Buick Enclave:Does ANYONE Even own this car?

I have see a few (and I stress "few") Enclaves on the road. I have always thought the looked pretty nice, but it is a Buick. And lets face it, GM and Buick have not been producing the best cars in recent years. Anyway, I cam across this Video review about the new Enclave and it said that it's a pretty good crossover! I'm surprised! Does anyone out there own this thing? If so, is it as nice as the video says? I have added the link for those of you who are interested. It's actually a pretty good video! Enjoy!

I have seen a lot of them on the road, but not lately, moreso over the summer, in the more well to do areas. I think the front is real ugly but other than that, yeah its a nice vehicle.

I have seen a couple of them around at first I thought they were grotesque, but the more I see them the less I care. I dont know if it is the looks growing on me or me becoming desensitized to the looks

I've seen a few on the road. I heard it's actually selling well.

For Buick standards or everyone else's standards?

I think it's a boring car. Better than what Buick has put out in the past, but still boring nonetheless.

I honestly don't think I could tell you what an Enclave looks like.

Edit for Google pic.

Actually Buick out scores BMW & Mercedes annually on the JD power & associates owner surveys. Of coarse owner surveys don't mean much. My mother had a 97 park avenue ultra (the supercharged version) for ten years. It was a very reliable car. Even though it was a 2 ton FWD sedan I always enjoyed driving it. She was planning on replacing it with an Enclave, but I talked her into a GMC Acadia. They are basically the same Vehicle, but I felt that the more conservative styling of the Acadia was more eye appealing. It has < 10k miles so Its really impossible to gauge if its a "good car" at this point, that said I am impressed with the initial quality. I don't really care much for big crossovers but I think it is very good for what it is. The ride quality + steering response are worlds better than the luxury SUVs and on par with the few big luxury sedans I've had the displeasure of driving. I love the 3.6L V-6 but it really doesn't belong in this heavy of a vehicle. It revs freely and produces produces its power at a high RPM. This V6 in a solstice would be the cat's pajamas. It gets much better gas mileage than the video suggest, no doubt because of my Mama's driving habits. speed-e, if you have 5 kids, too cool for minivans, and require driving dynamics superior to a SUV.... this car is for you.

we test drove an Acadia and man was that a nice ride. i loved it. too bad my parents don't think we have enough $ to get one. the enclave is uglier but more bang for buck. buick has been making good cars lately! they always have
