2010 Buick Enclave

Base MSRP $35,515

One of the Enclave's strengths is that it's sized closer to a mid-size SUV, yet its interior makes excellent use of the space so that it can accommodate up to eight passengers -- space that rivals some full-size SUVs. Factor in a nice, controlled ride and crisp, car-like handling, an extensive list of standard features, and top-notch safety, and the Enclave is an alternative family-mover that deserves a look.
