2009 Buick Enclave

A seven-seat crossover vehicle introduced by GM in 2007. Family values: Five-star safety ratings; powerful V-6 engine; usable third-row seat; high-quality interior with many entertainment and convenience features. Price range: $32,000 - $37,000.


The 2009 Buick Enclave continues a winning streak for GM’s premium family-car lineup. The big crossover vehicle is beautifully curved and looks decidedly upscale inside, while sporting a big V-6 engine and a six-speed automatic. All-wheel drive is available, and the Enclave seats seven, though adults will have some difficulty clambering into the way-back bench. TheCarConnection.com rates the Enclave at an overall score of 8.2 out of 10.
