Roomy third row seat, easy access, cool styling, awesome duel sunroof and FOLD FLAT THIRD ROW SEATS UNLIKE THE YUKON!!!

None that I can figure out besides it is a GMC si it doesn't have the best resale value or reliability.

I looked at this car with my parents two years ago (when i was 8) so I don't have much memory. But I ABSOLUTELY LOVED THIS CAR. And don't go thinking I was tiny when I was 8. I was at least 4'5. Right now I'm 5'2 and a half.

2004? Toyota Sequoia whcih has a barely better third row and back window.

Comfortable, easy to drive, adequate room for dogs and supplies. The navigation system might be great if I could figure it out. Ditto on the twin sun roofs. I like the remote door lock, esp for the hatchback.

All those fancy buttons mean I have had to pull over and read a manual to figure out how to turn on heat or air, rear defroster, window washers, find a radio station. Still don't know how to use the navigation system -- twice it has arbitrarily decided to keep telling us how to go somewhere when I hadn't asked. Got out the manual to cancel but would not cancel. Similarly, the phone is a pain. 'Call Home' is too little to recognize. I don't want a 3rd row seat but get that forced on you, and I sure don't want a DVD player which will never be used.

I HATE IT I HATE IT I HATE IT! It's all about mileage.. we're very rural,mostly highway and don't get 18mpg -- it's rated 18-24. What a lie! A pure freeway trip didn't break 19mpg. It has all the bells and whistles, but I can't see past that mileage! I'm technically challanged and this vehicle has hit a point of saturation with buttons and voice activated commands. Operating it requires the dedication of a religion.

Honda CR-V 2003, which I loved but messed up my husbands back.
Ford Explorer '91, also loved it but traded for something more economical.

Many creature comforts: dual moonroof and sunroof; backup sensors; heads-up display is awesome; entertainment system with AM/FM/CD/XM radio is very nice; On-star turn by turn directions are fantastic and make the Navigation package totally unnecessary. Dashboard layout and finish is very clean and nice with chrome accents. The rear auto-opening hatchback is a very nice option - would recommend purchasing. Plenty of storage and cup holders available. Leather trim is very nicely done.

Second row seats have less cushioning than desired or compared to vehicles like the Yukon. Handling is decent but a bit soft and could do better. The addition of better anti-sway bars or a tighter suspension would be an improvement. Acceleration is only fair and is noticibly inferior to GM's 8 cylinder in other SUV's. Gas mileage of +/- 18mpg is ok - but only incrementally better than my V8 Yukon at 14mpg - and at a significant loss of HP. The trim level I purchased did not have 8 way power seats for the driver nor passenger - would highly recommend purchasing this option.

This vehicle is an excellent replacement for the GMC Envoy and Chevy Trailblazer (which I used to own). I has as much interior space as the GMC Yukon I traded on this Acadia.

Gas mileage is decent at +/- 18 miles per gallon which is better than Yukon but disappointingly the same as the Trailblazer/Envoy.

This vehicle has very nice exterior styling - similar to the Acura MDX or the Lexus 330 - although it is bigger than both of those.

Third row seating is ok allow for a total capacity of seven or eight - if three are small kids.

Overall, a very nice vehicle with good value.

Peoria GMC staff was very professional - the best I have ever worked with.
