Granted it is a smaller and lighter package by about ~500 lbs on the similar twins, the power deficent of the 1.4T can be overcome a Trifecta ecu and transmission tune. For around $20K the FWD is a real bargain with most owners seeing mid-30's in mixed driving as the car breaks in. I really like the Encore on highway ramp sweepers as I watch traffic drop off in my rear view mirror. The base Encore with AWD was less than $24,000 new and includes Bose Active Noise Cancelation(ANC) which is great for highway road noise and the all too familar iron block sounds that remind us of Saabs. Repair cost should be about the lowest as the engine and transmission is shared with a number of platforms.
This car is very liveable as I could make it my sole vehicle as it checks all of the boxes in performance, handling, braking, and ;uxury in a small package.
