Best car buying experience ever!

We bought a 2018 Acadia and love it. We have owned/driven Suburban's for nearly 30 years and this vehicle gives us that big vehicle feel, but at a great savings all around.

Love it.

Of all the mid to full sized SUVs/CUVs, I liked the styling of the Acadia, by far. I think it has a bit of a "truck" look, as opposed to all the other SUVs/CUVs that all look about the same. Perfect size for me; the Chevy Traverse is very nice, but a bit too big for my needs.

Not feeling this vehicle...

I?m comparing the 2018 GMC Acadia Denali to my previous 2007 Lincoln MKX and 2010 Lincoln MKT and, to be honest, there?s no comparison! I?ve had the GMC for over 6 months and can?t get comfortable driving it. If I drive over a road seam, the steering jerks, like I over-corrected. Today, I?m sitting waiting for Roadside Assistance for the SECOND TIME since I got the vehicle! The reason? As soon as the Low Fuel alarm goes off, the vehicle stalls - Out of Gas!!! Fuel Range says I have 51 miles. This issue alone, to me, is unacceptable! I?ll be glad when I can trade this lease for sure!!!

A computer on wheels

Very impressed with the handling, styling and function s available in the car. Also, one of the better "deals" I have entered into over my years of car buying.

Decent car. A little pricey

I have the slt. I love the look of this car but there are a couple of things inside that I would love to change but can't. None of the windows are automatic to roll up, so you have to keep your finger on it the whole time. You cannot completely close off the outside air, the close circulation button just lessens the amount that comes in. I love that I have AC plug. I love the easiness of the touch screen

Love my Acadia. I?m a General Motors fan.

This SUV feels like a car. It?s very comfortable and I feel very safe with all of the traveling I do. I love all of the interior features.

Comfortable, reliable vehicle

We found this car the most comfortable in its class. Plenty of pep. Lots of leg room and cargo space, nice backup camera and fantastic computer system.

been in shop 5 weeks out of 5 months. d

Not so happy, first time owning a GMC. My vehicle parts has to be sent over seas from an assembly plant to get repairs. I have so far 2 issues involving water leaks with electrical which the 2018 Acadia has been in the shop 5 weeks out of the 5 months I have owned it. Is it bad luck, bad assembly or poor engineering?

Comfortable and Luxurious

This Arcadia is like driving a couch. Smooth on pavement and extremely comfortable interior. Very roomy for passengers and shopping. I am very satisfied with this car.
