I've owned numerous new cars in my life, across a span of automakers. I've owned Chevrolet, Ford, Chrysler, Dodge, VW and GMC. I have never--and I repeat NEVER--owned such a pronounced example of garbage workmanship. This vehicle's fit and finish are so inadequate that I will never again purchase another product made by General Motors. Unless you're paying $10,000 for a brand new one, you're better buying anything else. My complaint? The vehicle seemed great upon test driving. Now that I've owned the vehicle for six months and it has 5,000 miles on it, it is literally sounding like it is falling apart. The windows/doors on this vehicle are designed so poorly that the front windows, in particular, CREAK and GROAN LOUDLY around every turn. I kid you not--turn at 15 miles per hour on smooth pavement and both front windows will groan louder than the radio for the entire turn. Any bumps? You'll think you're in a 1976 truck with 475,000 miles. When I pull up my driveway, which is uphill, I mean the sound is incredulous. You wouldn't believe it unless you rode in my "professional grade" piece of trash. It honestly sounds like a mechanical arm is in the process of ripping off the closed, locked door. Prior to this I owned a newer model Durango and while not perfect, the fit and finish were so far outside of this vehicle's wheelhouse that you'd think the Dodge was handcrafted by Ferrari. I typically keep vehicles 3 years, as I'm then in an equity position and don't like driving a vehicle that is aging. I can't even fathom keeping this rolling pile of garbage to the one year mark. The structure rigidity and frame integrity would be bested by a ten year old convertible. Please spare yourself the regret and financial loss incurred by purchasing something of this poor quality. I would have been better off burning the nearly 40Gs in Vegas on nothing.

Outstanding ride & fuel economy. Will also be pulling the Acadia behind our motor home. Can tow 4 wheels down. Acceleration from a stop is a little slow but punch it at any speed & it has great getup & go. GM had several rebates so we were able to purchase the 2018 for very little more than a used 2017. 12-5-2020 update - still an excellent vehicle. No problems at 30,000 miles. 12-7-2023 update - traded the Acadia for a 2022 Chevrolet Traverse. No problems with the Acadia after 39,000 miles, just wanted a larger SUV.

This SUV is packed with all the new electronic safety features and accessories. The top-down camera view is really amazing. The interior is very roomy and nicely equipped. Being a little shorter ( I think about 12 inches) than its siblings Enclave and Traverse makes it fit into my garage with out a problem. I had considered both but the overall length was the deciding feature for me .
