Agree with you!

GM reliability in recent years have proven to be awful, same with Ford and Dodge. Looks fine but dependability sucks

@@wasupfool5692 In both JD Power and Consumer Reports, Buick has landed in the top 5 for long term reliability nearly every year over the past two decades - first or second place on occasion.

@@wasupfool5692total BS. I have a newer GM car and it has been perfect since day one. Already put 100k miles on it. Love GM 2.0 turbo as well

Exactly. People complain that pickup trucks are now 100k, but keep buying them. While this Enclave looks amazing inside, but since it isn’t cool people keep hating it? Someone needs to grow up

Envision is literally the best in class vehicle. 2020 Regal Sportback was also the best in class hatchback, too sad GM sold Opel and cancelled it.

@@00_UUI have an Encore GX 2021 and never had any issue with it for 3 years so I’m also thinking of maybe getting an Enclave.

@@hawkjiang3361 good choice. I love new Enclave interior, it reminds me of old school Lexus and Acura, but with a modern touch. New Enclave is actually way ahead in tech, infotainment, price and engine power than all of its competition. New Enclave is also way better than current Cadillac XT6.

Yes gorgeous red..Buick quality

Some times it takes a few seconds for it to register

Don't all 12v car batteries last 2 years??

@@mtmt88usually 3-4. Although I did see a BMW one make it 9 years but that’s very much an exception to the norm

My 2006 Toyota 4Runner has had the same battery for 15 years without replacing!

Lmao the battery??? GM doesn’t even manufacture those 😂😂😂 besides leaving the lights on too much can drain and kill a battery. Crazy that you know nothing about cars but follow a car channel.

Okay mason, cry more. What else you got?

I let it slide for now

@@RaitisRides I thought you were scared to be blacklisted by Buick😆

@@edwardvalivonis23 They may take back all the freebies😂

@@DaveLundon definitely 😁

I was a proud Honda only buyer for 20 years and I am happy I bought a new GM car a few years ago, no issues and it aged much better than my previous Acura RDX.

Quadruplets, actually: Cadillac XT6.

@@romanseanowe will not get XT6 in the US, unless something changes

Was that "narrow front seat problem" so widespread that they were forced to do a recall? ☺

@@romanseano A recall on obesity

What Buick are you talking about? I had 3 new Buick loaners, I had one as a rental - no issues. The only one with uncomfortable seats is Envista, but Encore GX already has decent seats. Envision seats are great, outgoing Enclave has great wide plush seats.

Brand new and the brakes are so squeaky

Foot long hot dog, large McD French fries, Popeye spicy fried chicken thigh, 7-11 Jamaican beef patties

This is true

I love buick.

For sure, most likely they flew him first class for an "honest" review.🤣

He's doing his job, which is to present the vehicle. With these preproduction models, it's especially appropriate to point out how the designers tried to improve on last year's offering. Joe doesn't tell viewers what to think, either. As far as how he gets to auto shows, he'd go whether the companies footed the bill or not. That's how much he loves cars. BTW if the car makers paid for his trip, that's Joe's good fortune. Just think about it.

The purpose of these types of initial reviews is more or less to Just share the raw facts about the vehicle, not give opinions on pros and cons and likes and dislikes. That always comes later on in a more in-depth review after driving and experiencing the vehicle

Crazy to think there’s people like you who get so upset over things like someone reviewing a car. Is this the only car channel you follow? Because I have about 6 videos of this same vehicle in my feed rn and they all review it the same. Have fun in your 2012 Camry I guess.

I know right

Where do you live? I see hundreds every day

😂 based on what? The Envision is best in class. Encore GX is fine as economy commuter.

You are so very welcome

Telluride / Palisade has more cargo & passenger space than (even a Grand) Cherokee.

@@romanseanobut Telluride and Palisade are cheap tin cans with weak engines, terrible fuel economy and poor ergonomics.

@@00_UU Thank you! It's always fascinating to hear perspectives from people who have never touched one, let alone sat in or driven. ☺

@@romanseano I tested both at my local dealers, hated everything about them. I have no idea who even buys them. Even previous gen Enclave drove much better, this new gen will be easily way better.

Thanks for you honest opinion on this one David

Soon!

You must be living in lala land. Buick is actually growing sales every year.

Well there are some brands that push the same front end for brand recognition

@@RaitisRides Makes sense Raiti 👌

@@RaitisRides @chrisgelo I agree with both of you. Joe Brand identity is key and Chrisgelo I'm not a fan of Buicks new design language but to each is own. No offence Joe I love ya brother!!! but I hate when all the auto journalist review the new look of Buick design language on how they say it resembles/inspires by the Buick Wildcat. to me that's a bit if a stretch. but again my opinion.

You're missing out. We bought a 24' Enclave Avenir over a TX. It beats the Lexus 100x over...... And we're sub 40yr old parents

@@user-yx4on8hx4w good for you. glad you like it and i’m not here to talk badly about your purchase. the overall brand lexus beats buick in every single way as as per reliability + fit and finish , no competition. enjoy your new ride !

@@plutodestroyer12tell us you are uninformed without telling us. Buick has solid fit and finish and reliability is the best in class. While Lexus is extremely overpriced and so behind the times on infotainment

@@00_UU yes yes yes the highest grossing car manufacturer is just terrible and a gm product beats it out 10/10. were an misinformed. enjoy your ‘made in america’ product friend. silly us.

@@plutodestroyer12 highest grossing does not mean anything. Just FYI Tesla is the highest grossing car manufacturer right now, so you are uninformed once again. Also most Lexus vehicles are made in America. So what is your point exactly?

Hopefully there will be changes

Like what? Buick is one of the more reliable car manufacturers.

@@dtay8913 Brake squealing when backing up, uncomfortable seats, recalls and service light glitches.

@@trenb4299 We must have missed the headlines on those oddly specific issues.

@@trenb4299I’m having no problems so far 3 yrs in .

Actually I didn’t! This is the ST trim. The one you probably saw is the Avenir

He does this all the time, and you’re finding out just now?

Lmao get a life bro

LOL! That 3.6 liter High Feature V6 was POS when come to reliability.

Based on what?

@@rickjohnson2859My mom’s would shut down on the high way…

How do you know? Do you own one already?

In what way this is lower quality than the original Enclave? 😂 This redesign is amazing, literally everything inside is class-leading.

Heck yeah man!

Subaru CVT? No, thank you.

I've got a 20 year old Buick featuring the 3800 V6 that doesn't quit. Practically bulletproof. Leather seats, soft interior materials, great gas mileage. Metallic silver exterior that has held up well. Look up the 3800 V6 and you'll see what I'm talking about.

In terms of reliability rankings (both Consumer Reports and JD Power), Buick overall has an incredibly positive record that goes back two decades - like when the first gen LaCrosse outranked pretty much every other vehicle. That very car, an absolute zero issue 2005 CXS, was in the family until sold to a family friend in 2018 - and they're still driving it. Personally, we're on our 2nd Regal, a 2020 Avenir Sportback. No problems, so far. It replaced a 2014 which also had.... wait for it... zero problems. I mean, you can say a lot of things about Buick. Even I'll say it - they're far from perfect and have a recent history of missed opportunities. But if you're going in for a takedown on Buick, "reliability" is not your path.

Buick lasagne

@@teaganna5970 true true truuuuu I forgot 😂

My 11 enclave is very reliable 250000 is sill trouble free vergin to repairs is all original and perfect just bought a 19 and lOve it

I guess nit

It does seem they have taken away some of the lux features. Looks very minimal now and not in a good way.

Uh, that last part... it's supposed to be the other way around.

That is a big difference

The Sorento is a whole chunk smaller. Size wise, you'd refer them to the Telluride and would still come out better on price. (Going further, a Palisade would be the most on-point with the Enclave in terms of vehicle personality.)

Two aren’t even comparable. And Kia doesn’t make anything that competes in the price range. I’m guessing you just own a Sorento and are coping in the comments of every video? Lame.

Kia Telluride and Hyundai Palisade both ride horrible, I tested both and they ride like tin cans. Loose parts can be heard knocking in engine compartment on bumps, engines feel extremely underpowered, interior feels cheap with acid blue cluster lighting. The Enclave is a much more solid smooth refined ride, this new GM turbo is unmatched.

Why not? Are suffering from low self-esteem?

@@00_UU because I learned to buy other brands that dont require me to be on a first name basis with the guys in the service department.😉

@@DaveInCanada081 total bs. My brother has a 2019 Regal with 130k miles and he loves it, no issues and it drives as good as new. I have a different GM car with the same engine and it is great, 100k miles without issues. Buick is constantly in top reliability ratings.

@00_UU maybe so, but they are a definite failure in the resale and retaining value departments. I think Im better off not dealing with the folk over at GM ever again. But, that's just my brain and wallet talking.

@@DaveInCanada081 that’s why you negotiate a better price up front and drive your car longer. I bought my GM car with 14k discount and I ended up losing much less in depreciation than I would’ve lost buying a similar sized Lexus sedan. I also spend much less on service vs Lexus. My local GM dealer provides excellent service, much better than I had ever experienced with Honda and Acura dealers across multiple states.

You're getting a Traverse because you don't like the red Buick?

@stephanieray7205 2 separate comments. They are just put together. I don't like red cars either. Between this vehicle and a traverse, I'm going with the Traverse Rs. I like the top model Enclave, but I wouldn't want to pay 10 more thousand to get it. And I'd prefer black on black minus all the chrome that will come with the Avenir. Does that make more sense?

@@KDragg4 yes. That makes much more sense. Thanks!

GMC Acadia is the best out of them.

@@00_UU I might agree. I just want the black on black minus the chrome.

I agree with you that the styling, especially the silhouette, is watered down. Sorry, can't say I agree with the "honestly" looks like a $25K vehicle part, considering what $25K honestly buys today - but I hear your point about its pricing.

Inside it looks like a 60k vehicle. Name one competitor with such amazing new turbo, new infotainment, great ride and ergonomics?

Yeah, so I suggest you Google the average price of a new vehicle today. It’s shocking. You can get almost nothing for $25,000 new, so I’m not sure how you could ever say this car looks like a $25,000 vehicle. It’s a nice-looking vehicle, and I don’t even like SUVs.

What design? Interior is the best in class, literally a huge improvement over current Enclave.

WTH are you talking about???? I COVER ALL THE TRIMS!

He is thoroughly reviewing everything. Please don't discourage that. I, along with many others, absolutely love, every Raiti review. Keep it up Joe. You are the best. ✌️

I want whatever you're smoking 🚬 .... 😭😭😭

Well, Joe, it looks like this person was too busy stuffing twinkies in their face in the back of the classroom instead of paying attention, am I right? ​lol 😅😅

Do be fair, some people do want to know the difference between something like an Audi A4 Prestige Quattro, and an Audi A4 Premium Plus Black Optics Package Quattro.

I guess we will find out!

Nobody is doing that nowadays lol. Keep up.

@user-bo4sm9vf1 You paid Toyota/Lexus shills are easy to spot. 😆

So you're saying both vehicles are bad for your health?

Yea if you’re a Buick it’s lethal lol especially to a man’s scalp!

You are clueless. Buick has top reliability ratings for many years

Your basing it on what knowledge?
