I traded in my 2004 Rainier and purchased my 2012 White Diamond AWD Premium Enclave a few days ago. It was very hard trying to decide between the Enclave, the Acadia Denali and the Cadillac SRX. After driving all three, the Enclave was the hands down winner. It is roomy, elegant, smooth, quiet, and very luxurious. It was a bit pricey - even more expensive than my 2003 Yukon Denali XL - but it is worth it. This vehicle is loaded with every amenity you can think of!
Buick has come a long way!!!!!

If you’re not a confident DIY mechanic, this vehicle might sink you. I bought our 2012 Enclave from an older couple who babied it and did all the scheduled maintenance through their dealership. That didn’t matter. As soon as I took possession the problems started. Now imagine the following needing to be replaced at about 4 month intervals: power steering pump, alternator, water pump, ignition coil packs, purge valve, rear wheel bearing, transmission torque converter, other rear wheel bearing, pvc valve, accelerator module (gas pedal), purge valve, front struts, and transmission control module. It also burns oil and/or has oil blow by to the tune of three qts of oil every 5000 miles. I now add a qt of oil every 1000 miles and change oil every 3000 to 4000 miles. While the cabin is quiet and comfortable, and the ride is superbly smooth… the drive train is complete garbage. The only saving grace is that I did all the repairs myself, other than the torque converter. Otherwise it would likely have been close to $10,000 in parts and labor at some other mechanic. I don’t know how GM gets away with this kind of quality. I know I for one will never be buying another GM product.

Great car for reliability and all around comfort. Al lot of room. Minimal maintenance to keep top notch performance. Had the vehicle for 12 years and was a charm. Just decided to trade the vehicle in for an other.
