra $ to get it come winter in Michigan. I have only owned it for 3 days but I think I can honestly say it is the nicest vehicle I have ever owned. While it is a very "techy" vehicle everything is easy to understand and operate. We also test drove a Chevy Trax and while it was nice, there is no comparison to the Encore, much higher quality. I love the quality of the Buick brand and it is a very nice, quiet, … fuel efficient ride.

Even if we have people in the back seats there is more than ample room for us to not feel squashed. I was worried that my wife and I (larger than average people) would be crowded in the Encore but we were surprised by the amount of room in it. Just bought the 2019 Preferred Model Encore AWD and I absolutely love it!!. I highly recommend this Encore to anyone seeking a quality subcompact SUV. It is definitely worth the slightly higher price. This Buick Encore is quiet and smooth and it feels much more like a luxury SUV. There were so many other SUV’s in this class that did not have the technology that this vehicle possesses. The infotainment system is very user friendly. I never thought that I would own a Buick, but I am truly glad that I made the choice to purchase the Encore. I found the engine to have more than ample power both in the city and on the highway. I … read the “CON” of the vehicle was lack of power of the standard engine. I previously owned a Jeep Renegade and a Kia Soul, but neither of these two vehicles had the smooth ride and luxury feel of the interior that the Buick Encore possesses. The Encore is very nimble and handles well in most driving situations. This vehicle became a standout after I finished my research of the vehicles in this class. I am extremely impressed with the 2019 Buick Encore. A sunroof is optional on all but the base trim.
