A car that want to be a truck when it grows up

As an SUV "crossover" this car did not meet my needs. Interior carco space is no better than the trunk of a small car. The trim was coming loose aftr 6 months of moderate driving, and driving with a window open is absolutley dismal, as it sounds like a helicopter is next to the vehicle outside the window. I bought a vehicle with an in dash navigation system, only to find out that a substantial monthly subscription is REQUIRED for navigation to work (NO SUBSCRIPTION = NO GPS).

Great Family Vehicle

I like a large vehicle and my wife likes a smaller style, so we compromised on the Acadia. It is as roomy as larger vehicles but small enough to satisfy both wants. Gets 18-20 MTG and drives smooth. The only thing it needs is just a little more power. The Denali would have had a little more power . Wish they had one when I bought the Acadia LS because of size.

Beautiful car

After owning a 2010 acadia slt for 6 years we knew the quality if these vehicles. The newer body style seems of a better build quality. Even though its slightly smaller there's more passenger room than the old one. Way more power, and tons of gadgets in the denali. Favorite feature is the air conditioned seats.

Very pleased with this car!

The car is very comfortable with lots of extras and we get good mileage with it. The back is nice and large as we antique a lot and haul lots of goods that we purchase on our trips.

So far so good

Beautiful details and comfortable. Possibly a problem with the A/C, but warrenty should cover this. Has all the room for the twin girls. The ride is very smooth for the size car it is.

Great Value

The 2017 Acadia is a great car. All of the bells and whistles that come on this car is truly exceptional for the price. Back up Camera, navigation, Apple Car Play, heated front seats, dual climate control, rear climate control. It rides smooth and is easy on the eye.

An amazing SUV!

This a very sporty, and roomy SUV. It?s great for a family, plenty of room for people when traveling. We love our Acadia Denali! Will buy another!

Love my Acadia!

I have never owned a GMC but this car is fantastic. General Motors really thought of everything. It?s so comfortable and safe too. Love it!

I like it a lot. But uses lots of gas

This car was great! Nice, smooth, ran great also. Gpm was a bit to much. Loved the onstage service. But didn't like the fact that didn't have CD player

Most convenient and reliable car I have ever owned

My Acadia is so quiet, luxurious, comfortable, has plenty of head room for passengers, hauling items and the optional third row is seats serves so many purposes.
