Lots of technology

This SUV has all the technology I need. Yes, there are some things not available(head-up display & turn signals in the mirrors ) but to get them on another vehicle would cost a lot more money. I really like the Adaptive cruise control. It is one of the main reasons I bought it.

Most Economical SUV I've Owned

I traded a 2010 Honda Pilot for a 2017 Acadia SLE Awd with the 2.5 I-4. While it doesn't have quite the power I had with the pilot, I am getting fantastic fuel mileage. I have been getting the same economy driving in town as I used to on the highway. I am still happy with the acceleration though. The amenities are very nice for an entry level SUV too.

Love it but came with some issues

So I went from an Escalade to this and I love it however I’ve had some issues. The mirror sensors have had to be replaced twice. I also had the shifter replaced as it wouldn’t shift into park and would give an error and stay on when I shit the car off. However it drives great is good on gas and I really like it.

Great driving small SUV.

Plenty of power with the V6. Also decent on gas, normally about 22mpg with mixed driving. The Denali model if loaded with tech gadgets, although you'd be fine without them. The infotainment system is top notch. The seats are comfortable with plenty of room in the first two rows. The third row can accommodate adults, but they would be cramped. The large A pillar does present an issue for low speed/parking lot maneuvers. Cargo/Storage is virtually non-existant with the 3rd row up. Lay the 3rd row down and you have some room, but it could be better. A family of 4 can pack for a week in it, but it is tight. The newer design is lighter and it feels like it. It drives more like a sedan than an SUV.

Great car but terrible headlights

Great vehicle but very hard to drive at night as the headlights are very weak. Good on fuel and comfortable to drive. Maybe a little overpriced.

Great SUV, nice style and performance

I liked this Acadia, and only really traded it because I wanted a pick up truck. The Acadia was roomy good on fuel and fun to drive

Luxury at a bargain

Bought CPO. The DENALI trim provides many of the safety features I consider essential for this generation of drivers (lane departure warning is a must). Smooth ride. I love the dual skyscape sunroof and light interior because it makes it feel so open. I occasionally have trouble bumping the liftgate button, but I'm still learning. Probably just a matter of preference, but I'm not crazy about the touch screen so far. Feels less safe while driving. Though, this has the heads up display, which is nice. Has remote start, but there should be an option to have it set so when the car turns on, the heated seats and steering wheel also come on. Vice versa in the winter. Overall, a great vehicle and I'm looking forward to putting hundreds of thousands of miles until it finally gives up.

Best Car that I ever had.

Car is spacious, the only problem with it are the roof racks which I didn?t have,I just wish that i do have would make it look different.
