I am the original owner of a 2018 Enclave Premium AWD. Vehicle came fully loaded, love the space, cargo is great, technology and overall ride. It's had its quirks since day one that never threw codes and the dealership could not replicate. After reversing, once in drive the car would randomly act like it was going to die before finally engaging. After driving long distances, shifting would stick and we'd have to put the car in park and back into drive to reengage. At 100k miles, I had to replace the air conditioner, which is a costly repair. It now has an engine sputter when accelerating and I have been told it needs a new transmission. So, needless to say, great to about 80k miles. After that, it seems to be falling apart.

2018 Buick Enclave Avenir 4dr SUV AWD (3.6L 6cyl 9A)

Avenir technology choices very poor. The manual isn't clear when trying to make selections and settings for the instrument cluster and controls Very limited selections, too. Can't disable Auto start/stop. Adaptive cruise radar system works pretty good but stopping distance is too close to vehicle in front. Not at all happy with the limited selections in settings. Chrysler is so far better than GM in this regard.

WHAT CONTROL KNOB?

This car and all the Buick's that I'm aware of, don't have a control knob on the console. Such a control knob would control the screen. With the up/down control would control the icons on the screen and a center push-button would select an icon. Without a console control knob all screen selections would need to be accomplished reaching the touch screen.
