Unreliable

VVT engine has design problems after 70,000 clog around valve start to make problem after 100,000 you have to replace chain and clean up valve if you not care about it you must replace engine which I did. Another problem is transmission all have problem in second and third gear, hard shifting.

Expensive repairs

I used to love the Buick. It was roomy, comfortable and quiet. Then it started breaking down after 5 years and I found the parts were expensive and they came from Mexico. I lost my trust in Buick at that point.

Super reliable and great family SUV the Enclave!

We love everything about our Enclave. It has been super reliable, outside of routine maintenance stuff that you have to do on any vehicle (brakes, tires, etc..). Currently have over 120k miles on it and still going strong.

Very reliable family car!

Comfortably seats 7, rides great, met all of my family needs. Purchased with low miles, and never had issues outside of routine maintenance. Highly recommend.

This car needs air suspension, it rides to rough.

Hand grabs are great in this vehicle making it easy for older people to get in and out. The lettering on the electronic controls needs to be larger so that you can read it.
