2012 GMC Acadia Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
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
2011	4dr SUV 288-horsepower 3.6L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD	we travel with adults not children and find the 2nd row very comfortable. see full GMC Acadia review
