One great thing about growing up in Troy, Missouri was that I never felt fenced in. Our house was average size; a 3 bedroom ranch half way up the hill on Cap-au-Gris. My father and some neighbors built it with a GI loan after WW2. The house was pretty modest by today’s standards, but I always felt like I had enough room. The location had a lot to do with that because it backed to a 10 acre field my grandfather owned and the field backed to the city park. The backyard and the field behind it were lit up like high noon every summer evening with the lights from the baseball diamond in the city park so, all the kids in the neighborhood played there until parents insisted they come in and go to bed. There was a window in my bedroom that overlooked the yard and field so, even after my parents made me go to bed, I could always look out over my domain.
When I look at the state of the world today, I don’t believe there could have been a better place on the planet to spend my childhood. I never felt fenced-in as a child and maybe that’s why I have always purchased houses that are next to parks as an adult. I really love having the room.
Not being cramped in any way is a wonderful feeling and it’s the kind of feeling you get when you sit in 2011 Buick Enclave. The dictionary definition of the word enclave is “a piece of territory”. That’s a pretty good description of what you feel like you command when you’re behind the wheel. It’s like having your own expansive retreat where everything is designed to surround you with comfort, luxury and safety. Three rows of first-class seating in a QuietTuned interior, an ingenious navigation and entertainment system, an active approach to safety and intelligent all-wheel drive are just a few of the qualities that make it the new class of world class.
Discovering new places on your own is great; sharing them with seven of your closest friends is even better. And with SmartSlide, getting to the third row is simple thanks to second-row seats that easily slide forward using only one hand. Fold down the second and third-row seats to create a level load floor, freeing up 115 cubic feet. On top of plenty of leg room, there’s lots of wide-open space up above with an available power sunroof and companion 3-foot by 4-foot skylight. You can start Enclave and activate climate controls (based on previous settings) from nearly 200 feet away with a handy optional remote starter system.
The 6-speed automatic transmission is half of a high-tech powertrain and the other is a 288-hp 3.6L V-6 engine with direct fuel injection and Variable Valve Timing. Together, they maximize performance and efficiency, producing better highway fuel economy than any other eight-passenger crossover. In challenging situations, handling becomes utterly priceless. That’s where Enclave’s available All-Wheel Drive comes in. When conditions demand more traction, the intelligent AWD system doesn’t ask you to push buttons. It’s activated automatically when you need it most.
Buick pioneered the Quiet Tuning process to reduce, block and absorb noise and vibration. Leaving outside noises outside, so you’re left with quiet solitude. Nothing stands between your ears and the Bose 10-speaker 5.1 surround sound system. Plug your iPod® into the available USB Port and your tunes travel everywhere you do.
Rear-seat passengers aren’t left out; they will enjoy the optional overhead DVD Entertainment System with an 8-inch screen and two pairs of wireless headphones. Steering wheel mounted buttons for cruise control, speaker volume and Bluetooth® are at your fingertips plus the driver and front-passenger seats may be heated and cooled. To help guide you, the available voice and touch-screen activated DVD Navigation System charts over 6 million miles of North American roads.
XM NavTraffic incorporates real-time road conditions right into your NAV screen, directing you around trouble spots and toward the most efficient route. And with OnStar Automatic Crash Response can get you help fast even if you can’t ask for it. In the event of a crash, built-in sensors can automatically send an alert to OnStar. There’s just an undeniable sense of security that you feel when driving or riding in the Buick Enclave.
