I want one of these so bad I have a 2002 lasbre I got it in 2013 it runs so well. I haven't had any major issues. Buick is the best car I ever had. I keep up with the oil and filter changes on it and it's so quite sometimes I have to make sure I turned it on. It had 80 000 miles when I got it now it's 170,000 but it's definitely time for an upgrade.
I have owned one for over two years. It drives fantastic and is extremely comfortable. Yes it is better than MDX in comfort and space. Very quiet cabin. Handled excellent in snow. You cant off road in this thing. Absolutely love our enclave. The other vehicle we were considering was Merc GLK (but it was too pricey)
I am a rather easy customer to please so may be there are issues that others complain about and I fine with them. MDX has never made sense to me. It is a nice vehicle as many of my colleagues tell me. My friends suggested that to me but I think it was over priced and wasnt very spacious for our taste. It didnt appear luxurious enough to justify the price tag either If you love quick accelerations off the line you may not like it. The AWD system handled very well in snow (I live in Kansas City area and our roads are not always ploughed) even with all weather tires but this is not an off road vehicle. You will definitely get more power with MDX. Buick is underpowered for sure but the drive is better than MDX (Buick is heavier with similar engine power). The drive is extremely comfortable (I have back problems and this was very important to me to get a comfortable car) and very quite. There is virtually no body roll at all. I have had the vehicle for almost 3 years and close to 30K miles no problems what so ever. Four long trips above a thousand mile each without any issues. Net mpg over all these years is 19 mpg. When I was buying the car, there were issues with roof leakage on prior models but I havent come across any. The only issue I had was that the car exterior used to get very hot in the summers and it freaked me out. Took it to dealership (this was two years back) and they said this is normal for the car because of the way the cooling fan works. I havent had any issues with engine heating and I have not been worried about it since then. The cars interior is not easy to clean in the floor area of the back seat. Our kids love to eat lays and it takes a lot of effort to clean the bits from those grooves. In nutshell, I have been very pleased with the purchase. I bought this one for my wife. but I drive it more often than her :) I am sorry to hear that you had a bad experience with MDX, I am a little surprised to be honest but I guess all companies churn out lemons from time to time. I was thinking of buying a Lexus RX, GX, Baby Range Rover (Evoque) or BMW X3 this year for myself but after having a good experience with our first american car i.e Buick, I am considering Cadillax SRX. (We are keeping our Buick off course) Renting a Buick for a few days may help you make your decision. Good luck.
the closing comments are so stupid. We buy this car not because we don't want to pay extra for an import. WE BUY THIS CAR BECAUSE WE CHOOSE TO SUPPORT US COMPANIES AND US WORKERS..........THIS CAR HAS FANTASTIC JD POWER AND CONSUMER REPORT RATINGS TOO, FULL OF LUXURY AND IT IS IMPORTED FROM THE US OF AMERICA
Hi Cameron, if you happen to see this post I have a question. I found this 2015 in mint condition for $16,750 with 33,100 mi. Would it be smart for me to buy it?
GMC needs to have marquee-specific door chimes and misc noises. Nothing can justify a base-model GM chime in a $50k+ "luxury" vehicle. At that price-point, little details like that matter.
***** Nope, Same reason Chevies don't have Ford chimes. It's called brand differentiation; little details like that are part of the bigger picture. And, maybe, if GM realized that a brand is more than just a new logo on the grill, Buick wouldn't be in the shithole it is. Same goes for Lincoln. You wouldn't buy an Escalade if it looked the exact same thing as a Suburban, would you? A real luxury brand cares about details. The real joke is that someone is defending Buick..
I would, They're showing me how to drive and so far the smoothest car I've drove is a Buick, idk i just love it and I might get this one. I guess is you know your taste and which car you like and which one you hate
Totally upset with the mpg... It's 2015 and I am not going to drive a gas guzzler in the city. I don't know many people with this car and it might be for that reason.
I rode in one of these today. The whole thing feels cheap, the door sill are made of this rubber material same with the steering wheel, the plastics are flimsy and the whole aqua color scheme should have been done with in the 90s. The "luxury" of this vehicle feels very artificial. And for $6k more you could buy a used bentley
A used Bentley would cost a fortune to repair and at some point it will need repair. This car can be had on finance for a typical middle class family. It is that simple. Buying an equivalent mercedes would cost twice as much. I have no idea why you think cheap.
Buick Enclave has many problems & is not user friendly. Compass is not calibrated & almost impossible to figure out. Door locks not friendly & most have to be unlocked manually. On dash computer system is not friendly at all. Even my dealership cant figure it out. I am reading up on Lemon Laws in my state.

I LOVE HOW IT HAS NO PISH BUTTON START AND THE KEY FOB IS JUST FINE I LOCE IT

I have my second one. The last one was 2009, my present one is 2014. The best highway ride ever. It beats my Lexus hands down. Very quiet and smooth.

I am replacing my range rover with one and it costs half the price.
This is one of my favorite vehicles out right now and this was one of your best reviews! I really enjoyed it! Cars are a huge passion of mine as well.
Love our 2011 Enclave and they've done well with the refresh!
William Heywood’s dad has a 2015 white Buick Enclave Premium as well
We just bought one and we love it!
Nice rig, it's made in Lansing, Michigan, USA too! I prefer a fairly stripped model with towing package to tow 4500 pounds!
Hi Cameron, if you happen to see this post I have a question. I found this 2015 in mint condition for $16,750 with 33,100 mi. Would it be smart for me to buy it?
Yep, I am looking at a 2015 with 124,000 miles and they are asking 15,000. So you have a better deal.....I think.....
Hello, did you end up getting it?
@@Bobby-ns7gn did you end up getting it? I recently got the premium tint from an old family friend with 145k miles for 10k, no problem with it tho
That was a very nice review!!
One question : in U.S.A , this is one car of those who have '' good money '' ? And what would be ? ....

Cameron Tu Are you kidding me?

A real luxury brand cares about details. The real joke is that someone is defending Buick..
***** That's not saying much, considering what they used to be. But that's still beside the point.
This is a great car my friend just got one.
Gracias amigo
Cameron Is The Acura MDX The Only Main Competeter Of The Buick Enclave ?
You could say the Ford Explorer top of the line trim is or Lincoln MKT
Although these comments seem very positive...who in their right mind would pay $53,000 for a Buick? Do any men own these cars?
I would, They're showing me how to drive and so far the smoothest car I've drove is a Buick, idk i just love it and I might get this one. I guess is you know your taste and which car you like and which one you hate
What trim level was this?
that's not wood grain it's actual a wood steering wheel

+Bob Dillow You did this review on the Buick encore as well - you have a problem with Buick - you own both models?
Second
