Refresh Done Well

We previously drove a Buick Enclave for 5 years, so we knew what to expect with the Lambda platform which is shared between the Chevy Traverse, GMC Acadia and Buick Enclave. The refresh has given this CUV what we consider a more truck like presence which appeals to both the male and female driver in our family. Fit and finish is what one would expect from GM with improvements made to the transmission in the Acadia (no more searching for gears up hills), less flashy wheel offerings and, better integrated telematics (bluetooth, nav, DVD). Overall one of the best values for the content and quality that GM now offers in this segment.

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 love our 2013 Acadia Denali!

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!

In Love with my 2013 Denali

We are a family of 7, We wanted a SUV that would accommodate our family size but also be comfortable for our children while on a long drive. Needless to say, we came across the GMC Acadia, we liked the space, style and look it had but we needed something more kid friendly.. that's when we starting looking into the Acadia Denali, instantly we fell in LOVE! It was perfect not only stunning but also spacious with everything we wanted, DVD, Captain Seats, Double Sun/Moon Roofs, GPS etc, everything we could ever want, we found it in this Denali. We were even lucky enough to find it in the Pearl White color we imagined it. Its absolutely BEAUTIFUL, STUNNING AND CLASSY, its ELEGANT and GRACEFUL.. We are totally MESMERIZED by it.. Best SUV choice we could of ever made.

Steering and rear tail door

Turn the wheel all the way to either side and it clunks, they say it's normal. It scared the heck out of me first time. This is not normal. I'm sure there'll be a recall in the future, there should be. Beware til they fix this problem, if they fix it. Metal to metal coming from rear hatch area when I go over bumps. Four days they've been trying to figure that one out, they still have it. I wouldn't recommend it at this time. I should have stuck with my Yukon. 2013 has not been a good year for the Acadia, looks good but looks ain't everything.
