I have a 2021 Avenir and LOVE IT! ❤️ Upgraded my 2011 Enclave. It is a great daily driver and family hauler. I've enjoyed the heated steering wheel the most. And the adaptive cruise is nice. Wish it had the Super Cruise feature, though.

@sansinutube The 3.6L V6 motor in the enclave did have a rocky start, from 2008 to 2012, they were known for having tons of timing chain and transmission issues whether people did maintence or not. But they have made several improvements.. Especially from 2018 and on with the motor. It's pretty rock solid now. They will last a long time, but maintenance is key. I know people who have gotten 200,000 miles or more out of them, but you have to stay on top of oil changes and I would also change the transmission fluid every 50k miles even though the owners manual says you only have to change it if your vehicle falls under "heavy use" for things like towing or commercial use.. Change it anyway at 50k. And I actually change my oil in mine a little early quite a bit before the oil life meter tells me too just to make sure because oil changes are very critical when it comes to longevity with this motor. I wouldn't buy a used enclave unless I could verify the service records on the vehicle. If you can't prove the oil was changed at the proper intervals, then I would pass on it.

Imo GM could’ve did more with the interior technology wise. I agree with yall on this one. The screen looks small and dated. the mainstream segment has moved to 9 inch screens, 12 inch screens and what not and this sticks with the older 8 inch one, that looks like a Nintendo switch. The gauges look right off the chevy malibu LT. Its nice for a base model but it definitly lines up pretty well to similarly equipped Toyota highlander XLE. But besides that its still a very nice product and that 3.6 sounds very nice. That turbo whine sounds unique and just like the traverse this is the perfect family and grocery hauler.

As long as drivers coming from behind understand the turn signal that is what matters. Having a brake light an indicator as separate lights could cause confusion if the are activated at the same time

Even though the ST package does add a little spice to the essence trim level, i think it has a little to much bling. Yes, its a Buick and is known as the vehicle for the elderly, i feel like it still has to much chrome. Especially on the back. That chrome bar looks nice but it really doesn’t match. That should be blacked out, and still have a little bit of chrome trim left around the vehicle to balance it out.

The CX-5 may be nicer than other Japanese cars but the CX-9 I test drove felt cheap and just a people mover. Also, the Enclave comes loaded with a 6 cylinder and the Mazas just have a 4 banger, unless you get an actually fun to drive CX-90...which is a lot closer to the same size of an Enclave. The CX-5 is smaller.

@327SixShooter 7 ай бұрын

They are. Which is why I bought a 2024. The new turbo 4 cylinder is not weak though. Its actually going to get 18 to 20 more up than the 310 hp that this v6 produces. But the reason I don't want it is because they usually have trouble with the first couple model years when they introduce a new engine. they did with this v6 when it first came out over a decade ago. But that has all been worked out and it's finally a good motor now that they are getting rid of it lol. Almost all automakers are getting rid of their V6 engines and going to turbo 4sm it's not that they want to. It's because of government cafe standards. So if you don't like it, remember which party pushes that crap next time you vote.. elections have consequences.
