  • Beats a Cadalliac SRX Hands Down - 2010 GMC Acadia
    By -

    Ive owned two Acadias now. A 2008 and a 2010. The 2008 was nice but I did not like the drive train. The 2010 is flat out amazing in terms of being in the right gear under stressful conditions. In a word, the vehicle is snappy. My wife and I absolutely love it. I recently drove an AWD Cadalliac SRX for a week in Michigan and while it was nice, the drive train was like my 2008 Acadia... slow to respond to throttle inputs. Really frustrating when you are in a SITUATION that requires immediate attention. Our 2010 Acadia would smoke the 2010 SRX in drivability tests. Our MPG is 18-20 depending on our driving mix. Weve had it for 6 months.

  • Love my Acadia - 2010 GMC Acadia
    By -

    We bought this vehicle in February after my Jeep (which I also loved) finally died. I didnt want another Jeep because they made the cab smaller. I went to look at the Terrain and fell in love with this vehicle. It handles well, looks great and nothing beats it in the snow. We got the AWD. On a day when they should have closed schools due to a storm they didnt. I had to pick up my daughter and was going to have my hubby get her as I really dont like driving in the snow. My Acadia handled beautifully, never went off the road and I felt totally safe. This is the first time I wasnt afraid to drive in the snow and I have owned 6 vehicles. If you have kids and want to be safe,buy one.

  • Loving it so far! - 2010 GMC Acadia
    By -

    When looking for a new vehicle for my new wife, we had a few requirements. 3 rows, towing capacity around 5000 lbs, and just good overall design and style. We looked at many different vehicles from all manufacturers, including 2 row suvs early in our search, and decided on the Acadia, and we are glad we did. The ride is incredible, it is very quiet. The fuel economy is good for a vehicle of this size powered by a small V6. When driving easy, mileage is very good. When driving aggressively, the mileage can drop quickly, and thats where a lot of people have problems. Visibility is good, unless the rear entertainment screen is down. Sunroofs are awesome. Bose sound could be better.

  • The best - 2010 GMC Acadia
    By -

    This vehicle is the best in its class. The power, handling, and comfort are top notch for such a large vehicle. I always get 20 mpg for mixed driving, and as high as 22+ for highway. Has anyone owned a vehicle that gets its rated MPG or better? Dont bother with the stupid reviews that people dont like it for access didnt they try it at the dealer? If it hasnt been reliable, take it out on the dealer thats supposed to be fixing it. GM has the best buy back program around. Some people just like to complain. This is one of the most solid, best performing vehicles on the road, and it deserves a good long look.

  • Great for trailering - 2010 GMC Acadia
    By -

    Weve only had the vehicle for a few weeks now but were loving it. We checked out the Pilot, Pathfinder and Edge. The pilot had the 2nd row leg room but few options at our price. The other 2 didnt have the 2nd row leg room. We need something that tows a 3500 lb pop up trailer and this does that without a problem. I can even see over trailer with rear view mirror. Took some time to get the hang of moving the 2nd row seat to get into the 3rd row. Once you get it its easy.

  • Great Product - 2010 GMC Acadia
    By -

    This is our 4th GMC and first Acadia. So far I am very impressed with the vehicle. While the mileage is not great, you have to consider what you are getting and giving up in mileage. Performance is good for the v6. Interior space is outstanding compared to competitive models while it doesnt feel like a big ship when driving.

  • Pure Awesomeness - 2010 GMC Acadia
    By -

    I got the top of the line SLT2 and Im very satisfied with it. I got 3500 miles on it.

  • Great car - 2010 GMC Acadia
    By -

    Ive had this car for 4 months and 3500 miles. So far everything is just outstanding. The power, the handling,the comfort and -lets not forget- its also a looker on red. I was so ready to buy the new Sienna and then my wife asked me to also test drive the Acadia. We were immediately hooked. Features like the navigation with Onstar, traffic,DVD, heated memory seats, dual moonroof, remote starter, etc. just make me feel like Im on a spaceship. It has completely changed my mind about American cars. Awesome job GM! PD: Why do so many praise minivans and crossovers that have such a low ground clearance that they hit the front bumper on everything? Just check a loaded Odyssey or Flex.

  • Excellent Vehicle - 2010 GMC Acadia
    By -

    This is a very nice car. It looks way better than any other crossover that I test drove, but thats a different case on the inside, which is dull and ugly. Despite that, it is one of the best vehicles available. Driving American gives me a sense of pride to.

  • 2010 Acadia SLT - 2010 GMC Acadia
    By -

    I have only had my Acadia for a short time. I really like everything about the Acadia. The ride is great and the gas mileage is better (about 20 in mixed driving) than expected. The Acadia is very confortable with loads of space inside. Handles great and does about everything short of driving itself and almost does that. At this point I would recomend the Acadia to anyone.
