After honking my pathetic foreign-made (Isuzu) horn at some idiot running a red light last night, it dawned on me that I hadn't bothered to honk the Enclave horn when test driving.

Mine is still on order...can anybody confirm that the Enclave has a good loud, BEEFY American horn? I know an old 80's Buick Electra that my family owned had the LOUDEST horn I've ever heard! I'm hoping that's still standard Buick equipment.

I haven't beeped the horn yet but when you lock the car, the horn beeps. It sounds like a regular american "honk"....not a Japanese "meep meep"

GETS EVERYBODYS ATTENTION.

[mrbuick]

I thought "meep meep" was the Road Runner....

the loudest stock horn i have ever heard is on a cadillac, both our deville and fleetwood, i mean LOUD and AGRESSIVE SOUNDING.

well i just like loud.

rollin thunder comes from the magnaflow setup. here that a mile away.

Wow Thunder. My girls came running when they heard me play the sound file. "What what that?" they hollered!

Spending $400+ on an aftermarket horn has never crossed my mind!!!

I guess I have been driving with Japanese "meep meep" and am used to it! And the Road Runners I see around here don't say that....bummer.

i am an irresponsible impratical kid, that waists money on things i dont need but want, :thumb: :thumb: :thumb: :thumb: ;D
no i got it because the stock horn was not loud enough to sound over the exaust.

BTW Mama2Girls, i noticed on the acadia site when you were comparing insurance rates that you mentoned a "yukon FWD" , there is no such thing, it is RWD or 4WD, i dont post there any more, so i am letting you know here :thumb:

AWD and there is a difference. My Denali has AWD all the time and used wet, Freezing or dry. 4WD has limitations. I don't want to offend anyone but I'm just speaking from my own experience. 8)

 

[Mama2Girls]

Yup - I know. Slip of the fingers. It was a quicky comparision with the insurance lady who answered the phone. That's all. That thing was too huge for me to drive anyway. You should come back over there to play more - I'm gonna buy the Acadia sooner or later but I still get a lot from the Enclavians!

It's fun to give you a hard time.

YES we are both right, i am not talking about a denali (yukon denali's are WAY to rich for my blood) i am talking about a slt2, which is what i have right now. i used to be a mechanic i understand all this completly. plus i have a yukon xl, which is even bigger but both the regular and xl and slt/sle/base come in rwd, 4wd, only the denali comes in awd on the yukon model.

awd is always there yes, i know, and if you use 4wd all the time you damage it, but my yukon has auto track and i can leave it in that setting all the time, when it senses rear slipping it automaticaly slips in to 4wd, wet, freezing or dry :thumb: and i get the added feature of low range.

the horn is pretty good. has a really nice tone quality, but it's the American type for sure , not those irritating, obnoxious Jap types!! it's a bit lower than my Caddy was, but exceptable in 90% of situations IMHO

 

[muljo]

OMG!! I have been borrowing my parents Honda CRV while waiting for my Enclave to arrive (we sold our van) and I had to check out the horn, Holy meep meep or maybe even a meekeep sound. My last three vehicles have all been American made (Chrysler, Pontiac, Dodge) didn't even think about what the horn sounded like.

To Funny.

I have driven over 1400 miles in last 2 weeks on a few short trips in the tri-state area. The drivers in NY, NJ, CT and MA-(worst in the country) gave me plenty of oppurtunities to use the horn, I am not used to the American type horn, but I like it, IMO it really conveys the message compare to the weaker Japanese counterpart. Due to quiet tunning and Bose I just don't know how loud it is
