Nicest Car I have ever owned

Love it so far...day 3 and it is a smooth ride. Very pretty car and enjoying all the bells and whistles. Loving the 3rd row that I really don't need.

Not the most reliable.

Leg room and comfortably is good. Carrying passengers of 6 is ideal. Must have cargo carrier for luggages over 5 passenger. Existing problems with steering pump and rack. New brakes and tires at 38000. Wearout is fast for those items. Interior parts , covers for rear storage clip broke. And handle to back liftgate lose/ broken at 58000 miles.

Fanciest Care I've Owned; No Trouble with it

I've never had a fancier car, and I never had trouble with it. One sensor has needed replacing, but that's it. I often needed a third-row to add an adult, which is why I purchased this car. Several times I took five adults with me on an 8-hour drive and everyone was comfortable. I would keep this car, but need something smaller.

Smoothest SUV I’ve owned

This car meets my needs. Very smooth ride. I’m on the younger side and the design makes me feel older, but still a great looking car.

Do not buy GMC Acadia

After 25 years of buying & driving non-american cars, I decided to give USA a try and bought a 2016 GMC Acadia SLT. Over the past 2 years major items started to fail. The first was the power steering pump failed - $500. Then both front and rear AC units failed with a leak - $4000. Now the transmission is starting to slip. I will never buy a USA car again. They just don't compare to a Toyota or Honda. USA not there yet, so I am paying the price.

Amazing power and abundant space

I needed space for work reasons and this car fit perfect! It’s fun looking and comfortable to drive in. The abundant space is perfect for a family or sales person.

One of the best vehicles I have owned.

I love this vehicle so far. I was done with the mom mini van and decided to become the hip cool SUV mom. I needed a 7 passenger vehicle and have always liked the look of the Acadia.

Economic, yet sporty. Very durable👍

Our gmc is finding it's way Into fitting all of our family needs. As grandparents the 3rd row enables us to bring all of our crew with us on outings. Vacations are easy with plenty of leg room and storage. Comfortable seating and ice cold a/c are also a bonus. This vehicle is worth every penny.
