    I purchased my car brand new.

    I purchased my car brand new. The next day after purchase my vehicle back speaker decided to stop working and started to have static sounds. The blind spot indicator decided to stop working on the driver side. Then the back passenger seat belt stop working and the "shift to park" indicator won't go off. When I reported it to GMC nothing was resolved.

    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

    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.

    Best in class

    Some "professional" writers dislike the Acadia for it's smaller dimensions for a 3 row SUV, but I find it a plus for what I wanted. I've had a mid 90's Chevy Blazer, 99 Dodge Durango, 03 Hyundai Santa Fe, 07 Chevy Tahoe and a 13 Cadillac SRX. With it's shorter overhang and 112" wheel base this 3 row SUV is easy to drive in town and Forestry Service roads on BLM and National forest roads. Large enough to to SUV RVing. Everything lays total flat so I can sleep in the back(had to cut some plywood for the gap between the 2nd row captain chairs). 81" length inside with drivers seat back to fit my 6'1" frame. When wife comes along car camping need to use the Yakima Skybox 16 Carbonite(post 5/2020 manufacturing date, redesign to fit). Not hardcore, 2-3 days out, then hotel. Also my SLT-1 with 3.6l (optional) and towing package (optional) has more towing capacity than anything this size, 4,000 lbs, at a better price point.

    Reliable, affordable, comfortable, great space

    My husband is 6'8". I needed an SUV he could fit in while still having back seat legroom for our kids. I didn't want to spend 50K+ on a V8, and this was one of the few V6s that could offer all I needed. I am more than pleased. My only complaint is how wide the frame is around the windshield as it leaves quite the blind spot for the driver to your immediate left.
