    I recently purchased a certified 2022 Buick Encore GX. I love it. I drove a 2019 Jeep Compass before I bought the Buick. The difference is vast. I don’t drive everyday and when I do it’s under 40 miles. As far as the response when I accelerate I am impressed. My car feels bigger than it actually is. Thanks for the video. I am not well versed on cars but this has been very informative.

    Going out on a limb: No one but Sam will ever drive an Encore in those boots.

    I like the look of this car, and Buick is a company you can definitely bargain down. I currently have a 2019 Encore with the 1.4 L engine. Peppy and the mileage is always 30+ no matter how I drive it. The smaller 1.3 L in a slightly heavier vehicle is probably a non-starter for me. In my current Encore, it was the first time to use the start/stop technology. At long lights, I think it helps the fuel efficiency for sure. Guess the 2019 will be a keeper for awhile.

    Good review Sam..I was hoping this would be a decent vehicle as a potential replacement for my elderly Mom's aging Ford Escape. At those prices for the questionable quality I will advise her to skip this. Thanks again for the great video.

    We haven't been able to buy an actual Buick for years now. They've either been an Opal or a Daewoo. No thanks. I'd prefer a real Buick. And the MPG here? Really? My MINI Cooper is way overpowered for normal driving (S-Series) yet if I literally drive it like a maniac on the expressway it returns 33.5 MPG. Believe what Sam is saying about these tiny turbo engines like this Encore has. I don't expect engines like that to last.

    I wonder how a salesperson at a dealership would respond to a customer saying “why does it look like the dashboard has three different colors?” 😂

      If it was a good salesperson they would not even hear it or acknowledge it. ;)

    Lol, it IS an Import, from South Korea, I believe. And the warranty in Canada at least is 4 years, other than Hyundai and Kia which is 5 years in Canada, 1 year more than most brands, most brands are a 3 year warranty!

    I was going to trade my sonic in for one of these. I think I'll just wait for something else. It reminds me of a newer CUV sonic and I was hoping for more

    It's actually a nice vehicle, my only gripe would be that it does not, have adaptive cruise control... You would think what all the safety features available on these vehicles that GM would implement that,

    Boots or high heels, who cares. Wear what you want. Too bad on the Buick. It's a good size and decent looking. I've learned over time, that's not enough tho.

  • @karlpiepenburg3157

    I don’t understand the purpose of the Buick brand, since it is sold in GMC dealerships offering competing SUV’s. Since Buick no longer sells sedans or coupes, why does it exist? This particular SUV seems appealing, but the 3 cylinder provokes questions

    Tiny little engine, and it can't give good mpg's. I can't imagine the tiny thing going a whole lot of miles down the road, anyways. Definitely a lease vehicle.
    Now, about the boots; Way cool!

      They were tied tightly and fitting well during our shoot. They are now in the closet.
