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.

  Totally Awesome - 2008 GMC Acadia
  By Acadia - May 15 - 11:16 pm

  I drove the MDX, Pathfinder, Jeep GC, XC90, Tribeca, Tahoe and Explorer. None of them came close to Acadia. The capacious interior was second to none. The amount of interior storage is unsurpassed. I ordered one with everything and a second row bench seat and waited nine weeks. The rearview camera is a must since rearward vision is limited due to a small rear window. The transmission is still somewhat reluctant to downshift.

  Best Ive Ever Owned! - 2008 GMC Acadia
  By Norman - February 12 - 7:50 pm

  I am very pleased with the Acadia. I have owned two minivans, four japanese imports, and one German, and the Acadia is the best. I took it on a trip and put 2500 miles on it in one week and rode like a luxury vehicle. The options are comparable with luxury brands without the cost. The mileage is respectable, giving me 14.7 per gallon in mostly city driving. I love the XM and comfort of the seating, as I am 6 feet and over 300 pounds.

  Acadia - MN Driver - 2008 GMC Acadia
  By Geddyr - November 10 - 11:53 pm

  Outside of the couple off issues with the transmission this vehicle has ran great as it nears its first year and 12,000 mles. What impressed me most were the calls from GM and their engineers when they found issues with the transmission as one of the first customer to purchase. Best of all, this car has handles great and been 100% reliable in this very cold and snowy winter

  What I didnt learn from Consumer Report - 2008 GMC Acadia
  By Al Bodeen - October 4 - 4:06 am

  Consumer Reports compares this vehicle to others in its medium class and gives the negative review of poor mileage. Really? Even though it has almost twice as much luggage capacity and 23 cu. foot more cargo capacity than the Highlander, more cargo capacity than the Mazda CX-9, Pilot and Taurus and more powerful engine than all except the Mazda, it still gets better mileage than all others named here or in its class. Moving and pulling more for less is a big deal. The Gross Vehicle Weight Rating is 6400 lbs and it beats its competitors there by 500 lbs. while getting a 16/24 mpg. rating. I love the way it drives and performs. You want to get one of these if you want the most for the miles

  Another great product - 2008 GMC Acadia
  By SharieLinn - July 16 - 1:00 am

  We are a loyal GM family. This is our second GMC SUV, and it is the greatest. Has a smooth and quiet ride. Its got the Brut of an SUV with the ride of a fine car. The best of both worlds. Plenty of leg room in the second and third rows.

  Excellent says it all! - 2008 GMC Acadia
  By Jim V. - May 29 - 11:40 am

  We needed a vehicle to haul 2 children and thier friends. Gas mileage was a concern. This vehicle has plenty of room and great gas mileage. A added bonus was the fact that everyone that sees it comments how great it looks.

  2008 SLT-2 AWD - 2008 GMC Acadia
  By NYUnderground - April 4 - 11:50 am

  As Im sure most of you did, researched extensively prior to purchasing a new 2008 Acadia SLT-2 AWD. Options: DVD Entertainment, Twin Sunroofs, Tow Package and 2nd row bench seats.We traded in our 05 Accord to get something bigger after the addition of our 2nd child and I am really glad we chose the Acadia. After driving and looking at at least 10 cars in this very over croweded (gd for consumers) market segment we decided on the Acadia becasue of its looks, feel and overall comfort.My wife has never driven an SUV before but is able to drive this cross- over with ease, although backing up (even with parking assist) is still a challenge.

  Fun Ride - 2008 GMC Acadia
  By Marcella - March 24 - 8:03 pm

  I reviewed and searched for the perfect crossover and I found it in the GMC Acadia. I had an Acura MDX and it was giving me mechanical problems. I said I would never purchase an American car. GMC has changed our minds! We have always purchased foreign and the GMC line has really turned us around. Thanks GMC for a wonderful ride that turns heads as well as makes us smile. My daughter loves lookingt through the 2nd row sun roof especially at night and watching her long awaited DVD player. My in-laws love that we can have them along since it seats 6 comforably and 7 with a small child on the third row. Only will trade for a new one. Its everything I thought it would be and more. Thanks GMC!

  Updated to new car - 2008 GMC Acadia
  By Sandra Swan - February 17 - 1:30 pm

  I simply cannont tell in words how much fun it is to drive this car. I have been a faithful Chevy Blazer driver since 1995 with the same car! Coming from that car to this car gas wasnt an issue. I love all the cargo space and easy to use features. Remote start is a wonderful feature when it is cold outside and your car is warming for you. It is easier to drive in the wind it doesnt blow me around as much. I couldnt think of a better car to come over too if you are a Blazer, Tahoe or other SUV owner without the need for towing. I highly recommend this car to anyone.
