The car is comfortable and quiet.

The car is comfortable and quiet. It is roomy and gets decent fuel mileage for its size. The Buick has good horsepower. We bought it at a great price. However, we had a shuddering problem and we had transmission work. Occasionally it will display a faulty check engine light or some other indicator, but the indicator usually clears up on its own. We have received our moneys worth after purchasing this car. I think newer model Buicks are better on reliability. I rented a Buick Enclave and it performed well.

Great car!

Had this car since 2012, not even 100,00 miles yet, in great condition and paid for. Excellent car! Great on trips! If taken care of, would recommend this as a very good buy.

Great vehicle for family of 5

The Buick Enclave purchased at TCF Auto Wholesales is a reasonably affordable and reliable vehicle, that was backed by a 1 yr powertrain warranty and annual inspections given the vehicles history and past ownership in Canada.

So Disappointing

I you currently own a Buick or GMC and enjoy having a separate phone number for the vehicle, this option is long gone. Onstar is now more expensive and if you have a smartphone (who does not?) the phone will automatically go to do not disturb once you start moving also if connected with bluetooth it wants to automatically default to Android or Apple CarPlay. These items alone make this purchase (upgrade) a disappointment.

First Buick I've owned

This car meets my every day needs. Also with 3 small nieces they are able to fit comfortably and watch TV as I drive. I am truly impressed with Buick

Terrible Car! Lemon

Car trembles when shifting gears. Repeated issues with heating and AC. Interior is falling apart; pieces are falling off. Lift gate falls unexpectedly when open. Two sets have broken and had to be replaced. Too many issues to list...
