I just did my part to support GM! My grandparents have been looking to replace their '03 Grand Caravan, and were considering buying another. I swayed them to the Enclave and we just took delivery. I'll take pics in the daylight, and post them soon.
We chose a 2009 Buick Enclave CXL FWD with Cocoa Metallic on Cashmere Leather. It has the:
-Entertainment Package 3 (Nav)
-19" chrome wheels
-sunroof
-driver's confidence package
-luxury package
-heated/cooled seats
Got it for $1750 under invoice, so we're pretty happy.
This car is so incredibly beautiful. I think Cocoa has to be one of the best color choices for the Enclave and the Chrome wheels really make it "pop". I've tried to drive it as much as I can and keep seeing people just staring at it. My area, the DC Metro Area, doesn't have a lot of domestics around, so we are among the first Enclave owners.
In terms of the ride and quality, I'm very impressed. There are a lot of details that really make this car worth the money. For starters, the QuietTuning; I always sort of dismissed it, but the Enclave is the quietest crossover (or minivan/SUV for that matter) vehicle I've driven. That quiet definitely adds to the luxury feel and people in the front can actually hear those in the third row. There is also this really cool feature of the adaptive headlamps that I just love. When the car cuts on at night you can see the headlamps articulate outwards and then meet in the middle. I never saw it before because we always test drove in the daylight, but I saw it when we took delivery that night. The doors have the most amazing "thunk" I've ever experienced. The remote start is totally worth it. I'm also glad we waited to '09 and got the [slightly] more responsive engine, bluetooth, and the cooled seats.
I can ramble all night but this is such an amazing car and I hope we can keep if for a really long time.
Edit: I couldn't get the Enclave in the daylight today, but I'm sure to have it tomorrow. Here's some nighttime pics in the mean time.
