Best car I ever liked.

This vehicle has everything I was looking for. It has large space room. The dark color is great. All the upgraded features are nice as well.

A family's dream car

The space the Acadia offers is absolutely perfect! Family or not, it offers so much room and easy folding 3rd row seats. The automatic loft and close tailgate is a dream! I have a button up front to open and close the tailgate without even leaving the vehicle! It has such a comfortable ride and the seats are large and comfortable. It is so nice not needing to fold seats or move them back and forth in order to get to the back seat thanks to the 2nd row bucket seats. They slide back and forth very easy making more room for either the 3rd row or the second row. The buttons on the steering wheel make operating the radio so much easier and safer. This will be a forever vehicle for us!

80K Miles Blown Engine

So disgusted. Purchased new on 2009. The Acadia did everything we needed a vehicle to do EXCEPT have a quality engine. We even purchased the extended warranty. At 80,000 miles we were told the engine needs to be replaced. Warranty expired.

Drives great for a 7 person SUV

Loved this car so much I bought another one. It's the best 3rd row SUV in my opinion. Drives like a car. Plenty of space. Good technology and features.

Smooth and comfortable ride

I love the interior space and quiet ride of the Acadia. We drove it from northern Illinois to Florida and couldn't have asked for a more relaxing drive. We unfortunately had to have our water pump replaced in Nashville. The only real issues I have with the Acadia is the engine light is on as much as it is off. It seems like I get one oxygen sensor replaced and then another O2 sensor goes bad.

Great interior room and great highway gas miles

Love my vehicle and highway gas mileage is great. On a recent trip to the Florida I was able to haul 6 adults and luggage with great comfort. My vehicle was getting about 30 to the gallon too....

Fun to Drive.

I liked the Acadia a lot. They styling in great and it comes with lots of features. After talking with my mechanic, I had concerns about the higher mileage the and penchant on these for the transmissions to go bad after 100,000 miles.
