I love my new 2016 Acadia SLT-1 with options

The ride is very smooth, quiet ride and I wouldn't have one of these without all the safety feature added to it. This vehicle feels very large when driving it and I don't always park it correctly unless I get out and see if I am in the lines. I am getting better at it since I have had it for 2 months now. I drive half city and half highway to work and back and get average of 20 mpg. That is a fair amount mpg for such a large vehicle. I did purchase one with all the bells and whistles to alert me 360 degrees around the car for safety hazards. I love these features since there are blind spots and the features help provide a second pair of eyes around me when I am driving. This car fits nicely in my garage also! The materials and interior gauges, etc are excellent and should hold up for the duration that I will own this car. My only remarks on the cons, probably wouldn't have covered the rear view vanity mirrors with cloth and the captains seat belts in the second row is inward too much,,,,,,pushes on my hip when the seat belt is locked in.

This has been an excellent vehicle in nearly every respect. Comfortable and quiet, very good acceleration and handling for a car of this size. Can’t say I loved the infotainment system...like nearly everyone else, GMC overcomplicates this and makes it less useful in the process.

Don't buy a GMC Acadia

After 25 years of buying and driving non-american cars, I decided to give the US a try. I bought a 2016 GMC Acadia SLT. Loved the middle aisle to the 3rd row, leather seats, drove very smooth. The past 2 years major items started to fail. The first major issue was the power steering pump failed - a $500. Then both front and rear AC failed due to leaks - $4000. Now the transmission is starting to slip. NEVER AGAIN BUY US CAR. They are just not ready yet.

This is my third one and I still like it quite a bit. I downsized from a Chevy Suburban since my kids were grown. This is a great size.

New Car But Costly Repairs

For some reason, GMC autos have a problem with headlamps going out. These are not covered by warranty and are very expensive to replace. A few months ago I had to replace one headlamp at a cost of $357. Last week the passenger side headlamp assembly went out and the cost was $1,621! How GMC can build a car with headlamps that expensive to replace is a mystery and does not speak highly of the quality or design of their product. The car is comfortable on the inside; driver and passenger seating is comfortable. The car handles adequately for a front wheel drive car but is very underpowered. More maintenace problems. $2,000 to fix a seal problem and the GMC mechanic advised that additional repairs will be needed in the future at a probable cost of $5,000! Decided to trade in the auto.
