The 2015 Buick Encore for buyers
We rent cars and sell one only now and then. There is no 2015 Buick Encore for sale by us right now. Before you buy the 2015 Buick Encore, here is what the figures say and what to look at.
Before you sign for the Encore
Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car. Owners filed 124 complaints with NHTSA, most often about electrical system, engine and steering; have those parts checked. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered.
Engine and fuel
The powertrain here is the 1.4L 4-cylinder turbo with front-wheel drive and a 6-speed automatic. It runs on regular gas. With front-wheel drive, the weight of the engine sits over the driven wheels, which helps in winter.
It is rated 8.4 L/100 km combined: about 25 litres every 300 km. Driving 300 km costs roughly $39.06 at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$2,400 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Who rents the Encore
It suits a work trip where a reliable car matters more than anything else. It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car.
How big it is
An SUV body means more headroom and a taller cargo opening than a car of the same length.
Try before you buy
A week with the Encore answers more than any brochure. Rent the Encore first, and buy only if it fits your life. Rent the Encore for a week and see how it fits your life.
Which one to look for
Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary.
The cost of driving it
The EPA estimates US$2,400 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. 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.
Let us know
Ask about renting first, and buy with a clear head.
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 2015 Buick Encore from us first.
Find me this car
Tell us your budget and when you want to buy; we look for a 2015 Buick Encore for you and reply within one business day.
