Roomy SUVs often drive like trucks. You won't mistake this for a sedan, but it has a smoother ride than most in its class, and surprisingly good fuel economy. (As a result, it's a touch slower switching gears.) The Chevy Traverse and GMC Acadia are close cousins, but the Enclave has the design edge. Buicks get high marks from J.D. Power on dependability, which improves resale value.
