I bought a 2022 Cadillac XT6 Premium Luxury a couple of weeks ago which I know is the higher end cousin to the Enclave and I'm very happy with it. I was hesitant at first due to poor reliability and quality experiences with GM in the past but I'm glad I made the purchase. It's my first domestic American car brand purchase in 20 years!

Love it. rides great. do not like the shifter on the 2022, you need to look down to shift where the 2021 shifter you pull down -drive. up and over reverse nover have to look

Toyota 4 Runner thrashed Buick and many other brands since the past few years except that their milage is bad. However, this year Buick is trying to catch up with the competition. The major improvement I see is in the mileage.

Excellent review Lauren. The Buick is very attractive, but dependability has had serious problems in the past. The transmission had been failure-prone. The timing chain on the V6 is weak - it stretches and breaks. The poewer steering fails. The cooling system has had leaks from use of plastic elbows and connections. Build quality has been spotty. The safety features are terrific. Its huge inside. And the price is fairly reasonable. For a $50k vehicle, I'm going with a Palisade. I'd recommend leasing, not buying, on the Buick because there's a steep depreciation rate on them,

@CarCoachReports 2 жыл бұрын

@ohroonoko 2 жыл бұрын

It sounds like Buick hasn’t come far in the reliability department since my dad bought a Buick Estate Wagon in 1976. Hood thing he was a mechanic. He probably saved a million bucks in repairs on that thing.

@user-yx4on8hx4w 7 ай бұрын

You may want to do some research into the Korean twins. Palisade and Telluride aren't the most dependable nor do they have the newest tech in the motor (eg: no hydraulic lifters, amongst other old school features. Plastic oil filter housing) Not to mention dealing with Kia and Hyundai is big contrast to other dealers and going through TechLine to exercise their claimed 100k warranty will be a headache & and half.

We have a 15 Lexus gx and 20 Camry we are thinking on trading for the enclave. Do you think we should go for a 22 new or do you think a certified 18-22 would be better, do you think they upgraded it enough to spring for the 22? I hate to do it as the Lexus will definitely outlive and keep value much better but my mom that I’m taking to dr appointments due to back issues can’t get in either vehicle we own. The 3.6 does scare me a lil bit due to the reliability history, that’s what makes me want certified for the extra warranty. Sorry for being long winded

As a former Enclave owner, I would shop elsewhere. I was always pouring anti freeze in the car. It never leaked anywhere so something else is going on. It was very thirsty, and very heavy.

Why do you say you wouldn't put a car seat in the third row? Most families that purchase a third row suv do so because they have more than 2 kids. We put a car seat in the middle of the third row and it works great.

My husband decided this (Avenir model) was the best vehicle for me.... I just go with it - I'm not picky! I am under 5 foot and this doesn't fit me that great but with a seat cushion from Amazon, visibility is fine now. Not sure if the park assist will be added when the chips are finally delivered to the dealership - I've heard different reports on this - I'm hoping that it will be possible! The drive is nice, the look is nice... I did not test drive other comparable vehicles though... the price seemed steep - we put $40k down and financed the rest - $20k - so at $60k, that just seems high but honestly, I know that this is not the best time to go car shopping.... my 2006 Tahoe Z71 gave a good long run and it was time for a new vehicle - not worth dumping more $ into something that old. All of these fancy new features like the self starting engine, heated steering wheel, massaging, air conditioning seats and many others seem unnecessary and I feel guilty having these!! But that self parking feature seems really cool - that's why I'm hoping that chip that will be coming includes this!!!

I drove the Korean competitors and besides the gas mileage, the Buick is better. Bigger engine, drives better, stronger, better interior and features for my opinion. Doesn’t make sense to buy underpowered Korean crap. I drove every 3 seat suv in the last years, the best ones were the explorer and enclave/traverse.

The stigma still exists. While this at minimum looks like the common modern day SUV, my grandfather only bought Buick back in the day. That's probably enough for many right there. It may be a decent vehicle if one is looking for the cookie cutter SUV with a bit more. The grandfather in his 70s image though is tough to break..lol This is why you don't see as many Buick SUVs and also GM's reputation from the past of cars getting rust and oil leaks..etc.
