Surrounded by the Buick Enclave's many strengths are its powerful V6, comfortable and quiet ride, massive cargo capacity and excellent crash-test scores. The former features a pair of captain's chairs in the second row while the latter features a three-passenger work surface. These amenities are beautifully housed within the Enclave's attractive, curvaceous sheet metal. Despite its ample measure of functionality, it's true that the Buick Enclave 2011 still can't match a minivan when it comes to expediency, the Enclave offers less cargo space, and its lack of sliding doors makes it more difficult to load rear passengers. In its favor, though, is its sheet metal.
