Buyer Beware!

We recently bought the Acadia because we wanted a car with better gas mileage than our Expedition. Big disappointment. We are only getting about 12 mpg. Since the sticker advertised 16 city/24 highway, you can imagine my surprise when I only got 12. The car is beautiful in design and interior layout is excellent. But if you're looking for a wonderful car with great gas mileage, buy something else. I will be getting rid of this car as soon as possible. Looks aren't everything and if GMC can't do better than to make a vehicle with such poor gas mileage, they should stop making them. I'll take my Expedition back anyday.

I simply cannont tell in words how much fun it is to drive this car. I have been a faithful Chevy Blazer driver since 1995 with the same car! Coming from that car to this car gas wasn't an issue. I love all the cargo space and easy to use features. Remote start is a wonderful feature when it is cold outside and your car is warming for you. It is easier to drive in the wind it doesn't blow me around as much. I couldn't think of a better car to come over too if you are a Blazer, Tahoe or other SUV owner without the need for towing. I highly recommend this car to anyone.

Not worth the money $$$

I have had my Acadia for 2 years and had more trouble for what it's worth. I have had it in the shop for too many non-routine repairs then desired. Big thing is that they are leaky which can cause lots of problems with the electronic systems. It is too bad because the $$ you pay for these SUV's should represent a quality product. After my lease is done so am I with the Acadia.

Interior is going wrong!

I've had the acadia over 2 years. I love it! Well recently I've had some problems with the interior. The hydraulic arms to the back door have also gone bad. The larger seat in the middle passenger row won't move. The seat belts in the back are not comfortable (latches), they don't give at all. Good if you are tiny and can fit between them. I'm just disappointed in the problems going wrong right now. Sunglass compartment on dash also sticks. Nothing mechanical (cross your fingers). Wish the tires were a normal size so they didn't cost so much to replace! Love the car though!
