I have never owned an SUV until the Acadia.

The Acadia should fit all of our needs. We like all of the room that it has to offer as we plan to do some traveling.

Nice car

Lots of space and it fits all of my needs and requirements. Very family friendly and it has trunk space PLUS it still has room in the third row

Purchase a competitors vehicle. You will be happy

First, I will say this is the 3rd SUV ive purchased (Last 2 being Sorrento and CX9) and the last time I will purchase a GM SUV. I purchased a 2017 Acadia Denali new in 2017 and have put 29k miles on it. These are the issues I have/had: -Hood was not aligned from factory (huge gap on one side) -Steering wheel metal trim was bent and sharp enough to give you a scrape if you were not careful (Hulk Smashed it down it for safety) -Both driver and passenger sun visor mirror covers broke with minimal use and 1 Mirror broke out of nowhere -Stritch trim on driverside dash crooked (Maybe Robot went on strike?) -The Horn is the hardest ive ever had to press to get sound (Maybe they dont want you to make noise in neighborhoods or want you to reconsider hurting someone's feelings?) -When pulling out roughly 50% of the time it seems as if the transmission can't find the correct gear after 1st (takes ~2 seconds to find the appropriate gear). -Cooled seats are weakest ive ever used. After these issues and the few not listed that ive had warrantied....I would purchase a competitors vehicle if I could do it all over again. I never had 1 issue with the Sorento or CX9.

need repair, dealer won't fix

Sorry I dealt with Shakopee Chev. Shoot me in the head if this will ever happen again, they give you nothing but excuses for answers

Love the Size

I am a previous GMC Acadia owner. I liked it so much that when mine was totaled I wanted another. I went with a used 2017 and I LOVE it! The upgrades they have made are amazing! I hope this car is one I will be able to drive for MANY MANY years!!

At 35,000 Miles, No problems, minor or major.

Was looking for a mid size SUV to replace a 2012 Grand Cherokee that was totaled in an accident. Spouse did not want another one. We looked at Chevrolet offerings, but did not like them enough to own them. Went to GMC/Buick dealer, looked at Buick and GMC's. Dealer had a GMC Acadia that was a demo. (owner's wife drove it). Had good option package and we received an excellent price. So far we have had no problems with it, Major or Minor and NO recalls.

This car is fun!

This car is where luxury meets the needs of the family. My Denali is comfortable and my kids love the captains chairs, headrest TVs, and WiFi. The gas mileage is great for an SUV. I am proud to own this GMC!

Love this vehicle. Love the ventilated seats!!!!

Love the Denali! Had a Yukon Denali and Traded for an Acadia Denali. Much better gas mileage. Love all the safety features on the Acadia and love that it has OnStar!

Very reliable and comfortable car

Met my needs. Looks good, good mileage, very roomy back seat. little high of a step in., but manageable. Lots of space in back. Third row seat is not really usable except for small person but handy to have regardless.
