My 2014 Enclave
Overall I am mostly satisfied with the Enclave. I would have given it 5 stars across the board except for four things. The second row of seats are too firm and quite uncomfortable. At 27,000 miles the air conditioning evaporator was leaking and had to be replaced along with blower motor assembly. This was covered under warranty. Bumper to bumper warranty ended in February 2018. In July 2018 the brake power vacuum booster and to be replaced along with a HID bulb for the right front headlight. Neither was covered under warranty and the bulb cost $321.49 plus $130. I hope GM will use LED bulbs.

Air Conditioner Problem
Was told by Dealer Service Advisor that the air conditioner on my Buick Enclave and other GM SUVs have metal going through the blower motor and hitting the evaporator causing the evaporator to leak. Had to replace motor and evaporator that cost $1350.00. Technician or Service Advisor did not tell me where the metal came from, so I'm not sure whether the problem is fixed or will this problem occur again in the future. Any ideas where the metal comes from?

2014 Enclave
This vehicle is really a tremendous vehicle. It is unfortunately under powered but has a smooth and quiet ride . Gas mileage is terrible (17 or 18mpg). Maintenance has not been required in over 53,000mi.

Very uncomfortable seats
Really like the car and the drive however there is one huge issue that makes me wish I never bought this vehicle. Since I bought this car I have had major neck issues. The drivers seat neck rest is extremely uncomfortable and has created ongoing issues. I am upside down on the lease and have been told by two dealers that there is nothing they can do. Yet I understand they completely changed the head rest design in the newer models. My husband refuses to drive it because it is very uncomfortable for him as well. Does anyone have a solution or similar issue? I still have over a year left on the lease. Like the Buick but disappointed in the issue not being resolved.
Great ride and comfort.
I'm posting this review after after my wife has owned a 2014 Enclave for 18 months. I'm a truck guy but I love the level of comfort and ride in the Enclave. My wife also likes the styling and features such as the handy text-to-voice feature. I like the electro-luminescent strip that goes around the cockpit....super cool at night. She complains about the fuel economy which varies from 19 to 23 mpg but I'd be happy as a pig-in-$%(t to get that kind of mileage out of my truck. We've only had one repair since she bought it used but since it's now >60k we shouldn't be too surprised if it needs a repair now and then. We haven't had any engine/transmission/AC repairs like a lot of people have mentioned.

Cosmetic problems
Had several issues with the cosmetics : 1. Defect on the side of the console. Had to have it replaced 2. The seal around the windshield became warped. Had to be replaced 3. The vinyl on the front door is peeling, There seems to be a thin film coating on the vinyl that is peeling. It looks like dead skin. I just continued to peel it all off. There does not appear to be any damage for discoloration underneath the film.

2014 Buick Enclave Premium AWD
Great new car. Wife traded in the mini-van for good. Her only complaint to date is that the new Bose GPS/DVD system doesn't automatically set clock via GPS like every other GPS device made on earth.
Great Ride for a high cost!
When you can purchase the same engine and nearly identical body for a lesser price, it makes the Buick a poor value! I love the way it drives. Too many little technology glitches. Hard to find a good deal or great sale! There are other cars in the same family that are nearly identical for much less.

Luxury vehicle at a managable price
I've owned vans for quite some time, as they were perfect for hauling the family and pets on trips. I've had my Enclave now for 6 years and don't really have a bad thing to say about it. For it's size, it gets decent MPG. It's quiet, roomy, good pick-up, no issues pulling my boat, and feels quiet luxurious inside.
