So Far So Good

I just bought this crossover. I looked at all crossovers - foreign and domestic - price, and mpg - and found Acadia a bit larger than I would have initially prefered, however I was impressed. I drive mainly in a small town, and I get 17 mph, with an average speed of 22mph from block to block. I've owned Chevy trucks, a Tahoe, and an ML 350 Benz which I traded in for the Acadia. The interior is amazing, roomier than Toyota Rav4 (which was really narrow). Acceleration on Interstate was fine - I am not a dynamic quick driver rabbit start driver, so this vehicle suites my driving style nicely. Great to have the camera - in color - in the rear view mirror.

Not bad at all

Nice exterior design. Good ride, I like the auto lift gate and great storage in the rear. Hard plastic interior is a little bit of a bummer and scratches easily however the layout of the dash and other accessories are good. Quiet ride on asphalt and road noise on concrete (typical). Absorbs the road imperfections very well. There is a small storage compartment on the dash, I dont get that one. You need an inspection mirror to see down in there to find the USB and I-Pod jack. Kind of useless IMO. Mileage is around 18mpg, typical for 5500 lbs of vehicle. Engine is not too noisy either. Radio in the rear console does get pretty warm, unusual for something solid state.

Had a 2001 Dodge Durango which I loved. After 12 years it was time for a new SUV. I test drove the Traverse, VeraCruz, Durango, and the Durango. As soon as I sat in the GMC, I was sold. The ride is comfortable, it handles great and has lots of room.

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!
