What owners say
"Overall, owners of the 2008 GMC Acadia appreciate its spaciousness, family-friendly features, and comfort. The vehicle's reliability and handling are frequently praised, along with its good fuel economy. However, a common concern among drivers is its underpowered drivetrain and issues with long-term reliability, particularly regarding the transmission."
Performance- Good speed, excellent road grip and ABS, intelligent handling with variable power stairing. Build quality- excellent material and design is awsome Cost of Ownership- midium range with excellent fuel efficiency and oil change ratio Fun Factor - real fun to drive
May 22, 2009Acceleration times are hindered by the mass of the vehicle. Overall quality is excellent, have not had any issues. Ownership costs are low, except when paying for personal tax. Fun to drive factor is adequate for a crossover utility vehicle.

November 18, 2009This vehicle replaces our Suburban. Not as big inside or out, but handles better, rides better, gets better gas mileage, and still hauls 8 people (if needed). Seats fold down easily for extra cargo and back back seat easily accessible because the middle seats fold up and out of the way. Many creature comforts like heated seats and tri-zone temperature control.
April 22, 2008I love this car.I dont have to hear my kids fighting. They will have entertainment. I love all the features. The price was reasonable.
April 26, 2022Great car, reliable family transportation. It could have used more powerful drivetrain.
October 19, 2020Overall, it's a nice vehicle if you need an 8 passenger vehicle. Has flexible seating and handles well even when fully loaded. My wife likes the power lumbar support for the passenger front seat. Usually, you only get that on premium level vehicles. Heavier on gas than I thought it would be but it can go over 400 miles between fill-ups on the highway.
August 22, 2013Great car for trips and for family in general. Definitely looking to stay with this truck for as long as I can. Kids love the DVD system in back and the space that there is to move. Also a big fan of the panoramic moon roof in the passenger area.
February 26, 2015This is one smooth ride. With an ample interior and tons of features, we are going to drive everywhere this summer. Owning a car in Manhattan is not easy, but driving this baby is pure pleasure. If you have a family and need a good ride, don't go any further.
April 13, 2008If you want a all wheel drive car filled with utility that is mildly underpowered that works great for 60,000 miles than the GMC Acadia is for you. The ride is comfortable and quiet, and handling is exceptional for such a large vehicle. BUT, this car is criminally unreliable. The transmission just died (wave plates were made of too soft of a material), the oil pan leaks because it has been sealed with glue (no bolts)-- no joke. And finally, the engine warning system caution lights just started doing very strange things. Each trip to the dealer cost $2000-$4000. The last drive was to CarMax and I'm now free of wondering whether my family will safely get to where they are headed. We finally gave up on a vehicle that looks to be in pristine condition, suited our family needs well yet has the reliability of a... well I guess GMC. Lesson learned for us to offer up to you, do not buy GMC. Hurts to write that, but the good news is that Toyota sells reliable cars that are now made in America.
