My wife drives a 2015 Encore and loves it. We have taken that thing all over the place, from AZ all the way to Wyoming the first time. Drove straight there 14+ hours straight and comfy all the way. We have never had a problem with it either. For her its perfect, for me I would have liked something bigger to haul and tow. However I think that is why she got the Encore, so I wouldn't "borrow" it for picking up parts lol.
