  Can you say Jackpot ? - 2009 GMC Acadia
  By Big Wes - June 7 - 1:55 am

  G hit the jackpot with this puppy. This vehicle is a joy to drive and sports very stylish looks. At 6 feet 3 inches I am astonished at the interior roominess. I can even ride comfortably in the third row seats. My last vehicle was a 2007 Yukon and the third row seats were a joke. Car has lots of bells and whistle and the nav and sound systems are fantastic. I only wish GM would have used better quality plastic on the interior appointments given the price of the car. The engine is very responsive and the ride is very smooth. I test drove the 2009 Acura MDX and the Lexus RX 350 before buying. Both were nice but did not come close to the Arcdia in space, technogoly and smooth ride.

  By mdg - May 28 - 11:54 pm

  I have been a Honda kinda guy. Taking a chance with GMC, love the vehicle at this point, with the exception of the MPG (overstated). As long as the reli bility is there down the road I will be fine, Anyone out there that can speak of the relibility on owning a 2007?

  Check Engine light - 2009 GMC Acadia
  By Wyoming Acadia owner - May 26 - 1:47 pm

  We love our Acadia, beautiful design but unhappy with the Check Engine Light being on about 80% of the time since we have owned it: 5 months. Each time its on I take it in, and all 3 times they say its the emissions and each time I get one new part: canister with hoses, next time it was the purge valve, last time was the fuel tank sensor --and after the car was on the lift and the tank off -oops, wrong part, so I got a rental car at their expense. 2 days later, check engine light on again. I have asked for a new gas cap -as it also says tighten gas cap" (we do) and I guess it all depends on GM and what they say. If it comes on again after whatever they do this time, I want another car!!

  Great Vehicle - 2009 GMC Acadia
  By Kyle - May 1 - 12:10 pm

  A couple of years ago I bought an Infiniti FX 35, it was very sporty and reliable, but it was too small and it bounced all over rougher payment. The Acadia (Outlook, Traverse etc.) has much more, is much more comfortable and has an incredibly smooth ride. GMC has a winner with this. I bought my Acadia about 6 weeks ago, I love it and so does my wife.

  Central lock defect - 2009 GMC Acadia
  By zeina - April 29 - 1:16 pm

  My new Acadia just became faulty. A month after I purchased it, the central lock broke down. After being sent to repair 3 times, the dealer still couldnt manage to figure out what was wrong. It would be great to open my acadia without using the key, driver door. It will also be great to get my kids in without having them wait outside in order for me to get in and open the windows to be able to unlock the doors manually.

  A great vehicle! - 2009 GMC Acadia
  By RobandSue - April 28 - 6:29 am

  We have had our new Acadia for about a month and although that is not a very long time we are really, really pleased with our purchase! It is fun to drive, has good pick-up, sits solidly on the road, very comfortable inside, has a great sound system, and the robust features of the navigation system are all we could want. Add in the Onstar capability and we feel covered in all respects. We bought the heavy black floor mats for rainy weather and find that very useful in the rear when we need to transport "messy" things. We feel good driving it -- it has a classy appearance, too. Couldnt be happier!

  I love my Acadia - 2009 GMC Acadia
  By Lisa - April 14 - 10:16 am

  We have been Toyota owners for most of our life, because of reliability. One day I was driving and I saw this car that really caught my eye, it was the best looking car I had seen in a long time. So I followed it, it was a gmc Acadia. I researched a lot of cars on the Internet, and I always kept coming back to the Acadia. My husband loved it also. And we have loved it for the whole 2 months weve had it. It has a really comfortable ride. I fell very safe in it, it has 12 airbags, and 5-star safety rating. My 13 year old son loves it. 2 months is not long but I pray that we will have it for many years and it will be as reliable as all the toyotas we had in our lifetime. We hope America has done it!

  Best Car! - 2009 GMC Acadia
  By Mike M - April 11 - 8:32 am

  This is one of my favorite cars I have ever owned. Went from a Grand Caravan to this. With 3 kids the fact that they can watch a movie while I listen to the radio is awesome. The ride is terrific as well. Find the Navigation system is nice but has some funky routes every so often. Garmin hand held seems more accurate at times. I have the backup camera and dont know what I would do without it! gets you into spots nicely!

  Another fantastic American Automobile - 2009 GMC Acadia
  By ZL - March 30 - 10:04 pm

  The Acadia will put American car critics to shame. Exterior/interior styling is fantastic. It feels like an SUV but rides like a car which is perfect. Spacious and comfy. Great quality. Lots of technology.

  Great Rental - 2009 GMC Acadia
  By Rental Man - March 22 - 5:19 pm

  I rented a GMC Acadia this past week from Alamo - and ended up really enjoying this vehicle. We own a 07 Acura MDX and an 04 Sienna, and this SUV/crossover fell right in between on size, comfort, performance and mileage. From a size perspective, this car had more room with the seats folded down than our MDX. In terms of comfort, the leather heated seats, quad chairs and smooth ride were appreciated by the entire family. Performance-wise - its not as tight a car as the MDX,but it remains a competent highway and city cruiser. . Mileage was impressive, and its great to fill up on regular gas for a change. Would I buy this car -maybe - but would like to take the Buick Enclave first.
