Smoothest ride of any car I've owned

The Buick Enclave is so stylish and is an affordable luxury SUV. I love the smooth ride the most! It's going to make it hard to ever own another vehicle. The heated leather seats and 3rd row that lies down add to the appeal as does the stylish interior.

Purchased two weeks ago after test drive.

I love it, very comfortable, smooth ride. Very roomy. Still getting used to all of the gadgets and new buttons, but I definitely love this car.

A car so reliable it's hard to find parts in a jun

This car is a luxurious, family vehicle, dependable, reliable, and will drive for you forever. I wouldn't buy anything else.

Beautiful vehicle

This vehicle is spacious and beautiful. Very quiet ride and it has all the bells and whistles. The gas mileage is a bit low which is to be expected in a full sized SUV however that is literally my only complaint. All three rows of seating are spacious. The display has lots of options and the front seats are heated and cooled! Best car I have ever owned!

Very smooth and quiet ride

I love everything about this car. It is classy looking, very smooth ride, and has plenty of space. One strange thing- randomly it smells as if there is gas fumes coming through my air vents inside the cabin. We are getting this looked at soon!

Exceeds all expectations. Absolutely perfect

I got the enclave on what happened to be not the greatest night. I had called a tow truck to take my other car home but because of the snowstorm i couldn't get one out to me. I ended up driving the enclave home with no problem. This is without a doubt the most reliable vehicle i have ever purchased.

Engine has a fault

This vehicle did not live up to all the hype. Afteronly 109,000, I had to have both heads rebuilt to a cost of $6785 because of a severe build up of carbon. Even though I had proof that all my service maintainance was done by GMC's computer noticification, I was told by Will's Cheverlet in Grimby Pntario that it was a maintenance problem. I WAS THEN TOLD THAT MY WARRANTY WOULD NOT APPLY. I have now had the vehicle repaired and have decided never to buy anything from Will's angain. I am very susceptible of buying a GMC product that has that engine.
