2012 Buick Enclave

by Default on 08-21-2017
Great Family SUV
I'm not a 5 stars across the board person. This vehicle is comfortable and a great luxury crossover for families.

I'd take the Enclave over the Traverse or the Acadia simply for the interior trim which is fantastic.

It is not a fast vehicle, nor is it designed to be. You can pass on the highway and pop in from an on-ramp well enough so it's just right on the power side.

Reliability on mine has been good. Mostly just regular wearables such as brakes, alternator, water pump, etc.

It is not a Mercedes even though Buick competes with German brands. At the same time, the Buick hasn't been tested on the Nuremburg ring which means it's actually comfortable to ride in suspension wise instead of being designed to make 90 degree turns at 100 km/h (which also leads to sore kidneys).

If you're thinking about it, there's no disappointment.

Reliable and comfortable
I just love this vehicle. It is the most comfortable ride I have ever owned. Great features and most within arms length to operate. Reasonable mileage considering it is a heavier vehicle. No maintenance problems even after warranty/

2014 Buick Enclave

by eagle7127 on 01-16-2016
rough noisy ride
Nice car and good power but ride is noisy and rough. Front strutts keep leaking and you get a loud thumping noise in city. Rear strutts bottem out and give you a jaring ride. Lots of wind noise on the highway.

2008 Buick Enclave

Trim: CXL All wheel Drive.
by carbuff3631 on 12-13-2014
Still a head turner after 6 yrs.
6 yrs and close to 190k mark, the car still gets noticed. The fact that they have not changed the redesigned version that much a part from the Front Grill also helps.
It is not a perfect SUV but still makes a lot of sense for our family which will now be requiring the 7th seat on daily basis.

Pros: Style, Comfort, Size, Features, Sound & Entertainment System, Big Dual Panel Sunroof. Great Buick Warranty of 7yrs & 160k. We are at 190k mark now.

Cons: Gas (It is a Big & Heavy Vehicle but the real mileage is nowhere near the posted Stuff).Not as tough as some of the other Japanese cars I have used & Abused before.. Traction & All Wheels could have been better.

Would I buy it again ? Well we are going to keep for a few more yrs it as we see it as still the best Option in this class by miles. If we change then it will be because of the sizeof the trunk with full utilization of all 7 seats but the Bigger SUVs out there are way bad with Gas and are Boxy & I don't like Mini-Vans.

Good ride ,good smooth brakes
In most areas it is a very good SUV ,but it needs 2 things for Canadian snowbirds ,an easy to read mile per hour speedometer & a compass on the models with navigation,
all it has is a N for north.

2012 Buick Enclave

by DanielPerianu on 03-28-2013
SUV For the Active Family.
Honestly, this car is a MUST for anybody needing a car with the safety and comfort of a larger vehicle.
The Enclave offers excellent value in terms of space, amenities, styling and efficiency. It undercuts more expensive premium brands by thousands of dollars while still offering the luxury experience that premium-brand buyers demand.
The three-row 2012 Buick Enclave makes an excellent choice for families who want classy styling, a luxurious interior and minivan functionality in an SUV package.

2012 Buick Enclave

by Latarte on 03-27-2013
Comfortable and Luxurious
At day, I feel comfortable in this car, like it's covering me from outside. The smell of leather mixed with my perfume makes me feel at home. Sometimes when I'm tired, being in this car is effortless and even makes my day enjoyable. I turn off the music sometimes to feel connected to the car. When you have to turn right, it turns gently with perfection. Effortless. I love this car.

Luxury in an SUV
If you want a quiet and smooth ride this SUV is the vehicle for you. Plenty of leg room for rear seat passengers. The rear seats fold down flat and provide you with more than enough cargo room. For the quick trips in the city or for longer rides, this SUV is true comfort.

2008 Buick Enclave

by SwagReviewer on 03-12-2013
Stylish but a Lemon
Love the look and comfort of my Buick Enclave. It is comfortable and very stylish but my experience is that it is a lemon. First year of production I guess bugs need to be worked out but these are some of the problems we have had. Front end, transmission, glitchy computer and drainage in the sunroof keeps clogging. The clogging sometimes provides indoor showers and always a sloshing sound when turning corners. Most of the engine problems have been covered by GM, with some gentle persuasion but for a luxury car, there should not have been any issues like I have had. Not to say I wouldn't buy another one, but would want to read some reviews first.

Car runs pretty well but it costs too much money to put gas in it every week. There's not enough mileage for the amount of gas you put into it.

One of the best SUV's on the market and well worth the money. Trim and finish are above average and becasue it's made by BUICK you know it's a quality made SUV. Do you ever hear of recalls or bad quality from Buick?

2008 Buick Enclave

Trim: CX
by Happy0109 on 01-31-2013
I love my Enclave!
I know some people have many complaints about GM and I understand. But my Buick Enclave is a gorgeous vehicle, comfortable, stylish and smooth ride. Plenty of cargo space and can fit anything a truck would fit not compromising the looks. It's a great family car with a fuel consumption of a regular size SUV. I have not had any bad experience yet. (Driving this vehicle for 1 year)

Can't go wrong with this vehicle. The Buick Enclave is a quiet and comfortable ride. In the city or for those longer drives it is a pleasure to drive. Passengers in back have plenty of leg room. The seats fold down flat for lots of cargo space.

This Buick is not just good looking, it is a comfortable, quiet ride. With more than enough room for passengers and easy access to the rear seats, there is plenty of leg room for everyone. The seats fold down flat and give you lots of cargo space. Great ride for just around town or for those longer drives.

For a quiet , smooth ride you can't beat a Buick Enclave. Roomy interior and a lot of seating space. Put down the seats for lots of cargo room. A treat to travel in for long distance or just around the city.
