Replying to: robert52 (Jan 06, 2008 5:04 pm) The compact spare is underneath the vehicle, roughly under the rear storage area behind the 3rd row seat. To get to it you remove the storage tray behind the 3rd row seat and use the "tire iron" wrench from the jack area to lower the spare to the ground (on a cable). The owner's manual has a detailed explanation on the complete process to change a tire - including details on how to remove the spare tire in the event it gets "stuck" from coming down from its mounting location. Good luck.

I'm getting 20.9 mpg on mostly open road driving. It's like a tank. Originally ordered with the middle console and was called by my dealer telling me it wasn't available, so my car would come without. That was a blessing in disquise, as I had changed my mind after ordering, but was too late to call. Took me awhile to learn all the bells and whistles, mine is fully loaded except for the dvd but I have two 10" portables for my grandkids, which they like better than the small screens. The 10 speaker Bose system is so awesome. The 1st song I played is "hold on tight to you dreams". Felt like a teenager again. It's a fun vehicle. And I think Buick needs a commercial with better music instead of the old fuddy duddy stuff. Mine took 10 weeks, received it 12/18. You won't be sorry you got an Enclave. My husband has the Rendevous, 24 mpg, pretty thing with all the extras too. They get a bum rap. Replies to this message: nunzi (Jan 18, 2008 11:05 am)

Replying to: leftygolfer42 (Jan 05, 2008 7:48 am) I agree, Steve. I got my Enclave on 12/18/07. I'm like a 16 year old with her first vehicle. I love driving it and find every excuse I can to drive it. I have the 2-wheel drive model with the 4 captain's chairs and package 3 navigation system.   I love the XM radio, Bose sound and the navigation system. OnStar, of course, is wonderful. I'd had it my Tahoe but it was the analog version and had been inoperable for about a year so it is good to have OnStar back again.   The car drives like a dream and hugs the road like a much bigger vehicle. My husband always comments on how it hugs the road on curves. I helped move our daughter to a new apartment earlier this month and was amazed at how much I could get into the vehicle with the 3rd row seats down and the 2nd row captain's chairs moved forward.   I have no complaints so far and get lots of compliments on the car's styling, interior and exterior design.   A funny story about the navigation system. I work in a very small town and the work address in our multiple building location is the same for everyone. When I drove up to my building the navigation system gave me the building's street address. I've worked at this location for 30 years and never, ever knew that there were individual building addresses. Neither did anyone else I talked to!   This is the first car in many, many years that I look forward to driving every day.

Replying to: dianej (Jan 05, 2008 8:17 am) Just got my Enclave. I sell cars and have not be this interested in a while. Traded in an avalanche for better gas millage but I am only getting 20. my avalanche got 18.   The noise is from the pass door seal. have your dealer look at the seal. I sold an Enclave to a engineer who had the same problem. Service did not know what to do so he figured it our. Take a look at you upper door or pass seal.   Any one know about the patch on the trans computer ?

Replying to: steve_ (May 09, 2007 9:41 am) Traded my 04 Cad SRX. ordered Enclave Nov.1, 2007. Just got it today Jan 29, 2008. Worth the wait, love it and so does everyone else. Much quieter and smoother than SRX. Replies to this message: nunzi (Feb 13, 2008 4:22 pm)
#163 of 226 our 6 week old enclave. by joehose29 Jan 30, 2008 (2:12 am)
Got the enclave on 12-12 with all the bells and whistles,early christmas for the wife. She loved it! It handles the road well, quiet ride, onstar,dvd,and stereo great, but acceleration seemed off. After 1 week check engine light came on and was told it came on because the wife got gas with car running and light would go off after around 50 miles.Also 1st tank of gas highway and local 13(ouch) miles per gallon. Check engine light went off in a few days, but getting on a highway or changing lanes where get up and go was needed, it didn't go.Second tank-12.5 MPG,3rd and 4th tank-13.5MPG WOW!!!! Also we noticed auto engine start would work sometimes,then only when you were right in front of car, then on around 1-18 would not start car at all. Also back door would not open or close from remote or button on door and a few times couldn't even open it manually. Having a three year old daughter,finally got it in to service on 1-28. Turns out cam sensor on engine went causing bad gas mileage,poor acceleration, and remote start malfunction. Also pin in remote was out causing back door not to open. Parts are ordered,will get back and give a follow up on this beautiful looking, super quiet riding,GAS GUZZLING machine. PS.. 5th & 6th tank between 13-14 mpg. My wife also isnt a herky-jerky driver and doesnt have a lead foot like myself. All driving has been 60-40,local to thruway driving.
