Too Heavy for snow/ice safety and bad shifting A member from Minnesota, United States Best Reason to Buy the GMC Acadia: Exterior styling Car still looks like an SUV. Looks sporty. Has been copied by many car companies. Best Reason Not to Buy the GMC Acadia: Powertrain performance The vehicle has power and so far is very reliable. However, the transmission shifting seems to be tuned to improve gas mileage. That makes this vehicle very un-responsive when you want it to be responsive. When entering a freeway, when passing cars, or when driving agressively. Instead of shifting smoothly, you have to press the gas more and then it downshifts two or three gears, wasting more gas than is necessary. They screwed up on the tuning of this car. Other Reasons to Buy the GMC Acadia: Feature availability, Rear seat room & comfort, Safety & braking Other Reasons Not to Buy the GMC Acadia: Driving position & visibility, Safety & braking, Front seat support & comfort This member owns or leases the reviewed vehicle. read full review |

A member from Georgia, United States Best Reason to Buy the GMC Acadia: Fuel economy I purchased this vehicle in April of 2012,new with less than 25 miles showing. My wife drives this car to work each day, round trip is approx 30 miles. She is averaging 17 mpg, but on trips I drive and can average 22-23 mpg. I usually cruise the interstate at 70-80 mph. and I do use the cruise control. The mpg will vary but I have seen a high of 25 and a low of 21. Overall very pleased with the ride and comfort, when traveling there are usually 3 adults and luggage.

A member from Ontario, Canada Best Reason to Buy the GMC Acadia: Exterior styling I find the Acadia is perfect blend of a SUV that looks like a truck but has a utility of a minivan and capabilities of a truck. Best Reason Not to Buy the GMC Acadia: Feature availability Something as basic as the current fuel economy is not displayed on an SLE, you have to go to a SLT to get that feature. In my opinion this should be a standard on all vehicles. Heated seats should also be standard as they are on even compact cars. Other Reasons to Buy the GMC Acadia: Cargo capacity & towing, Discounts & incentives, Rear seat room & comfort Other Reasons Not to Buy the GMC Acadia: Audio & nav systems, Materials & workmanship, Warranty, scheduled maintenance cost This member owns or leases the reviewed vehicle. read full review |

A member from Ontario, Canada Best Reason to Buy the GMC Acadia: Interior styling one of only a few vehicles that seat 8. Very comfortable, lots of adult leg room and well thought out. rear seats both fold flat for cargo. Best Reason Not to Buy the GMC Acadia: Dealership practices Had terrible dealership experiences with several GM dealers. Most would not seriously discuss bottom line price/payments. Finally found a dealership that not only explained options, but gave detailed, printed information!

A member from Connecticut, United States Best Reason Not to Buy the GMC Acadia: Fuel economy Even with conservative driving over long distance, was not able to get close to EPA MPG. In order to get those numbers I have to depart too far from my normal driving habits - wont happen easily, no fun. Especially when the Acadia is so willing to sprint.
