Thinking of buying the 2016 Buick Enclave?
No 2016 Buick Enclave is for sale by CarmaCars at the moment; this page helps you judge the car before you buy one elsewhere. CarmaCars does not finance cars. Renting is not a loan, so there is no credit check to rent. The 2016 Buick Enclave for buyers: what the numbers say, what to check, how to try it.
Recalls and complaints
Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. NHTSA lists 4 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace.
Engine and fuel
The powertrain here is the 3.6L 6-cylinder with front-wheel drive and a 6-speed automatic. It runs on regular gas. Front-wheel drive is the usual layout for cars this size, predictable in the rain and the snow.
Its combined rating is 13.4 L/100 km, which means roughly 40 litres for 300 km. At our price setting, driving 100 km costs about $20.77, and a 300 km weekend about $62.31. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$3,700 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
The Enclave in everyday use
Being a full-size SUV, it handles luggage, strollers and sports gear well.
Best uses
It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car. It suits a weekend away when the train does not reach where you are going.
Drive it on your own roads
Rent the Enclave for a week and see how it fits your life. A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide.
What it costs to run
Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. The EPA estimates US$3,700 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $20.77 in fuel.
Choosing the right one
A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. Within the 2016 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which.
