  2012 Acadia SLT-2 AWD (Love it!) - 2012 GMC Acadia
  By grandprixman - December 20 - 10:48 am

  Pretty much every option besides the rear DVD system. Been driving this vehicle for just over 2 years. Ill have to say, its the best riding vehicle that Ive ever owned. Havent had any mechanical issue with the vehicle, and Im over 38,000 miles. There have been a couple minor recalls, but nothing that would prevent me from giving it a great review. Power is pretty good. The only thing I dont like is the gas mileage. It gets what its suppose to, so I cant complain too much. And this thing weights over 6,000 lbs. Smooth ride, great interior, and no mechanical defects. Who could ask for anything more.

  Pleased that GM Has Come Back Strong... - 2012 GMC Acadia
  By riogp - December 30 - 11:18 pm

  When I was a kid we had Packards ( Ask the man who owns one ) ...after that we drove Chevys & Cadillacs. In the 80s we switched to German iron since all the US auto makers fell flat on quality. My 2012 Acadia has revised my opinion of American quality. A very sophisticated work of engineering...very much on a par with the German product, as well as the Japanese...and at a more realistic purchase price ...and very much more reasonable service charges. The Acadia handles very precisely for such a large outfit. Mixed driving 20. 8 mpg. on the AWD version. I am very impressed.

  Happy With My Purchase !!! - 2012 GMC Acadia
  By pattisdgal - August 7 - 6:34 pm

  Had a 2001 Dodge Durango which I loved. After 12 years it was time for a new SUV. I test drove the Traverse, VeraCruz, Durango, and the Durango. As soon as I sat in the GMC, I was sold. The ride is comfortable, it handles great and has lots of room.

  Acadias are the BEST! - 2012 GMC Acadia
  By jholmes46219 - August 4 - 10:01 am

  I recently traded my 2009 Acadia SLT2 with over 120,000 miles for a new 2012 Denali. I only traded the 09 because of the number of miles and the attractive trade deal available. I loved the old one and like the new one even better. The mileage has averaged in the 18-19 mpg range overall. I have hauled as much as 1,000 lbs and only felt a small amount of rear sway. My only real complaint is that front headlights can only be accessec through the front wheel wells. This is the best all around vehicle I have owned!

  BEST CAR. period - 2012 GMC Acadia
  By lovegmc1 - June 12 - 2:30 pm

  For our new car, we were going to test drive an edge at ray seraphin ford, but when they wouldnt let us because there was snow on top of the car (:0), we decided to go right next door to Scranton GMC. I fell in love with it as soon as we drove it off of the lot because of all the features as well as smoothness of the ride! A few months later, after driving every other comparable car, we decided on the acadia! Ever since Hallowee 2011, we have taken the beloved acadia everywhere, and racked up 16,000 miles, all without ONE problem(except for one onstar issue, but that wasnt the cars fault). The GMC acadia fits any family like a new member and is the best crossover/ SUV choice out there!!!!

  So Far So Good - 2012 GMC Acadia
  By bayerleinbio - February 8 - 8:39 pm

  I just bought this crossover. I looked at all crossovers - foreign and domestic - price, and mpg - and found Acadia a bit larger than I would have initially prefered, however I was impressed. I drive mainly in a small town, and I get 17 mph, with an average speed of 22mph from block to block. Ive owned Chevy trucks, a Tahoe, and an ML 350 Benz which I traded in for the Acadia. The interior is amazing, roomier than Toyota Rav4 (which was really narrow). Acceleration on Interstate was fine - I am not a dynamic quick driver rabbit start driver, so this vehicle suites my driving style nicely. Great to have the camera - in color - in the rear view mirror.

  Acadia is a great family vehicle - 2012 GMC Acadia
  By toxner - August 24 - 7:25 am

  I rate this vehicle very high. It is a joy to drive and it is very comfortable for the family to travel in. To me it is very responsive and drives really nicely. It is a bigger SUV but the room inside is amazing. I love the styling and look of the vehicle.
