Pros- The safety features are really nice, lane assist is my favorite for long drives. Cons- There is almost no trunk space at all with third row in use. I repeat, if you plan to use the third row you will only be able to fit a few bags of groceries in this thing. Our family also owns a 2014 Buick Enclave, which is a better vehicle even being 5 years older. More space, better ride, nicer interior etc. My last vehicle was a 2017 Ford Explorer. It beats the Acadia in every category I can think of. Since the Acadia is a company provided car, this review is without bias. Also, upon delivery my transmission sprung a leak and lost all its fluid stranding my wife and kids (it only had 20 miles on it). The dealership near me was an absolute nightmare to deal with.

I bought my Acadia as much for the active safety features as anything else. The Technology Package adds valuable accident prevention. My bonus is that it's comfortable to drive and ride in and large enough for four adults without being gigantic. I've now had the car six years with minimum maintenance cost and have no reason to change my initial impression. With the current cost of new ones, I will drive it until the wheels fall off. My opinion hasn't changed after six years of ownership.

I’ve had this car a little over a year and had to take it into the dealership at least 8 times for something or another! Top console was hanging off, passenger seat falling apart in the back, transmission has problems that are still not fixed! My husband always buys ford and never has all these problems on his USED vehicles..sad that mine is brand new and gmc has no remorse for what you go through! All I’ve asked was to extend my warranty since I was given a vehicle with so many issues, can’t even do that...I tell everyone to stay far away from Chevy/gmc!

After purchasing the vehicle new and going on a trip I noticed quite a bit of road noise in the vehicle. The Windows seemed to close tightly. When I examined the exterior I noticed that the front driver door protruding slightly more than the rear door. At first I thought it might be need to be adjusted, but then I noticed upon further examination that the door protruded out half way in the middle, from top to bottom, the top. The top and bottom of the the front and rear doors were flush. This is clearly a fabrication from the factory. Note, vehicle was purchased new, no accidents. I’m 71 years old, I have bought numerous new and used vehicles in my life and have never experienced this before. I is something I am going to have to live with until I trade it in. I’m very disappointed and will never purchase another GMC product.
This is a great car

My wife and I drove our 2018 GMC Acadia 6 cylinder right off the show room floor and drove 5 250 miles from Alaska to Pennsylvania we were on the road for 11 days and it was one of the sweetest rides we had. We were getting anywhere from 24 to 34 miles per gal and we drove the Alaska highway from Anchorage to Pennsylvania. some of the roads on the Alaskan highway were really tricky and going from 2 wheel to AWD was a breeze
