I love my Buick!

The 2009 Enclave has been a most excellent vehicle for me, not that it has been without trouble but it has served us so well as a family car, hauling machine, tow vehicle, and vacation transportation.

Best value for the money I could find

Slightly higher mileage than what I was looking for but there was nothing in my price range with even close to the mileage. Honestly blown away by the value I find in the interior. Good horsepower and torque and I'm getting no less than 22 MPG

I'd buy a new or used one again

The Enclave has its issues which I think I've worked through all of them. My Enclave has 174,000. Yes, it has a transmission pattern failure. The wave plates between the 6 forward gears develop metal fatigue, crack and disintegrate. GM repaired mine at somewhere around 70,000. Yes, the engine has what is called, "direct injection". This leads to build up on the values. Use of the fuel additive, Liquid Molly - 2007 will prevent this. But the Enclave is the quietest, smoothest, most spacious ride I've ever had. I'd buy either a new or used Enclave again.

Problematic

After buying my 2009 Buick Enclave as used in 2011 with 30k milestone on it, it has run me with about $1000 worth of repairs on average every year, even as a low use vehicle (7k miles/year). It’s a very comfortable ride on the other hand. I highly recommend getting an extended warranty on this vehicle to protect you.

Buick

This is my wife’s vehicle and she loves it. Wants to buy a new one as the current one has 125,000 miles but it’s still a excellent vehicle.

Crappy Vehicle

Great looks and package but the reliability fails to live up to the packaging. Constantly burning through converters even though little mileage on the car. NOT reliable check the forums!!!!!! I grew up on Buicks and loved them back in the day, don't ever want another again!!!!!

In love with an Enclave

I have had a 2009 Buick Enclave for about 3 years. I LOVE it. I bought it used with 40,000 miles on it. It now has over 130,000 miles on it. When it needed new tires they had to be special ordered because they are large. That costed more than I wanted to pay but it's worth it. The car also needed a new transmission at about 80,000 miles. It was still under warranty so I paid $80 for the tow cost and that's it. I love the double sunroof the TV for the kids lots and lots of space. But my very favorite part about the car is the captain seats in the second row so extra passengers can walk back to the third row. These cars are expensive but they are well worth the money! I only wish I could afford a brand new one.

Lied to again

I was told there was a 3000 mile/3 month warranty for peace of mind should I find needed repairs. Only after buying the vehicle was I told that was powertrain only, so I am dealing with my herniated disc with broken seat warmer.
