2009 GMC Acadia Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2010	4dr SUV 288-horsepower 3.6L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD	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
2009	4dr SUV 288-horsepower 3.6L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD	Lots of head room for tall folks. Comfortable seats. Lots of knee room. see full GMC Acadia review
2009	4dr SUV 288-horsepower 3.6L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD	Power seats have versatile adjustments. Thigh support is better than some compact SUVs that I compared. Tilt and telescoping steering wheel is flexible for driving position. see full GMC Acadia review
2008	4dr SUV 275-horsepower 3.6L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD	Best 3rd row leg room in its class. Smart slide seats provide easy access to 3rd row see full GMC Acadia review

2008	4dr SUV 275-horsepower 3.6L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD	There are very few SUVs that can seat 7 VERY comfortably that are not HUGE suburban type SUVs. We are very pleased that the 3rd row can truly seat 3 adults with no issues. I love that I can still load it up at Costco by folding the 3rd seat down! see full GMC Acadia review
2008	4dr SUV 275-horsepower 3.6L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD	Love how comfy it is-- heated seats, (though I would have loved the 2009 A/C seats on my 2008-- boo hoo!), all the controls-- love the music controls on the steering wheel. see full GMC Acadia review

Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2008	4dr SUV 275-horsepower 3.6L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD	Have taken this car on long trips, 14 hours of driving, multiple days in a row. The front seats are ok but not very comfortable. It's even tiring for the passenger. see full GMC Acadia review
