The Enclave is worth the purchase! by beetle8

For anyone speculating on getting an Enclave or negotiating your deal for your new Enclave, I just want you to know that the Enclave is worth every penny! I have my new 2008 Enclave for just a month and it is a joy to finally ride in a quality vehicle that makes driving fun, comfortable, classic, innovative, stylish and safe! I was fortunate to get a great deal at my dealership and they have treated me and my family very good!
Recently, we took two family vacation trips (over 10 hours each way driving) and the Enclave performed smoothly, comfortably and entertaining all the way!! My three kids especially enjoyed the ride because each sat in their seat which they described it as their "own private airplane." With all the basic amenities to the Enclave, it was well worth every penny!

Hi there, Do you mind if I ask you, how much you ended paying for it and which accesories and style did you get on it?
Thanks

Sure,
The total package came to $38,5000 which includes OnStar Navigation (voice), Hands Free phone, XM Radio, DVD package, automatic lift gate & 5 year warranty on all parts. The style is Cocoa Mettalic which looks great in good weather and in the rain!
Let me know if this helps.

What about the power? by gaawb1

Am seriously considering buying the Enclave but am very worried about the lack of power (i.e. pulling out into traffic, passing cars, etc.) I have been reading about in the forums. I'm not trying to get anyone down about their purchase - it's a beautiful vehicle and a no-brainer if power is not an issue. My local dealers are out of them so I can't test drive one. Would love to hear from as many owners as possible. Thanks very much.

Great question! I was a bit concerned about this issue before I purchased my Enclave YET when I drove it for over 10 hours on a family vacation trip on the major interstate highways, it PERFORMED BETTER THAN EXPECTED! I got up to speed faster than I anticipated with this V6 engine! Once I reached my MPHs, the Enclave cruised through traffic! Overall, the Enclave has THE POWER!!
Let me know if this helps.

My wife and I test drove the AWD CXL and it has good power overall. It probably isn't as fast as the Acura MDX, but it does the job. Why spend an extra $10K on the MDX, which has less options and just a little more power? We have researched and driven just about every SUV on the market and the Enclave is our top pick! You get tons of standard options, lots of cargo space (more than some of the largest SUVs on the market!), 5 star crash ratings with tons of safety features, 3 rows of seats that can comfortably fit 8 adults, and much more!
 
The only two (very minor) things that I'm not crazy about is the wood steering wheel and the rear visibility. I'll probably get used to these things and will forget after a while.
