Total comfort in a classy looking SUV! Though the Denali is on the high end of the price tag, it makes up for it in style, comfort, and beauty. The options in the open road package make it worth the money if you enjoy all the technology upgrades as well as the extra comfort perks. Update: Still in love! Absolutely no complaints a year later. Total comfort in awesome style! Over 18,000 miles & still riding like it just rolled out of the showroom.

If you have and like an Acadia with Denali trim, this is a face lifted model with a few improvements. Better daytime LED lights, joystick adjustable steering column, usb charging ports, Lane shift and "approaching too fast" alerts are biggest noticeable changes. Slightly more rounded at corners with more trim under front and rear bumpers. Same engine, towing, etc. But - Don't wait for 2017 models if you like this model. 700lbs lighter, shorter wheelbase, 1200lbs LESS towing capacity...it will be an Acadia in name only. Gotta love the GM "Braintrust". Kill the Trailblazer...kill the Acadia....kill the Envoy....and give us vehicles that will ride worse, have less interior room, and tow small fishing boats....and PAY THE SAME!

My wife’s pampered, 4.5 year old, short daily commute Acadia had the transmission go at 26,000 miles (not 126,000). Thank god I got an extended warranty or I’d be out 6 grand.

At 53850 miles the A/C compressor locked up melting the serpentine belt over the pulleys causing 2500 worth of damage (and no warranty to cover). Seeing this same issue on other sites so be aware.

I liked the car a lot. I wish the navigation was not so slow. It needs either more ram in the computer. Adding way points is very awkward as well. I found the Ford sync to be much faster and easier to use. I like viability. No blind spots. I like the large back window compared to the Buick Enclave. I don't seeing myself keeping the car long solely because of the navigation hesitation. I wish the car was a little easier to get in and out of
