Ideal vehicle for my wife. Nice exterior style.

My Enclave is well built with a strong engine. The transmission is not as smooth as some vehicles. No running boards and with 19 inch tires this SUV is hard for some to climb into. (I added them). Nice comfortable interior and smooth ride. We plan to drive this Enclave for many years and with good maintenance, it should last.

Luxury Affordable 3 row car

It’s very comfortable and it’s a luxury car that it’s great value for money. 3 rows, 2 sunroofs, leather. It’s a spacious suv that drives like a sedan!

Most problematic vehicle I've owned

Some I purchased my 2012 to years ago it's been in the shop every two months. This vehicle has had close to $13,000 in repairs alone. But comfort and ride is extraordinary however I'm very disappointed in all the malfunctions that this vehicle have had. This is definitely a five year max vehicle ownership.

Great vehicle

I own a "base" version of this vehicle. Base is figurative term with all ther stand features. Remote start, power everything, velvet like cloth seats, woodgrain trim and chrome. My vehicle is FWD and has zero issues performing in ther massive amounts of rain. The vehicle also supports generous ground clearance making unexpected hazards no issue. Extensive amount of storage is a bonus for active families.

So comfortable it's like driving a sofa

Very roomy for tall people like myself. I have the premium trim... LOVE the screen over the sun roof so I can have it open without the sun in my eyes. So much cargo room that I was able to move shelving, big TVs, everything in the back. This is the 3rd Enclave we've owned (2008, then this one, then spouse leased a 2017 after this).

Comfortable and Reliable

After owning for 6 years, so far has been a dream. Reliable with only oil changes, brakes and tires. Looks nearly as good as new.
