The acadia is a good family vehicle but to me it just isn't appealing.

Just bought a 2009 GMC Acadia 2 months ago. City mileage is VERY POOR. I am going to be taking a trip next month so will see how the mileage is on the Interstate. I absolutely love this vehicle inside and out. It has lots of power under the hood, the exterior is impressive and I like the interior except if you are not careful the leather upholstery will scratch and peel off revealing white underneath (ie baby car seats). I touched mine up by dobbing a black majic marker on the white dots. All in all this is one class act vehicle–oh, by the way I have a 2003 VW Bug to drive around town.

I suggest you contact the district manager for GM with this complaint. I have an identical 2009 Acadia on which the shifting is so smooth as to be unnoticeable, so you definitely have a lemon transmission. GM doesn't want unhappy customers out there, so don't stop with your dealer (who sounds like a first-class idiot). When confronted with stupidity like this, go up the chain of command until you obtain satisfaction!

I own a 2009 SLE, not crazy about the transmission! It shifts abruptly! Does not upshift or downshift with ease. I've allowed multiple people to drive my acadia to experience it's shifting issues and all agreed. Even my salesman and service manager from dealer. Although once hooked up to a diagnostic, nothing reads abnormal. So I'm told "there's nothing more that we can do for you Ma'am." I'm told "it's the way Acadia's are built….with their electronical V6 engine.." Great, thanks for all your help guys! For sale signs in windows as I type..

The Acadia is powered by a 3.6L V6 engine paired with a six-speed automatic transmission. Standard amenities include keyless remote entry, hands-free OnStar communication system, tinted glass, heated mirrors, roof rails and a rear spoiler.

acadia is the best crossover. not just from gm. Its led tail lights are spectacular! Its all around better than enclave, traverse. its tied with outlook on looks though. overall, its just amazing.

Good to hear you like it Peter. I can't believe the trip odometer thing though – sounds like just another way to get you to move up into a trim where you don't need all the stuff just to get the one you do Oh well

Recently purchased a 2009 Acadia and generally love the car. Be careful when looking at trim options, however–moving down to the SL model meant giving up heated seats, electric seat adjust, steering wheel audio controls, driver information display, and most stupidly–a trip odometer! Something that has been standard equipment on every car or truck I've ever owned since 1960 has just gone away! Great car, otherwise, and decent mileage for the size and weight–23 highway is very attainable. Very stable and quiet at all speeds, and huge storage capacity for its size. I liked the side aspect better than the Enclave or Traverse, and think the GMC badge presents a good upscale image to either. I recommend this vehicle highly (unless you just have to know how many miles you drove today!)
