Used 2011 GMC Acadia Consumer Reviews
wow!!!!
I leased my 2011 Acadia in July of 2010, straight off the truck, first GMC I have ever driven. I was at the time driving an Explorer 7pass., that I was in love with and swore by. I was actually going to buy another one. However just paying attention to the different SUV's on the road, I liked the look and test drove a Saturn Outlook first. Then the GMC Acadia caught my eye. I went to the dealer to test drive one, and the next day my mind was made up (actually after I drove it my mind was made up) and I was the proud owner of a beautiful, stylish, comfortable, roomy, well handling, just outstanding vehicle in every aspect and detail. Can you tell I love my Acadia?
A great drive with world class interior very nice
The ride is not bad however poor gas mileage and idle is a bit rough overall not a bad choice

So sad that I have to find another 3-row SUV
I love my Acadia Denali. I purchased it in 2012, brand-new. I now have a little over 82,000 miles on it and have been having issues over the past year. I've replaced the alternator twice and now I'm having major carbon build up issues. It started last winter and seemed to be fine after an induction cleaning but now it's happening again. The check engine light keeps coming on due to misfires. It's been to 2 different mechanics who both agree that the problem is major carbon build-up in the intake valves. It's not fixable. I had the induction cleaning done again and have been told to only use top-tier gas and put Sea Foam in my tank at each oil change and to use an oil stabilizer. All I can do is treat the problem and hope that things will loosen up and blow out the carbon. I'm told that this is a common issue with this engine. I'm so sad because I really love this truck! I had all intentions of keeping it for another 100,000 miles but now I've got to find something else because I can't keep dumping money into this one.

A lot for a little, maybe
It's been a good SUV with lots of room on the inside and has been mostly a dependable vehicle. It's comfortable and easy to drive for long trips or even short drives just not great with MPG, 16-18 at best. Looking at a newer model so we will have to wait and see if GMC has done much with this model.

My take on Mileage and Interior Design
Bought Acadia Denali 2011 - Have 1800 miles on it now. Mileage: I drive on Highway 5 Los Angeles back and forth to work. I leave home around 6.30 A.M - Get 22-24 MPG Leave work around 4 P.M -Get 16-17 MPG City : 14-17 MPG Do not go by the on board computer that shows how many miles per gallon you are getting - Calculate yourself - Fill Tank - Note mileage - Drive and put some miles on it and then Fill again to see how many gallons you used. Interior: I have owned Navigator, Audi A6 before. I traded Accord to get this - Accord had way more leg room than this - Find it hard to rest left foot when driving - Get very frustrated because of poor design - Not enough leg room.
