The Enclave is more beautiful than MDX for sure. Nice video.
My favorite Buick SUV! Awesome job bro.
I like your Attention To Detail in this video. This is the 4th video that I've watched and you've shown at least 4 features the other 3 didn't show.
Great job 👍
Awesome! Glad to hear that! 😁
Thanks for the comprehensive deep dive! Great job!
Excellent description guys!! This is the best video I have watched so far about Enclave. Very detailed!
Thanks! We appreciate that!
Nice review and like the features on the second row
I’ve watched all the Enclave Alvenir Videos & “Car Confections” is the best! Great job guys and GO CATS!
Thanks, we appreciate it! And yes, GO CATS!
Such an underrated channel! I wish I discovered you guy’s sooner!
Better late than never! Welcome to the Car Confections 'family'! 😀
I was an up on the last body style. This one seems rather generic compared to that one. Way too many incandescent exterior lights, no fog lights(!), and an obscenely small rear wiper, to name 3. The video is very well presented with extreme detail, as usual. Good job, guys.
I am loving my 2020 Enclave. Just purchased it last weekend. Now is a good time while interest rates are low.
Great job on your reviews. Job well done. Excellent reviewing, excellent knowledge. Thank you.
Thanks, David! Glad you enjoyed the video!
Great job on this review . This suv is my favorite for what you get for the money at top price. I definitely will be test driving it . Thanks
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed!
Step dad drove a 13 in silver idk what trim but was rlly nice.
Beautiful car and great review.
I have a 2011 Buick enclave and I love it it is a creampuffer it has 210,000 mi on it and is in perfect shape and is a virgin to any repairs
Saw the 2022 version. Waiting for that one! I think coming out in August 2021.
Seriously considering the Enclave as the next family car as we’ve outgrown our current sedan. There are just so many choices these days!
Omg thanks, waiting for the avenir!👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
We didn't get to see the Avenir last year, so we definitely wanted to check it out this time!
Great review
Thanks!
Test drove this and the Palisades Caligraphy. The cargo capacity in the Enclave is much better than in the Palisades.
What if the new Grand National share with Camaro platform ?
I saw that on Sunday it's so good looking your getting better mason and uhm....... srry forgot your name 😕
Looks nice
Why aren't fog lights available though? At least on the Avenir trim!
I wanted to know how you liked the driving dynamic compared to the mdx?
The driver and passenger seats in the Palisades Caligraphy are MUCH MUCH nicer than the Avenir seats. But overall I like the Buick better.
Nice review
Are rollup shades available in this car?
Still one of best SUV's I can buy it used bro.
I love the Buick Enclave Better than the Acura MDX.
Raheem Clark For us, Buick is up the street and Acura, Lexus, Infiniti and the like are an hour away.
Really nice review. It’s just kind of shocking for a vehicle that you stated it is about $60,000 that it doesn’t come with the rain sensing wipers and you have to manually open the sunshades on the roof they actually snapped back sounding really cheap I think Buick needs to rethink that for that price.
brixtonwa Edmund’s reviewer said the same about them. Just don’t get them.
@@dam4274 Unfortunately the sunroofs are not optional on the Avenir.
Want one Awesome
Chose this one over infinity x60 and Acura MDX .
A former co worker rented one of these and I was told that it rides great with all the luxurious features. Hope you guys had a great weekend and are doing well!
We're doing great! Hope you are also doing well!
kbw1970 I rented one, I would never buy a Buick for the rest of my life after it. Worst car I’ve ever been in.
What arent auto rain wiper sensors available?
Nice
Have you guys reviewed a 2019 Jeep Cherokee? If not can you review a limited trim please.
I like it but not the stop and start
I'm going to refer to the Buick Lucerne cxl which is made on a Cadillac chassis it's a Cadillac with a Buick badge and The enclave has a Cadillac counterpart so it's a Cadillac with a Buick badge LOL haha I love Buick I've had a few Buicks over the years my first Buick was a 1981 Buick regal
Most reviewers talk about all the materials They haven't once Give an opinion on the lower parts of the doors and the middle section between the wood and the leather arm rest And to me that black color was the worse addition to the lineup It would look better with white or something burgundy leather
I love Buick as a good tweener brand; however, I still dislike how GM packages options. I really wish safety systems were standard across the board since this is at times more expensive than the MDX which does include those safety systems on every model. GM makes good vehicles, no doubt, but the value proposition isn’t as good as the Acura, Lexus, and Audi options
I was sitting downstairs with my dogs and I resumed the video right as the rear seat reminder played and the oldest dog lost it thinking someone was at the door. She’s crazy
@@Jaymac720 hahaha dogs are great😂
Have you seen the new refresh planned for 2022?
No
How do you get the window up if it's not auto up as well as auto down?
Auto windows just means it only takes one touch to lower the window. Otherwise you just hold the button down
Missing the HUD and Spare Tire
It has a spare tire under the rear storage area.
Seatbelts?
How much they go for a used one
Ashley Martin My daughter-in-law is Ashley Martin. Check Cars.com or CarMax.
37th like and Buick is no longer old people cars!
Interior very similar to the Cadillac XT5. The engine sounded much more quieter than the XT5 from stop up to speed. Back seat fold down and no spare seemed to me lacking.😁
Yeah even though the Enclave is larger and has the same engine, it was still quieter. We were surprised by that.
@@CarConfections yup!
The back seats fold flat and there is a spare tire.
Navigation is only standard on the avenir?!
Correct. But they all have Android Auto and CarPlay
That’s true but at least make integrated navigation standard on the premier as well
Drivers seat needs to be bigger for guys like me.
Do 19 pilot vs 19 ascent please
WHY are none of the reviews on the 2019 Enclave models talking about the Stop/Start technology and if it has an option to be disabled?!?!
You can not turn the auto start/stop system off in the Enclave. However this could be something that they add in 2020
@@CarConfections thank you for replying. I test drove an AWD essence this past week and I guess I didnt stop long enough to notice the feature because it didnt happen... I had mentioned to the salesman while in the vehicle with me that I am so glad this vehicle doesn't have stop/start because I dont like it, he agreed. At this point I am confused and will need to do another test drive!
@@mandarenee2549 it's one of the better stop/start systems, it isn't as noticeable as a lot of others. Still wish it could be disabled.
I have the 18 regulator x and there's a part you can buy and you just plug it in and you no longer have the start stop and I believe that the 19 is start/stop can be turned off
Please respond to my questions. Thank you.
2 deal breakers. The gear shift, and having the air flow direction only on the screen....
Selecting Reverse with the shifter is annoying, but not a deal breaker, and pressing one button activates automatic climate control which adjusts the airflow without needing to access the screen.
It's okay....
That didn't look at all like a "flat folding floor" to me! Does the second row flip forward?? IDK why ppl dislike the Lincoln MKT when it beats the heck out of all the Buick features for a lot less money??!! This has NOTHING over my old Lincoln!!!! Mines a 13 and it has WAY more features that make it FAR superior to this. I thought maybe replacing mine with an Enclave but after watching this... NO WAY!
Both the second and third row fold flat, it just wasn't done properly in the video.
The MKT has some features that the Enclave doesn't, but the Enclave has more passenger space, more cargo space, gets better gas mileage, has a driver-selectable twin clutch AWD system, can carry more interior weight, and can tow more.
Both roads in the back full fly and has the largest square feet I believe it's 97 it can fit much more than the MDX those cars do ride similar they have the same exact transmission general motors and Ford went in together with the transmission and they have a shop in Mexico that they produce just transmission the same as the Ford explorer not the new one that was a new Ford explorer is rear wheel drive and is having many many problems with it
Waaay over-priced for an average truck!! Buick knows that this is no more than a $30 to 40K vehicle, no matter the size. $60K is lunacy!
Rod Brown yes, overpriced for guys who can only afford a transit pass...
@@perrinmichael4504 Nah, I have one... It's overpriced.
This is far from anybody’s “average truck.” It’s a very refined capacious luxury car that has over 97 cubic feet of enclosed cargo space, good towing capability, full 7 passenger room, and amazing surround / rear / front cameras and an awesome sound system. (Actually Watch this video review next time.) The 2020 Enclave Avenir is even better, and nobody needs to pay $60k.
Lexus and Acura over this.
The Enclave has more passenger and cargo space than both.
Great review
Thanks Ryan!
