Nothing but problems.

I have had nothing but problems since I have ownership vehicle. Reliable Motors got over on me. Reliable motors in Selma Alabama does not take care of their customers.

Comfortable and safe

Safe vehicle. Rides like a car but sturdy like a truck. Fits 7 people comfortable so its a great family vehicle. All wheel drive is also a plus in new England

Love This Car!

This is such a great car! It seats my entire family of 6 confortably and is styled inside similar to a van. Its easy to maneuver inside and is so midern! The atrium ceiling is a great feature! The exterior styling is beautiful and sleek. It handles great in the snow (which we get a lot of in Erie, PA). It gets prettt good gas mileage for as heavy as it is! Overall it is a great car!

Perfect SUV

Space is great, looks good from outside and inside. Driving is very smooth. Conditions of this vehicle was great and met my needs. That gap between seats makes it feel like a minivan

Don't make the mistake of buying a GMC Acadia

I purchased a GMC Acadia 3 years ago because I wanted a smaller SUV with captain seats in the 2nd row and an entertainment center. I bought a 2009 with 68,000 miles on it. I only made it a month before it was in the shop! Over the last 3 years, I have replaced 7 engine coils (the car only has 6!), 2 catalytic converters, struts, purge valve and much more! After spending $3,000 in the last month in repairs, I picked it up today from the dealership and didn't even make it a mile before the check engine light came on again and the car was acting crazy. Now, they tell me it's the torque converter and will be another $4,000. The car isn't even worth that much! Don't make the mistake of buying a GMC Acadia for the interior design and entertainment center (the DVD player stopped working shortly after I purchased it). I will never own a GMC again!

Best family car I have owned.

This car has been the best vacation car I have ever driven or owned. I have rented mini and full size vans, owned and also ridden in two other quad cab trucks and a wagon, and borrowed a suburban from a friend. I have lots of family vacationing experience to Florida twice per year from northern Kentucky (~2000 miles round trip) for the last 14 years (this car for the last 6.5 years) and would buy this car again. Especially with the rack on top and a hitch to install a hitch carrier in less than 3 minutes. So comfortable with babies to grown adults. We have traveled with 4 adults and 3 kids with two small coolers in the floorboards and 4 suitcases in the trunk and strollers and pack n plays on the hitch carrier. Vacations are great, but so easy and comfortable for just riding around the city too! With the All Wheel Drive we have never had an issue driving in a field, snow, or even on the beach when others were getting stuck in the sand.

Great Family Vehicle!

This vehicle is a good combination on convenience and luxury! third row seating allows us to be able to have our baby in the first row and we can easily fold down the back seats for our groceries or our puppies!
