Buick Enclave/Chevy Traverse?

[tikkalover]

Wife's 2017 Yukon has 87000 miles and thinking about buying a new Enclave or a Traverse.

Anyone from the peanut galley have any experience with either of these 2 vehicles and what's your thoughts about them.

Thanks.

Owned a couple Traverses several years ago. Eventually went to the Enclave. Really liked the Enclave, quiet, smooth ride usually got about 24mpg on the highway. Then last summer Buick decided they didn't need small town dealers and made it very difficult to deal with.Yes I can drive to a larger town to buy an Enclave. I just don't operate along that line.

So my local dealer suggested I try the new Traverse. I was leary as I really did like my Enclaves better than the Traverse I previously owned. Surprise, surprise, Really like my Traverse. It's as quiet as my Enclaves and smooth riding. And I'm getting better mileage with the 4-cyl. Turbo. The only downfall is when you step on the gas pretty good it sounds like a 4-cyl. I'd have no problem buying another new model Traverse.

If it was me I would keep the Yukon and drive it till it dies. That’s low miles. But I don’t like transaxle vehicles.

Have a 2012 Traverse that's been downgraded to the kid's vehicle, and a 2023 Traverse, which was the last year of the "old" body style. The 2012 was nothing special, but it's hauled us around for 12 plus years. The 2023 is a nice vehicle; nice ride and good mileage. The 2012 has had it's share of maintenance items; we'll see how the 2023 does.

Had a 2012 Traverse, sucked in lots of dust. Traded in for a 2015 Enclave and haven't had hardly any dust. I have about 20 miles of gravel to get to pavement,
