I use it daily. I wouldn't buy another vehicle without adaptive cruise control.

 

Agree, after using ACC, doubt I'd buy another car without it.

 

Agree on ACC if you do a lot of freeway driving... but twice as many miles... that's a tough call.

 

I was just faced with a decision between an LT and Premier with ACC for similar prices (and about 40,000 more miles on the Premier). Went with the LT... cloth seats and lower miles outweigh the ACC for me... and Bose just sounds artificial to my ears.

 

I've had a 2016 Chevrolet Volt premier for about 3 years now. The car has every option available at the time. There are three things I wish my volt had in this order...

ACC, A REAR WIPER, COOLED SEATS.

Of those three things only the AAC was an available option beginning in 2017.

I personally would use it everyday but that is how I drive.

Absolutely! It's a bit puzzling why a rear wiper wasn't included... then again, visibility wasn't exactly something that seemed to be high on the list of GM's engineers when designing the Volt.

 

ACC is great, but it's a double edge sword. My wife's car has ACC, and I'm still not used to it. Every time I drive, I find myself driving slowly behind someone else without realizing it for a little while.

I drive 100 miles a day in my Volt, mostly on the freeway. No ACC, and I don't miss it. Sure, that means I have to do a little more work in moderate traffic. No big deal.

My son got a Model 3 a little while back. We quickly discovered that auto pilot / FSD aren't nearly as good as the raves they get. It works really great - when it works. But you have to pay attention full time, because once in a while it will do something that might get you killed. (Yes, I know you're supposed to pay attention. Not everyone does, though, obviously.)

The point is, vehicle automation is great, but do not let yourself be lulled into thinking that you don't have to pay every bit as much attention as you would without it.

 

Afternoon everyone,

I'm currently looking at two different 2017 Premiers for around the same price:

• 70,000 miles with ACC (with extra EVSE and floor mats - the owner seems more diligent as well)
• 45,000 miles with no ACC (but from what I can tell both driver confidence packages)

What is everyone's thoughts? Is ACC worth extra miles?

Thanks

In terms of depreciation, a mile is worth about $0.25, estimating from leasing terms. So 25K miles is equivalent to about $6000. So would you have paid that for an ACC option if you were buying the car new? This is one way to look at it.

 

I would go with lower mileage. ACC is overated. I have it on my Tahoe. It works fine but I enjoy driving so these electronic nannies do nothing for me.

 

45,000 with no ACC for me. ACC is not worth the 25k miles you lose. (That's just me, so it depends on whether you're a highway, cruise-control type of driver. I'm not.)

 

Lower miles. I agree with others above on ACC. When I rent a car with it, I turn it off. So annoying when I notice I am cruising along 10 mph slower because the ACC has slowed me down without me noticing. It was a $2500 addon feature for my 2017 and happy not to have wasted my money on something I personally wouldn't use.

 

ACC all the way! I use it everyday, and it's a huge benefit in stop and go traffic. The Volt ACC goes down to 0mph and then holds the brake (something my Honda just wouldn't do). I wouldn't buy another car with ACC after using in my volt for the last year and a half.
