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.

  Still getting used to it - 2008 GMC Acadia
  By BONK - March 5 - 10:06 am

  2000 miles in 6 weeks. Vehicle runs great, and is quick. Reminds me of a Grand AM GT with the space of an SUV. Looking forward to many miles of enjoyment.

  2008 SLT2 AWD - 2008 GMC Acadia
  By Deuce - February 19 - 10:53 am

  I have had this vehicle for 3 weeks now and love it . It drives like a car. If you accelerate slow and study and try to keep it under 2000 rpms it will obtain the gas mileage as stated on the window sticker. GM has really hit the mark with this vehicle. Fun to drive.

  Service Stabilitrak/Service Traction - 2008 GMC Acadia
  By Stranded by GMC - February 16 - 12:56 pm

  I have owned my 2008 Acadia for going on 1 year. Since December 2007 we have had countless problems with the vehicle. the service stabilitrak and service traction control lights come on every 2 weeks or so. It is July now and this morning the light came on and my car shut off on the highway. The dealership never can figure out what is happening with the vehicle. It has put a "sour taste" in our mouths about the GMC brand. I had 3 young children in my car when this happened. It is in the shop again and hopefully it can be remedied.

  Great Vehicle - 2008 GMC Acadia
  By Rob F. - February 6 - 5:06 am

  We purchased our "barely used" 2008 Acadia 3 weeks ago. It had 9600 miles on it when we bought it and we have put cose to 1000 miles on it in the time we have had it. So far, we feel that this is an awesome vehicle. We have averaged right around 20 mpg in both city and hwy driving, and have experienced none of the transmission problems that so many reviews mention. This vehicle is definately an improvement over the 2002 Ford Windstar it replaces. The only gripe I have is the poor rear visability. A back up camera would be nice to have.

  Good but not great! - 2008 GMC Acadia
  By New Acadia Drive - January 27 - 6:10 am

  I love driving my new Acadia. I have no complaints about the ride, interior design, etc. I highly recommend it. The only downside is I am not getting the gas mileage I was told it should get. I am only getting 14 mpg. I took a trip with it and I expected to get 22-24 mpg but only got 18. There is a problem with the Acadia- if you park on an incline the computer gets confused on how much gas you actually have and your fuel gauge will show that you have less gas than you actually have. I was told that GMC is trying to fix it.

  Got a FWD SLT-2 fully loaded. I test drove all the CUVs out there and this was the vechicle that fit all my familys needs. Very roomy, my 3 year son cant kick the back of my chair like in my volvo XC90. Large cargo area in the back fits all the family gear. Never thought I would buy a GMC, but we love this car.

  Transmission Flash Does Wonders - 2008 GMC Acadia
  By Mike D - November 6 - 7:23 am

  To everyone mentioning the transmission, the 5/8/08 transmission flash is a must. You actually feel the 275hp of the engine and dont have to push the pedal down much. Its the way it should have been from the factory. Tons of room inside. I got the 2nd row captains chairs. Where can you get those outside of minivan? 3rd row better than most vehicles and has 60/40 which is great. Power liftgate and rear backing sensors are excellent. Stereo system (with XM) very nice. OnStar provides nice security. Stylish exterior and underrated style inside. Large tires and off-road capability. All-wheel drive is passive but there if needed. Dual sunroofs. The total package, IMHO.

  Acadia is more bang for your buck. - 2008 GMC Acadia
  By Scott G - November 6 - 2:46 am

  Originally wanted a Enclave, but we looked at the Acadia also. What an excellent vehicle. Drives like a dream and handles extremely well. A great vehicle and a great savings over the Enclave.

  Awesome! - 2008 GMC Acadia
  By Jim - October 11 - 3:06 am

  We looked at all the current cross-overs, in the end this is the largest and in terms of efficiency, same or better as the rest. In comparison to imports, it runs on regular which is a huge plus, fuel econ better than MDX & X5. Versitility is tops; 2nd row captains and 3rd row bench easily accomodate adults and any kind of gear you want to store. Switched from smaller car, still adjusting to size. On the road, feel as big or bigger than minivans, but not as large as full size SUVs and some mid size SUVs. Getting 19.5 overall with a mix of 60% highway and 40% city. Driving close to posted limit, long highway trips getting 21, hope to improve once the AC goes off this fall.

  2008 Acadia Rocks - 2008 GMC Acadia
  By West Chester, OH - September 9 - 8:23 pm

  Got one of the first 2008 Acadias and we love it! Replaced a Chrysler Town & Country. GM has done an excellent job with this vehicle, it continues to exceed our expectations. One minor problem with the power driver seat motor, but I wont take it back till its time for the first oil change. Our gas mileage started out low - near 14 MPG but increased to near 18 MPG after 2500 miles. We have the AWD version. The heads-up display, nav and back-up camera work extremely well together. The sound system is also great. Only other wish was for bluetooth, but Ill add some aftermarket version - the rest of the vehicle is awesome, maybe the best vehicle weve ever owned.
