That you never want your destination to be reached. It is as comfortable as sitting in your favorite recliner at home.

Room for improvement-interior, safety, transmissio

Interior: Although the Buick Enclave has ample passenger and cargo space, it pales in comparison to even a small car for cup holders and "cubbies". The cupholders are useless because they are so small and add odd angles. Obviously the engineers never actually tried to use them. The same goes for "cubbies". The area in front of transmission joystick is so small I cannot even fit my hand in to retrieve a phone. The USB charge points are pulled forward in this same space, but when a cord is plugged in, it blocks the little access that is available. There is a space under the center console that has opening between both the driver and passenger seats. This is also hard to reach and have to be careful what you place in there so it does no fall out and under the gas or brake pedal. Also when equipped with the power fold down third row seatbacks, there is only one way to raise and lower them. The power buttons are located in the rear of the vehicle and you must open the rear liftgate to get to them. There is no other way to do this from any place else in the car or on the key FOB. Safety: This is a 7 passenger vehicle and equipped with only 6 head restraints - there is not one in the middle 3rd row seat. Transmission: We purchased with only 25,000 miles and began noticing there is a shudder in transmission when accelerating from a stopped position.

I’m 5’10” and my husband is 6’5”; we have a hard time finding vehicles we like AND fit in. We would have given it 5-stars but have an issue with door molding by the door handles. The doors have a protruding edge which hinders the ability to put your hand behind the door handle without rings etching the top of the hand hold. I brought this to the dealers attention to see if they had a protective barrier to prevent further etching. They stated I was the first to ever say anything about it, but immediately after examining the door handle, they had the same issue.

I just purchased my second pre-owned Buick Enclave Premium. I love it! It rides smooth, looks great and has all of the bells and whistles. I needed the extra room to fit grandkids car seats and boosters. It fits the bill.
