When I was a kid we had Packards ( Ask the man who owns one ) ...after that we drove Chevys & Cadillacs. In the 80's we switched to German iron since all the US auto makers fell flat on quality. My 2012 Acadia has revised my opinion of American quality. A very sophisticated work of engineering...very much on a par with the German product, as well as the Japanese...and at a more realistic purchase price ...and very much more reasonable service charges. The Acadia handles very precisely for such a large outfit. Mixed driving 20. 8 mpg. on the AWD version. I am very impressed.

Consumer Reports noted that this year and model could have climate control problems. In the three summers we have had the car, we did have to have the rear compressor replaced. It was covered undr warranty, so we were happy. Otherwise, we have really enjoyed having such a sturdy and safe car for our family to ride in. It is a blast driving the AWD in the snow!

We bought our AWD Acadia Denali in February, cashing in our GM rewards and trading in our 2010 Acura MDX. In 2010, we decided to trade our 2003 Acura MDX. We looked at our recent MDX and the Acadia, which we loved the looks of. Unfortunately, the cheap plastic interior was a deal breaker for us. We loved both MDX's, but the 3rd row was a joke and it didn't have enough cargo room for our family trips. We were thrilled to see the Acadia Denali redesigned for 2013! The interior is now on par with the MDX and while it's not quite as nimble or quick, it's still a lot of fun to drive. My husband and I both love this vehicle and so do the kids! It's a real eye catcher in the White Diamond, too!
Loved this car until I reached 90k miles

Speakers shorted out. Driver seat panel literally came off and cannot be reattached. Alternator died. GMC Mahwah NJ charged over $800 to replace the alternator. Charged over $800 to replace speakers. The car has some type of electrical problem. It does not always start and the speakers still cut in and out. The car stutters when reaching 2.5 rpm. Disgusted with car and dealership.

I bought my 2012 GMC Acadia Denali at the end of 2012 brand new at a year-end close-out price and a military discount on top of that. Through the years (it is now Feb 2020), I've replaced the tires, the windshield, and repaired some minor body damage & a broken Left Hand rear side mirror (caused solely by me paying attention to the camera view and NOT the mirrors). Now, for the engine, transmission, AC, and everything under the hood, it has been FLAWLESS, I mean literally, ZERO repairs. BUT, I am a stickler for maintenance. I learned a lot in High School Shop and in the military. All scheduled maintenance / oil changes are is done ON TIME or AHEAD OF TIME by me, the dealer, or a trusted shop that uses B&G products. I did however, have to get replaced a rear-seat AC / radio control console because it had a short which cause the Right Rear Speakers to got on-and-off. The whole repair, because of looking for it and trial & error, cost $211.00 at my local Cavender Cadillac dealer in the SA area. It did take them almost two weeks, but the SUV is as good as new and runs like new still after 8 years. I replaced the original battery at 6 years at my local auto parts store and it has a 5 year warranty. My wife has a 2014 Buick Encore. It has had two engine repairs (faulty head gasket and a PCV), one full Infotainement / radio replacement, a replaced water pump, and on it's 3rd battery. (Wife's fault on that one). All of this was done under warranty - except 3rd battery. Now, lets hope all goes well for the next 6 years. Maintenance, Maintenance, Maintenance... I have many more lengthy vacation road trips planned for my family. I trust my GMC (maybe a little more than my Buick. Oh, I only buy my vehicles NEW. I never buy used because I do NOT know who maintained it, their driving habits, did they let their teen drive it (let's face it, I was a teen once and drove one way for my parents and entirely differently when I was with friends.) My neighbors have offered me good money for my cars because they see me do the tire rotations, oil changes, frequently wash & wax, etc. checking the tire pressures even on the spare on the underside, armor all, and YES, I even keep the engine virtually spotless just like the inside. YES, this car still looks like I drove off the lot - inside and out!! :-)
