So comfy and sleek! What a great design style! I love the sport mode and 4x4 mode options. The gas mileage is a definite plus compared to my last SUV.

Very happy with my new Acadia

This is a comfortable ride for an SUV. Love all the safety features the Acadia Denali has. Good to know that my loved one is safe driving the Acadia to and from work.

Big Blue

To start off we love this vehicle. My wife named him, according to her cars are feminine and SUVs/Vans are masculine, Big Blue because of his Sky Blue exterior paint, which is a favorite of hers. Size is perfect for us as we wanted three rows but also wanted something that fit in the garage with room to spare. The 3.6 V-6 is normally aspirated, a plus for me, and offers super acceleration when you need it, but is also fuel miserly. We consistently beat the EPA estimates getting 28 mpg on the highway at no more than 75. I've even seen 30+ on trips below 65. Visibility is good but have been spoiled by the blind spot indicators: will not buy another vehicle without them. Considering it's closer to a truck than a car I was totally surprised by how well it handles and the ride is exceptional; it's now our go to tripmobile. We have some aggressive GMC dealers in our area and got a sizable discount off of MSRP, thankfully, but even without that the Acadia enjoys a significant price/value advantage with the competition. Touchscreen is intuitive and with Android Auto we didn't have to spend extra for a factory navigation system: maps are displayed on the screen from your phone. It also has Apple CarPlay if you're an iPhone type. Material quality and fit and finish are first rate. Paint gloss is as good as a show car. Really! And it's made in the USA. One last thing, see how many other SUVs you can find, excepting its GM brethren, that have six bolt wheels.

Have only ad it a few weeks but love it.

I needed more space behind the second set of seat for wife wheel chair. This serves the purpose with room to spare. I will probably never use the third row of seat, but its there if I need it. The heat/ac works great. Navigation is also great. Truck has so many features havent used them all yet. The surround cameras are very helpful.

Beautiful Car Great Features

Plenty of leg room, easily adjustable seats with all directions, comfortable, rear-view mirror blind spot flashers, 3 rows of seats, heated front seats, great sound. This car was a gorgeous black cherry metallic color. I was looking for a white car, but this color changed my heart.

Beautiful ride and spatious

There is plenty of leg room, lots of features including OnStar and when you attach your phone via USB it transmits to the dashboard screen. Large area for hauling things when the 2nd and 3rd row seats are folded down. Rear view mirrors have lights that flash when a car is in your blind spot.

A good for my wife.

We were looking at trading in my wife's Traverse and wanted another SUV. We went with the GMC Acadia and so far have been very happy.

Love this SUV

I just bought this vehicle after test driving. The dealership got me everything I wanted. I love all the features but don?t know how to use the all yet. Marcus is awesome and Terry and Kirk also helped me get everything I wanted. I felt like I was treated like a queen. Thank you so much.

Love it but needs to be larger.

We previously owned a 2010 Acadia. While the styling of the new Acadia is nicer, it is a little smaller. I wish they could have made it slightly larger. Overall though, we love it!
