The 2014 Buick Encore for buyers
CarmaCars is a rental company and does not have the 2014 Buick Encore for sale right now. Rent one for a week first, or ask us to look for one. Thinking about the 2014 Buick Encore? Here are the numbers in plain words and what to check.
What to check on the Encore
There are 4 NHTSA recall campaigns on file; a dealer can check by the VIN whether each was done. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. Owners filed 60 complaints with NHTSA, most often about engine, electrical system and power train; have those parts checked. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it.
Under the hood
Its powertrain is the 1.4L 4-cylinder turbo with front-wheel drive. It runs on regular gas. With front-wheel drive, the weight of the engine sits over the driven wheels, which helps in winter.
Plan on about 25 litres per 300 km; the combined rating is 8.4 L/100 km. Expect about $13.02 per 100 km at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$2,400 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.
A good match for
It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car. It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next.
Practical details
Being a compact SUV, it handles luggage, strollers and sports gear well.
Try before you buy
If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class. Rent it, live with it for a week, and decide with real experience. Rent first, buy later: a week with the Encore answers the big questions.
Which one to look for
Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it. If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first.
What it costs to run
At our price setting, 100 km costs about $13.02 in fuel. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $130.20 at our price setting. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary.
Next step
Send a request to rent the model you are thinking of buying.
Rent it for a week before you buy
A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. Rent a 2014 Buick Encore from us first.
