Great Rental

I rented a GMC Acadia this past week from Alamo - and ended up really enjoying this vehicle. We own a '07 Acura MDX and an '04 Sienna, and this SUV/crossover fell right in between on size, comfort, performance and mileage. From a size perspective, this car had more room with the seats folded down than our MDX. In terms of comfort, the leather heated seats, quad chairs and smooth ride were appreciated by the entire family. Performance-wise - it's not as tight a car as the MDX,but it remains a competent highway and city cruiser. . Mileage was impressive, and it's great to fill up on regular gas for a change. Would I buy this car -maybe - but would like to take the Buick Enclave first.

We`ve just traded our 2007 Honda odessy for a 09 Acadia, great vehicle. Feels big because it is, fun to drive, good looks, roomy interior and the kids loike it too. Gets expensive very quickly if you aren`t careful with the options, in dash 6 cd changer should be standard as well as a back up camera. Overall ( so far ) a great choice and a much better value then the Honda.

I have driven Japanese for years, but decided to give GMC a try, first with a 2005 Sierra Truck and now with the 2009 Acadia. I have never been happier. My 2009 GMC AWD Acadia SLE is fully stocked, including dual sunroof, LCD screen, folding sideview mirrors, back up camera, heated seats, Bose sound system, tri-coat platinum finish, luxury leather interior, bluetooth technology, remote start, and more. My Acadia is a beauty. We average 6'3 in my family. Amazingly everyone is comfortable - even on cross county trips. The Acadia is easy to maneuver, accelerates with easy, gives a quiet ride and epitomizes the best in luxury and savings.

Fun to drive

Love this vehicle. We traded in 06 Buick Terraza and we had nothing but trouble with the Buick so we gave GMC another shot no regrets.This truck is actually roomier than the minivan but drives like a car. I don't have the 4wd, we just got 6 inches of snow here in Chicago and this truck has not yet got stuck anywhere. It's amazing. Not to mention how safe it feels to drive rain or snow the drive is smooth. I highly recomend this vehicle.

Beware of Estimated MPG's

All around I love my new Acadia. But beware of the sticker estimated MPG's. The sticker says 17cty/24hwy, my actual so far has been 13cty/17hwy. If I had known this before my decision may have changed on buying an Acadia. All but the poor MPG's I love my new Acadia.
