What Owners Say
"This vehicle just feels heavy. The large engine can get it moving quickly, but breaking and cornering it still feels heavy."
Sam H., MO (2013 GMC Acadia)"The acceleration is excellent, I can move in and out of traffic with no problem."
- L., PA (2013 GMC Acadia)"Great engine performance and smooth transmission feel!"
Anonymous, MI (2013 GMC Acadia)"Driving around town and parking it handles like a small vehicle. out on the road passing and driving country roads and freeways it drives like a large sedan with lots of power."
Anonymous, WA (2013 GMC Acadia)"Best vehicle I have ever had for highway travel in all types of weather."
Anonymous, WA (2013 GMC Acadia)"engine has high whine when gunning from dead stop."
Anonymous, VA (2013 GMC Acadia)"Has a very large "turning area" - always have to repark in parking place because can't turn sharp enough first time"
LAURA N., OR (2013 GMC Acadia)"4wheel independent suspension is very accommodating on rough rides or over curbs. All wheel drive is awesome on icy, snowy roads. Acceleration is greatly improved with direct injection and still with reasonable mpg readings. Runs on regular fuel. Turning radius is acceptable and the brakes are sure and not spongy. Above attributes notable with such a large SUV."
HAROULD C., WY (2013 GMC Acadia)"on the dash -the red lighting and glare it creates is awful Initial acceleration is lacking. Once you reach a speed(which takes too long for such a big engine) it drives great-it's the getting to that speed which is timely and problematic Also car is just large and bulky feeling and the turning radius is very poor-makes for more difficult parking and maneuverability"
ROBIN S., NC (2013 GMC Acadia)"underpowered"
DAVID P., OH (2013 GMC Acadia)"Execution of acceleration input is delayed. Very annoying."
MICHAEL L., CT (2013 GMC Acadia)"The V6 is adequate for most driving tasks but when you really need to make some power (passing or towing a boat up a hill) it has to work pretty hard and that is obvious in the cabin."
GREGG P., CA (2013 GMC Acadia)"drivers seat uncomfordable to sit on"
