Love this car!!!
Source: Edmunds

...I felt the need to report since I read these when deciding what to buy.
This thing is awesome! really. took our first good trip this weekend and this car handles and drives incredibly.
80,90, 100mph no problem. It floats at all speeds.
100 mph was deceiving because it handled so smooth. twisty roads were also gobbled up with ease. plenty of room for the kids and our stuff. Love it! We'll be keeping this for a long while...

Family SUV

...Pros: Smooth, powerful, spacious, stylishly beautiful.
Good for travelling. Cons: None. One cannot get better fuel economy with 3.6 L engine.
Overall: Very satisfied with my Acadia. Sorry to learn that Acadia may be marked for cancellation according to Motor Trend- May 2011 issue (...a report in GM inside news)...

Rugged Luxury

..."This vehicle is perfect in every way. I've deemed the Acadia the rugged luxury vehicle, perfect for entertaining executives, families, friends and also perfect for the mountains.
The only thing is sometimes the pick up lags for just a second before it kicks in.
I love, love, love this vehicle. If I had the money, I would buy one for every person in my family! Enjoy your Acadia!"...

...Struts replaced X2 , tranny X2, brakes and rotors replaced X2, rear seat adjustment is horrible, original tires garbage.
GMC engineers trying to figure out why airbag/seatbelt lights stay on all the time...can't assure me that the airbags will work correctly.
Worst vehicle ever owned...in fact, I've had $100 cars when I was a kid that were better quality and more dependable that this pile of scrap metal.
Have 5 months left on my "Stupid Buy" and am certainly returning this vehicle (since GMC won't do anything to buy me out.
They spent more money on transmission and struts...

Love the Acadia, but does have lots of problems
Source: Edmunds

...I bought a 2007 Acadia in 2010 and it is Feb 2011 now.
I bought it with 50,000 miles on it. It already in less than a year having it had to have a new transmission put in it..The front evaporator core went out..so A/C did not work at all.
now my power Steering pump is going out, causing it to make a loud sound.
I don't drive bad, I have three small children so I know its not me tearing it up.
It would be okay if it was little things but these are major.
I've spent 1000s fixing it because it did not have warranty. So Please if you buy this vehicle..I would suggest...

$48000 car that does not have a compass
Source: Edmunds

...Did not find out until after puchase that you can not get a compass on your Denali if you have the Bose entertainment system and the rear entertainment dvd player.
Seems kind of cheap of GM to go high end on car but low end on every day useful items...

Why should I also consider these?

Practically speaking, the Acadia’s only direct competitor is the Ford Flex, a crossover vehicle that combines a comparable emphasis on passenger comfort and space with a completely different, boxy style.

 
2011 Ford Flex
A singular look, along with top-shelf turbo power and features, earns the 2011 Ford Flex our top score among utility vehicles.
 
2011 Honda Pilot
If you can get past the garish grille and overwrought look, the 2011 Honda Pilot is a fine family vehicle, with minivan-like interior space and decent performance.
 
2011 Mazda CX-9
The 2011 Mazda CX-9 can carry seven in comfort, but it loves curves more than almost any other roomy crossover.
 
2011 Toyota Highlander
The very family-friendly Toyota Highlander and Highlander Hybrid impress us with their space and versatility, but show no sign of enthusiasm.
