Not happy

No cd player, sits too low to the ground, no electronic folding mirrors, head hits the roof. My acadia is the denali cd player mirrors should have been included sorry I made this purchase. Wish I purchased the acadia limited has more features than the denali.

Just what we wanted!

We wanted an American made car, one that had a local and locally owned dealership for the car purchase. When we began our search, we knew that we wanted a 3rd seat, therefore an SUV., We have friends who have Acadias and they have always been pleased with the model. It drives very smoothly, we feel safe in the vehicle and the features, both standard and additional ones meet our needs. I am having to get used to the larger than usual driver side rear view mirror which is why I makred a 4 for comfort.

Smoothest ride I've owned yet!

Love my new 2017 GMC ACADIA it's the slt-2 limited and is beautiful. Handles so easy, smooth comfortable drive, plenty of leg room and seating for our family of 5. To quote my husband, " has everything but an automatic butt wipe!" Many safety features in this car, air bags all around inside, I absolutely love my backup camera with the sensors in back and front of car, even my side mirrors sense cars coming behind me to let me know not to cross over!! Great family ride, with safety, comfort, and affordability in mind, you won't be disappointed!

Great Interior and 2nd row space

I was looking for a new car to accommodate my new baby, and after test driving all the 3rd row, medium SUVs I chose the Acadia based on interior space, design and convenience. The 2nd row is spacious, and with the 3rd row down you get a lot of cargo space. The hands-free features are all great for safe driving and easy to use. It handles like a truck more than an SUV (we also have an F-150 end an Edge) which is the only thing I don't love. It's got a little of that truck "wobble" versus really tight handling. But great turning radius, and easy to maneuver.

Confortable, and has great basic features

I love the ride and handling. It has a little "Truck" feel to, but it is a small SUV. A little pricey, but it has so far been a winner. Highway cruising is when it's at it's best. City mileage is goo, and at times shuts the engine off when stopped and restarts instantly to conserve fuel. Nice app that goes with the Onstar too, gives you all the maintenance info and allows you to send a planed route to the car form your phone, among many other options.

Decent vehicle but...

Having owned a 2014 Acadia, decided to test drive the new model when car shopping. While the vehicle is nice in terms of features and equipment, it no longer works for our family of seven. The redesign is narrower, so there is cargo space lost. In order to accommodate 7, the second row is a bench seat for 2-3-2 seating. Leaves the third row less accessible. A fine vehicle but for a smaller family. We passed on this and purchased a Buick Enclave instead.

All Terrain Edition

They shrunk the 2017 which Im not to thrilled about. The performance is much better than the 2015 Denali I had. The interior design is much much better . The seats width good use another inch on the bottoms. It handles better also.
