Love this car

My wife and I spent months researching vehicles and decided this was the choice.for us. We spent another couple weeks looking for one with all the options we wanted. The vehicle we ended up with was unbelievable, had everything we wanted. Great car for the price.

Poor workmanship

this is a great looking car, and it rides great. We have 18,000 miles and the plastic hook that holds the moonroof screen broke. I have put in insulation around the interior where the moonroof is located to stop rattles. I purchased the most expensive model costing $50K+. When you spend this much money I would hope I would not run into these kind of problems. Granted they are small but I do not like rattles and I would hope things would last longer than 18K miles. I would recommend this car but I would also recommend looking at others before you purchase. I never purchased a foreign car but I will start looking.

Best decision I've made.

In 2011 I really wanted this car, but chose a Honda Accord instead because of gas prices. I was never happy with my decision and still longed for the Enclave. In Febuary I started looking at the Enclave's again and purchase a used 2013 . I couldn't be happier. Great comfort, style and performance. Sure it goes to the gas station a bit more than the Honda, but for a big vehicle it does fairly well on gas. Love, love , love this car.

Most luxurious car I have ever owned.

The Enclave is a nice heavy car. It holds the road well when it is icy. It drives like a dream. I like everything about it, except the seat are a little too straight for me. I wish they were more concave in the upper back, as my GMC pickup was.

Enclave owner x2

I stopped in Crown Buick GMC the day before Christmas Eve to see the leftover 2013 Buick Enclave. I was greeted by sales consultant Tammy Wagner. She was upbeat. Tammy made me feel special. She took her time. Crown manager Dave helped me get to the figures I needed to make my payments work with Tony in finance. Crown cares about people. I will recommend Tammy Wagner to all of my golf friends and family. She is proud of her dealership and enjoys people. Tammy was so happy for me to get into a new vehicle at a great price. Thank you D. H. Largo FL

Not Worth the Money

Not worth the money. For similar price, you can buy a "true" luxury vehicle like Acura, Infiniti or Lexus with much better quality, design, features, reliability, performance, resale value, etc. etc. Buick still thinks it's okay to fill the cabin up with fake wood?.not okay at this price. GM cars still lags behind the industry with technology. This is why Buick will never have the same 'prestige' as the competition. This car would be a bargain if it were priced the same as the Traverse which is almost the same car.

This is our second enclave. We reviewed other vehicles thinking maybe a change would be for the good. Because we thoroughly enjoyed our first enclave We found it was impossible to find anything that would compare more favorably, as we review our options. If you are looking for a larger crossover with style performance and value, the enclave would be hard to match!

Shocking

Short list to choose from for the next family lease: Acura MDX, Lexus RX350, and the BMW X5...drove all 3 and was almost done deciding when a friend screwed up my plans by driving up in a newer Buick Lacrosse. I guess I live in a bubble because I had no clue Buick had changed so dramatically....he told me they have an SUV too and I went to check it out that weekend. After shopping for 2 weeks, the desicion to lease on the spot was a no brainer...the car was quieter, smoother, and was as luxurious as any vehicle I've tried...2 months into it, I don't have a complaint...it's exactly what I want, the interior is jaw dropping with cool blue lights throughout...love it love it love it!

Awesome and Amazing!!

Wow....this new 2013 Buick Enclave is my dream come true!! You must see this beautifully detailed car to appreciate its design inside and out! The interior is breathtaking at night with the soft blue lighting that encircles the entire cabin. The rich wood grain and quality leather makes for an unbelievably luxurious vehicle. The quiet smooth ride is amazing! As a former Cadillac owner, I can say my new Buick Enclave is far superior! If you are looking for quality, elegance, and a smooth ride, this is the car for you! I drive my Enclave with pride and "caution"... Please no fender-benders! My road rage has completely disappeared!

Wow great ride

Test drove Highlander,Pilot,traverse. Enclave blows them away. This car drives great,looks great both in and out. Chose the white diamond tri coat and it is awesome. Love the new cocoa interior. Wish it got a little better mpg. Ambient lighting and the backup camera and cross traffic really make this the perfect 3 row family vehicle .
