The seats are terrible, narrow and you end up sitting on the side bolsters which are very hard!!!! I don't like the stop and start feature it is annoying. Has ample space and is a very quite and smooth ride.For the price of the car I would expect a better seat on this type of car, the seat sensor is located underneath the seat bolster and is like a sitting on a rock......

Our Third Enclave

We owned a 2008 and a 2012 Enclave. Our 2018 Avenir Enclave is a great leap upward in terms of safety, technology, quietness and design. I especially like that the car defaults to fwd, though awd is selectable or automatically engaged. We ordered the Avenir to get the full suite of safety features and, as we get older I'm glad we have them. The car is almost eerily quiet and, though it feels more spacious, it also feels lighter and nimbler. The Avenir-specific interior and the subtle 'pepperdust' exterior bring this car to the luxury level and, IMHO exceeds most other 3-row suvs.

A joy to drive and very comfortable

The car met our needs. We have 6 grandchildren, so the 3rd row seats makes it great for traveling. Having USB port and AC plug is really handy. The heated seats in the 2nd row makes our passengers happy. Love the motion sensor to open the tail gait. This vehicle has many safety features that make us feel safer, especially transporting grandchildren. We love it!

Buick has exceeded it's own high standards

Buick truly kept their word. The 2018 Buick Enclave is everything Buick said it would be and more. It is stylish, extra spacious, smooth riding, full of the latest safety features and high end technology. Having been a previous Enclave owner I expected a quality vehicle, but NEVER expected this much in an SUV. It was worth the wait for 2018 as Buick delivered a home-run with this vehicle. First class in every element.

My favorite vehicle ever!

This car was made for me. It is perfect, both in performance, looks, and comfort. I purchased the Buick Enclave Avenir. I saw it originally at the State Fair of Texas, and had to see one in person. Made numerous trips to the dealership until one finally arrived on October 31st. Once I saw it, I had to have it and we took it home with us that night.
