Love the features of the Buick Enclave, the entertainment center is really great for long trips or even short trips, the grandkids love watching their favorite DVD Movies with the wireless headphones, all in all the memory driver seat 1 and 2 is nice to have your seat is already set for you, the ride is so smooth that after a 900 or more mile trip you don't feel sore or worked out, the heated seats are a must especially in winter, the remote start heats everything up so you get into a nice warm vehicle. There is not anything I do not like about this Vehicle, yeah just thought of it, which is not a bad thing no worse than having a vehicle coming towards you with alot of chrome on it on a very bright sunny day, but anyways the chrome around the dash gets blinding at times with the sun glare off the chrome, the rest is nothing but excellence when they came to engineering the Buick enclave SUV , which we have the rear wheel drive not the AWD, I believe the 2 wd rear drive , drives better than the AWD, but that's my preference. 3rd roll seat is very nice, fuel milage better than expected. 100% Love this vehicle

I bought this car so myself and our family could travel comfortably and this meets that standard completely - Coming from a subaru outback the fuel economy downgrade is considerable however - this car is fun, very big and makes traveling with kids easy. - I highly reccomend to anyone looking for a luxury SUV - I test drove the X5 and other luxury vehicles and they did not have all the features as the enclave plus they were more money. The only downside to this vehicle is you don't get the 15k bmw or mercedes logo - however you do get many more useful features.

I really enjoy the overall appearance of the Enclave (has a bold yet eligant look). I am a bit disappointed with the shifting and pickup not being as smooth as I would have expected, but overall this is a class vehicle.

Absolutely can't believe that I am saying this, but this Buick is the most amazingly comfortable and stylish vehicle we have ever owned. Coming from many Japanese SUV's (Toyotas and Nissans) we had boiled it down to a Lexus RX350, Audi Q5, and the Acura MDX, when we passed an Enclave on the road one day and my wife said... what was that. We were at the Buick dealership 30 minutes later, and after a test drive my wife fell in love. It doesn't even sound right when I say we bought a Buick, but this is no Buick of yesteryear. Way to go GM!

The ride was incredible the comfort was out of this world. Then the engine light came on. Engineer flies in from GM, to find what he feels is a clearance problem with the head. We had the car for almost two weeks and has been at the shop for almost two and half weeks. He is not even sure a new head will fix the problem. I hope GM stands behind their product. 1,500 miles on vehicle
