2009 Buick Enclave consumer reviews

Plenty of legroom, stylish, great gas mileage and so comfortable. Purchased this car after searching high and low for something that would suit my family needs. After contemplating between this vehicle and a mini van, we went with this car and I haven't looked back.

It's been a great vehicle for our family of 4. The gas mileage is great and very dependable. No issues here.

It is horrible car to buy there transmission are junk lot problems had 104 one car I put 2000 now transmission slipping on me very upset

The ride is exceptional, the room is tremendous. A safe car. A car you will be proud to drive. A great tail gating car, with lots of room for all the goodies. Good performance.

Constant repair of Special Coverage that should have been recalls which caused this one to fail spent thousands of dollars and now its an ok car but Gm should have fixed this car the proper way thanks alot

I looked at a lot of suvs but now could compare to the Buick Enclave..drives and feels like a car, but has the room of a truck. A pleasure to look at and a joy to drive.

The worst experience of any vehicle I have ever owned. THe ENclave purchased new was my 6th GM suv purchased new and will be the last. From day one this car had issues. Check engine light came on every three months till the day I got rid of it Every coil in the car was replaced at least once and most twice Power steering went just as warranty expired. I replaced rack and pinion and pump. Car went into Limp mode so I took it to the dealer. Dealer said you have transmission slipping . I was no I do not it just went into limp mode. they told me I was low on Trans fluid. I said you guys flushed it maybe you didn't refill. They filled it I took it back. Then a week or so later had radiator flushed and noticed it was brown. HMM! Whats leaking in radiator. Flushed it a few days later brown again. HMM Ok I know radiator and trans fluid mixing. Ah I figured it out not the dealer . So had radiator replaced. Year later trans starts slipping, Had trans rebuilt So I get recall about power steering pump and GM then reimburses that repair I did years before Then I get recall about trans issues but my car had too many miles on it so they would not reimburse even though the dealer could have prevented my issues if they knew what they were doing. So because I actually like the style, the interior the way the car road I kept it longer then I should have. All in all I spent about $10,000 to keep this car on the road. Oh year hydraulics on lift gate and hood had to be replaced as well. Breaks three or four tome tires three or four times etc... that is standard stuff Note I change my oil like clockwork and do reg maintenance to my vehicles I have had probably 20 new cars in my life never an experience like this one. I would say avoid this vehicle like the plague unless you lease and turn it in 3 years or prior. if you look on forums you will see all of these issues repeated from others. My car just had them all lucky me

I have really loved my 2009 Buick Enclave for the past 3 years. However, once we had the car for 3 years, it started having problems. I've been in the repair shop about every 3 months. Everything from blinker problems, hydraulic lift on back door, oil pan leak, light controls in the interior sunk into the dashboard, and front lamp fell in as well. Plus more. Fortunately most has been covered under warranty. But, come on! It's ridiculous. I don't have time to go and leave my car for a few days every 3 months. I just had my car in 2 weeks ago for maitenance and some repairs. It was there for 4 days while we waited for a part. and NOW my MALFUNCTION INDICATOR Lamp is on! UGH! It's one thing after another. Very frustrating. I only drive about 12,000 miles a year too. I bought the car straight out - all cash. I should have leased it because, clearly it was not meant to last more than 3 years. We wanted to buy American, but look what we got! I will NOT buy a Buick again. I've had it. I'm sticking with Toyota or Honda for my next car purchase.

I bought my 2009 Buick Enclave about a month ago; it had about 65K miles at the time. My spouse and I absolutely love this vehicle. The smooth, quiet, comfortable ride is unbelievable! We have already put several thousand miles on the car under both highway and city driving. We have not gotten as good of gas mileage as advertised though. So far, we have averaged between 17 - 19 MPG. It is supposed to get 24 MPG on the highway. Besides the gas mileage issue, we have been totally pleased. After reading numerous reviews before buying our '09 model, I recommend buying an '09 or newer (288 HP engine). The engine's power is certainly sufficient for interstate driving as well as passing on two-lane roads.

This car drives so smooth and feels luxurious. This is my first Buick and it is not Grandma's car! I feel safe and the room is unbelievable. I wish there was a better cargo cover but other than that, I love it and so do my kids. I love the fact that it has a regular AC adapter in the back so you can put a wall charger and a regular car charger at the same time. You can also leave the car charger in while the car in not running. Helps when your battery is dying and the kids are using all other plugs.
