2011 Buick Enclave Review
While remaining the same, especially in his four years on the market, Buick full-size crossover with three rows is still very attractive choice for a very competitive segment. 2011 Buick Enclave is basically the same vehicle that we saw last year - and we are with it. Although it shares the platform (called "lambda") with a pair of cousins named GM's Chevrolet Traverse and GMC Acadia, Buick Enclave sports its own identity. Therefore, it offers luxurious, stylish and family-friendly luxury crossover.

Although it shares the platform (called "lambda") with a pair of cousins named GM's Chevrolet Traverse and GMC Acadia, Buick Enclave sports its own identity. Therefore, it offers luxurious, stylish and family-friendly luxury crossover.
Among the many strengths of the Buick Enclave is its powerful V6, comfortable and quiet, massive capacity and excellent crash test results. Buyers can choose between a configuration with seven or eight passengers in the beautiful and well-equipped cabin. The above features a pair of bucket seats in the second row, while the second has a bank of three seats. These approvals are ideally situated in attractive location, the curves of the leaf.
Despite the generous measure of functionality, it is true that the 2011 Buick Enclave is still not responding when the minibus is a practical, Enclave offers less cargo space, and its lack of sliding doors are difficult to load the rear passengers. By his account, even if it is a sheet metal: This Buick has a lot more stylish than any minivan.
In fact, lined up against rival premium brands like Acura MDX and Lexus RX 350, the Buick Enclave still looks good in terms of performance characteristics of luxury and style. Some of the buyers who attend other premium brands Buick could smell the image hard to shake the old man and the cabin materials sometimes inconsistent. Buyers might consider more traditional Ford Flex, Hyundai Veracruz and Mazda CX-9, all of which have their own strengths. In general, however, the Buick Enclave is presented as a good choice for families looking for space, style and luxury at a price that will not break the bank.

Interior Design and Special Features
Enclave cabin has a cozy atmosphere with its upscale and elegant dash wood grain messages. There are chrome everywhere, though, which means dazzling reflections when the sun is at certain angles. Two other drawbacks include small and indistinct buttons for audio and climate control, and outward visibility is compromised more than competitive vehicles.
On the positive side, is one of the most capacious Enclave crossover SUVs on the market. It is 19 cubic meters of usable space behind the third row of seats, 68 cubic meters 60/40 points in the third row folded on the floor and a huge (though not quite class minibuses) 116 cubic feet with second row folded. Third row access was facilitated by the tilt and slide function of the second row of seats, but requires a little more 'agile back there, and the Enclave the most claustrophobic third row that the Ford Flex.
Driving Impressions
"Carlike" is a term often applied to a crossover SUV. In reality, does not apply to a huge Buick Enclave 2011, nearly 5,000 pounds on the scales and four-wheel drive, in fact, we found that the Enclave feels larger and more cumbersome on the road a few crossover rival.
However, 3.6-liter V6 engine of the Enclave is powerful enough in most situations, and while the handling is not alive or inspiring, it is stable and secure. For 2011 Buick Enclave also shines on the road with his travels quiet ride and suspension compliance.
Price $ 35 865
