A Truly Awesome Vehicle

I absolutely love this car. It is the ultimate family vehicle and still offers style and comfort like in an upscale SUV. Pricing is high though, ours stickered just over $50k. We went from a 2007 Chrysler Aspen (full- size) and don't miss any space. Fuel Economy is great, we average about 18 city, 24 highway, sometimes even better! Very Luxurious, after all it's a Buick!

Never again

This is the fourth Buick vehicle I have owned and the worst. I bought it used with 60K miles on the clock. I also purchased an extended warranty that was completely worthless as it covered none of the repairs. First lost the high pressure fuel pump, then 2 catylytic converters. The batteries died twice. The electrical system is extremely buggy as the check engine light of the week happens and most times magically disappears.The front blower fan shorted out due to water leakage from somewhere. I never did find the source. I have had the power steering issue. And at 130K miles the motor self destructed due to the timing chain issue. I have always driven a lot of miles with my vehicles and have NEVER had to replace a timing chain or catylytic converter. While I enjoy the comfortable ride and road presence of the car, it is sadly a money pit. I have nearly $10k invested in repairs. I have nearly 200k miles on the clock now and I calculate I will need to go another 30 to run out my warranty on the replacement motor. When she dies, I will probably look hard at the import offerings.

I saw the Enclave about a year ago and started my research immediately. Compared to all the other sport looking crossovers, with a three pass third row seat, the Buick has the most standard features at a better or comparable price point. I had a Tahoe, and I loved it, except for the cargo behind the third row, I couldn't even fit a standard stroller back there, so this time I was looking for the passenger room and functionality, and I found it. My kids can easily access the third row. It has all the pretty things that I wanted, to include the dual sun roofs and power liftgate. It looks hot, drives like a dream, and made all my friends jealous! And, you can't beat the warranty! Thanks!

Gorgeous Car with Great Ride

Wonderful, beautiful vehicle that handles and rides with ease. Intown mpg so far is 20.7 mpg which is great. Love everything about it especially the driver memory and safety backup camera. Only things that need improvement are more cup holders in front and more storage room suitable for CD's. As a woman, I would love somewhere to put my purse. We are looking forward to some road trips and many years of driving pleasure with this great car. GM Buick has hit a home run with this fantastic car. The foreign cars (Lexus, etc) that are in the same class, well, they just aren't. The Enclave is extremely nice. It has a smooth, quiet ride and can go toe to toe with any of the others. Love it!
