Test drove an Enclave the other day and was pretty impressed with it's handling and all around comfort. Also considering Traverse etc. Looking for a larger SUV that gets better gas mileage than my truck. Truck averages 18mpg both city/hwy. The Enclave I test drove averaged 23mpg.

Pros and cons...I'm interested in experiences and suggestions.

Thanks

I have been on vacation. Just saw this.

I have driven the AWD version (Acadia and Traverse)of these for 3 of the last 5 winters. They were each new. The first one did not shift smoothly. I also struggled to get 20 mpg. The 2014 shifted smoothly, and I was able to easily average 21 mpg. For winters, there has been nothing better than the AWD. These vehicles were point and go through any snow or weather (and we did have record snow last year).

I also used mine to tow my livestock trailer. It did a great job, and had plenty of power. I really liked the ability to manuever the trailer with these vehicles.

As for the Buick, I do believe that they use a different glass for quieter ride, as well as other different sound prevention to make the Enclave quieter.

Also, these GM CUVs have a air-bag between the driver and passenger seat, to prevent the driver and passenger from colliding during a side-impact.

If there is not a surviving spouse to obtain the discount as noted, please send me a private message. I will see what can be done to provide you the Family discount.
