Love this Denali 2019 Acadia.

Love this Denali 2019 Acadia. Bought in 2018 with a large Houston Dealer Discount (22%). Replaced 1 Battery under Factory warranty and the common Park/Assist malfunction repaired under 3rd Party Warranty ($1200+) in 2023. Smooth ride, V-6 @ 24-26 mpg highway/16-17 mpg town driving. Thermostat only other repair/replacement.

Terrible Buy

December 22, 2023

By P Scott from George West, Texas

Owns this car

Thought this 2019 GMC Acadia Denali would be a great car but I was wrong. Too small and not enough storage for drinks or items. A terrible shift to park issue that GMC won’t do anything about and fix is about $600. Very disappointing vehicle.
