Great Vehicle
The ergonomics are great. It's a very comfortable ride. We are average sized people, and we have plenty of room. The safety features are helpful, and I recommend them. The touch screen controls are augmented by traditional buttons, which are all easy to use. Handling is very good. I thoroughly enjoy driving this SUV.

Love most things about it.
I've had my Acadia for about 1.5 years. It's a very smooth riding car and a perfect fit for my family. It has pretty much all the bells and whistles (except a few things listed below that I would expect in the top trim). I've had a few things go wrong. The transmission valve bodies had to be replaced at about 15,500 miles due to a shudder I noticed as I accelerated. Also, the drivers mirror had to be replaed as it was stuck in the tipped down position after going in reverse and then back into drive. Luckily, all that was covered under warranty. There are a few things I scratch my head about though. For example, there are no seat belt adjusters available. For someone who is only 5'4" I don't have any option to adjust the seatbelt and it cuts me across the neck. Yes, I can raise the seat but that's still not ideal for me. Also, manual folding mirrors only and no blinker in the mirrors. Really? For the top trim, I'm disappointed that these features aren't standard or even available. Those seem to be features you find in even base models on some cars/SUV's. I have about 18,200 on it now and the verdict is out on how long I'll keep it.

Small SUV
I have leased the 2013 Acadia Denali and the 2016. I just leased the 2019 last week and it’s the biggest mistake I ever made! I jumped into so fast not realizing all the simple things they took away that I enjoyed so much. The front seatbelts used to be able to adjust to your size so it didn’t cross over your neck... now I deal with constantly pulling the seatbelt off my neck! The outside mirrors are no longer power, now you have to manually fold in. The knobs on dash are very cheap looking compared to my past Acadia’s. I have to agree with another review on here about the roof is so much lower that it feels like you’re driving a car. The drivers seat definitely is not what it used to be... it is now uncomfortable and much more narrow. I knew the vehicle shrunk in size but what a difference! There are also no more crossbars on top of roof. They also took away the directional signals on outside mirrors! The interior has no storage space, a very small middle console. I’m paying a lot more money for a lot less. I can’t believe I have 3 years in this! The one positive is it does drive decently.

Tight Fit
I have owned 3 previous Acadia’s, I was not aware of how much they had cut the size of the vehicle, it is almost a small size SUV, Also my drivers seat is very uncomfortable, it does not have near as much movement as my previous Acadias. I am sorry I bought it and I am trying to trade it.

Great SUV - CAN'T FIGURE OUT SEATING
I know it sounds weird, it isn't easy to figure out how many adults/teens this car seats. The second row bench has space for 3 passengers. The middle seat doesn't have a normal headrest -- it doesn't raise up. Is it safe for an adult or teen to sit there? It should not be this complicated.
