1995 GMC Safari SLT review from North America
"A lousy deal"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Muffler fell off 2 times.
General comments?
So far its been an OK ride and just OK. I bought a totally loaded SLT for around $28,000 new. In city driving, this is an OK van, but when you really want power to pass a big rig or get on the highway, it just doesn't go. The A/C sucks up A LOT of power when it's on (so don't get rear A/C, you get a more power hungry compressor yet). It gets horrible gas mileage (15 m.p.g.) and the interior is cheap and not well crafted.
