Bought brand new, it’s been in the shop for warranty work at least a dozen times in the year I’ve owned it. Had the radio (the brains of the vehicle, their words) replaced twice. Still have on going issues. Took it in for check engine light and it not going from reverse to drive to be told it coded for transmission issues. Got a call today that said the “shifter” had something spilled on it and that caused a complete malfunction of the shifter and transmission. Nothing was spilled as far as I know, but shouldn’t that be resistant to fluid?? This vehicle is a lemon and truely the worst vehicle I have ever owned.

First Buick I have owned. Very much like our Chevy Traverse but, with a lot more features. Ride is great and the interior finishes are good quality. we are impressed with the amount of computerized sensors and cameras on this vehicle.

I had the 2022 Enclave as a rental car for a couple of weeks, and I was impressed. Very quiet and comfortable to drive, driving over bumps and railroad crossings with minimal fuss. Plenty of convenient features, coupled with an intelligent, intuitive infotainment system, none of which ever felt gimmicky or distracting. One of the best 360-degree and backup camera systems I've used. Controls are pleasant to use and well laid-out, including on the steering wheel. (Take lessons, VW!) Even the auto-stop system, which I normally loathe, wasn't bothersome. Partly because it's quiet and barely noticeable; mostly because it's a rental car, so I'm not losing sleep over the longevity of the starter. My kids loved the captain's chairs, rear climate control, and wireless Android Auto, which allowed them to play music off my phone in the back of the car (while I could still see directions on the vehicle screen). The only sour note was having a dash partially covered with leatherette, with the rest being hard plastic. It looked weird and cheap; Buick should have at least done a better job color matching. At first I didn't care for the button-push gear selector, but it was never overly bothersome. I grew to appreciate it based on the storage underneath: I could fit a box of Kleenex there, keeping it reachable and out of the way! (Yes, it's silly to get excited about "Kleenex storage" in a vehicle costing $50k, but hey, I have allergies...) I'm not in the market for a vehicle this large, but if I were, the Enclave would be a contender. It's been a good couple of weeks driving it around.

My husband drives the Buick Enclave and the 2018 we traded in using CarMax at the dealership for our trade in had 143,000 miles on it. We keep our vehicles well maintained, so it served us well with little to no issues! My husband did look at other brands, but ultimately decided on another Buick Enclave! It is a great vehicle with a lot of room and actually has a 3rd row seat the adults can fit in comfortably. The ride is very smooth and the Apple Car play technology is great! I especially like the "My Buick" app because you can start the car from anywhere especially on a cold Cleveland winter night and you can check to make sure you locked your car, etc. GM did something right when they developed the Buick Enclave. It is not just your "grandpas" car anymore!
