2012 GMC Acadia SLT-1 4dr SUV AWD (3.6L 6cyl 6A)

For our new car, we were going to test drive an edge at ray seraphin ford, but when they wouldn't let us because there was snow on top of the car (:0), we decided to go right next door to Scranton GMC. I fell in love with it as soon as we drove it off of the lot because of all the features as well as smoothness of the ride! A few months later, after driving every other comparable car, we decided on the acadia! Ever since Hallowee 2011, we have taken the beloved acadia everywhere, and racked up 16,000 miles, all without ONE problem(except for one onstar issue, but that wasn't the car's fault). The GMC acadia fits any family like a new member and is the best crossover/ SUV choice out there!!!!
Not for the snow

2012 GMC Acadia Denali 4dr SUV AWD (3.6L 6cyl 6A)

Bought this SUV as a family hauler. We live in the Pacific Northwest so AWD is great for the rain. Problem is that the Denali mode does not allow for snow chains...ever. This was never told to us at the dealership and now we feel pretty stupid for not asking up front but it did not occur to us. Don't know if models with smaller rims might accommodate chains but don't upgrade to the Denali model is you want to spend any time in the snow.
A/C problems - and we live in Texas!

We have 40K miles on this car and have needed A/C repair three times. Thank goodness we purchased the extended warranty. Oh and don't bother trying to update the navigation system - dealership had to order it from the mother ship and then wiped out all our saved locations during the 2-hour upload and now it malfunctions frequently. :(

2012 GMC Acadia SLE 4dr SUV (3.6L 6cyl 6A)

Let’s buy made in the USA. The Acadia is reasonably priced for similar comps, looks great and timeless and the test drive loved how it handled more like a car. Then we hit 45,000 miles repair after repair but what do we care it’s under warranty too bad the idiot light in my head didn’t go off saying this is a poorly made piece of junk. 100K fast forward off of warranty for the next 9,000 miles spent $6000 just to keep it running. Hello Japan good buy GMC. It’s crap and they did do nothing to fix the problems they know exists. Still looks god I the drive way though.

I wanted to like the Acadia but after numerous repairs, several for the same issue (A/C not working) we sold it and bought a Honda Pilot. Much happier and zero issues.
