The first reaction when I pull up in the 2016 Buick Enclave is, \u201cOoh, a Buick!\u201d Friends and family would immediately peek their heads in to see what kind of luxury could be found inside. However, the Enclave is not what many would expect.<\/p>\n

2016 Buick Enclave Review \u2013\u00a0Slightly Unexpected<\/h3>\n

People would ask me if I loved it and I wasn\u2019t able to give a whole-hearted thumbs up. The interior was unquestionably nice but, for some reason, I had a hard time figuring out why I wasn\u2019t wowed by Enclave at first. I just couldn\u2019t put my finger on it. Then, toward the end of my week-long review, it became clear. The Enclave does not give off a pretentious feel. It doesn\u2019t scream, \u201cI\u2019m expensive!\u201d but, rather, it allows the driver and passengers to have a comfortable and easy ride without being worried they\u2019ll ruin anything. It\u2019s really made for everyday family use.<\/p>\n

For example, the control cluster contains standard meters and a simple one-color digital display. At the same time, there\u2019s on-board Wi-Fi and advanced collision warnings.\u00a0Rear seats have manual levers to adjust them up and down\u00a0but the back also has\u00a0an entire\u00a0climate\u00a0control unit with digital display\u00a0and an\u00a0entertainment system to keep the kids occupied.\u00a0The Enclave has a nice mix of functionality and convenience without overdoing either.<\/p>\n

The Enclave, despite the size is fairly easy to drive. The ride is smooth and only a slight roll was noticed. That\u2019s a pretty big deal when you consider how large the Enclave is. It handles well and the turning radius is what would be expected. The middle console is a bit high so be careful that your shoulder doesn\u2019t get sore.<\/p>\n

2016 Buick Enclave Review \u2013\u00a0Looks Can\u00a0Be Deceiving<\/h3>\n

The polished exterior is deceiving with almost mini-van proportions fill the interior. There\u2019s plenty of room in each of the three rows of seats, with two bucket seats in the center and three seats in the rear. Getting in is easy while getting out is a bit more difficult. I\u2019d suggest putting those agile young whippersnappers or your four-legged family members in those seats.<\/p>\n

\"Cars<\/p>\n

The 2016 Buick Enclave is a great choice for large families that refuse to get a mini-van and who appreciate a slightly neater appearance. It has a nice mix of functionality and convenience while keeping up a sport yet sleek look.<\/p>\n
