Great To Drive Anywhere ... Waiting For Reliability As Mileage Goes Up. — Great acceleration, braking and handling with comforts and conveniences. 21 MPG highway and 16 city. Appearance appealing and modern. Fit and finish is average to above. Problems with driver's seat 3 times, recall on wind shield washer and a few software updates for transmission and oil change indicator.

Exactly What I Was Looking For! — Absolutely love it! Drove to Georgetown because loved the deep purple color of this vehicle. Even though 2009 model, have free OnStar and XM radio... I was glad I made the drive from Houston to get a better deal...My advice to others, LOOK AROUND!

Great Travel Car! — Great SUV. Drive with quality and style! Performance is OK for a 6 cyl. Looks great, Drives great! Gas mileage is a little on the low side but it is a big 6. We have loaded this truck / car to the max on many occasions to and from Colorado, all over Texas. Including hauling my son and two dogs one as big as a person! Plenty of room. Love it!

2009 Buick Enclave Cxl — Disappointed with interior as the leather seats are not all leather. The sides are nylon or something, Why? The DVD is loud and takes longer than my Lexus. Also, as these are typically used for family haulers, the tracks for the 2nd row captains chairs are not covered and the kids constantly drop things that fall in them. Can't they make something for this?

Pros

Very comfortable to drive, quiet
Seats 6 adults with ease--the 3rd row seat is what sold us on the car--very roomy
Low maintenance schedule--simple to service
Heavy feel with the extra insulation, thick glass which adds to quiet ride
Great sunroof in front and skylight in the back add natural light to the car
Tinted windows keep hot sun out

Cons

Actual gas mileage is 13.5 mpg in city with 6 adults 21 highway
One person in car on a flat surface (perfect conditions)  the mileage improves to 17 city, 24 highway

We Really Enjoy The Room And Comfort Of This Car — We have been on several trips and have really appreciated the quiet ride and ease of driving. After driving 400 miles you feel relaxed. Couldn't say that with our previous SUV. The Bose sound system is clear and strong. The navigation is simple to program and use. We like the cool seats in summer and seat warmers in winter. The storage is wonderful with the seats folding flat to the floor we could easily get a treadmill in the back.

Buick Enclave - An Suv Neatly Wrapped In Tech & Luxury — I purchased this 2009 Buick Enclave with 39k miles as a one owner vehicle. Then added 15k miles in a short seven months. During that time we had taken 6 road trips of 1000 miles or more. It is has become the "go to" vehicle for family trips. It's quick, quiet & comfortable. I have a heavy foot that averaged 21+MPG. It offers XM radio, DVD w/ wireless headphones, navigation, multiple climate zones(driver, front passenger & rear) plus hot/cold front seats. The sunroof and panoramic skylight keep the interior from feeling claustrophobic. The Buick Enclave is the nicest vehicle I have ever owned. I would recommend it to anyone that wants the heft of an SUV neatly wrapped in high end tech and luxury.

Classy Car — This car has such a smooth, tight ride. It is a dream to drive!! Every seat is comfortable and easy to get in and out of. The interior is beautiful as is the paint on the exterior. Speaking of the paint, there is some chipping on the door jams and surface scratches. It doesn't seem to have a good protectant over the paint.
