The regular 1.4L turbo is adequate for the purpose of this vehicle. We have a AWD Preferred model and get 30mpg combined. On a a 1700 mile drive that included driving up to 4700ft on some mountains I averaged 33 mpg.

As a kid I loved watching motorweek on PBS. At that time there were not any other options, now these videos, with the exact same format, John Davis’ voice almost sounds as if he’s reading a script put together by the manufactures. Of all the cars reviewed in the decades of MotorWeek, they really haven’t driven a complete pile of garbage?! Heck, they probably even complemented the Aztec’s ‘futuristic rugged design’ back in 2005. Motorweek, be more conservative with your compliments, more direct with criticisms, and I bet you’ll grow audiences with more sincere reviews.

I got a 2017 Encore Preferred AWD, got it new for $16,750. Has to be the cheapest New AWD vehicle. I'm not in love with the look of it from the outside, but it looks great from the driver seat, and drives nice. Good deal if you ask me. But I don't think its worth $26,000 so DON'T PAY THE STICKER PRICE!

Please review the 2016 / 2017 Chevrolet Spark. It's an all new redesign that's monumentally different than the original Spark. I LOVE MotorWeek reviews and would really enjoy seeing the new Spark put through it's paces.

What a weird car. It's supposedly a luxury vehicle, but it's a subcompact? It's almost as weird as the old Chrysler LeBarons from the 1980s. I bet they'll disappear after 10 years.

Whats really weird is the little chicken leg arm rest attached only to the driver's seat, leaving the passenger seat with nothing, And no console just a pathetic little plastic cubby hole thing behind the emergency brake. The identical opel/vauxhall mokka in Italy and the UK as a nice center console/arm rest for both driver and passenger. Seems these big auto corporations always shaft Americans on these vehicles while giving the people overseas the better options. The opel mokka also has a 10" standard backup camera/navigation screen and a 12" optional one. The American version only gets and 8".

Well it does have over 170 torque at a fairly low RPM. That is what will launch the vehicle. The 158HP FWD model will get to 60 in 7.8 seconds and the AWD is 8.6 seconds. It is only .9 seconds slower then the NX for less money and also doesn’t require premium gas unlike the Lexus.

It's an excellent car. I like how all these sheeple pretend like American cars are the worst cars on the road when in reality, Japanese and German cars have the same if not similar problems with reliability. Jesus Christ people get your preconceived notions against American cars out of your head. Another thing: if you're not an American, your opinion doesn't matter on Motorweek and other American car shows. I don't go watch Holden or Vauxhall reviews and bitch about the cars in the comments. If you're not American, your opinions don't matter in this car and they never will.

Let me get this straight. The Lexus has a better interior, better reliability, holds a better value and is far more powerful. The Lexus NX makes 194 to 225hp that hit 60 in 7.2 and Buicks top motor makes 153 with alot less torque... Yeah the Lexus is alittle more but GM really is going to have to discount this thing at $31k.
