Don Kipp the sales person at the dealer showed us how to work every part of the Enclave we bought at Romain, the hands fee tailgate is wounder full, I like it when the Buick Emblem lights up on the ground, and the comfort is great.

This Enclave ESSENCE is a beautiful SUV. It is a wonderfully quiet and smooth riding vehicle. It makes highway driving a true pleasure and around town it is equally as satisfying to drive. However, the GM navigation system is erratic and they charge $150 + for periodic updates. That is ridiculous. I use Apple play and Google. Getting 28 mph on highway.

Have 15000 miles on 2018 Buick Enclave and for the second time the gears have locked up. Had new part installednat less than 5000 Miles and this morning I again had difficulty getting gear into reverse. Transmission light comes on again as it did the first time,,I am going to have to take car back again for repair.
Great car for long drives

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

We live in Mississippi and commute to Virginia where we have an apartment, a trip of 850 miles. We do this several times a year so a comfortable car is important. We have made the trip in two different Limited Highlanders, one a platinum, and a Jeep Grand Cherokee Summit. This Enclave Avenir beats them all. The long wheelbase helps it track well on the interstate and the 20-inch wheels absorb the bumps when you detour on two-lane roads. The front seats are fantastic and our friends rave about the back seats. There is more room than we ever need behind the seats, so it packs well. The car is quiet and the engine is smooth. The adaptive cruise control will take you to a dead stop and start you back up with the push of a button or a touch of the accelerator. The navigation and entertainment are great, but we use Apple Car Play with Waze and Pandora most of the time. The high-definition Pandora music sounds great on the sound system. I use the hands-free functions for calls and texts, so I never have to touch my phone which rides along with the screen off. Visibility is good and the controls are easy to use. Consumer Reports does not like the shifter. It is different, but only took me about three days to get accustomed to it. I do not understand their complaint. The only thing that I would add to it is rain sensing wipers. My last two vehicles had them and I was spoiled to them. However this remains the best road car that I have ever owned. UPDATE: We have had this vehicle for almost three years and I would not change a word of this review. It remains the best vehicle that we have ever owned. I typically trade ever year or two, but will probably keep this Enclave until the tires dry rot.
