Bottomline The 2009 Buick Enclave takes American-made luxury crossovers into the realm where Lexus resides. The 2009 Ford Flex is one of the most stylish new crossovers, with great passenger room and more features than some minivans. The 2009 Honda Pilot looks more SUV-like in its second edition, but it has the room of a minivan, along with some notable styling miscues and expensive choices to make from the options list.

    The Buick Enclave is clearly the best of the 3 cars here. Enclave has far greater interior comfort and higher grade materials. I tested each of these and bought the Enclave. Rides great, 3rd row has good headroom unlike these others, nav system and On-Star excellent. Buick Enclave should be rated a 9.0 here. Only disadvantage is it's more limited visability out passenger side rear window. We also liked the 2nd row bucket seats so that our dog could lay comfortably between these seats. Do not agree with this reviewer's dislikes. The Enclave is very nimble and no tranmission issues.
