buick enclave

the Enclave has an excellent ride, very, very smooth. I can't express how "SAFE" . The Encore has little lite up figures on both front review mirrors, so you shouldn't change lanes until the lights go out, it's a great help for shoulder checking. The only improvement the Encore could have is the hands free latch release on the back hatch. Groceries, kids, a pet and of course Tim Horton's coffee and purse you don't have a free hand. This car makes me feel "SAFE" when I get behind the wheel.

Perfect for two people and city life

Overall, it has been a great car. It is very comfortable, plenty roomy for four people or two plus two big dogs. I get good gas mileage and have never had any problems in three years. The quality of the interior materials makes you feel like you are driving a premium car. I've had a few quibbles. First, the narrow armrest between the front seats means you better like your traveling companions. You will be fighting over that thing. Also, the infotainment screen sits high on the dash and isn't a touch screen. It is actually very easy to see while driving, but it looks like a bit of an afterthought. Finally, there are times when I wish it had just a little big more power. Most days it is more than adequate for real world driving. But when I am alone on a twisty road I sometimes when I wish I had something a little more athletic. It seems they've addressed most of my concerns with the updated model that came out in 2017. The interior styling is more cohesive and they now offer an engine upgrade. I even like the more restrained grill and deletion of those fake venti-ports on the hood. Still, there is that skimpy armrest.

Just the right size and a spacious interior

Has everything and more than what I was looking for in a small SUV. Buicks have always been well built vehicles.

Worst car I've ever owned

Bought it brand new. When car hit 50k everything died. I've had to fix the engine every year. Zero power. I am trading it on n. Goodbye.

Beautiful baby SUV

Took it on a 2,000 mile journey shortly after purchase, trial by fire as it were. Incredibly comfortable, easy to handle and did well in the mountains.
