"I never knew I could love a car so much! The Acadia is the most comfortable and roomy SUV ever. It has the room of a minivan but the style of a SUV. This is by far the best purchase we've ever made as a family."

"I'm 58 and think a good, versatile and solid vehicle is what I'll need in the coming years. It's got everything I want (except no HID), and includes accessories I may not need (like the DVD player). The 2011 Acadia I got was very well kept and almost new even with 22k miles. I rides and handles very well especially on the freeway. With my best hiway driving, I could only do 22.8 mpg, but city driving is only 13 and wish it could be better. With the comfort and loaded amenities, I really feel great about driving this vehicle."

"We love the Acadia. As a first-time SUV owner, I was worried about gas mileage, but so far we are getting about 20 mpg! It's easy to let the back seats down to carry sports equipment, Christmas trees, etc. Our only problem has been with the tire pressure sensor. It comes on frequently, even when the tires are at a perfect 35 psi. The dealership has promised to look into this for us."

"This is our second SUV that we have owned and we could not be happier!!! The GMC Acadia drives like a dream! I'm 6'5" and I have a ton of space in the drivers seat even while an adult sits behind me. We love the heated and cooled seats as well as the memory seating!!! We are just so happy with our new purchase!!! I did think that the Gas milage was a bit to be desired so I decided to change out the air filter with a K&N air filter and since then I have noticed that our milage has imporved by 4 mpg. I also noticed a bit more power after dropping in that new air filter."

"Pros - Awesome handling for a large SUV - Ample room for 7 - Very quiet (Denali) - Good performance - Have had it for 5 months - no issues Cons - MPG is way off from what is advertised. I'm at 13.8 MPG (combined hwy + city) vs 19 advertised - In the Denali model GMC could've used a better plastic for the dashboard and doors - A push button access to the 3rd row seat would be nice"

"Great size to fit seven people. We are a family moving up from a a minivan to an SUV. Has less interior space but looks a lot better. The Acadia rides nice and handles well for a big vehicle. Transmission is slow to shift sometimes, but keeps power to the wheels. Interior is not as good as it could be for price range, I have the Denali Acadia. Lots of options, but some are poorly thought out. For example the auto-tilt mirrors for parallel parking have to be turned on when the cars is in park. The angle they tilt is obsessively to far down. But otherwise with 17k on the car now, me and the family like the car. The gripes I have are minor, just things the mini-van did better."

"We were on the fence between this and a Ford Edge. We went with the Denali package and with 0% financing it was pennies more then the edge, but I feel the Denali's resale value will be higher. I like the style and the interior of the vehicle. The only thing it lacks is more voice commands and hands free options. On the Edge you could tell it to do anything via voice activation but the higher priced Denali does not have that option. Other then that I like the Acadia allot and look forward to going on some long road trips with it."
