    Many people think Buick only makes cars that appeal to the oldest of drivers. But it may be time to reassess that opinion. With the Enclave crossover-SUV, Buick shows that its vehicles can not only be comfortable and quiet but also, dare we say, cool. The 2008 Buick Enclave isn't Buick's first foray into the world of crossover SUVs but it is the brand's strongest effort yet. Upscale styling, a distinctive interior and an obsessive focus on noise reduction distinguish the 2008 Buick Enclave from the Saturn Outlook and GMC Acadia, which share its underpinnings.

    I can never make up my mind on what my next vehicle should be.
    The Enclave was always a vehicle that I would simply notice every time on the road.
    It must be the choice that was in front of me the whole time.
    Despite me thinking I, a young adult, need a "cool" or sporty and fast sedan or coupe, I just might find that the Enclave actually has the needs I didn't know I wanted.
    Noise reduction in the interior, Big and roomy, Long-trip comfort, Luxury interior (I strongly dislike today's sports car interiors) Luxury exterior (beautiful boxy design and chrome accenting)
    Perfect for me who likes to buy nice things for himself (Luxury), take long and relaxing roadtrips (Comfort), haul lots of baggage or passengers (Space) and BLAST his music inside (Sound Reduction from the outside).

    Took me 6 months to decide on a new vehicle. Drove my brand new White CXL-2 home yesterday. It's going to take me another 6 months to fully learn all of this cars functions and controls. I have to look at the tac to tell if the engine is running, this car is that quiet. Drives and handles like a dream. So far I'm satisfied with my decision. Lot's of room in the back with the seats folded. That's what made me look at this vehicle in the first place.

      I just bought a 2008 Buick enclave. Had a miss between 1st and 2nd gear. They said needs tranny flush. I read reviews of it having a bad transmission. Does anyone have any experience?

    Wow. Just...Wow.
    Our Buick just arrived yesterday off the ship from the mainlind, and wow...I am just speechless.
    It is so nice! We ended up getting our car with Carbon Metallic Black and with an Ebony Interior (CXL2 model).
    It is just a beautiful and stylish car, as it is so big, yet looks small! I love it. Oh, and my dad jsut drove in the garage with it...what a coincidence! Time to have a drooling session with the car!

    A lot of cars have headlights which have little motors which turn up to 15 degrees in each direction at speed with the steering wheel, so you can see around bends.

  • @Deltari09
    @Deltari09 15 років тому +1

    hahaha! i know! its so quiet!
    we have a CXL-2 with the keyless starter. the engine was so quiet that i couldn't figure out how to drive off after inserting the key. i thought that the engine would shut off, but it was simply that quiet!!

    @LorenzoMoore1000 no it shouldn't. buick needed a good car to save them from ending up like pontiac and Saturn. Plus if it was a Cadillac, you would probably pay $20,000 to $30,000 more for it

    Do NOT buy a used 2008 Enclave. The transmission can't find the gears and you'll go through plenty of catalytic converters. I was so happy to dump that heap. Subsequent years must have been much better---either that or i just landed the sourest of lemons.
