After testing several other cars including the pilot, highlander, and CX9 we chose the Acadia because it had the best internal room / design and it also handles pretty good. 3 Row space is good as well and access through the captains chairs that fold is really easy.
Initial quality only

The TV commercials are correct when it states "Highest in initial quality." The SUV is quite, smooth ride, great storage, a billion cup holders, and comfortable. We do love the vehicle. We take great care of this vehicle. ...... Now the bad part: THERE IS NO QUALITY TO THE VEHICLE! Without any exaggeration, everything on this vehicle has just about broken. it is ridiculous how many things have broken and stupid stuff. For example, the vanity mirror covers no longer stay up when the sun visor is down. The vanity mirrors maybe were used once in a blue moon. The 3rd seat upholstery seam for the seat has come apart. We only use the third row when family comes to visit. From inside to outside, if you plan on owning this vehicle for longer than a lease period, expect it to fall apart. I will never purchase a GMC again.

Living in minnesota roads are potholed, snow covered and salt abused. It is fantastic at cushioning out bumps and drowning out road noise but that os where the praise stops. One massive problem is MPG the car computer says i average 19 in mostly hyway driving, ive done the math countless times and found it actually get between 13 and 16. The interior seats cause back pain and visibility out the back windows includes the sky and tops of trees. In the winter this car on winter tires with awd has proven itself less snow worthy then my son's fwd volvo sedan on all seasons, thats mostly because in order for the awd to actually kick in you need to floor it. We baught this car new in 2008 and it now has 121,000 miles on it and weve gone through 6 transmissions 2 computers 1 gage cluster, 2 radios, both seat motors, and 2 sets of rims because theyve shattered, weve talked to gm about the constant issues and they claimed normal wear and tear. Idk about you but i find 2 transmitions before 60k miles a problem. The next time something on this car dies its gone and im buying a new volvo!

In regards to owning a 2008. The hour I bought it the rear window button was messed up. 2 weeks later the air conditioning went out. 3 months later the power steering gear box shaved part on the actual gears and I lost all power to the steering. At the time I was 6 months pregnant and I was scared to drive it. The owner CEO of GMC should remember my letter unless the staff signed it for him. Then within the next 7 months the power steering was reached a total of 3 times. I traded it in the dealer I bought it from for a '09' model.After owning this for 1 year and a half at about 55,465 miles same for the 08, now battery issues and it needed a new alternator. 800.00. I just bought a VolvoXC90

My wife and I have had this car for almost a year and we absolutely love it. We had a baby last fall and travel back and forth from Lansing, MI to Western New York (425 miles one way) several times a year and this vehicle has enough room for all three of us our Yellow Lab and all our luggage. It's a dream to drive and with the cruise set at 74 mph I still average 23.2 mpg. When the rear seats are folded down you have more cargo room that you can imagine. I've hauled lots of office furniture with it. I even towed one of my other cars (that broke down) from London Ontario back to Lansing. It towed like a dream too!
