We love our Buicks too! A notch abaove the economy Japanese brands but priced much lower if you shop.

Definitely! People call them “Old people’s cars” but that’s because old people have mastered what is important in life! I have a rare 2019 Regal TourX and love it to death

I am thinking of buying a used one, are you still enjoying the Enclave?

B Danno Love you too.

Benjamin Burkhardt it used to be Acadia size. But not since 2017.

Benjamin Burkhardt the Acadia is much smaller than this now.

so don't get the 58000 model? thats only if you want every feature available i bet most people will pay around 45000

JTL2017 or $62,000 for a Acura MDX?

If you haven’t actually been in one, I’d recommend reserving judgement. And check new car prices. Note he kicks off with the “negatives” because there aren’t many. Having spent time in the Enclave Avenir and cars/crossovers ranging over $100k, I think GM is actually very competitive. The Volvo is supposedly the nicest for interior, but in reality the materials themselves are not that much more “premium”... the bigger difference is design aesthetic. As for quality and reliability, while the Buick’s sunroof shades feel flimsy and there is the one annoying misalignment of a trim piece, the more expensive XC90 I had for a few days had a terribly buggy center infotainment stack... which was worse, because critical vehicle settings are all handled through it in their unhealthy OCD drive to eliminate physical buttons. Actually operating the vehicle was far more frustrating. The Buick’s control systems and interfaces, on the other hand, all worked seamlessly and GM has wisely retained physical buttons for certain settings that you should NOT be taking your eyes off the road to change on a giant menu screen. Adjusting the thermostat in the Buick is a click of a well placed knob, whereas on the Volvo you open a menu which opens a giant digital slider onscreen... which obscures your nav map, if you’re using it. Then you have to look at the bloody slider to make sure you only change it a few degrees instead of jumping from 70-80 in one accidental swoop. In terms of interior quality, the Acura isn’t actually much if any distance “ahead” of GM anymore. Ten years ago, absolutely... but today it’s a different story. Back to pricing: Sticker is meaningless, never pay it... and with GM you won’t have to. Found an Enclave Avenir with the technology package (mag ride suspension plus other electronic driver aids) and towing package, sticker just over $61k, and the dealership got down to $54k. All things considered, the Buick is actually very competitive in this segment.

I’m pretty sure Micah actually has a crv

Interestingly enough, GM fixed that on the 2019 models. My parents have one and they’re normal.

@@matthewlocke9225 oh, i didn't know that. I've seen the updated Enclave, and it has a full panoramic roof and a power sliding shade.

Trades46 Comparing Motor Trend handling the Enclave is right with the CX-9, matches it in braking, and beats the Mazda in acceleration. Plus it offers superior Active Twin Clutch AWD that Mazda only offer slip-n-grip AWD that over heats in testing. All in a much bigger package with best in segment cargo capacity. So this big beauty is a better performer.

Just got a used 2019 Avenir, it was a steal! How do you like yours and how many miles does it have. What Trim did you get?

or put headrests down

lmao

Idk if it’s a typical Indian behavior or swoosh :) so random

J C hahaha I'm actually of Indian descent and a "super liberal" in favour of removing repressive policies. India is doing ok on that front on removing colonial laws. But yea sure if you prefer a competition India is great... I don't though, i would be happy to see all countries doing great

But you probably have Honda and Toyota which are more than enough!

@J C stop being mean to O k

Fair point on the auto windows. In Buick's defense, paying 58k for an Enclave would get you some worthy features including variable dampers, premium suspension, rear view mirror camera, 360 camera, and power 3rd row among others. This is a great value.

sfmman2000 o

ant sala Ok, go pay $62,000 for a MDX then and except hardly any discount.

sfmman2000 He could go pay almost $62,000 for a MDX with no discount.

That's typical GM for ya. Make a very nice package, and then hamper it with one or two incredibly obvious flaws.

not all quality is in interrior,it has improved in other areas.

Leads the segment in luxury 3-row according to Consumer Reports.

We have to cars with it and it's not bad at all. You get used to it as the GM auto stop start is very smooth.

Hoder Harris I agree!

Hoder Harris exactly what I thought. One of the worst reviews I’ve ever seen. That guy is extremely annoying. All he did was complain

The Enclave is very nice!

Buick is quietest- you cant drive interiors or auto up windows,you cant have it all

No, you press a button on the handle.

With the button on each door handle it is only natural to reach the button first before the handle and by the time you pull on the handle the locks are unlocked without delay.

Consumer Reports has Emclave rated at 76 while the Lincoln is 72 for Aviator and 63 for Nautilus.

Disconnect the hood latch sensor or connect the hood latch sensor to an aftermarket disabling device.

@@d.porter3142 you could pop the hood before starting eveey morning and once started close the hood and it won't interrupt. A $139 plug in module is available which is just a timed relay. We have two cars with stop/start and don't mind it. But my wife doesn't like it the AC stopping on hot days so she cranks it cold and lowers fan speed and it wasn't stop the engine at stops.

@@normt5463 Just disconnecting the sensor is much easier than opening and closing the hood every day.

Porter yeah, but then you have the light on the dash saying hood is open.

Absolutely. I own a 2018 MKT and love it.

@@kms250 the 2020 Buick Enclave is ranked best in the segment by Consumer Reports.

I've owned my 2019 for 7 months now and would recommend it. It lacks a few minor features as pointed out in the review, but the interior space, ride, and handling are very nice.

@@d.porter3142 Currently Consumer Reports No. 1 luxury crossover with 3-rows for 2020!

@@normt5463 Awesome.

@@d.porter3142 they dinged 2018-2019 Traverse and Enclave for clunking transmission but I believe it was the clutch packs breaking in for fuel economy. Once broken in they must be shifting better.

The 2014+ Enclave, Traverse, and Acadia toilets are one of the most recommended large crossovers.

I am a 2014 Enclave owner. After 4 years, the vehicle still performances excellent, never gave any issues to me.

own a 2014 enclave and haven’t had any issues

Consumer Reports rankings put Enclave best in segment in 2020!

Kaveh Oskoui ...ok, there is two in this crowd. This is a North Anerica only vehicle.

no

MK KM The smaller CX-9 and Suabru Ascent barely see 19 mpg and are much smaller. This is one of the largest crossovers you can buy.

@@normt5463 not criticising Buick specifically. Just that, by 2018, these cars should have hybrid or electric options because such low mpg (and thus high pollution/running costs) is shameful.

MK KM Not many full size crossover or SUVs offer battery back up as the additional cost of adding additional power supplies that Mercedes and and Porsche do but at about twice the cost and marginal improvement in fuel savings. Bigger fuel savings is not in 5,000 lbs vehicles. Or you could get a $40K Pacifa Hybrid.

Exactly. Pacifica, from the same company. Why not that PHEV drivetrain in this? The reality is, no car maker wants to change unless they are forced to by law or by competition.

Norm T Would prefer probably getting a Highlander. Reliable, relatively good mpg especially hybrid which increases it, good safety features, and not that bad of an engine.

The Avenir top trim is low $40's today. So half price in 3 years is not too bad.

Ahahaha. The 2019 models are still selling for $46K my guy

why go fast? i guarantee you will be on time for your funeral- not late,not early.

That’s exactly what I was thinking

MDX isn't even recommended by Consumer Reports while the Enclave ranks best in segment.

Why is it less?

Ryan Littleton Enclave and Traverse share the same platform.

@@normt5463 I understand that, but why does the Enclave have less cargo capacity than the Traverse?

@@ryanlittleton5615 the roof slows more in the Enclave styling so it has slightly less than Traverae.

Johns Corey I liked the previous version too!

Yeonhoo Kim there is one in every crowd ....

Not with 25-33% off MSRP

Vel Boone ...a ton!

@@normt5463 This not English 101... I said what I said ..🖕

@@velboone6041 I see a ton too. Problay more than Traverse and plenty of the Avenir trim level. They are pricey even when discounted but you have to go with Yukon or Escalade if you want something else with the same precense

I like the fact that the tailgate isn't so...round. I definitely prefer this design.
