I had 2016 Acadia and absolutely loved it. Without doing too much research, I decided to go with another Acadia without realizing how much it has changed. Talking about change - I almost fell out of my chair when I saw it! It is definitely not a full size SUV and should not be classified as one. It is much more comparable to a crossover SUV that I had years ago! Getting a new Acadia was JUST because it was so roomy, smooth and spacious. 2019 version is NOTHING like this anymore: it is narrow, not smooth anymore, loud and does not have any horse power. Getting up the hill is awful.They just destroyed this great old model with very unimproved 'improved' version .

The SUV is built very small no room for groceries or people. Car has to many safety features the seats vibrate, sounds and lights all at the same time it's a bit distracting and over whelming. The car I rented has 1200 miles on it and at a idle the whole car shakes. When you take off at a light the car shifts loudly can quickly. The cabin of the car is built low so you feel like your driving a car when you look out the windshield your looking almost level with the hood. It has thick window trim making horrible blind spots. The only thing I liked about this car was the the comfort and heating of the drivers seat and the clarity of the backup camera. If this car was givin to me I would sell it rather then keep it!

From good to dead

My 2019 GMC Acadia started out wonderful! It began having shift issues when I would shift to park and I would get an error message asking me to shift to park. A few months later a steering error showed on the screen and followed with a loss of a/c. From there the car started sputtering and the just died. I have had about 10 parts replaced and no luck. I’m simply devastated.

2019 Acadia......who says luxury isn't affordable?

We originally leased our 2019 Acadia. When the lease was up we loved it so much we decided to purchase it! The AWD is fantastic in the winter and being able to seat 7 is a big plus when taking a group to an event. We've taken it on a few long trips and got great gas mileage for the vehicles size. It has a nice, comfortable ride that makes longer trips more enjoyable. All the controls are well placed and easy to navigate. I would pick this over a mini-van any day (I've had both). The vehicle size is perfect and provides great visibility while driving. I feel this is a very safe vehicle and provides ample protection with airbags and its overall size. We have put over 60000 miles on this vehicle and have not needed any repairs. We have done regular maintenance with oil changes, filters, tires but that's it. Thinking about getting a new battery before winter get's too much worse (just to be safe). One of the best vehicles we have ever purchased. Would recommend and would purchase again.

I love the styling, the ride, the storage, the peppy 6 cylinder engine, the quality leather seats, the storage and pulling ability....and just everything! I have a 2019 SLT-1 and that is so well equipped. It's beautiful and is the perfect size for me...not too big, not too small, Goldilocks says it's "just right!" UPDATE: Yes still love it. No problems, great running vehicle, paint still looks beautiful, everything works perfect. I am very happy with the perfect car for me!!
