I picked mine up this Saturday.......I was still wondering if I made the right choice....almost bought a black Denali instead during my 6 month wait. However, after driving it home and trying a few curves, I definitely made the right choice, it handles very well for an SUV.
Some good first impressions:
Ride & Handling
Solid feel and build quality
Engine & Transmission is very smooth
Nav is amazing
Seats are great
Wind noise is very low for an SUV at highway speed
Nice to have a sunroof again
Everything works
Some bad first impressions:
Stereo is very dissapointing, sound is so so, no name display option for CDs and no RDS - radio name display
Roof rack is useless - I'll have to make some major modifications to carry my windsurfers and mountain bikes
Have one rattle, sounds like its the rear door
Dash layout is not the best, have to peer around my hand to see tach, and its all hard plastic - no soft feel finish anywhere
Nav should be recessed to avoid direct light from sunroof, and to avoid reflecting in windshield at night
Needs a hand lever parking brake, hate those foot pedal things
Cannot rest arms on the arm rests while driving - too far from wheel
Wheels too spindly - will have to get something wider and more aggressive once the snow melts
Dissapointed the HIDs did not make the 2002 as my dealer had indicated
Overall, a very good package, looking forward to many miles behind the wheel.
