Updated review: I will never buy a GM Product again based on my experience with customer service and incompetent technology. How would a buyer know if you could have a cell phone or a large drink (in the cup holder) in the front seat? The service notices are not easily available to buyer. I now drive a Lexus. And behold the phone and the iPad and the laptop do not interfere with the seatbelt or air bag deployment. The seat belt alarm keeps going off in my 2012 Enclave. The dealer gave me a service notice ID 3120743/ 08-09-41-0071. This states that any electronic device in the front seat or audio cords or large drinks will cause the seat belt alarm to ping. This is NOT TO BE REPAIRED. If you want a cell phone, iPad or audio cord in the front you have to click the seat belt. GM can not give me any assurance that with said interference the air bags will deploy. GM Customer Service stated "The Vehicle is designed to do that" REALLY? I don't think so. They inadequately shielded the module and now don't want to fix it.

Enclave Built to fail

The Enclave and maybe most cars are built to fail overtime versus over use or mileage. Those little white parts become brittle and break. My Enclave with 49,000 miles needed new tires, struts, shocks, motor mounts!! ,break booster and more. The transmission is slipping

Never thought I’d own a Buick... but

Okay so I never thought I would own a Buick. But we were searching for a family vehicle that was large enough and wasn’t a giant suv, or a mini van. Voila, we found a 2012 Buick Enclave with 3rd row. Who knew? It seats 8! The rear and 3rd seats are adjustable and folding. Big plus! The rear cargo space is very nice when 3rd row is folded... can still fit suitcases and luggage when using the third row... but we ended up getting a roof rack cargo box for trips. The seats are relatively easily lifted up to clean under them, which is great when you have kids. The next plus was that it is AWD. We love in WI and this was a must for us. And after a nasty winter here, I can say I admire the awd of my Buick. I’m used to driving a Subaru and this stood up pretty good! I didn’t slip, I had continual traction, and it seemed eager to plow through the snow. The next big thing for us was the fact it can actually tow! We made sure it had a tow package, and it can easily handle a pop up camper. It has a fancy little switch on the dash for towing. We still had a smooth ride despite towing a big gawky camper behind us! We did not get one that has any extra gadgets on the inside (no dvds, or naviahtion) but I would rate 9/10 for it.
