If you want a long roof but without the luxury car prices, this is the one. Handsome European looks (the car is built in Germany after all) that have garnered compliments from random strangers and a peppy (enough) AWD drivetrain makes this a great option for anyone wanting the practicality of an CUV/SUV with the driving dynamics of a car.

Pros

Styling: I'm honestly surprised the amount of attention this car gets. You just don't see many on the road, and in a world of CUVs, it stands out in the crowd. The interior, while not too fancy, has a fairly sleek layout and isn't a bad place to spend some time during a road trip.
Interior Space: I'm a big, tall guy and have more than enough room in the driver seat. Even the back seats can comfortably fit adults regardless of how far back the front seats are.
Cargo Space: I mean, you probably wouldn't be looking at a wagon if this wasn't a consideration. A nice amount of storage space with the rear seats up, and downright cavernous with the rear seats folded flat.

Cons

Technology and Entertainment: I still have some warranty life to try to get this sorted by Buick, but the infotainment is glitchy, particularly in regards to phone connectivity. The bluetooth connection just seems to occasionally not work and Apple CarPlay tends to have momentary audio dropout issues. Reverse camera lines disappear sometimes too. Do some googling and you'll see that I'm not alone in this experience (although some people luck out and don't run into this). My understanding is that the earlier 2018 models (dubbed "red needle" by the TourX community due to the gauge cluster) don't tend to have these issues. That said I think the "white needle" looks a lot nicer and has a more modern UI, just need to get the kinks ironed out. Not a deal breaker IMO, but fixing it would make this a 5-star car for me.

This car has a niche for people who need to seat 7 comfortably without rear seat access issues, provide legitimately comfortable third row seating, have good cargo options, and don’t want a minivan.

Pros

Seat Comfort: While not by favorite brand, GM has figured out large family seating where no one else has in an SUV. Two generous captains chairs in the middle with ample passage room to good third row seating for three. The third row does come at the price of trunk space, but if the main objective is just getting 6 and 7 people around most of the time, you can always consider a hitch and trailer for large trip carrying capacity
Value: This is among the more economic options for a car of this size and configuration these days. There is a effort from GM to try to be competitive in overall styling ad amenities with premium brands at a little less front end cost.
Cabin Noise: Both and pro and con depending on how you look at it, but I don’t have to hear all the conversations in the back of the car! Not good when I need to, of course.

Cons

Braking: Stopping power is very disappointing for almost any vehicle I’ve driven. It shouldn’t be a consideration for cost cutting and should be a high priority in any vehicle.
Reliability: This has less to do with the Enclave as it does with CarMax and the preinspection of the vehicle. This vehicle was inspected both by its origin site and the one I bought it from, and there was no notice of the amount of underbody rust, particularly along the exhaust line. The exhaust blew a hole in the side in less than 6 months of ownership due to the amount of rust on the exhaust. This ended up not being covered under warranty and became a major out of pocket cost, along with a pretty sizable scheduled maintenance cost. The major scheduled maintenance really should be addressed ahead of sales, and something like underbody rust of this level really should be standard addressed items before sales.

The car is very clean and runs great, it is very comfortable to drive and it makes me feel fancy. It's a little more luxurious then I am used to driving.
