First let it be known that I am a 22 year old male.. certainly not the traditional Buick customer. I lucked into getting this car for a 7-day rental period, and was incredibly impressed. Over the course of the week I put on approximately 1100 miles and found the new Enclave to be fantastic in terms of comfort, gas mileage (avg 25mpg in mixed driving), and performance. Additionally, I have a fair bit of experience with a 2012 Enclave that my mother had previously owned. Without question, the 2019 blows the older model away in every aspect. In fact, if I choose to shop for a newer SUV in the future, I would be taking a very serious look at a new Buick.

Buyer beware of the Check Engine light!

Our issues began 2 days after leasing a brand new 2019 Enclave. The check engine light came on at least once a month but no one could tell me why. Fast forward, 20 months later, and it died on us in the pouring rain. It was the Chassis Control Module. Once fixed, the heat was broken. Now it was the HVAC Control Module. 2 modules in 2 days! This car is way too expensive to not trust it. I only gave it 2 stars because it's very comfortable and well built! But a working transmission is a little more necessary.

Any vehicle that requires a college course to use the Automatic shifter... Just walk away. I never know when this thing will go into gear or not. Which gear it will go into. An auto stick with 4 movement directions and 2 or 3 buttons??? 10yr old must have designed this. Dash controls just as useless. No manual button for AC control on dash. Fan speed has push buttons instead of a dial. If you use screen for adjustments you can't adjust music and ventilation at same time. Volume control is unpredictable and largely uncontrollable. MODE buttons are too close together in touch screen. Half the time I get the wrong mode. A huge distraction from DRIVING. And 2 of the modes we hardly ever use anyway. Shouldn't even be in the mix. Air vents can't be adjusted for tall people. I can't get steering wheel into a comfortable position for long trips and requires use of pillows on both arm rests to be comfortable. A silly pull out shelf in armrest...weak. Overpriced. Pros...strong power train, large interior, decent handling
Mediocre at Best

Whining rear end .... yes .... loose seals on windows ....yes... rattling and banging inside ....yes... inferior transmission ...yes. ..... short seats ....yes ..... the negative reviews are probably more truthful .... Good points unfortunately are outweighed. This product could have been finished better . Sorry

Leased a 2019 Buick Enclave from McGuire Buick in North Bergen and had a wonderful experience. Went in only for a test drive and left with a new car. I highly recommend this car and dealership.
