Overview & Reviews

For the 2008 GMC Acadia, eight-passenger seating and satellite radio become standard on the base SLE-1 model, while a rearview camera and a second-row console become available on upper trim levels.

• Plenty of passenger and cargo space, smooth ride, above-average tow capacity for a crossover.

• Some subpar interior trim, transmission can be slow to downshift.

  I hate this SUV! - 2008 GMC Acadia
  By hsand54 - December 7 - 11:09 am

  In the less than a year that we have had our Acadia it has been in the shop 4-5 times! Its obvious that it was very poorly built. The drivers seat broke the 1st week, the wipers broke mid rain storm, the service airbag light, engine light, and oil light have all been on and had to be serviced. And there was a recall that had to be fixed! After all of this I finally get my vehicle back and hit a deer, which did $5500 worth of damage to the front end yet the air bag never went off and on-star never came on! The way it shifts is awful, the noise & vibrations when the windows are down is horrible and I am so sick of this vehicle. Now my tire pressure light is on- it is always something!

  Better vs Pilot or Highlander - 2008 GMC Acadia
  By JONATAN - November 24 - 1:46 am

  I had Pilot and Highlander, but when I bought Acadia I sold Highlander. Acadia is the best among them ride comfort, precise at speed driving, tech data like wheel base or 6spd auto or standard luxury like heated mirrors and wash liquid, auto hiding mirrors etc.

  Acadia 08 SLT 2WD - 2008 GMC Acadia
  By M08 - November 22 - 2:05 am

  I love this vehicle. Everything is great about it. The look, the handling, the quitness at 0ver 80 mph (be creative), the options, etc.. But there still some small thing I wan to comment on. For a 40k car there is so much plastic inside. You expect it to be more luxurious but its not. Have bluetooth, for Gods sake we are in the 21 century. Premium sound system is so not premium, bearly giving sound. Guess they forgot to install the amp. The gas mileage is not so bad as long as you are babysitting it, but if you dare to push that pedal you will truly see the gas gauge is going down in front of your eyes, but that should be expected with a huge car like this. After all I still love this car

  Junk so far - 2008 GMC Acadia
  By Rodney - November 20 - 11:16 pm

  We purchased our Acadia new with 5 miles on it. The problems began 1week later by having to have a new engine put in it! then the battery went dead a few months later and the OnStar didnt work to call for help. The traction control quit working and had to be fixed, then the cruise control quit working, then the battery went dead again while driving at night so we had no dash lights and not much of anything was working, so after 5 times of being in the shop lets hope its all fixed, we should have a new car by now with all those new parts,oh wait, we did buy a new car. Comfortable ride when it runs, NAV doesnt work right, OnStar works sometimes, love it when everything works! Gimme a new one

  Great Touring Car - 2008 GMC Acadia
  By Norman - November 13 - 2:43 pm

  Took delivery and left a week later on a 12 day 3100 mile trip from Northern New England to Florida. Drove through rain, sun, wind, snow and ice and the Acadia performed perfectly. It handles and rides wonderfully, and averaged 19.8 mpg. Just retired and plan to do a lot of traveling. Looked at SUVs, minivans and crossovers and liked the room, comfort and features of the Acadia best.

  Nice car but misleading on gas MPG - 2008 GMC Acadia
  By Dave C. - November 3 - 8:20 pm

  Here is the review after 3 months of ownership and 3000 miles. The review is based on the maxed out SLT2 AWD (w/Nav & DVD). Overall the car is great. Nice ride, great seating, and seems sure footed on the road. Two complaints: Fuel economy - Dont believe the hype! We do City/Hwy driving. Avg mpg is 12 city, 16 hwy. To me, thats terrible for a V6 and compared to what GMC boasts of 20/22. The other complaint is the nav & backup camera has failed on a few separate occasions. Went back to the dealer and they will replace it. To sum it up, the Acadia is a nice car, good overall build and quality, layout. But misleading on the gas mileage.

  Great family car - 2008 GMC Acadia
  By Jules - October 11 - 9:10 pm

  I have 3 kids and this car works perfectly. Has the second row captains chairs and an aisle to get back to third row. Fair amount of storage if third row partially collapsed. Fun to drive, much cooler than a minivan. Love having XM radio and OnStar.

  Acadia Review - 2008 GMC Acadia
  By Vinny - October 11 - 1:00 am

  Great crossover. GM hit this one on the button. Excellent car, lots of room, very comfortable. More room than the Toyota Highlander I had. Very smooth ride.

  Love My Acadia - 2008 GMC Acadia
  By bill3 - September 26 - 11:50 am

  This is by far the best vehicle I have ever driven. I have always driven SUVs, but this crossover provides the best of both worlds. The ride is superb, and the interior has so much room and great features. We looked at just about every suv and crossover w/ 7 passenger seating. Nothing came even close! I was nervous buying a vehicle that was such a new model, but all of the reviews I read were very accurate. This vehicle is one that actually lives up to and even exceeds the hype.

  Love it! But look out for insurance rate - 2008 GMC Acadia
  By Heather - September 24 - 6:10 pm

  Weve had our Acadia about 9 months and dearly love it. Gas mileage is about the same or slightly better than our supercharged Buick Regal. Love the extra space, Love the extra features, love everything! I would buy this again, for sure. For convenience, mileage for its size (although they need an E85 or hybrid option), features, pure styling (looks so beautiful!) and performance it gets a gold star.
