2008 GMC Acadia Pros and Cons A member in Massachusetts, United States The 6 cylinder engine and transmission combination leave this 5000 lb. vehicle sometimes feeling a little sluggish. You have to mash the accelerator to force a down shift. It does respond, but it requires a little more effort than it should. |
