HUGE DISAPPOINTMENT

I worked my rear off to afford a good vehicle to haul my children in. I already overpaid at a used car lot. I paid 9 grand for a 2009 a year ago. within a few weeks I noticed small things which I came to terms with based on the fact it was used. however, a few months down the road I started having problems with the catalytic converters, now a timing chain and a possible whole new motor. It has been one year almost exactly. I had the oil changed regularly and I have not put more than 6,000 miles on it in that year. one big move across state where I did not pull a trailer and then the basic commute to and from work. so, now I have to take another loan out for 6 grand to fix the car I had hoped would last me years. the dvd player doesn't work anymore, the auto start doesn't work anymore, the back up camera beeps but doesn't turn on. these things just went out one day with no warning signs. I will NEVER buy an acadia again or any GMC product based on how much this vehicle has failed. to also bash the seller, I bought this vehicle in billings, mt and they knew exactly what they were doing when they sold it to me. they knew these problems would arise. why in the world cant a person just honestly sell someone a car? we carry our children around in the cars. we expect our money that we invest will keep our families safe. car makers and car dealers are slimy and crooked. shame. very disappointed

Drivers seat lumbar feels like someone is poking you in the back. Uses a piston instead of bladder so I'm told by dealership. Passenger seat has more comfort. Sluggish at takeoff when cold. Muffler and other components are ripe for damage. Placement below frame. Do not recommend anyone to buy.

My wife, baby boy, and I shopped for our new vehicle for about a month. We test drove Lexus's, to Toyota's, to Volvo's, etc...you name it, were were there. We were in the market for an SUV/Crossover. After driving them all, we found the Acadia to be the clear winner on all fronts: great & smooth ride for a large vehicle; super spacious; great gas mileage for this size of car (don't agree w/ other folks who are voicing their concerns about the true MPH?); and all the functionality one would want w/ a car in this class. We have had the car for two mos and are 100% satisfied w/ our purchase. Should n e thing go wrong, the 100k warranty should cover us...A+ car;oh, 5 star crash rating too

Love My Acadia!

I traded in a 2004 Saturn Vue AWD V6 for the 2009 Acadia SLT 2. I love driving it (and I do it a lot!) and my friends are very comfortable on trips we take to go to conferences. I've gotten better than advertised MPG (22/26) with mixed driving. The Bluetooth is great and the sound system is better than any other car I've ever had. I have XM Radio and I love listening to great music when I'm on the road. I use the On-Star turn by turn navigation and that has been exceptionally useful. The seats front and back are very comfortable and access is easy. I have had NO problems with the vehicle.

Great SUV

Traded in a loaded 2002 Trailblazer LTZ for the loaded Acadia SLT2. As much as I loved the LTZ, this one has it beat in every way (except the LTZ had the rain sensor wipers). Only 4 months old but the milage is better than the LTZ even with AWD. The headsup display is great as are the heated/cooled seats. Enough storage space with the rear seat folded down, but plenty more with the second row captain's seats folded down. Really soomth ride with plenty of power. The Nav system is superior to my old Garmin unit. Not crazy about the plastic chrome interior trim. Looks cheap. Could use an upgrade in this area. All in all more than satisfied.
