Buyers Remorse

2012 GMC Acadia Denali 4dr SUV (3.6L 6cyl 6A)
10 of 25 people found this review helpful
When it was time to trade in our minivan, I began looking at crossovers. It appeared that the Acadia could not be beat for features, styling, and gas mileage. It did not take long for me to have buyers remorse. It has not come close to meeting the advertised mpg. I do the majority of my driving in the city and only get between 12-14 mpg! I have never gotten above 17.5 mpg on a highway roadtrip. This car has much less cargo space than my minivan and no storage room in the front other than the passenger seat for a purse, book, etc. The nav system has been unreliable. It looks pretty but does not meet the needs of our family. It has less than 10,000 miles and I'm ready to trade it in.
I WOULDN,T HAVE TO THINK TWICE ABOUT IT !!!!

I wouldn't have to think twice about buying this Acadia again. I would absolutely buy this Acadia again. It has been a pleasure to own and drive - plus it has great up to date design.

This, for me!, Is the best vehicle I’ve had, EVER. And I’ve had a few. I absolutely love this one. I’d recommend it to anyone that’s looking for a great family car. It’s been fantastic for ours.

I rate this vehicle very high. It is a joy to drive and it is very comfortable for the family to travel in. To me it is very responsive and drives really nicely. It is a bigger SUV but the room inside is amazing. I love the styling and look of the vehicle.
VERY DISAPPOINTING VEHICLE!

With less than 21,000 miles on this car, I had a problem getting the shift in park and was unable to turn the vehicle off. Repairs were approximately $500. One year later, the same problem occurred for another $500. Now (another year later with 21,000 miles), my all wheel drive & stabilitrack went belly up. I really loved the look and style of this vehicle and having the benefit of a third row. I had seriously thought about trading this vehicle in for another Acadia, but after reading all the problems, I may have to think twice about it. I have not yet brought my vehicle in to evaluate cost to repair all wheel drive because of recent extended hospital stays and rehab. Will find out cost to repair next week. I am sick about this! No vehicle with 21,000 miles should be having these problems!
