I sold buicks for a short time. G.M. really doesn't try to promote it much as a brand in the u.s. Buick is huge in China, where its considered an luxury brand. They're very nice cars that struggle with an undeserved image of being an old person's car. They are among the quietest cars on the road. They've had acoustic glass for years and extra sound absorbing materials in the dash and floor. They're quite than a Cadillac

We are a typical American family (3 school age kids, cats, house in suburbs). Recently bought a 2022 Enclave and we love it! We purchased the Enclave 2nd to the cargo space behind the 3rd row (most 3 row SUV's have little to no space behind the 3rd row). So much room, drives extremely well, and the engine is very powerful. The ride is exceptionally smooth. Gas miles per gallon is fine, and it doesn't require premium fuel. The buying experience was stress free and really a pleasure. Highly recommend families with young kids consider this vehicle.

I drove all 3. I think the Buick is the best car of the 3. Its rear view camera is an AMAZING feature.

I bought a Buick Avenir addition and love it. Quiet, powerful, easy to drive, great in snow and ice. Youthful styling, and plenty of cargo room. Far superior in handling than the Korean options, I know this for fact, because I drove them all when making a purchase for a new SUV.

We test drove this today, really impressive. In the last two weeks, we test-drove the RAV4 Hybrid, Sant Fe and Forrestor. This one had the best of all of them. The resale might not be where some of those others are at, but the price point is exactly where those others are at.

The enclave truly is luxurious, but its size is what sets it apart from its competitors. The Enclave has a usable 3rd row and plenty of cargo space! You can complain about the msrp but since it’s a gm product, you’re going to pay way under. (I’ve found some Avenirs for around 47k) As sales go, it depends on your location. In the Midwest, Buick dealerships can’t keep these Enclaves in stock!

this is a nice suv, very underrated. maybe because they used to make crappy grandma cars and that is what i think of when i think of buick

I got my wife a new enclave last year and we couldn’t be happier. Anyone and everyone that has seen it in person loves it. It’s simple and just beautiful love leaving the house and just staring at it. We considered a telluride yet every time I see our enclave I’m glad we got it instead. Plus it’s so much bigger and more comfortable. Craziest part is the payload capacity on it. Almost 1800 pounds. Also they don’t have log lights those were the turn signals.

Buick designers on Monday: “DAMNIT GUYS WE GOT 1.5 zonks right off the top! I mean who gets half-a-zonk?!”

I've had two Buick enclaves I love both of them. Can't wait till you show the 2021. Thanks 👍

It’s deceivingly large on the inside (very good thing). I leased the Premium model. Very happy. Wife is happy....needed the bells and whistles. Nice job Buick!

Thank you for all of the in-depth reviews on all types of models, keep them coming.

This particular model is not an old person car. I see plenty of families with young children that have these. I’m considering one for my family of five. Good review man. It’s funny though that we consider this a midsize SUV. This thing is freaking huge

I agree on the captains chairs. I'll pay extra for a bench seat with a nice fold down armrest. I'm a fan of the separated sun roofs. Sometimes, the sun shining on my face is too much but having the rear one open by itself would be nice. Nice review on an often overlooked, quality vehicle.

I currently drive a 2016 Buick Enclave Avenir. I love ❤️ it. The three row seating is great. Thanks for posting your video.

“Let me go ahead and dig the key FOB out of my pocket. That’s not the key” 😂😂😂

I think the redesigned Enclave is beautiful! Better looking than a lot of the imports

I enjoyed your review as usual Joe, on this Buick. My brother in law is interested in a the 2021 model. I sent him your video. He really enjoyed your review, going with him to look at models today. He just might be a new Raiti"s Ride subscriber.

Thanks for sharing your inputs about buick enclave i just bought 2021 buick enclave avenir, i love it.

Nice styling, love the front end....interior very nice also.

My first Buick SUV!! Awesome video Joe.

I have the 2018 version of this exact SUV on lease return. With the CPO package I saved 25K off MSRP vs a new 2020 model. Very good buy for the money.

Away from the car I just wanted to point something here... Dear Joe, I really enjoys your reviews around here... this is one of my favorite channels.. please keep up the good work

They are great SUVs but not good for muddin I learned that the hard way lol. Thanks Joe for the awesome review sir.

I’d take the Buick anytime although it’s a old person car.

As always great video !

Buicks are underrated. Ignore the sticker prices though, dealers tend to offer generous discounts on the. We purchased the smaller Envision Preferred trim for 22k and change.

Test drive today. Great great great surprise . So smooth driving handling.and the quietness. I have 3 options in my list now. Grand Cherokee/Ford Explorer/this enclave. I will definitely go Buick . Had one Buick sedan 20 years ago . Never imagine I would go back to Buick. But it is sooo much better than many suv fancy names.

Enclave is Gorgeous!!! Buick has come a long way!! Im on my 2nd Buick Encore!!!

The last car my mom ever bought was a '96 Buick Roadmaster. It was the last true American sedan and the last "road yacht" I ever saw. And it was gorgeous,with it's very beautiful, sleek design with curvaceous features and that seafoam-green color,right out of the pictures of the waters of the Bahamas and Caribbean and the chrome shining like freshly mined and polished silver in sunlight. The bench seats were,of course,long enough to stretch out in,and the ride was smooth and comfortable. Overall, the Roadmaster was very cool,regardless of what my peers may have thought. 😎 👌 Although the relationship with my mother has never been easy and has become more....complicated....with the passing of time,I retain such fond memories of the Roadmaster that,if I were to have a Buick,it would be a Regal GS or even the last-gen 😢 💔 LaCrosse. The aerodynamic bricks that are modern crossovers and SUV's have,with few exceptions,little appeal for me.

The enclave is a nice SUV. Excellent review!!!! 👍

I had a test drive yesterday Raiti I must say I was impressed it wasn't something that I thought I would like but my wife and I both loved the SUV.

Buick is the best of the GM sisters (Acadia being the other), ride quality and quietness are top notch. Price is a tad higher than what you can get for other brands with more performance but the Avenir is still less than top of the line competitors.

I watched until I heard $58k LMAO

I had a 2014 Buick Enclave, 2017 Buick Enclave and just bought a 2021 Buick Enclave. Love this car so much and the 2021 is fantastic!

Nice review as always

I grew up driving Buicks. My first car was a '91 Park Ave, second was a '93 LeSabre and drove both to junk yard with over 200k miles. Grandma had a Roadmaster 😎 I have yet to have a vehicle that measured up to those three cars. Test drove an Enclave today and SOLD...it's a sweet, sweet ride!

That's a great review 👍👍

One of the quietest vehicles in the class. Very classy looking and nice space but I would spring for the more basic trims. The Avenir adds a tad too much cost and it's more aesthetic versus performance related.

Great video!

Love buicks always have .i dont care about the old man rep. Price is just too steep and for that price i agree w/ u needs a pano sunroof . love the vids keep it going

They are out of their minds to want 58 large for this. They clearly don't want to sell cars lol. This should be 37 grand fully loaded out the door

You are the man Joe!! 💪🏻

My grandpa would be proud to drive that around sunny FL!

I have a 2012 enclave and I love it… would love a 2021 as well 😍

Outtake (intake, really) @ 15:47. Even Joe had a stifled laugh at that one. 😂

Great video! Love the car color but I may be biased :)

I'm 34 and I love buick. My family always had Buicks growing up. My inaws have this suv but a 2019 mid trim and it's been solid. Unfortunately they had first year model so alot of re calls etc but it is a lease. The 2021 looks excellent and I believe more reliable. If buick introduces some of the ideas from the envision into the Enclave it could be game changing.

Any tips on how to get rid of the horrible new car smell? It give me a pounding headache. Excellent video, we didn’t know it had the lower level and the 12 volt. Memory seats are my favorite item.

This suv 🚙 is awesome 👏 joe the color is bright the interior and those seats 💺 is so cool 😎 it have lots off space and power good controls and visibility give it up to your camera 🎥 man you team and you joe 👍👍👍👍👍✊✊👌👌👌👊👊👊😉😉😉😉😉😉🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏✨✨✨✨🚙🚙🚙🚙🚙🚙👍💯💯💯💯💯💯👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

my dad came home with this, all fun and games until my mom heard the price.

Great car for picking up your prescriptions

They will never ever make fold down armrests wide enough to be comfortable and they'll never put the wiper under the rear spoiler. If they do, ill give you full credit. You're my go-to guy for car reviews. Don't change a thing. The way you do it is perfect.👍

I am my 3rd Enclave and I am very pleased. A very comfortable ride and great gas mileage and it will move out.

My wife got an Enclave, 2021. She tried the Pilot, Highlander and my MDX. She liked how it had more room for us and our 3 kids and her photography equipment. Palisade would've been an option but they're too overpriced at the moment. I just drove it back and forth from Long Island to Hershey, PA and it was really nice and pleasant. Smoother overall ride than my MDX and better with road/wind noise. Engine is slightly louder than I would like at a 50k price point, (Reserve trim with all the add on packages) but it's not bad or anything, just average. Kids love how roomy it is and I can easily fit my parents too when they join us on long trips.

Nice looking but pricey for a Buick and that sun roof shade is nuts. Thanks for sharing it Joe. Nice review! 👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸

There are so many "Murano" clones (one of the first crossovers) these days but it really is a great and practical design. I personally like the Chevy Blazer RS you reviewed quite a bit as well. The price is a bit high on this one, thats got to be worth a full Zonk.

I went on Vacation to Hawaii and Enclave was the rental place gave me ... i requested an SUV - I didnt specify brand, I really liked it, smooth to drive, quiet and even my cousin fell in-love with it. I think my next vehicle will be Buick Enclave!!

Full size suv, 10 inch longer than others. Just bought 2021, love it. much quieter than Telluride and bigger and more luxury

I do love to chocolate brown on the seats, just like my Stinger.

BUICK Best Underappreciated Investment Creating Kudos

Love my 2019 Enclave!!!

Buick is everything!!!!!! I'm in my 30's and I love my car 🚗

Yo man, enjoy your presentation. Have you though of making some “zonk” merch?

Hey Joey! I love how you review a little bit of everything, man. This Buick is a pretty girl, and a big gal, at that. I get the feeling of a big and curvy Italian gal in her white wedding dress when I gaze upon this Enclave. She makes so much food on a Sunday after mass that ya can just split. Satisfying. :) JV Johnny

When u open the sunroof, it makes a weird sound. For some reason.

From the side looks very heavy like it won’t move

Buick is doing some nice stuff with their lineup!

DOes this have massaging seats? Anyone have a review of those compared to other brands?

I had a 2010 and a 2014 Enclave both fully optioned. Problems with the front end on both of them (Front wheel drive models). There was a suspension knock of some sort I constantly heard on both of them and have yet to ever figure out what it was. The struts wore out well before they should have. Had to replace struts on both around 50k miles, and no, this was not the problem with the knock sound. Various other front end issues over the course of ownership. Also the transmission didn't always shift right in either of them. Sometimes it would randomly shift down with a big clunk, most times it was smooth. Lots of flaring on upshifts and one of them I had to have the transmission replaced due to slipping. The headlights were a royal pain to change out. They seemed like a great value for what you got, always a little out dated in the tech compared to other vehicles in this class but not bad. Not sure I could ever trust a Buick Enclave again if they have not done anything to address the front ends or get better transmissions. Admittedly, I believe the trans in those years was a 6 speed so maybe the new ones are better.

Great car! Much nicer interior integration and did a great job with the information screen versus your standard iPad pop-up in the middle of the dash ... Interesting that if you stand back and remove the Buick logo on the grill, it's very much the same shape as a Mazda Grill. As you mentioned it's highly underrated and doesn't get much attention compared to the foreign brands. These things ride amazing though period. And if they're anything like my 2001, they'll go forever with regular maintenance.

So many mid-sized SUV's to choose from! This one is nice

The storage behind the 3rd row is very large but, and this is a big but, it is not deep enough to hold any spray bottles. The 2022 version, coming out in August 2021 will be deeper to allow the storage of spray bottles. It won't be as wide though. The Palisades and Telluride both have a shitty consealed storage area behind the 3rd row. Almost useless.

Beautiful exterior and in a way also beautiful interior. But it's really bothers me that so many cars don't offer bright interior, like Hyundai Palisade and Genesis GV80 do.

That's about the best looking Buick I've seen but you really have to pay for it.

The 2022 will be refreshed and its beautiful

Much as I like the Enclave, I would consider getting one with the Essence trim package. It would still be luxurious, but to a lower standard of luxury than the Avenir. Its a wonder there was no zonk for the sunroof. I would be content without the sunroof.

The storage tray behind the 3rd row was much much better in the buick compared to the other 2 cars.

Joe and B G M( BIG GUNS MCGEE great job with this video! Some nice interesting features o this car. Well, I used to be a BIG BUICK FAN( I E LESABRE, DUCE AND A QUARTER, Regal, etc), Joe. I feel that the scream I heard while you were driving was the ghost of Buick's past. I am afraid the brand needs a WHOLE ZONK.LOL. That weird shifter has to go they stepped it up a few notches this SUV and brand, Well more of the brand would I feel on the road. Thanks for telling it like it is Joe. RIDE ON, See you guys on another ride! RIDE ON!

Hey 👋 another good car review video 📹 I am liking this BUICK ENCLAVE and it not look or feel like my Great Grandfather's car.

I wish when you are showing mid size 3 row suv's that if the car is equipped with auto parking that you would mention it and show how it works. So when the time comes to buy a car we know witch make and model has that feature.

FWIW, the 2022 Enclave is redesigned and looks great (coming out next May/June). As good as this one looks, the 2022 is streamlined and directed towards a more youthful customer. For 2020/2021 buyers, should be able to negotiate a very good price.

Talking about the GMC Acadia. I still have to edit it and upload it on KZfaq.

If you get a chance, please do the new 2021 Envision! Thanks!

The new 2021 Buick Envision is starting to arrive at dealerships nowadays... looks pretty nice for a two-row CUV!

First time watching you and the zonk thing is confusing a first then more confusing after I realized it's a kind of rating system for you

I've had a Buick it's an 08 it's an enclave and I've had nothing but a nightmare I'm still have it I was not the original owner but there is just been nothing but trouble I mean I've had everything go wrong with it but I've kept it after having it I've suffered through I paid for it but some things I sure as hell hope that nobody ever encounters

I was going to buy the Buick Enclave Avenir AWD but after driving the 2021 Lincoln Aviator Black Label Grand Touring, The buick can't compete. Whats your thoughts?

When Buick builds another grand national ill be interested.

Buick needs to do something that isn't just a shadow of Chevy. They need to take that lovely bof suv platform (short wheelbase only) put the 2.7t with the optional duramax. Give it a unique front seat area and just make it super comfy. They also need to take the ss/camaro platform and make a fullsize comfort focused sedan, as they would be the only ones making those kinds of vehicles for under 100k. 2.0t base engine and 2.7t upgrade option. Just make it the absolutely most comfortable sedan on the market. Big, roomy, plush seats ect. When you look at the demand for used park avenues and lesabres, you know theres a market for those cars new in 2020

Thinking of getting my parents one!

The front grille looks kinda like Mazdas and the overall shape looks closer to minivans than SUVs. Love the interior except for the airvents. They look too large compared to recent trends. The way into the 3rd row seems very large with that tilting 2nd row.

Really like the Buick. Looking forward to the new 2021 Envision.

They didn’t make it a panoramic sunroof because they reserved that for the XT6 which has the panoramic sunroof with the black bar in the middle

You do realize Raiti that you actually don't have to fold the middle row seat forwards in order to get in to the back row seats, there's no seat in the middle of the second row, that space between those seats is a more comfortable access to the back row

So is it a yes? Better then palisade and telluride?

Nice review Joe! Lincoln Aviator next?

hi Raiti , try to turn on the headlight when you filming

Yes! I think the Palisades and Tellurides are waaayyyyy too overrated. When I think of which car is gonna fit stuff from an entire refrigerator or an entire dorm room? Enclave it is! Still not impressed of how Hyundai and Kia dealers still have to put $10k over the MSRP. In addition of garlic kimchi smell on those two.

I think you need to test out the towing capacity and take that boat out on the water!
