Performance- Good speed, excellent road grip and ABS, intelligent handling with variable power stairing. Build quality- excellent material and design is awsome Cost of Ownership- midium range with excellent fuel efficiency and oil change ratio Fun Factor - real fun to drive

This vehicle replaces our Suburban. Not as big inside or out, but handles better, rides better, gets better gas mileage, and still hauls 8 people (if needed). Seats fold down easily for extra cargo and back back seat easily accessible because the middle seats fold up and out of the way. Many creature comforts like heated seats and tri-zone temperature control.

Overall, it's a nice vehicle if you need an 8 passenger vehicle. Has flexible seating and handles well even when fully loaded. My wife likes the power lumbar support for the passenger front seat. Usually, you only get that on premium level vehicles. Heavier on gas than I thought it would be but it can go over 400 miles between fill-ups on the highway.

This is one smooth ride. With an ample interior and tons of features, we are going to drive everywhere this summer. Owning a car in Manhattan is not easy, but driving this baby is pure pleasure. If you have a family and need a good ride, don't go any further.

If you want a all wheel drive car filled with utility that is mildly underpowered that works great for 60,000 miles than the GMC Acadia is for you. The ride is comfortable and quiet, and handling is exceptional for such a large vehicle. BUT, this car is criminally unreliable. The transmission just died (wave plates were made of too soft of a material), the oil pan leaks because it has been sealed with glue (no bolts)-- no joke. And finally, the engine warning system caution lights just started doing very strange things. Each trip to the dealer cost $2000-$4000. The last drive was to CarMax and I'm now free of wondering whether my family will safely get to where they are headed. We finally gave up on a vehicle that looks to be in pristine condition, suited our family needs well yet has the reliability of a... well I guess GMC. Lesson learned for us to offer up to you, do not buy GMC. Hurts to write that, but the good news is that Toyota sells reliable cars that are now made in America.
