I drive about a 1000 miles a week. After driving the Suburban for 2 months, my back problems have gone away. Feel fresh after a 3 hour drive see full Chevrolet Tahoe / Suburban review |

Rear seat leg room cramped. Aparently moved forward to make room for 3rd row seating. 2nd row seats should be adjustable front to back. see full Chevrolet Tahoe / Suburban review |

2012 | 4dr SUV 288-horsepower 3.6L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
The third room has enough head room to even fit an adult comfortably and is wide enough to accommodate three individuals. It is one of the few SUV's that offer 8 seat capacity and has a larger interior capacity than a Tahoe. see full GMC Acadia review |

Better 2nd & 3rd row comfort than the Honda Minivan (this is to be a daily driver for a family with 4 kids under 10) see full GMC Acadia review |
