"Bought it 6 months old and saved $15,000 off new car sticker. Only way to go..... paid $35k on a 50K original cost."

"I had already driven my 2011 Buick Enclave 59,500 miles when I traded it in in on the 2012 model. I typically put about 30,000 miles per year on a vehicle here in my retirement years. The 2011 was a great vehicle with no problems experienced. Only have put a couple thousands miles on the new one, but it performs just as well. Both have been the AWD with trailering pkg. Get 15-17 mpg city and 22 mpg on the interstate at 70 mph. Have had to get a couple of scratches repaired. The white diamond tricoat makes for a hard repair at the paint shop."

"I love this car. Just a few annoyances: First, there are no places to hang up a hanger or jacket except in the rear compartment. Second, the XM radio reception does not even match my friends rental car (Dodge Journey) - REALLY disappointing. Third, there are no backup lines in the rear view camera display. Even a Ford Explorer had that. This is a $60k car and this should be standard stuff! But I still love it."

"My complaint isn't with the gas mileage, i've had worse, my biggest complaint is the fact that i step on the gas and it has to (think) about going. When i push the gas i want to know i can rely on my car to GO. Also have complaints about the navigations system, dvd player (didn't know you had to put the dvd in the front), back hatch button is hard to find and takes forever to open, seats too hard, the car is VERY quiet until you turn on the heat or air, i've never heard it coming out of the vents before in my other cars. Kind of takes away from the fact they spent so much time & money on making this car so extremely quiet when you turn on the air and it's loud. Do not like the options on the xm system, but do love the sound of the stereo. Not enough cupholders or extra storage room, for a vehicle that is so roomy why not put in a couple of extras. Have had compliments on the look of my car, but i've been quick to tell them how disappointed i am."

"LOVE THIS CAR! TRADED IN MY 2009 EDGE FOR IT. SUPER COMFORTABLE, LOVE THE HEATED LEATHER SEATS, REAR VIEW CAMERA, XM RADIO, ALL THE TOYS. NOT HUGE ENGINE BUT IS ENOUGH FOR ME. NOT GREAT GAS MILLAGE BUT THAT'S NOT WHAT I BOUGHT IT FOR. WAS ALSO LOOKING AT CADILLAC AND LEXUS, BUT THE ENCLAVE WON US OVER."

"The exterior of the car is really pretty, the inside has a lot of usable space and is very comfortable. Rides very nice. Is a gas guzzler though."

"My new Enclave provides a better ride and a quieter interior at cruising speeds, when compared to the Cadillac Deville it replaced. I loved my Deville for over 90k miles, and it was still great when I sold it. This Enclave, has everything grandparents need (more seats, more space, new tech) and is a fine replacement for the Cadillac. We compared the Cadillac SRX and found the Enclave had more useable space, an equal level of luxury, and some features not available on the Cadillac, like power tilt/telescope wheel. Would like a heated steering wheel and proximity lock/unlock, but those were not deal-breakers."

"The Enclave is a great car, comfortable, smooth, and roomy. The fuel economy is not quite what I expected, but so far, we are satisfied. There are a few blind spots, but the large rearview mirrors and back-up cameras make us for it."

"It is a very pretty suv. I like the fact that it is sporty looking. It is very quite and has a lot of power. It will not get over 18.5 gallons on gas,but I only have 2000 miles on it,I am hoping it will improve.I have short legs,I am only 5'2 and had a runnung board put on it in order to get in it better. It is too far off the ground."
