Too Smooth
Our Enclave is approaching 4 years old. Current mileage is a little over 13,000. It's only driven locally and then for trips. We have had no problems and the dealer has been very good to us. We shopped a lot of SUVs before deciding on the Enclave. We didn't shop the any of the European brands, but most everything else. Our final three were the Enclave, Explorer Platinum, and the Mazda. The Mazda was probably the best for handling but seemed a little under powered, The Explorer Platinum had a whole lot of power and rode and drove very well. What the Enclave lacked in power, it more than made up for with ride and capacity. Plenty of room for 7 and and ample storage behind the third row. With the third row seats down, we have plenty of room for excursions to the mountains for 4 with no concerns for cargo space. The engine may not be as powerful as others, but it has enough for us including mountain driving. A couple of oil changes and a tire rotation I think is all it's needed. For us the Enclave has been such a pleasure to drive on long distance drives. When you reach your destination, you don't feel like a horse that's been rode hard and put away wet.

Patience Paid Off
Vehicles on my short list: Mazda CX9, GMC Acadia Denali, Ford Explorer and the Honda Pilot. I was looking for an AWD people and "stuff" hauler that could take the family cross country in comfort, the lawnmower in for a tune-up and pull a light-weight trailer. The Enclave was the last vehicle that I looked at and was hands down my favorite. The pros: Plenty of room inside; Captains chairs in the second row that make getting to the 3rd row a breeze; Quality materials throughout; Smooth, (really) quiet ride; Responsive acceleration and braking; It had the safety features I was looking for. The cons: Compared to my Lexus, the transmission shifts are rather rough (which is no surprise); The gas pedal is REALLY sensitive; and the City gas mileage isn't as good as I would have liked. Finally, I personally like the styling. It isn't the 3-row me-too design that I see almost everywhere else.

Back up camera is unreliable.
The belt buckle in the back seats are inside the seats and very uncomfortable. They cause bruises. I have had 2 accidents backing up. The camera didnt beep once. I looked both ways and someone just behind me.
White frost Enclave
This is very nice vehicle. Trim, comfort, looks, mileage, everything.

Glitz but no substance
Have a 2017 Buick Enclave. Drives AOK but interior was designed for glitz, NOT functional. Backup screen is totally antiquated. Screen way to small, poor visibility, and extremely poor with sunlight. This is the worst functional car for those who want a good back up screen. I rate it a huge minus 500. I had a Dodge that offered a viable screen. Very disappointed.
