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.

  The car handles well on the edges, and you can feel the sporty ride on the highway and the braking system is actually great. The car has a very attractive exterior and my brick red interior with the entertainment system, navigation, dvd, rear camera and many other options and luxury makes driving this crossover far better than any other.

  Happy Customer - 2008 GMC Acadia
  By Ted Hornaday - April 24 - 10:40 pm

  Very pleased with our Acadia. Upgraded from VolvoXC70. Looks great (summit white) and a real pleasure to drive. Bigger, better layout and way more interesting than CX9, Highlander or Pilot. They really got the suspension right on this vehicle and steering is light and handling is crisp. Good balance of power, not minivan like and not a big V8 SUV nor does it cost as much as one. Integrated entertainment package w/wireless headphones sans NAV system is sweet. Back seat and front seat can finally listen to what they want (XM, MP3, DVD, etc.). Transmission/Power gripes in other reviews are overblown. Six speeds are going to shift more. Works fine for us.

  Like my car - 2008 GMC Acadia
  By kMac - March 5 - 10:43 am

  I traded in my Excursion that I loved for this car. While its not a truck I sure like the car so far. Tons of room and a really smooth ride. Fuel mileage is getting better the more I drive the car. I am very pleased with my purchase.

  Towing - 2008 GMC Acadia
  By mike tornichia - March 1 - 9:13 am

  Just drove to FL from NJ towing 2 jet skis. Mileage suffered but not a problem with acceleration and handling. Two guests that drove the car are selling their SUV and Caravan to buy one. Comfort was excellent and the interior space was great. I would highly recommend this car. The total mileage on this trip, towing and not was 5400 miles and not a problem. I would recommend larger mirrors for towing.

  Love it so far - 2008 GMC Acadia
  By don henrichsen - January 19 - 7:20 am

  So far I have nothing but good things to say about my new Acadia. Outstanding comfort and features. Fuel mileage great for a car its size. Love the heads up display, the sports car feel of the leather seats, the center row storage and movable arm rest, remote start and power lift gate. The only slight negative would be that the stereo sound isnt all that great. I have the ten speaker set up and though not bad it isnt as good as I would have hoped. Only time will tell on reliability.

  Just got it - 2008 GMC Acadia
  By colorado grandparent - January 1 - 6:16 pm

  We just completed our first 250 mile trip. I cannot find a thing to complain about and lots to compliment. We traded in our 02 Envoy with 80,000 miles. The Acadia is much quieter on the highway -about the same gas mileage (22 hwy). We have grandkids visiting and the 7 passenger seating is ideal - the back seat is comfortable. My grandaughter pointed out there is even a 120v outlet in the back seat for laptops and dvd etc. We are very pleased thus far.

  1 week and love it! - 2008 GMC Acadia
  By Jdadams21 - November 12 - 12:13 pm

  Just purchased and love it! Comfort for our family of 5. Beats the heck out of a minivan! Loaded with features. DVD controls and wireless headsets a huge benefit for parents! Ride is great. Does need some transmission fine tuning from GMC. Super quiet drive. Remote start is fantastic. Looks superb!

  I Love My Acadia - 2008 GMC Acadia
  By Laura - November 6 - 4:36 pm

  We purchased our 2008 Acadia last fall after owning a Honda Odyssey for 5 years. This vehicle is wonderful- by far better than the Odyssey! This is the first winter weve had it in Ohio and it handles beautifully through deep snow! The AWD is excellent. It is comfortable and fun to drive. Outstanding turning radius for this size of vehicle- very easy to maneuver. Lots of interior space and rear seats are easy to fold down.

  Wife and I love it ,kids too - 2008 GMC Acadia
  By NC in Memphis - October 8 - 4:06 am

  Well we got it last Saturday 8/20/08. Its been great. We got a silver 8 seat SLT-1. The ride is awesome plenty of room. I have 3 girls and they love to too. This is our first brand new car in 15 years. We had a 97 mini van and moved into the Acadia. Wow what a difference. I read all the reviews on this site and they were very helpful in making our decision. Were getting about 23 mpg not bad.

  Great size & very comfortable - 2008 GMC Acadia
  By bolina - July 7 - 8:46 am

  The Acadia is very comfortable and smooth drive. The 7 (or 8) passenger seating is a great option. It feels big but I was quickly able to adapt. The mpg is great for a vehicle of this size. It is a little sluggish on take off but it is a big, heavy vehicle but it does get decent mpg. Im very happy with this vehicle and would definitely recommend it.
