New Intellink Review

I just leased a 2013 Buick Enclave with Intellink. I had a 2010 Enclave and loved it. The Intellink is all touch buttons including the Emergency Flashers located just under the radio. When changing the radio I inadvertently touch the flasher button and turn them on . This happens daily. Fog lights are no longer available. I used them all the time. You better check with Buick to see which Smart Phones will work with Intellink. It cost me $600 to purchase a new phone when after several days and phones call I found out my HTC Rezound would not pair up. The Iphone 5 will not either. Surprise! Now that I bought a new phone Pandora still won't load.

Disappointed with the 2013 Enclave

Back in 2008 the Buick Enclave was a work of art, a revolution in cross-over SUV vehicles. Unfortunately, I do not feel the same about the 2013 Enclave. Buick did add some features, but they also removed or downgraded some important things. The big selling point of this vehicle was supposed to be the Intellilink system with enhanced navigation, but then they made the touchscreen smaller than before? Other things like Pandora, Stitcher, Photoviewer simply do not work. Are they really selling a $50,000 vehicle that isn't even compatible with an iPhone? Are you kidding me? There is also an occastional low rumbling noise in the engine manifold when the vehicle is idling at a stoplight.

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.

Second best car I ever owned

Update 04/03/2020.. still no issues and still love the car. I owned a 1992 Buick LaSabre which I sold in 2000 with 190,000 miles on it and never had a major repair . So far this Enclave almost exceeds that vehicle. If it were only easier to get in and out of the second and third row seats. They should have installed a grip handle in the second row.

Classy, sophisticated ride!

Great running automobile. Quiet. Peppy when needed. Comfortable on long as well as short trips. All of the instrumentation takes time to get accustomed to, and can be somewhat intimidating to those of us who are electronically challenged. The manual must be consulted frequently. Gasoline mileage is adequate for the size of the car, but not outstanding. One should not purchase this SUV with the idea of saving money at the gas pump.
