Gas guzzler SLT loaded

This vehicle least probably cost a thousand dollars a month or more with gas not even insurance. It averages about 14 miles per gallon don't ask me I have to fill that thing up more than once a week. Nice large comfortable SUV but not worth the money you could do so much better for a lot less

Bad seatbelt design

We bought the GMC Acadia Denali 2016. We like the vehicle except for two issues. First, it gives less miles per gallon than what is advertised, Second, the second row seats are difficult to fold and the seat belts are very uncomfortable. The belt buckle is raised about 3 inches from the seat base and causes pain and discomfort to adults. We had our daughter seating for about 3 hours and she developed a hematoma on her right thigh. I tried to get GMC to change the position of the buckle but they claimed it was a design issue and nothing could be done about it. It was very difficult to deal directly with GMC and the dealership was no help at all. They never offered an alternative.

2nd Acadia purchase

Bought my first Acadia used. Drove it over 80000 miles. Loved it. Bought a 2016 new in May last year. Had some radio issues but they have been resolved. Will not hesitate to purchase a third one when the time comes.

Acadia Nice mid-sized SUV

Does everything advertised tows, plenty of space, comfortable, just enough amenities. The one drawback is poor MPG when towing, 10 mpg. Gets 18 MPG in town.

GREAT CAR

I'VE BEEN WANTING AN ACADIA FOR AWHILE NOW. I RECENTLY LOOKED OVER A FRIENDS BUICK ENCLAVE AND THEN I WAS TORN. WHEN I WENT TO BUY I DROVE BOTH AND ACTUALLY CHOSE THE ACADIA. I LIKED THE FEEL OF IT BETTER. I HAVE DRIVEN TAHOE'S FOR THE PAST 15 YEARS AND THIS DROVE MORE LIKE THAT. I LOVE MY NEW ACADIA!!

Best vehicle for my family

My husband & I got thid vehicle less than a year ago, this is by far the best for us & the kids. Very spacious for a large family, still learning to use all the new technologies. Great on gas, alot of trunk space; I love the fact that I can set me sitting & heat/ cool according to the weather. Just got my 1st maintenance done, no long wait time....
