I would definitely choose the Buick over the foreign competition. It looks better and is larger inside. Even though the wood is fake, it is more attractive than what the others offer. This man said that it is slow at 7.3 seconds but that is VERY fast even by today's standards. Who is going to race their Buick crossover against another vehicle? This is a FAMILY car. I LOVE this car.

The enclave has its strengths, but I've personally had issues with the infotainment system. It's too slow, irresponsive, and takes what seems like a minute just to change a song. I'd much prefer a Nissan Rogue than a Buick.

really a lot of space on the inside, wonderful looks and drives fairly smooth, absorbing pot hole and bumps with ease. So people describe the interior as cheap but I though it was well laid out and fairly good quality. However, what I did not like was 1. the mileage: this thing is heavy, and 2. brakes: seems like it needs to be stronger. Best brakes I ever tested actually was on a dodge caravan, perhaps buick could learn a few lessons from them and brembo.

Good work. From a Canadian stand point we are interested in Ground clearance. The advantage of curb weight in bad weather should be pointed out as well. If I were to buy an SUV this would be it by a mile. Great support, quiet and... its a Buick. As a general rule, Acura's are my next favorite however, the cost of parts, and maintenance are high.

Boy - I have 2010 model and I regret it. Great size, comfortable and very quite inside . But - got 4 recalls. Got 2 transmission issues, stretched timing chain, ac failed under 50k miles. All covered by extended warranty I purchased . This suv rolls down in a slight incline (no hill assist). Lambda DI engines are notorious for carbon deposit buildup. You need oil catch can to resolve this.

When I first saw this Buick, I really thought it would be a "classic" GM RWD V8 powered SUV. It's quite surprising to see that it's a v6, but I guess that's better fuel economy. I really like the style but something's missing in this car, it wants to be premium but somehow it fails to be completely. The interior is really better than what I would expect but the weight is just not 2014 like... And you're right, generally when you want to buy German, you do not consider many other options.

great review, and I've watched many! I would highly recommend, however, informing viewers of the towing capacity of this vehicle - one of the primary criteria that I think that many have for looking at this class. Also would like to know what, if any, are the pros and cons of the 20" wheels ( often put on this vehicle by the dealer or manufacturer) - go for, or avoid, or just a matter of appearance?? It would be nice to also see a demo of the manual shift modes, is that a help when faster acceleration response is necessary in traffic, e.g.? Finally, a look at interior colors? I think the 'cocochino' and dark brown (cocoa) are really disappointing and not appealing, but that may be just me. at any rate, some attention to that would be really helpful. thanks again for your review, excellent job.

I wish we could but Volvo has been really odd about marketing lately and they have stripped the press fleets of cars for people to review, this is why you're not really seeing many Volvo reviews at the moment. I hope that 2014 will bring some changes to this when Volvo starts shipping the 2015 models with the new 4-cylinder engines.

@AAutoBuyersGuide10 жыл бұрын
Wow, 4 child seats. Congratulations! (I think). I suspect you would want to look at GM's Lambda CUVs, the Durango and the Pathfinder. A large 3rd row taht is easy to get into is going to be essential. The GM crossovers can have an 8-seat configuration and since they are wide it might even be possible to have three child seats across the middle.

my mom has a 2013 enclave AWD fully loaded. great exterior design, good car for what it does but it is VERY cheap in the inside, the gas mileage is very bad (15 average), seems VERY underpowerd (since it only as 288 HP), and the buick intellink voice command system is the worst I have ever experienced.

It is not cheap on the inside. It is as nice as any European so called luxury that costs twice as much. The interior of the buick is very high end when considering the price.

My family has had the Enclave for 3 years now. We are about to turn it back to Buick as the lease is up. The interior is very far from "luxury". It is full of fake wood and plastic galore which does not make sense on a 52 thousand dollar SUV.

Alex, now that you've reviewed the Durango and Enclave, which one do you feel is the better overall family hauler? I'm considering the Citadel V6 model or an Enclave. I have trouble thinking of a Buick as 'modern'.
@AAutoBuyersGuide10 жыл бұрын
Well, the Enclave is going to be more comfortable for 3rd row passengers but overall I'd take the Durango.
@AAutoBuyersGuide10 жыл бұрын
***** The Durango is much more fun to drive. It has a higher towing capacity, slightly better fuel economy thanks to the 8 speed transmission (the Buick uses a 6), the infotainment options are newer and the interior looks more modern especially when equipped with the optional 7-inch LCD gauge cluster. The Durango also has a more robust AWD system.

Any self respecting person would never buy such a gross vehicle. You would play into the stereo type that buys these things. Arrogant soccer moms drive all over the road with these things, the arrogant middle aged person that cuts you off in traffic with their cell phone glued to their ear. Buy something that has more room, a Suburban would suit you much, much better. This thing looks like at the factory they took a minivan that was hit from 3 sides, dipped it in resin and sugar coated it for resale.

Note I am not talking about re-sale value. I mentioned reliability. Compare the Enclave with its direct competitor, The Lexus RX The difference is drastic in reliability.
