Very nice car

Very good. Peppy, comfortable. Like all new cars, it is very expensive, but not more than competing cars. I would have liked a brighter color, but was not available.

First car I bought by myself and I am 69 yrs old

I like setting up higher than a regular car and the comfort of it. I like dual air conditioning. I love the Sirrius radio. There is plenty of leg room in the front and back seats.

So far so good.

I bought this car 2 weeks ago. So far everything I wanted. The only negative is the radio screen. The letters are small and hard to push to tune the stations.

Big SUV, Great Road Vehicle

The Acadia Denali is a beautiful SUV and very solid and comfortable. It is a great highway vehicle, but it is bigger than we like for local driving. It has all of the safety features. My only comment on the lane keep assist is that it only nudges you back most of the time when you cross the line. It would be nice to be more firm and before the line is actually crossed.

The automated technology needs a do over

My car is less than a year old and I've had it towed to the dealership twice as the auto parking brake would not release. My battery has been defective and needed to be replaced. Also caused the parking brake to fail. It has been a good car but the technology needs to be reviewed for improvements.

More luxury than I expected - I love it.

Very comfortable seats and driving position. Lots of room for cargo with 2 rows of fold-down seats. This car is smooth, responsive, stable, and very quiet on the road.

Just the SUV I was looking for

I love my 2017 Acadia. Just purchased it about a week ago and have no issues with performance. I have the All Terrain package that has beautiful Kalahari leather. The only issues I have with the interior is that there were some options that were excluded that would have made it function better. It seems that you have to buy the limited or Denali editions to get everything you want. The All Terrain package doesn't have a third row (which is ok), no sunroof, only turn by turn navigation through OnStar, power down windows only. Back up cam is helpful but the front parking alert would've been nice. Overall, this is a very nice SUV to drive and will be perfect for hauling biking and camping gear with the spacious trunk and storage.

So far so good.

Really nice car. This car has an amazing interior which is easily a 10/10. GMC definitely put some time into making a good interior for this car and it shows.

Excellent vehicle!

This car is amazing. The engine is powerful and the ride is incredibly smooth. You'll catch yourself speeding before you know it. The interior is beautiful and comfortable.
