We really liked the Buick Enclave redesign but I’m weary of a 4 banger turbo engine
We have an 2023 Envision. Was really considering looking at upgrading to the Enclave after the redesign. Our Buick is one of the best riding vehicles and has been very reliable. I've seen the enclave in the wild and it really grew on me.
I've had no issues with the 4 cylinder as far as mechanical or performance. Fits our needs pretty well.
ETA: I've also kicked around a mini van option in the future but my manhood is resisting with all of its might.

My wife has a 2014 Nissan Armada w/ the V8. Over 250,000 miles on it and does not want to trade. No real issues except a starter that went out.

I have a '21 highlander with about 70k miles on it that I bought for my wife who is also tough on cars. Bought it in November of 24 with 40,000 miles on it and only done tires, oil, and a battery in that time. Rides nice, although something on the exterior whistles faintly at about 55 mph.
I specifically sought out the '21 because it was the last model year that offered the naturally aspirated 3.5 liter V6 engine. That drivetrain has been around for a long time and been in many different cars and trucks over the years. It's proven reliable, and after having a Ford Escape with the Ecoboost TT 4 cylinder, I swore off tiny turbocharged 4 bangers in SUVs because that thing was a total POS.
