Never would've thought we'd own a Buick...

but we do. Wife was wanting some sort of small SUV and after driving several different ones (Juke, Rogue, Patriot, Captiva), she decided on a 2014 Buick Encore with like 25,000 mi. and, I must say, I'm pretty impressed with it so far. Damn thing has just every option you could want besides a sunroof and is averaging 30 mpg, which is about 5 mpg better than her Sonata was getting. Works out pretty good with her driving 50 miles each way to work and back everyday.

I have looked at those.
Doesn't it have a 2.0 turbo engine or some damn thing.

Nice car.

For some reason I'm thinking it's a 1.4 turbo but it could be a 2.0. It's a lot quicker than I expected for such a small engine.

That's what I used to think but their newer lineup blew pretty much every other we looked at out of the water.

I ain't mad. We all get old. It's just that when you're looking at Buicks, you know you've arrived! :thumb:

I just knew she was gonna go with a Nissan but, after driving everything, she (and me too) just couldn't pass up on the Encore. It's been a week and I'm still surprised lol.

2 clients had (one still has) an Enclave and gave me their 2 cents. They really liked the drive and all the serious stuff. Both had only one same complaint about the dash buttons n sech being too cheapy and one said the dash started rattling.

Still makes a lot more sense than luxury shit that costs a lot and is basically the same.

Couldn't do it. I took getting old in a completely different direction.

Traded in my Explorer on a BMW M4.

Fuck the kids and their "car seats".

I had a Buick when I was 22. Much like this one, but I yanked the '78 350 and dropped in a '72 455.
The pig would fly then.
