The 2013 Buick Encore: What the critics say

How did the 2013 Buick Encore fare with the critics? The price starts at $24,200.

Car and Driver

“The Encore is unlike any other product Buick has sold in its 110-year history.” Brand devotees will find the “cushy ride” and “quiet cabin” familiar, but this time those trademark strengths come in a tiny package that’s powered by a wisp of a 1.4-liter engine. Though the resulting 138 hp is “barely enough to break the speed limit,” this pint-size Buick offers luxury detailing, “whippet-quick” cornering response, and a versatile interior, all at a friendly price.
