Poor voice recognition

My 2018 Acadia Denali has less than 10,000 miles and has been back to the dealership 5 times with issues. The navigation voice recognition is defective, GMC acknowledges the problem but have no updates to fix the problem and offer no help. Also, the rear shocks were deemed defective & were replaced. the transmission slips gears intermittently. The collision warning system activated with no vehicle near by. Poor decision on picking this vehicle.

Excellent design and performance - inside and out!

This car is very comfortable and has all of the luxuries you could want. The heated seats and steering wheel are awesome! The Bose sound system is incredible. There are safely features galore! This is a great car for our family of five.

Perfect and smooth drive.

With the price, totally worth it. Great handling and driving. Gas saver with the car in that size. Perfect for families with kids and driving in the road.

We liked our Explorer better

For the money we paid, the Explorer was a much nicer and overall better vehicle. We have a 2018 Denali Acadia and when you drive it the headliner rattles constantly. The car makes odd sounds when you get out of the vehicle, like power actuators moving. For the money, being it a Denali and a GMC, we don't feel we should have changed from Ford.

My favorite car yet!

We bought our Acadia Denali in January 2018. We also bought a 2018 Tahoe a month later to replace our 2010 Yukon. I am 6?4? tall and always loved our Yukon because of the size of it fit me so well. When we bought this Acadia, I was shocked at how well I fit in the drivers seat and how comfortable I felt while driving. I love our new Tahoe, but, I love our new Acadia more. The seats are a softer leather and it just has a nicer feel to the handling to it. It also has way better acceleration than the Tahoe. We have no reason for third row seats, so, we keep them down, which is great for throwing groceries in the back or hauling things from the hardware store etc. Long story short, we love our Acadia, and easily give it 5 stars.

Best car I ever owned

I his is my 4th GMC Acadia. Being in my 70s, I bought it for the safety features, 360 degree visual of surroundings around vehicle, rear tv cameral, warning of car in your blind spot on side mirrors, and established safety distance between my car and the vehicle ahead of me when cruise control is on. Style and interior play a big part in my selection,
