"I really like what have done with the new Buick Enclave 2013; - they have rectified some of problem ares that are present in previous models. - fixed the water leaking down on the right front passenger side. - interior is completely redesign with stitched leather finishes, ambient lighting and beautiful wood trims. - Suspension feels more sporty but yet still comfortable ride. - big improvement in transmission area...it is more responsive, does not role backwards on slopes and shifts very well. Which offers a slight improvement gas mileage. - push buttons replaced with touch sensitive buttons - newly redesigned headlights as well as tail lights - no winding noise from the steering column. - no winding noise when turning left/right from power steering system. - LED daytime running lights. - Several newer colors to choose from. - directional indicator is much softer, not as loud in previous models. - exhausted tips replace with more expressive style tail pipes replacement. - newer grill"

"Wow. This refreshed Enclave is superior in every way (contrary to some auto critics' opinions). Pictures do not do justice to the improvement in the design, especially the front end. Relatively small changes have brought the vehicle into proper proportion and stance. I frankly used to be embarrassed by the appearance of my wife's 2010 Enclave; I am proud to drive the 2013. Even though the grill is larger, it no longer seems to point skyward like an ugly snout, but rather appears more to be forward-facing, in alignment with the rest of the lines of the vehicle. I love this change. Ride, handing, transmission are all much better. Shifts are faster and seamless. Interior quality--contrary to some critics--is WAY better, with much higher quality materials, lines that flow beautifully such as from the doors to the dash, and tasteful ambient lighting. The car is noticeably quieter than the previous iteration, smoother, delivering more of a Lexus-like ride experience in my opinion. The Enclave at last feels like a luxury vehicle. I immediately noticed the front seats are much more comfortable, noticeably more padded but still sufficiently firm. The headrests now are adjustable up, down, and fore/aft, really a big improvement. HVAC stays on the dash with it's own controls which are beautiful to behold and a big step up from the original. No need to access the touchscreen for any environmental controls. The infotainment system can be used with touch-sensitive "buttons" off to the side of the touchscreen, and if the system is left on the radio setting, using the touchscreen seems to be optional. Technophobes, fear not. I just love the vehicle and feel that the update is major, and anyone looking at a new Enclave should forego the remaining 2012's. The 2013 Enclave is a tremendously improved vehicle. Drive it!"
