    Just bought my first Buick Enclave and I love it!

    We had a Trailblazer before, and this time we tried the Enclave. Rides like a dream and very spacious inside! The engine is so quiet I don't even hear it running. We just bought it so I'm hoping it keeps on delivering!

    Very comfortable for short and long drives.

    Probably the most comfortable and stable vehicle I have ever owned or driven. Handles snowy roads with ease and allows you to not have white knuckles at the end of your winter trips.
