BIG FYI: a single headlight bulb costs nearly $500 to replace! Wow! I bought our family's 2013 Enclave new and had a couple of smaller light bulbs burn out while still in warranty. The kicker came when a headlight bulb only lasted 3 years. Just know that that little bulb will cost you nearly $1000.00 when they both burn out! Buick should be ashamed of this. And unfortunately, this means we have no choice but to head back to non-American cars when we get a new car this spring. Good bye Buick, I'm not in the business of these kinds of surprises.

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

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.

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.
