GMC Acadia good family or commuter car

Bought a demo car . The Acadia has been great . Wife’s car . She likes it . Roomy and good gas mileage . Would also make a great road trip vehicle if I didn’t have a full size Ram .

electrical problems

my 2020 Acadia at4 was driving down the interstate 70mph at 5pm to work got a bunch of fault signals on the dash windshield wipers turn on by themselves shooting water. and completely stopped in the middle of interstate with cars doing 70mph all around me before i could get involved in a fatal car accident i called 911 and they called a truck to drag me to the side of interstate so i had it towed to the gmc dealer missed work of course had to rent car. after 2 days they tell me there was a clog in the ac evacuation hose, so water started being. directed into the main body control module totally destroying it and with parts and labor it would be 1760.00 so with missed work rental car tow truck over 2400 total don't know what kind of designer would put the main body control module anywhere near were it could get wet if something happened purchased this SUV new wish i would have gone with Nissan as recommended by many people but got this one for looks i have never had to put this much money on a 3yr old car had a Hyundai before and after 6 yrs. only needed brakes and new battery.

LOVE my Acadia SLT

I purchased the 2020 Acadia SLT new, I love my SUV, the ride is so smooth and the Bose system is killer, definitely a sharp looking SUV.One thing I would add is side interior cargo lights, the overhead light is not enough, other than that it's perfect and the dealership Delray Buick GMC those guys are awesome they take great care of my SUV.

2020 Good but not Perfect

For the most part I am happy that I bought my 2020 GMC Acadia however I cannot believe they did not provide a locking gas door and there's no gas cap therefore my car is 100% exposed to people who might want to steal gas out of the car and I'd like to add they trim the back size there was no need to do that it would have provided much more room appreci ate it if the sides and the top went straight back instead of contoured aside from those two things again as I said before I'm very happy to own and drive my 20/20 GMC Acadia thank you.

Perfect size for our family and garage

This car is the perfect size for our family of 4 and can accommodate 2 additional passengers if needed. Love all of the safety options and AWD. Had to park an Enclave at an angle to fit our smaller garage so this length is perfect. No issues and gets 20+mpg city 28 hwy.

Excellent performance

Plenty of cargo space with third seat which folds down. Performed well and was comfortable. Also, there is enough room for six adults when you need it.

I've had better

Love the look. The ride, it has a nice ride but still a lot of wind noise. I've had 2 Mazda CX5 Grand Touring SUVs. As far as options and pluses go, the Mazda far outweighs the Acadia. The Acadia is bigger, nice. Again, ride is better. But the Acadia being at least $12k more, lacks what a more expensive car should have. Why don't the daytime running and fog lights stay on? You have to turn them on every time you start the car. Why do you always have to turn the seat heater and steering wheel heat on? If you have the key fob with you, you should be able to set your locks to automatically lock as you walk away. Rain sensing wipers should be a must. There are several other things that they fail to have for an SUV in this price range. Below the question is, if I would recommend the Acadia to a friend. I wish there was a maybe response instead of just yes or no. I can't really answer the question of reliability, that's the reason for the answer I gave. I've only had it for a little more than 3 months.

So far I love this car!

It’s roomy, and drives good too! I do not like the fact that it cuts off when you stop it every time! But I’m trying to get used to it! My first GMC, Thank you for y’all’s help!
