comfortable, safe car

This car isa smaller than the older Acadia and in downsizing there is a problem with the center console. There is no room for a purse. Fine if you alone, you can use the passenger seat. Also, the steering wheel does not tilt, only goes back and forth. It is comfortable to drive, will hold 30 bags of mulch with the back seats folded down and gets good gas mileage

My wife lives this car!

We've only had the car for a few weeks but we are extremely happy. We love the space w/ the limited model and the bucket seats make transporting the kids an ease.

Nothing but troubles

I have had my Acadia Denali in for service 7 times + numerous calls with GMC support and they refuse to fix my issues. If you buy this vehicle you better hope you don't have any issues because the warranty is useless.

One of my favorite vehicles I've every owned!

The vehicle is great for my family, with the third row seats and enough USB charging ports for everyone. Seats are very comfortable! My children love the double sunroof.

Great SUV, but could be better.

Drives great, but interior leaves a lot to be desired. Granted, I have the base model SEL with AWD, but the fake wood trim on all models is incredibly unrealistic. I've never seen wood that color. The fabric seats have a very rough texture and are not comfortable if you're wearing shorts. The front passenger seat is very low and cannot be height adjusted. Some of the plastics, particularly the cup holders and ceiling vents, are very thin or ill fit. Other than these flaws, the Acadia comes standard with bells and whistles that are usually options on other cars. The rear levers that drop the middle row seats are ingenious. While the base model comes only with a 4 cylinder engine, its quite peppy and has no problem getting to highway speed quickly. Plenty of cargo room for its class size. Third row is quite roomy for a mid-size SUV. Long and short of it is that it is a good value for the money and a very comfortable and versatile vehicle. I would recommend that GMC consider making height adjustment on the passenger side standard, a rear hatch release inside the vehicle, more realistic wood like trim, better plastics, and smoother fabrics.
