Small doesn’t have to mean skimpy. The 2015 Buick Encore SUV may be compact, but its bold appearance, long list of luxury and electronic trappings and modern drivetrain make it an exceptionally good value.
If you don’t need AWD, there are a number of cool compact wagons and SUVs on the market, many with starting prices at or below $20,000. The Encore can’t go off-road, so if you need real SUV ability Subaru’s XV Crosstrek or the Jeep Renegade is probably a better choice.
