My wife and I bought one about 7 weeks ago and love it. It is the Encore GX Avenir model, and we enjoy all the bells and whistles. It gets wonderful mileage and has averaged 33.5 miles a gallon around town and back and forth to work. Of course it get better on the open road. The engine with the turbo is great and has plenty of power to move out when needed and it is also very quite while driving. Love the adaptive cruse control and easy to set the following distance as needed for road conditions. The 19" tires handle the road well and make for a better smother ride. The my Buick App is also a great feature for owners. I didn't realize you will not get an actual Owners Manual but the electronic one is pretty cool once you get use to searching for your questions. We decided to down size our ride since it is just the two of us now and really enjoy this great small SUV. It is so easy to park versus my full size truck.
Funny, but this SUV has a cousin the Trax. Both from a mechanics point dont get much luv . There is also a Fast back SUV that shares in the same price point. Have you explored how easy it woud be to repair or how reliable the drive train is, which would determine if better to buy or lease.
Unfortunately I only get these vehicles for a week at a time and typically nothing goes wrong, hard to gauge longevity of certain things. I just look for ease of maintenance for regular wear items.

I’m glad to hear it! Thanks for adding some insight to the ownership!
Is that the medieval times in Scottsdale?
It sure is
Love this! I have a 2021 ST trim and love it but want to upgrade and am trying to find out if the 2025 has vents in the back?
AWD gets a traditional 9-speed automatic.
Great video thank you!
Thanks for checking it out!
The '24 did have a nice-looking Avenir badge on the right side of the hatch. It was eliminated for '25...saves GM at least $1.54 per car LOL
I have a 25 and it still has the rear avenir badge
A 3 cylinder in a Buick? I had no idea.

Has a bit a face like the new Escape. The mouth part. Would look hot with sexy wheels and lowered.
people buy Buicks?
Of course! And I think this one is genuinely impressive! Looks great too!
Smooth ride and reliable af. Had my 2012 enclave go past 300000 miles.
