  I really love this Enclave! - 2008 Buick Enclave
  By New Buick Lover - February 5 - 12:02 pm

  I am very pleased with my 2008 Enclave. I have owned the vehicle for six months and I have had no problems at all. We went on a road trip in October from Arkansas to Florida with four adults and all of our luggage and there was plenty of room for everyone. The Turn by Turn Navigation was wonderful! The car is very comfortable and quiet on the road. I love the XM radio and also the fold flat third row seating. I had a Tahoe and to get the extra space in back you had to remove the seats and they were heavy! And also where were you going to put them?! The first six months have been a joy with this car!

  The older crowd still love the Buick - 2008 Buick Enclave
  By Dee - January 22 - 12:10 pm

  I never thought that I would buy what was considered an old persons car, whether I was young or old. Now, I am older, I love the Buicks. I researched a lot of cars and SUVs before making this choice. This SUV has something about its style and technology that when I drive it, not only am I sold but my family is happy with my choice.

  Highway is great - 2008 Buick Enclave
  By Don Millsap - January 19 - 7:15 pm

  We purchase a new car about every 14 months, this is one of the best cars weve ever owned. Had no problems so far. Like the manual shifter in the mountains.

  A great, but not perfect - 2008 Buick Enclave
  By erumo - December 31 - 12:56 am

  Overall a very good vehicle. Im very glad that I overcame my bias that Buick is for grandparents. This one is definitely worth checking out when considering Lexus or BMW. My minor negatives: Im 511" and once adjusted the steering wheel almost totally obstructs the speedometer. The navigation system is hands down the worst one Ive owned. It often will not recognize side roads and has poor voice prompts for upcoming turns. I find myself frequently looking at the screen when I can rely completely on voice prompts with my other vehicles. Finally, the second row captain seats are great, but a console option between them would be a welcome addition.

  Finest and Above Classs - 2008 Buick Enclave
  By Dr. Philip LeNoble - December 19 - 3:50 pm

  We owned Bently, Porsche 911 Cabrio, GMC Denali and currently a 2007 Jaguar Vanden Plas sedan and wanted to downsize from from three vehicles to two so we sold the Porsche and the Denali....and being very picky, I came upon The Buick Enclave AWD CXL which I find is indeed superior in quality, entertainment,technology, safety features, ride, eye candy, interior comfort,back up camera, NAV system, stereo sound system, rear seat DVD, cargo room. remote start, automatic tailgate lift, wood grain and overall sophistocation. Climate control. Transmission is smooth and the get-away at the light is quick as is the boost from the automatic transmission to the six-speed manual adaptation. 15.5 mpg city

  So far I love it - 2008 Buick Enclave
  By jgeiss - December 18 - 12:30 am

  Just purchased 2 weeks ago and really like this vehicle. Gave up fully loaded 2004 Tahoe and thought I was going to miss it. Not yet. Drives like a luxury car and has so much room.

  This Aint Your Grand Pas Buick - 2008 Buick Enclave
  By j graham - November 25 - 10:40 pm

  I was a little unsure going from a Lexus RX 300, but now I can tell you I have surely traded up! It felt a little big at first, but I have come to love the looks, driveablity and functionality. It has plenty of power. I got very concerned during the high gas prices recently, but my mileage has actually improved. I have put on 10000 miles in 5 months. I get about 19 in my combo city/interstate work commute driving and about 27, yes 27 on the open highway. Also recently during the hurricane damage and recovery it has come in very handy making trips to Lowes and Home Depot. We got it fully loaded with AWD. We love all the features - lots of luxury and a sport drive.

  Way to go GM! A great luxurious ride. - 2008 Buick Enclave
  By Dan - November 20 - 3:16 pm

  Wanting to replace my Escalade, I looked at Mercedes, Lexus, Infiniti, Acura, & Mazdas. I then found the GM Lamda platform of which Traverse caught my eye first. I then drove the Outlook and Acadia but after I drove the Enclave I knew! It had such an incredibly smooth, quiet ride with technology only found in more expensive vechiles. After I get over the shock that I am driving a Buick (it looks so damn good for a Buick!), all else has been a fantastic experience for me. This platform should help Americians look at buying a great product from their own country again.

  Great Crossover SUV - 2008 Buick Enclave
  By Texas Owner - November 15 - 12:21 pm

  We absolutely love this crossover. We receive many compliments on its styling. Absolutely no problem other than the transmission hesitates on occasion. There is a program change we are considering which Im told will seem like a 50 hp boost..downside Im told might be a lost in fuel economy (Currently 17.9 MPG in town and consistently with hard driving on the freeway 21+ MPG). We bought the factory running boards-they are very helpful for some elderly folks we transport and it really dresses up that vehicle..and they fit perfectly into the styling. Only downside, power lift hits our garage door (triggers automatic close) so we have to turn it off when we drive into the garage.
