  Love my Enclave! - 2008 Buick Enclave
  By Matt - October 21 - 5:48 pm

  In June 2014, I purchased a 2008 Buick Enclave CXL at around 80,000 miles. It has been a great car. I got it in great condition. Right now it is at around 115,000, and Ive only had to replace the spark plugs(due at around 100,000 miles, but got extra out of them), brake pads, and headlamp bulbs. This car was a great buy!

  119,000 miles in 5 years proves this is an excellent car - 2008 Buick Enclave
  By tinyelvis - July 23 - 8:47 pm

  I have updated my Enclave in this forum since newly purchased in Aug 2007. It still rides great. Everything works as well as the day I bought it. Seats are showing minimal wear for the time/mileage. Paint still looks showroom new. Have I had issues? You bet. Have they been resolved? Yes, and not always the first time. Five times a year we head to our vacation home, tacking on 2800 per trip. I can drive the entire 16 hours straight thru...no back or neck or shoulder pain. We easily haul 6 people and all their stuff. Repairs paid by GM: Tranny at 65k wheel hub assembly at 76k. Repairs paid by me: door hinge 1 set of rotors 2 sets of brake pads Fluids. $1200 for engine gaskets at 116,500.

  The Most Awesome Vehicle We Have Ever Owned! - 2008 Buick Enclave
  By bob_w - November 1 - 3:52 pm

  We bought our Enclave in August of 2007. We have had only 1 problem. The GPS unit just did stop working. Other than that it has been extremely reliable. It rides like a dream and is very versatile. We keep a car for a long while, therefore we spend a lot of time in selection. We drove all vehicles in this class before making our decision. My wife just knew that she wanted the Volvo before we started. 13 vehicle test drives later we are picking the options and color of our new Enclave. If I had to replace it today, I would probably get it again!

  Enclave Driving for Almost 2 Years - 2008 Buick Enclave
  By personal - July 4 - 12:45 pm

  I read a blog before we purchased who advised to purchase the back-up camera system due to the blind spots. I took that advise & it was right on. Im about 55" and my complaint is the visor doesnt block the sun when it is on the Drivers side. Lethargic pick- up is my other complaint. There is a lag when slowing down and then gaining acceleration to pass another car. Also a little thing but important to a woman is the hook on the back of the drivers seat is useless.

  Love My Buick - 2008 Buick Enclave
  By Bing - June 29 - 9:15 am

  My Buick Enclave is best riding vehicle that I have ever had. The Enclave rides so smooth on the Interstate. I like all of the safety features standard on the Enclave. People ask me if I like my Enclave, I tell them no I love my Enclave. Gas mileage in cit could be much better.

  Best car Ive ever owned - 2008 Buick Enclave
  By Joe - February 23 - 4:34 pm

  By far, the best car Ive ever owned (including Lexus, Acura, BMW, etc). Quieter than all of the previous cars, comfortable and great use of space. Incredible amount of space considering exterior dimensions. This is the first car Ive ever owned that I will buy another of the same type.

  Very smooth, comfortable, quiet ride. Good low speed torque. Steering & cornering extremely precise. Feels like its on rails. Fun to drive. A great road car. Lots of useful gadgets & options and they all work. Buick can be proud of this one.

  Best CUV on the Market, regardless of price - 2008 Buick Enclave
  By Proud Buick owner - October 23 - 7:43 pm

  We have about 6,000 miles on this great, great car. It is fun to drive, has exceptional room, is really comfortable, and everyone else loves it too. The interior has absolutely no cheap look or feel. So what if there is fake wood trim. I would rather have that than have to worry about keeping the finish on real wood. The transmission has been no problem at all. It is very smooth, and the car is powerful enough to easily accelerate to highway speeds when merging with traffic. I looked at the MDX, and the Mazda whatever it is numbered. They dont even come close to the value in this vehicle.
