Buick Enclave: My Reality Car
by Madelyn Miller, the TravelLady
Enter the 2010 Buick Enclave CXL. A cocoa metallic SUV with a cashmere
interior with cocoa accents. Even the description sounds delicious. Off to a great start
And it has everything a woman would love. It has a refined "heritage forward"
design with exceptional attention to detail and quality. And the standard
features were music to my ears. A Bose speaker sound system plus a rear
seat audio system. And it is priced to challenge its luxury competitors What woman doesn't love a bargain? The price is rightThe cocoa Champagne 2010 Buick Enclave CXL that I drove had a base
price of $41,695. A lot of luxury for that price. And the EPA Fuel Economy
Estimates won't break the budget. The estimated annual fuel cost is $2,051. The
city MPG is 17 and the Highway MPG is 24. Safe and Secure
There is a theft deterrent system and a directions with auto crash response
and turn by turn navigation included for the first year. Check out these stylish accessories
Just like a dress with perfect accessories, The 2010 Buick Enclave
looks very well put together. There are leather seating surfaces in the first
and second row. All rows have floor mats. Leather wrapped steering wheel with
audio controls. Madelyn Miller is a travel and automotive writer. She is proud that

After a week of driving a
Camaro, (which stole my heart and the attention of cougar bait) I was ready to
return to reality. I was ready to drive something practical. Something that met
the criteria for my lifestyle. I want a big trunk, good gas mileage,
comfortable seats and someplace for my purse. 
This was Buick's first
luxury crossover. 
There are lots of safety
features on the Buick Enclave CXL. I was surprised when a message came on
the screen that my right rear tire was low. I would love something like this to
tell me when a roast was done or a cake was ready. (I don't mean a
timer--something that knows when food is ready. This is an important feature for
me, because I don't always check the tires. A courtesy officer at the building
where I live noticed the low tire. But what if Mike is not on duty?
