There are a lot of things that look great about this car at first glance. The styling is good, great size, very spacious interior, etc. However, in the three years since we bought it this thing has been in the shop for extensive maintenance at least 12 times. Between the bad strut mounts, broken rear lift gate, battery corrosion, bad starter, bad alternator, contaminated chassis module, defective spark plugs, front axle replacement, leaking power steering fluid, oil leaks, and numerous headlight replacements, we've had enough. Again, all in 3 years. We're at 135k miles, but the list of issues is endless. As soon as you fix one thing, you'll have 4 more pop up. We can't wait to get rid of this car and get something reliable that won't require a tow every 3 months. RUN AWAY!!!

My husband brought this 2011 vehicle in March of 2015 and I'm now having transmission problems. WHY is it that this 2011 with only 83,867 miles on it having transmission problems????????? I also hate the silver lining around the vents, the sun blinds you from it. The front headrest are not comfortable. The navi is very generic and plain. I cannot Bluetooth my droid which is a BIG problem for me. I was he hadn't purchased this for me. I really HATE it. Now we have to worry about either getting a new trans or trading it in. DO NOT PURCHASE THIS VEHICLE.......

Great car overall. I wasn't planning on getting the 'Diamond Tri-Coat White', i.e. pearl, color, but glad that is what I wound up with. I have gotten several compliments on the color, it really looks good in the sun. The leather seats are wonderful, but the headrest is driving me crazy. It is tilted forward to help with crash stability, but it's hard trying to get comfortable. The sliver around the cup holder can be distracting in the bright sun. Good room for the family, will probably get an after market rear console and maybe running boards for the kids, GM seems pretty proud of those accessories list price.

After deciding we wanted to have a vehicle with more people/cargo room, we traded in our 2008 Impala LTZ and ordered our new 2011 GMC Acadia SLT2. Although we have only driven it for 3 weeks now and have 1000 miles on it, we can see it is everything we wanted/needed in our "new wheels". Ride is fantastic, gas mileage is close to the window sticker suggested mpg highway and city. Has volumes of cargo space with rear seats reclined (although we still haven't gotten the knack for dropping the center bucket seats completely down). Enjoy the heads-up display and navigation system. Rear backup camera a must! We have always owned GM products and so far this Acadia meets & beats our expectations.

Very solid vehicle. Smooth comfortable ride that has held up nicely over the years. First major repair was at 100K mikes to replace failed fuel injectors, then150K miles for spark plugs. The second repair was expensive due to the position of the plugs. Other than that its been rock solid. They keep sending me promotions to trade it in for a new one, but I have no reason to turn it in. Coast to coast trips and north/south trips with a full load of passengers and baggage performed with no issues. I'm surprised that the technology still holds up well against today's competition - Road trip DVDs, iPod integration, USB outlets, AC outlets, BOSE speakers. It still looks good against today's competition also.
