Great ridding car. Floats down the highway but you can feel its a very heavy car. Front brakes wore out at 27000 and the electrical system is failing. dealer says it will be many months to get the parts do to a high demand. dealer said the problems are caused by the road salt. well ya. we use road salt in the north east, nothing new. Why not make the car so salt is not a problem. getting rid of it as soon as the parts arrive and buying a Toyota. The factory gave us a two year extension on the warranty covering the chronic electrical problem. As in the previous years the warning module broke again and it was replaced under the extended warranty. that was the last time GM said they will fix for free and they fully admit they have done nothing to correct the problem. Cost $1000.00 to replace the module.

Compared this car to several others, including the Audi Q7, and found it to be remarkably similar but for almost $20K less. The slight increase in power is noticeable as is the decrease in outside noise (better dampening). The electronic improvements sell the car all by themselves, especially if you use Apple products. The smaller cargo space is obvious but liveable. It feels sportier than prior year's models - tighter and more nimble - without any loss in comfort. Overall, a good choice for anyone not wanting to spend a fortune but still wanting a quality vehicle.

Shift to park issue at 12,000 miles. Dealer fixed with a jumper harness. Now car has 22,000 miles and is 11 days out of the 3 year warranty and am having the same shift to park issue again. Smail GMC said the entire shifter assembly needs replaced because the jumper harness didn’t fix it. Cost is $620. GM is refusing to pay. No more GM products.
Terrific vehicle - love it

I tend to keep my vehicles a while - this replaced a 2007 Pontiac Torrent which at ten years old was still a good vehicle - not flashy or large but dependable. I wanted to upgrade now to something a bit larger and more comfortable. The only thing the same is the color - red. My new ACADIA Denali is a great choice. It handles like a dream (I test drove an equivalent vehicle of another make - that experience was like driving a bathtub full of water). The ACADIA's acceleration is good. It's cornering is superb - considering its size, it is surprising. Braking is great. Front seat comfort is great (heated and air cooled), 2nd row is good (heated), 3rd row is ok for short runs - we'll probably never use it as a seat. I think the overall size of the 2017 is perfect for us - the larger size of the 2016 would have been too big. It has ample room for our two very large dogs AND luggage. The technology took about 3 minutes to set up so I was comfortable driving home but honestly, most will need at least a few hours with the user manual to utilize all of it. There is a lot there. It is totally keyless - you need the dongle but never have to take it out of your pocket or push any of the buttons on it. If you lock your dongle in the car (hard but could be done) you can unlock it with your smartphone, or for a plan C, call onStar to unlock it for you. I've only had it a few months and have gotten 18.6 mpg on what has been 90% city driving. As you can tell, I am as excited about this as I was when I got my 2000 Pontiac Bonneville SSEi (turbo) which I still have and which runs as if it were new even though it has 100,000 miles on it. The dogs like the new one a lot better. For trips, because of the roominess, comfort and technology, I do too. For the record, I tried other comparable vehicles and they all felt as if something was missing. If I change my mind, I will update my review but don't hold your breath waiting for it. The combined mileage shown below are for some short trips that included a bit more highway. Update after a few months - no change. Still love the vehicle

2017 Acadia (including Denali trim) is not available with directional signal lights in the exterior mirrors--nearly all other vehicles offer that. Limited color choice in Denali trim, most are extra cost. Six-speed automatic when industry trend is to eight and nine speeds. Front seats could use a thigh extender, a feature found on the Toyota Highlander. Premium radio only comes with eight speakers--competition offers more. Many folks still have their CDs; why not offer an optional CD player, as some competitors do?
