I'm glad to hear that you're enjoying your new vehicle! It sounds like the Enclave has a lot of great features, including good acceleration and gas mileage for its size. The ride quality also seems to be very good, and the seats are comfortable. While the third row seat may not be suitable for larger adults, it's great that there is plenty of storage space and AC jacks for entertainment devices. Overall, it seems like the Enclave is a great choice for anyone looking for a luxurious crossover that can seat 6 or 7 people. Thank you for sharing your positive experience!

The ride is very comfortable and the vehicle is roomy. Although I wish the back seats would recline a little more, overall I love this vehicle.

I love this car! After months of research, I finally found the perfect one. It's affordable yet luxurious, and the rides are quiet and smooth. I used to own a Mercedes and was looking for a crossover that would fit my needs, and this one exceeded my expectations. The style and luxury inside and out are amazing. Thank you, Buick!

Took Enclave to its first service at 7500 miles and had no quality complaints for the dealer to fix! Drove to Florida and Hilton Head from Pennsylvania, and the car was perfect.

I had a tough time deciding between the Acadia, Traverse, Murano, and Enclave, but ultimately chose the Enclave due to its excellent value for the price. The luxury SUV was a no-brainer, especially considering it was only $550 more than the Acadia. The Enclave's quiet ride and impressive power are both very impressive. The only downside is the lack of cargo room when the 3rd row is in use. I'm still trying to locate the spare tire! Unfortunately, I'm having trouble with my FOB not recalling my driver's seat and side mirrors.

Beautiful comfortable car! However, it's important to note that the fuel mileage sticker can be misleading. In my experience, I only got 15/20, which was a bit disappointing. My previous Ford and Toyota vehicles actually exceeded their mileage stickers, so I was hoping for the same with this car. Nonetheless, I still enjoy driving it. I do wish that car makers were required to put more accurate mileage on window stickers. Best regards, Temple, Texas.
