Why We Drove It: The Buick Enclave ranked highest in its class in our APEAL study and it received a Top Safety Pick rating from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety.
In surveys that J.D. Power and Associates has conducted with verified owners of the 2008 Buick Enclave, the people that actually own and drive one told us:
“(The) combination of fit and finish and luxury options (is) extraordinary for the price.”
“It handles ice and snow better than any 4-wheel or AWD vehicle I’ve ever owned or driven.”
“Tight turning radius makes this vehicle outstanding in maneuvering.”
“The interior design and layout (is) better than the other CUVs (with) a more luxury feel.”
“Incredible sound proofing and quality of construction.”
“Space behind third row is exceptional – more than Yukon.”
“V-6 engine is fantastic.”
“Transmission is great for uphill and slowing on downhill.”
“The spaciousness of the interior is outstanding.”
“Most people can’t believe it’s a Buick.”
Top 3 Owner-reported Problems with the Enclave:
1. Automatic transmission hesitation and delay between gears
2. Excessive wind noise
3. Automatic transmission shifts at the wrong time

My wife and I have a leased Q56 that we will be turning in shortly. We have started looking at whats out there. We test drove the Audi Q7 and Enclave. The verdict, there is good value in the Buick.
