Wish I would’ve bought something else

Drivetrain and suspension have been and still are giving me issues. Seems like the tranny is going bad at 175k miles. Have had electrical problems, coolant leaks and other problems, and has a tick in the engine.

2012 Buick enclave

I bought this car for a work vehicle, and it drives like my Cadillac. It’s truly the best car i probably have ever owned. In fact, I’m taking it on our road trip to New Orleans. It runs great, and I have room for the treasures we my find along our journey..

Car is okay but 2.6l engine not so much

I was happy with my 2012 you are going live until the check engine light came on and they told me it was the timing chain. Evidently they are having a ton of problems with timing chains and all the GM 3.6 L motors. And I have been given quotes between 2030 $500 for this repair I don’t think I will be keeping the vehicle.

Junk

I have a Dodge Durango with 298,000 miles on it and the only thing I’ve ever had to do is put a water pump on it. This Buick enclave constantly has something wrong with it. Ignition switch, radio amplifier, ABS sensor in the wheel bearing, motor mount, air conditioning compressor lines, and miscellaneous electrical problems

Extra Smooth Ride

For an SUV, the Enclave has pretty good gas mileage for city and great gas mileage on highway. Lots of interior room for passengers, with 3rd row seating. Digital & monologue clocks. Reverse camera view and the body has a luxurious look!

2012 Buick Enclave

I love this vehicle. I have been in ice, snow, and rutted muddy roads and the all wheel drive works fine. Comfortable seating and quiet. My only complete is the GPS navigation. GMC requires a CD map to assist with navigation. Many streets are not on the map due to new construction. I asked for an updated disc ($175) and the one they wanted to sell me was over 5 years old. I use Garmin with lifetime free updates that also displays speed limits, your speed, traffic (without having to subscribe), and speed checking devices like police radar.

I love my Buick!!!

I had a Buick rendezvous before, and I loved it, the only thing I didn't like about it was the amount of space that the trunk had which wasn't much. I now have the Buick Enclave and I absolutely love it, it has more space for the trunk, it has 7 seats where the Rendezvous. had. The Enclave has heated leather seats, back up camera, hitch and so much more!

2012 Buick Enclave

Although this vehicle is pretty to look at and a very smooth ride, the upkeep in replacing parts is very very expensive. There is absolutely nothing cheap about this car. For the price is costs to replace parts, it certainly needs it just as often as any other manufacturer I've ever bought from before. I wouldn't mind the higher sticker cost of parts if they had better quality and longevity. But alas. They do not I'm my experience with you vehicle.

Love It

I love my car. I just recently purchased it due to being in an accident and having my 2004 Buick totaled. I was sad to lose my car since it only had 62,000 miles on it, but I am very happy with my purchase!

Great track record

I have been very pleased with this car, it was the most expensive car I have ever owned but has been the most dependable as well. Great comfort, design. Been very practical for hauling 7 people , also use it to haul supplies, very helpful.

I'll never buy American, ever again

They age terribly. A timing chain problem cost more $3,000 + $2,000 for the rental car. Immediately thereafter, in 2 days, serpentine belt. Right after that, within days, the transmission (and another $2,000). GM cars are garbage.

Love my Buick

Growing up, my Dad would only buy Buick Roadmasters. They were great cars, excellent quality and dependability but short on style. Then, I started noticing this classy looking SUV on the road and was surprised to find it was the new Buick look. The quality and dependability is still there and I love my Enclave. I like a bigger car with lots of cargo space and this car fits the bill..great ride and interior comfort. My Dad would be proud.

Exceptional Ride.

I really enjoy driving my Enclave. It isn't the best on gasoline but you have plenty of power and very little problems. I would recommend it to anybody. The ride is very very quiet.
