We recently added a second child to our brood and needed a bigger vehicle than my small car. We traded in for the Buick Encore and love it! While it is still small for an SUV, it is perfect for what we need. It is stylish on the inside and outside. It is quiet and the on-demand awd is amazing in the winter. I actually just drove it in the blizzard in Denver and had very little trouble. The ride is smooth and enjoyable. The only downside is that braking is loud and makes an odd noise. Have taken it to the dealership and have been told it is just that way. Overall the pros far outweigh the few (one in my case) cons.

This car is my favorite car I have owned so far. I have driven many miles on it, and we hear no weird noises, and have no problems accelerating or anything! One of the only things I dislike about the car is the fact that sometimes the person getting out of the backseat struggles. It is a little bit too small of an opening to get in or out without sliding sideways. I love the interior of the car. It looks really nice and fancy compared to my old car. We have had no problems with anything electrical, and I feel like I'm always learning something else about the system in the car all the time (it's fun!).
