I like the vehicle over all, but the seats are uncomfortable, the leather is nice but, they need to add some cushion in them, instead of sitting in the seat we are sitting on them. My 2017 Ford F150 XLT has better interior, the seats are far more comfortable to sit in, not on them. My update... the seats are still to hard , our old 2008 Buick Lucerne had nice comfortable soft seats , why did Buick cheapen them so much ... My 2017 Ford F150 XLT has nicer interior more comfortable to ride in than any Enclave ... sorry i bought the Buick .. 😫 1/11/20 up date, traded the our Buick Enclave for a new Ford Expedition XLT.... much better interior more comfortable to ride in. We tried a new 2020 Enclave, the seats are still uncomfortable , after 4 years interior hasn't changed.

I've owned two Dodge Durangos (first a 2012 V6 model, now a 2015 RT Hemi) and found myself spending a week with the Enclave during a work trip. High points of the Enclave are generously sized cargo and seating areas, smooth freeway sailing, and overall comfort. The cargo area seems to be quite a bit larger than my Durango. However once you get off the interstate and onto the twisties, the Enclave shows it's weak spots. In my rental with 20,000 miles, the transmission hunts for gears, is slow to respond, and can be clunky as it tries to keep up. Switching to low for engine braking on steep downgrades is not terribly effective in this vehicle, nor is it smooth. Low speed cornering is controlled and predictable, but at moderate or greater speeds there is quite a bit of body roll. Getting into technology - the audio system (this one did not have Nav) was not intuitive. I'm sure you get used to it as you own it, but the system of menus and sub menus seemed oddly organized. Dodge/Chrysler is miles ahead with the UConnect system, and I would also rate this well behind the system in Toyotas that I have rented. THe interior material quality also is not what I expect for the price range. Granted, rentals do get abused, but the high gloss console surfaces appear to be easily scratched, and the dull black plastic center stacks look cheap. Lastly, there were a number of odd noises that I would not expect from a new vehicle with this mileage. Creaks and groans from the suspension were noticeable over the rough roads of New Jersey. To anyone considering one of these, I urge you to check out the competition closely, especially the Durango (I feel that the Durango handling is worlds beyond the Buick, and with the V8, so is the power). You can do better than the Enclave for the money.

Owned a 2011 Enclave and the engine blew a piston through the oil pan at 14000 miles. Bought a 2016 Enclave and the transmission went completely out with 41K miles. These cars are not well made and I do not recommend.

Transmission went out at 56,000 miles. When you spend this much money on a car you expect it to last more than a year and a half. Do not waste your money. Go with a more reliable vehicle.
