I purchased this car after 4 years of research on crossovers and SUVs. It was worth all the time and energy. This vehicle is easy to drive, loaded with extras, very comfortable and doesn't drive like an SUV at all. With the rear camera and parking assist, there are no worries backing out of my driveway or parking spots. The A/C cools rapidly in our very hot summers with very high humidity. It has a very tight turning radius and when this is combined with the variable speed steering - she is a breeze to manuever. I have received so many compliments when people see my new vehicle that I have lost count. I have fully enjoyed the first 6 weeks and look forward to many years of enjoyment.
Americans can build a great SUV!

The Enclave has great road feel and handling. It also has loads of cargo space. And in six years, I've had zero problems with it.

2012 Buick Enclave. Epic American Car Failure

This Truck should not even get a 1 star. I warned my wife not to get this vehicle. Based on price and past experience with these types of vehicles. Enclave only has 76K miles and has a stretched timing belt issue. Replaced Cams shaft position and crankshaft sensors. It does run better but code P00019 related to the Timing belt is still on. Not covered by warranty. I will never buy another one. Back to foreign cars. Had my Montero Sport for 15 years and never had an issue other than regular maintenance. Shameful! It's a beautiful piece of crap.

I fell in love with my 2012 Enclave when we bought it in 2014. Unfortunately it has been one big problem after another...A/C, drive train, transmission, etc. Thank goodness we bought the extended warranty. Even so, I loved this car bc it was roomy and stylish. Now it just died at 120K due to a broken fuel pump that killed the whole engine. I will miss my car--I loved the way it looked and how smoothly it drove. However, I won't be getting another one. :(

Found out after the fact, of course, from the repair shop that the enclave are notorious for transmission going, power steering pump, timing chain, and numerous other issues. My repair cost was 5000 for a vehicle I paid 8000 for a month earlier.
