Enclaves had bells and whistles.
We love our enclave! We love all the bells and whistles: leather seats, seat warmers, remote hatch/lift, 3 rows with captains chairs in the 2nd row, Bluetooth capability, OnStar... We could go on. We have had no major problems whatsoever and it drives so smoothly! We would highly recommend!

This car has everything you could want in a vehicle and is affordable.
This is probably the best car that I have ever owned. It has a great feeling ride, plenty of cargo room and comfortable seats.

Enclave the car I've been looking for.
I absolutely love my vehicle. I was looking for a car to fit a family of 6 and this had what I was looking for. It has third row seating with captains chairs in the middle row allowing for easy pass through by older children. It came with a built in DVD player for long trips and vacations which my kids love. Has plenty of legroom all around for seating comfort. Bluetooth adaptability for easy hands free phone usage. CD player with touch screen navigation, radio function and came with rear view backup camera to make backing up so much easier. She runs smooth even on the roughest of dirt and gravel roads where I live. The double sunroof moonroof was a plus for my family. She comes with dual climate control for both front passengers as well as rear climate control. In dash system tells you when tires are low and when it is time for the oil change in case stickers fall off as mine usually do. Gas mileage is good roughly 18 miles per gallon city and about 28 miles per gallon on highway.

It holds up to 7 people and if very comfortable to drive.
Overall I've been very happy with my vehicle. It drives nice, is very comfortable, and I've had minimal maintenance issues. The biggest problem I had was the air conditioner went out at around 3 year and 45k miles. But luckily the factory warranty covered me for 4 years or 50k miles. My biggest complaint is I feel like the entertainment system isn't as advanced as other brands.

It is has good features but some issues.
It is awesome and comfortable. I love the sunroof and it drives very smooth. I do not like the gas mileage I have to fill up my tank quite a bit. The car has great safety features. I love the camera for backing up and the blind spot lights on both side mirrors. The heated and cooling seat feature is also great!
accountCircle Leigh C
My car has a smooth comfortable ride and can accommodate 6 adults or 4 adults and lots of luggage.
One of the things I like most about my 2014 Buick Enclave is the ride. It's very smooth and comfortable. I wish it got better gas mileage.
accountCircle Jessica J

My Buick enclave is an excellent vehicle to own for a large family.
I did have to replace electronic brake sensor which cost around $500 but other than that I love it. It has plenty of room with the third row. My family couldn't be happier with it.

Junk
I have had no but problems with this car - aweful. Just to change a headlight $300 the battery is under back seat. Alarm system lock up car
accountCircle Jonathan B
Excellent luxury SUV, if only you didn't have to drive it everywhere.
Overall comfort is fantastic, and the features (from sound to environmental controls, moveable seats, shaded moon/sunroof) are high quality luxury linings of the car. However, the reliability of the vehicle is questionable. Every week, I drive with paranoia, wondering what small, but pricey, part will fail next.
accountCircle Jacob F
2014 Buick enclave, reliable and cheap for a 7 passenger vehicle.
Has known transmission issues in the wave plate between 3-5 gear. Causes hard shifts when re-accelerating from a no throttle drift or slight brake. Basic features but comes stock with back-up camera and sat. Radio. All cloth seats and a 3rd row seat. Also love the three separate climate controls for passenger and rear seats.
accountCircle Logan K
The ac in the vehicle will break and they will not do anything about it to fix it.
The air in the car does not work right. It is a known issue and they do not do anything about it. You can get it fixed, but from I have seen it seems to break again. The heat has no issues though, so if you just do not want or need air you will be fine. When the air is broken is blows out hot air.
accountCircle Amanda T
The ruby red Buick enclave.
This Buick enclave is great for the average mother, elder or even single person. It has all the bells and whistles including a sun roof, ac and heating, stereo system, outside bumpers, cruise control, and smooth driving. It can seat up to 7 people at a time including trunk space for traveling. It is great for big families or carpooling around town.
accountCircle Dana T
I like the car but do not love it. Refer to the other one.
I think the car is okay, I like certain features but not all features I might recommend the car to a friend if they do not have a large family or haul a lot, as the car is very tight and sometimes can be crowded in the back seat. Overall I do not love Buick's quality.
accountCircle jenna B
I am not sure the height of the car but it is pretty tall and it is a good size.
There is no problems with my vehicle, it is very reliable and I love my car. It is a smooth ride and really comfortable to be in. I love the features and the sound system is very good. The interior and exterior are very good and I will continue to drive this care until I cannot drive it anymore.
accountCircle Stacy M
Good interior design and roominess for a small family, the backseat like most vehicles can be tight for taller people.
I like the size of it. It has had numerous repairs and considering I don't even have 40k miles on it and have been driving it for five years seems problematic. It also struggles when increasing speed to get on highway etc, it has a jerk to the acceleration.

I love the Buick enclave!
This vehicle is very reliable. The only problem is that it is not super efficient on gas. Otherwise, it is a very nice car, there’s an air control unit in the front and back, the car is very spacious, and it has three rows of seats, the seats in the middle row are separated.
accountCircle Telisha S on June 7, 2021
Perfect vehicle for families.
My Buick enclave is wonderful. It is very spacious and gives my children and their friends the space the need! I have had this vehicle for 5 years and have not had any major issues besides changing the light build. If I had to recommend this vehicle it would be for family that need space for the children.

The vehicle has great miles per gallon. It is reliable, well built, spacious and comes with a GPS. It has built in OnStar features so help is always available. The vehicle runs very quietly. It is has awesome speakers, SiriusXM radio and fantastic playback qualities.

likeFilled Sandi Z.

I love my Enclave! Only cons would be the expense of replacing the headlamps. Also I had trouble with the radio display during extreme cold weather. This happened only once. I love the look, the way it drives, the upgraded features- pretty much everything about this vehicle.

likeFilled Anna R.

It has a lot of space and rides somewhat smoothly. Great for families and long road trips. It has a nice and clean look to it and the leather adds a clean finish. I also enjoy the radio and it has a good sound system.

likeFilled Emily J.

It is visually appealing and very comfortable. Decent gas mileage and plenty of room. It is a 7 passenger vehicle, great for trips and driving the family around. Easy to keep cleaning and all of the extra additions you would want like sunroof, heat and cool seats, etc.

Cons from Owners

dislikeFilled Katie S.

I love my vehicle and have no cons other than gas mileage. It has everything I wanted and more. It has all storage and room I could ask for and all of the extras. It has everything we were looking for in a vehicle.

dislikeFilled Jessica W.

Cost. I purchased this vehicle used do to the extensive cost for new off the lot vehicles. Although features are comparable to other brand vehicles at the same price point. Leather interior on the center console wore more than expected and will likely need to be replaced. Cargo space below the surface is small and difficult to store things.

dislikeFilled Karen B.

The cons would be that it is a bigger body of an SUV. I have a difficult time trying to collapse to allow for more storage place. There are not any cup holders in the back and the front row folks are constantly being handed drinks and etc to hold. The holders on the door are not wide enough to hold a sport cup and coming from practices and carpooling is difficult most times.

dislikeFilled Sandi Z.

Expense of replacing headlights - the dealer said they had to remove whole front panel and it cost several hundreds of dollars! I had trouble with my radio display on one occasion in subzero weather.

dislikeFilled Anna R.

It rides somewhat bumpy and it occasionally makes a weird noise when driving. It could be a little bit smoother but it is pretty good. Also it beeps too much when getting in and out and everything. Especially when you are not wearing a seatbelt.

dislikeFilled Emily J.

It is hard to park sometimes just because it is a larger SUV. But that is really the only thing I can think of. No other cons that I can really think of my family and I love this car and it has been really great for us.

How Reliable Is The 2014 Buick Enclave?

Yes this vehicle is very reliable. It is been a great purchase for us as a family vehicle. We have had no problems with this vehicle yet.
Steph M.
Yes, it is. It has not had any recalls. I keep it regularly serviced so it runs smoothly. I have driven it out of state many times and no problems.
Craig E.
I have only had one problem but does not affect the ride. The driver's seat has come loose from the frame and rocks a little.
Gerald A.

Is The 2014 Buick Enclave A Good Value?

We bought this vehicle used after a lease turn in. We paid about half of what it cost brand new. It was a very good value for us.
Steph M.
For the year and miles it is a great value. I bought it used from carmax for $35,000. It only had 28,000 miles. I bought it in 2016 so it wasn't that old.
Craig E.
A little high if you buy a new. However, I buy used and the vehicle is a fair value for the quality of the vehicle.
