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.

  2008 GMC Acadia AWD - 2008 GMC Acadia
  By plugs01 - January 3 - 11:45 am

  We searched reviews before we bought and saw a number of negative reviews. I believe most people are more inspired to write a review if they have a negative experience. Weve owned ours for almost two years. Very pleased. We get about 21 mph when driving combined city/hwy. The manual instructs to use higher octane fuel, but we use 85 regular unlead since we are at high elevations -mechanic recommended. We bought a prebuy inspection by our shop. Only problems we have had: sunroof leaked once after sitting in heavy rain, but never while driving. Hasnt done it since. Also drivers seat fails to move about once every 3 months - we get it to move after playing with it...need to fix though

  Happy Acadia Owner - 2008 GMC Acadia
  By Orlando Resident - August 29 - 10:25 am

  Im surprised at the problems others have experienced. We have had our Acadia for 2 years and 36,000 miles with no problems (fingers crossed). I love everything about the vehicle to include the look, feel, handling, interior room and features. We have taken 3 trips to the midwest and will soon take our 4th trip. The ride is comfortable and the kids love it! We have a 2 and 4 year old so we bought the model with captain chairs so that we can access the back seat easily. On occasion we have 6 passengers in the car, 4 adults/2 children, and have no complaints. We bought the vehcile for these reasons and because of its safety rating. If reliability isnt a future issue we will buy another.

  Great Choice - 2008 GMC Acadia
  By JimM - August 7 - 6:21 pm

  We have had our Acadia for just over 2 year and have enjoyed it. Get as much as 26 MPG if I drive at speed limit and at my normal 75 get 22. Very comfortable on road, DVD, sun roofs, navigation are all well used. Recommend the Acadia

  Would Buy Another One - 2008 GMC Acadia
  By Naples - June 22 - 7:20 pm

  Could not be happier. Bought 2 years ago and four trips to Florida each year - 4,800 miles a year. Fabulous road car - very comfortable ride, plenty of interior space and feel very safe. Somewhat sluggish when pulling away from dead stop but just give it more gas. Absolutely no mechanical problems in two years - great quality.

  Great Car - 2008 GMC Acadia
  By DA - January 22 - 8:12 pm

  Best car I have ever had and I have had a lot of them. Had the car for 2 years, 41K on it. Never had a problem, never been in the dealership other than an oil change. Started making a whining noise it was just a little low on power steering fluid which was easy to fill. We love our Acadia.

  Acadia a great car - 2008 GMC Acadia
  By kingadrock - October 22 - 7:49 pm

  This is a really great car in the crossover market. Owned it now for a year with no problems. Its like getting mini van comfort and size with SUV styling and performance. Perfect for our family of four with two little ones and our heaps of stuff we seem to need to take everywhere.

  Works Great for Us. - 2008 GMC Acadia
  By bgfred - September 3 - 5:39 pm

  We have now driven our 2008 Acadia more than 30,000 miles. This is by far the best road-trip vehicle weve ever owned, and we have been delighted with its performance and comfort under a wide variety of conditions. Labors a bit with heavy trailers, but handles very well when towing. No repair issues aside from transmission reprogramming to improve shifting responsiveness, which resolved issue. Gas mileage had been pretty good for vehicle of this size, but is VERY sensitive to driving style (highway range from 11mpg towing heavy trailer to 23mpg with moderate load/high speed). Find controls and switches to be laid out very intuitively, seats flip/fold very easily. Would buy again.

  Best Cross-Over Out - 2008 GMC Acadia
  By Robert - September 3 - 11:56 am

  The new GMC Acadia is absolutely the best new crossover out there right now. Whichever trim level you decide you will not be disappointed. I have been looking to by a new vehicle for 6 months and at first i thought the price range was just too much. But after comparing the features and standards to other similar vehicles i kept coming back to the acadia. I thought about buying the honda pilot, but after test driving them both i purchased the Acadia. No regrets here.
