dependable and fuel econ .car

I think you could improve on the steering wheel cover it should be softer to grip and not so slick. Also I think the radio should have a option of having cd playing.

Perfect for the Family!!!

With 3 kids a new vehicle was in order. After several weeks of discovery and researching various Makes and Models, we decided to go with the new redesigned 2017 GMC Acadia SLT-2. The SLT is definitely the way to go. It has all the right features and safety features we need has a family and has the right storage capabilities with the addition of hitch trunks and roof storage. We looked at other vehicles with 3rd Row seating and even though it had a little more inside storage, it still would not have been enough for long road trips and addition storage would have been needed. Drives great and feels more like a care than a top heavy SUV. We are in Aww of our new 2017 GMC Acadia.

Great car

We went with the middle of the road model. Seems to fit our family perfectly. I would definitely recommend this car to a family.

Love this vehicle

I absolutely love this vehicle. I got the Denali version, so a bit spendy, but I wanted all of the extras! Fast, reliable, safe, sexy, sleek, room for 6 comfortably. Everything I need and want.

Comfortable and Meeting expectations

The Acadia met the requirements and expectations. I knowingly got the 4 cylinder so there is a trade off with power versus fuel economy. I wouldn't want to tow anything with the 4 cylinder but it does nicely for general commuting. Side/rear viability is not great and take some getting used to. The ride has been very comfortable and we have the space (seating) and size that we wanted, we're not dwarfed on the DFW highways.

2017 Acadia Denali is a winner

I traded my 2013 GMC Acadia Denali for a 2017. It?s a little smaller, hieght and length, and lighter. The engine and transmission are the same and I am very happy with both. The exterior and interior designs are very nice. They up graded the on board computer and added functions. All good! I miss the size of my 2013 but I am getting used to this one and drives much better than the 2013. I also like the front wheel drive and all wheel drive options. Overall, an excellent vehicle and a good value especially if you buy through the Costco Program and the GM Holiday Sale.

Best SUV I have owned

I have always driven a pickup and didn't know how I was going to like a SUV, but I will have to say that this Acadia is very comfortable and pleasant to drive and I am very happy with it.

Didn't Make it 6 Months

All was well until I found the heater core had failed and dumped all the anti-freeze all over my driveway over night. This shouldn't happen on a 5 month old new SUV. In the shop and now no longer trust the reliability of the Acadia.
