For college grads, school’s not just out for summer, it’s out for good and this major milestone deserves more than your average gift. If you’re looking for a great way to celebrate your son or daughter’s transition into adulthood, why not get them out of their old second-hand car and into a vehicle that’ll better serve their post-collegiate transportation needs? The Buick Encore is just such a vehicle and it’s been named on Autotrader’s list of 10 Best Cars for Recent College Graduates.
When it comes to commuting on a limited budget, the 2015 Encore is a perfect choice. Along with its competitive price and impressive EPA-estimated 28 mpg combined (25 city/33 highway), which it achieves with a turbocharged four-cylinder, six-speed automatic and front-wheel drive, Autotrader also lauded the crossover for having “sleek exterior styling” and “hatchbacklike dimensions [that] make it a cinch to park in tight spaces.” Editors were also impressed by the “premium vibe” and “bold color schemes” of Encore’s interior, as well as its solid build quality.
In addition to attractive looks, the SUV’s interior offers a host of tech features, such as an available navigation system that’ll help your college grad make it to job interviews without getting lost. Other notable amenities include Bluetooth Hands-Free Phone & Audio Streaming, a rearview camera, OnStar emergency communications and an infotainment system with smartphone app integration - all of which come standard on every trim level.
