October 1, 2008 by jcme · Leave a Comment
The Enclave may be Buick’s CUV (Compact Utility Vehicle), but this vehicle has a much bigger presence on the world than you might realize. From the massive and intimidating chrome grill to the sheetmetal construction to the chrome trim, this vehicle has everything it takes to be a real attention-getter.
The 2008 Buick Enclave CXL doesn’t feel that big when you’re driving it down the road, however. Acceleration is smooth, and the steering has a comfortable feel.
The 2008 Buick Enclave CXL gets decent gas mileage, too, hitting 21.5 miles per gallon on the freeway.
There’s plenty of power under the hood, too. The 2008 Buick Enclave features a 3.6 liter V6 that produces 275 horsepower. That engine is paired with a six-speed automatic transmission.
Inside, the cabin has plenty of room. The seats are comfortable and supportive, all at the same time. Because The Buick Enclave rides fairly low, it’s one of the easiest CUVs on the market to get into and out of.
Come check one out today at your local Buick dealer. You’ll be glad you did.
Test Driving the 2008 Buick Enclave

The 2008 Buick Enclave is a nice looking vehicle. It has a beautifully styled exterior, and plenty of interior room. By all appearances, the 2008 Enclave is an excellent vehicle. The question, then, is this: does the driving experience match the look?
The answer is an unequivocal “yes.” Handling of the 2008 Buick Enclave is confident and intuitive, even at high speeds. When driving the vehicle casually, it feels like it should: as a natural extension of the driver’s own body. It makes fluid transitions, and motions of the body are controlled well. Its amazing, actually, that a vehicle that comes in at more than two tons handles as well as the 2008 Buick Enclave.
One thing, though, that I noticed about the Enclave over other cars in its class was this: it is quieter. The engine, the road, and the wind all don’t seem to make as much noise in the 2008 Enclave as in some other vehicles. Even when you’re going 70 miles per hour on the highway, the interior is quiet.
If you’re in the market for a smooth, quiet ride, look to the 2008 Buick Enclave.
