I have loved the Enclave since it came out. I have owned a 2011 which I loved. When the 2015's came out I had to have one. Loved everything about this one. Had A LOT of upgrades from my 2011. I have always liked the luxury feel of the Enclave. With each year they seemed to get better until the 2018. I traded my 2015 because of the milage and the 2018 seemed sleeker and more streamlined. I bought with my romance of the vehicle and should have looked it over a little more before pulling the trigger. They have taken the luxury out of this vehicle. From the interior to the exterior. After having it for the past couple months I have found the transmission to be clunky and jumpy. Especially sitting at a full stop to accelerating the vehicle can lurch and feel like something is not shifting right. I took it into the dealer and the put a computer upgrade into it, but it still does the same thing, so I will be taking it back. I believe Buick has missed the mark on this one. The interior is not as comfortable and has a more Toyota, Honda, and other foreign car sanitized feel to it (More cheaply made). If I were wanting to buy another one or if a friend I knew wanted one. I would tell them to stay away from a new one and look for a 2015 model with low mile. TEST drive this vehicle before buying!

After driving a Durango, Explorer, Acura, and Highlander, I drove the Buick. It smoked the other cars as far as driver engagement, performance and feel on the highway, and it was by far the most QUIET of all the SUV's, by a wide margin. We bought one 3 years old with 21K miles and added a 5-year 75K bumper to bumper warranty so we can enjoy it. The warranty is only 45 bucks a month and covers everything with great benefits if it is ever needed while on a trip. Buick upped their game. I am very happy, a great touring SUV
