I'm currently looking to buy one of these, so I've watched dozens of video reviews of them. This has been, by far, the most useful review I've found. You covered the stuff I think most people actually care about, and your presentation style is very engaging. Thank you, and keep up the great work!
@@podgey I got it! 2017 Encore Preferred in "Winterberry Red". I LOVE it! Your review was a big help, so I guess you can officially consider yourself an influencer now. 😋
I agree. You're so cute. You actually own the car you're reviewing. Most UA-cam reviews are car magazine reviews by people who dont own the car they're reviewing. Good job and thanks for the review.
Podgey! Great review! I just purchased a 2021 white Buick Encore and so far I am loving it! Had it about a week! I have noticed the lack of get up and go also! I can get passed it though! How long have you had yours now?! Maybe we can be Buick friends?!
I just came across this video while looking for reviews for this particular year/model. This was extremely helpful because it comes from a place of the "average person" and not someone who reviews cars for a living. Thank you- this was really helpful and definitely solidified my decision!
In the center of the instrument cluster, you have the digital MPH. By using a switch, you can change it to indicate tire inflation on each tire, % to next oil change, and 2 trip odometers. I usually leave it on tire pressure indicator and use the dial speedometer so I can monitor the tire pressure BEFORE it becomes a problem. When you set the speed control, it temporarily gives you a digital indication of the speed you set then goes back to tire pressure or whatever you have it set to. My wife loves her Encore. Its definitely not a man's car unless you need it for long commutes to work for fuel economy.
I have this car. It’s basically a hatchback stretched in Photoshop. Not saying that’s a bad thing, it has a lot of the advantages of a premium hatch but with the seating position of a suv. Some strange thing is that mine does have warming seats and a sunglasses holder replacing the driver’s handle. It is a 2018 Mexican spec top trim so maybe they fixed them on higher trim levels or just a year later.
Podgey! Loved your review of the 2017 Buick Encore! I just purchased a 2021 white Buick Encore with only 12,250 miles! I have had it about a week so far and I am loving it! Can we be Buick buddies?!
Super easy review and what most people will actually care about. The horsepower thing is kind of expected if you are getting good gas mileage for an suv. Like you wont get great gas mileage with a big horsepower car. either get great horsepower or great gas mileage. Or in the middle, but Not both
This is fantastic and your videos are awesome! Thanks a bunch. I've just graduated college and I've been looking for a new vehicle. I came across a 2017 Encore Preferred at a nearby dealership and something was telling me to check it out. This video definitely gives me a better idea of what I can expect if I buy it. I did test drive it and I totally agree that it takes a bit to get going. That was the only thing I didn't love about it. As long as it doesn't give me issues mechanically I think it would work out nicely.
thanks so much!! i have now had the car for 1 year and i still love it so much, it's exactly what i was looking for and fills all my needs. highly recommend! i hope you have great success in picking out a new car :)
Im trading my 2020 Colorado for one of this. My gas is killing me! But hopefully next year or 2 ill have that 2022 F-150 Raptor. I dont know if im please with that horsepower tho. 138HP low torque. I guess ill be driving like a grandma for a year or 2
Screen Cast you aren’t reviewing anything on your channel let alone producing anything interesting or creative period so you have no room to contribute your lame unwanted thoughts. Podge has more creativity in her shaved eyebrow than you do in your entire body. Get tossed nerd.

I just got this car I also love it great review the heated steering wheel and seat warmer so fire dude hahah
Love this video. Thanks for all the info. I have a 2017 Buick Encore Essence coming from Carvana on Wednesday so this really eased my mind.
It's been a few years now.
Has this vehicle proven reliable?
Did you have to replace the turbo?...more than once?
For the mats you could purchase preowned Buick encore unused on market place for cheaper cost.
Didn't they make other versions of that?

Man I wish I had heated seats and steering wheel. I too hate the one arm rest thing. That center console I hate the most!

This is an average review on your video... THAT TUB UNDER THE SEAT IS AWESOME!!! thanks bye
:) no thank you :)
Girl I just got this car and have had it and didn’t even know it had this 😵.... now 🤗🤩
When doing ANY review of ANYTHING...I suggest show THAT rather than show your mug. It's a very common problem for the women of UA-cam lately.
save some time and go watch a review done by a man if you don't want to see my mug
This comment is a very clown comment..

Did you even watch the video? Either you didn’t get past the first minute or you are a complete and total dum dum. Something tells me it’s latter.
