Good if maintenance had be kept up and oil put in

It's the vehicle I've been wanting since 2008 but, I chose the wrong car lot to buy it from. I only drove it home from the car lot, to the store the next day and that was it. Wasnt able to enjoy it at all. I've heard that they are very good suv's

Awesome vehicle

So far we are loving this Enclave. It’s comfortable and sleek. Luxury vehicle at a great price. No problems so far and it rides as smooth and quiet as any vehicle we’ve ever owned

Best suv for us

My wife loves it and it fits our needs. I love the fact that it has a third row and the gas mileage is great. I recommend this vehicle to anyone that has a family.

208,000 miles

My 2012 Buick Enclave was purchased new and lasted eight years and 208,000 miles: Chicago winters, family trips, work commute- 60 miles round trip. Best vehicle I have owned. Traded in the 2012 Enclave yesterday for a 2020 Enclave!

BEST CAR INEVER OWNED

Bought it in 2007 and owned it until 2017. AWD, fully loaded, V6. Did 325,000 km (190,000 miles), replaced 1 wheeled bearing on warranty and never had a problem. Love, love, loved it. A tank when it came to winter driving on ice and in snow. Never got stuck and the most stable Vehicle I ever owned. Everything is solid and made to last. Impressive for a luxurious crossover. Pulling a trailer or heavy loads ... no problem. Exchanged it for Envision in 2017 ... regretted it ever since. I miss my Enclave.
