Sexy Smart Mom Car

The driver seat is kind of oddly situated and the second back sunroof does not open but the hot and cold seats the looks, the leather, the dvd package is on point. It is an odd vehicle. Best gas mileage for a big vehicle ever Thousands in upkeep this year but that is what happens when you get a nice vehicle primarily the biggest issue was the Schumacher auto in Delray that sold it to me that was the smoothest trade in ever that I eventually regretted

Pretty nice

It’s more of a vehicle you drive for looks. On test drive the liner that covers inside of sunroof fell down and couldn’t figure out how to put it back up. Read other consumer reviews & there are a lot of issues known to go wrong on these, not cheap or normal fixes. Don’t think I’d trust taking it on a road trip with the family.

Smooth, refined luxury at a great value

I could not be happier with the GMC Acadia for what I need it to do. Plenty of power, good towing capability and room for the whole family it has surprised me time and time again with how nice it is all at a price that is incredibly reasonable. I would absolutely recommend this car to anyone looking for a bigger SUV to fit 5+ people in for long roadtrips.

it just won’t run right!

The car is beautiful but it needed a lot of work. Taking to shop for the 6th time tomorrow and fishing out another $1,900 to fix the torque converter...

Just what I was looking for

Met my needs for my family. The vehicle is great but the fixing of problems was not. Personal in service didn't read computer as to what was wrong. Independent mechanic read computer and fixed it on first try.

Most spacious vehicle I’ve owned for my family.

I am so in love with this vehicle. I cannot be more happier with my purchase. I love the spacious room for my family and the details inside and out! My favorite vehicle I’ve owned thus far!!

Best 7 passenger car I’ve driven

This car met all my family’s needs and based on my budget it fell into our price range. I’ve driven a lot of gm products in my life and I keep coming back to them.

Never had problem with this Acadia or previous one

This car has been excellent for us but has is more than what we now need. The Acadia is very classy with lots of options. It has always run great as we have taken meticulous care of it, waxing, washing, and maintenance.
