If you are a family person wanting the safest ride for your kids or grandkids as in my situation, this GMC Arcadia was the right choice. Except for a defective part installed at the factory, the car has been most reliable and dependable. While using the fold-down third-row seat, it was perfect for the long ride to Disneyland with the children using the optional Wi-Fi and their own air conditioner controls, made it a pleasure for the adults. There was still plenty of room for storage of the luggage and a snack cooler. A great AM-FM radio/CD sound system with aux input and satellite radio. Conveniently placed 12volt and USB connections. And the best safety feature of all is the built-in On_Star telephone/navigational system that gives me the great comfort my better half is never alone while out on the roadways.

GMC ACADIA IS A BUST

We owned one and the engine would reduce speed and even shut down while driving causing us to loose power of the vehicle. Thankfully we were on a residential street or the outcome could have been worse- the dealership did a fix that didn’t work- they tried something else but we didn’t trust the vehicle anymore and GM and the dealership didn’t want to do anything else to address the problems so we got rid of it ASAP. GMC Acadia is still a bust, they never made it right so we will not buy a Chevrolet or GMC vehicle again. Friends and family will not either...

The car has lots of road holding to the high way as you drive. Feels very safe as you drive and cars around you. Great wide windshield to see what is around you

Intellink and back seat made me hate this car.

Selling this car after only six months. Intellink is slow, gets stuck, lacks information and just plain doesn't work. Forget NAV, it'll take you to random places. Pandora and Stitcher are slow to load and will just drop/close randomly 100% of the time. Second row Captains chairs are comfy but waste a HUGE amount of space when packing the car. Does not work for dog owners; dogs fall in the hole and injure themselves.

Bought my 2016 Acadia SLE-1 AWD Certified July 2017 with 20,000 miles. First month of driving, noticed in the morning, when I pulled out, very sluggish. As the engine warmed up, once the temperature needle was halfway, then it would drive like a dream. Took it to service, said it was normal. Now it is winter, if I don't let it warmup for 10 minutes or until the temperature needle reaches halfway, the engine revs and the rpm goes over 2 when only going 20 miles. Very disappointing, doesn't seem normal to me. Otherwise I like the style, the space, the comfort. Do not like the fuel economy though. I wish I did my homework on this year and model. Originally went to the dealership for a 2017, did not like the new model after test driving. Same evening took this car for a test drive, liked the older model, wider and stronger. Did not know the drive train in the 2015 and the 2016 models were changed which causes the terrible fuel economy. Plus the tailgate is very heavy should have a liftgate button as a standard.
