I purchased the 2008 Buick Enclave loaded in 2008 as I wanted a Luxury SUV and wanted to support the American Car Maker's in time of crisis. I made a huge mistake! My car has had every seals replaced since I purchased it and barely has 60,000 miles on it. The car has been serviced and taken care of routinely by GMC since I purchased and babied since 2008. The engine seals went out at 30,000 miles, numerous times the airconditioning system has been fixed over and over for problems (4+ times), steering gear/drive problems, water pump seals, rear tail gate piston's replaced, leaking sunroof due to drain tubes plugging up from bad engineering, etc., etc. etc. GMC has not taken responsibitlity for the sun roof and I will never buy another GMC product again. The car is beautiful and comfortable but the biggest lemon and disappointment I have ever purchased.

I bought my Enclave used. Such a beautiful car with plenty of room for extra kids but I really wish I hadn't. Motor went out at about 138,000 miles. I only had it 6 months or so. I am bummed. I would have to replace the motor which is really pricey. Also the sunroof leaks and I feel Buick should've recalled the seal because I have heard many enclave reviews complaing about leaky sunroofs. I would not recommend this car to anyone I know. Only reason I gave it 2 stars is because it's a luxurious car with a nice look.

Know that no other car will live up to all reviews. Very well built and with quality materials. Interior space cannot be matched in any other fine automobile.
