What Owners Say
"I love the car the ride, how quickly it accelerates."
Anonymous, MO (2014 GMC Acadia)"had 4 Cadillac's rides better than all"
Anonymous, VA (2014 GMC Acadia)"Easy to turn steering wheel"
Ed N., MI (2014 GMC Acadia)"No zip, awful mileage (10mpg on a good day) makes this car not fun to drive. It is large enough for large dogs and lots of cargo...a good thing."
WHEELING B., FL (2014 GMC Acadia)"Slow response time on acceleration but once it kicks in, it performs well."
MAUREEN R., TX (2014 GMC Acadia)"Acceleration is uneven and weak"
Anonymous, NY (2014 GMC Acadia)"Shift points under low to modest acceleration seem too high. It is an irritation listening to the engine whining away."
RUDOLPH B., WI (2014 GMC Acadia)"I have told the dealer that my transmission pauses around 18mph when I accelerate. I fear the transmission is shoddy. They couldn't duplicate my issue so they said no worries. I will trade-in before I get to 100k miles."
BRUCE G., FL (2014 GMC Acadia)"I drive in the mountains and can set the cruse at my comfortable (above speed limit about 5mph) and if no one gets in the way I can use cruse all the way without loosing speed and around the corners fine."
DENNIS O., AZ (2014 GMC Acadia)"Hard ride"
ANTHONY D., NY (2014 GMC Acadia)"Sluggish acceleration, transmission does not shift correctly, at times will not kick down when accelerator pushed all the way. Vehicle tends to rock when cornering creating a swaying sensation even if the steering wheel is held steady in a corner, worse at highway speeds"
MARK W., BC (2014 GMC Acadia)"Engine undersized for this truck. Got better gas mileage on my 2002 Suburban! It can't get out of its own way!!"
MARK F., NY (2014 GMC Acadia)"Should have a V-8 option"
Anonymous, AZ (2014 GMC Acadia)"Under powered, need to floor the gas pedal for acceleration, handles well"
JARRETH S., CA (2014 GMC Acadia)"The vehicle would be better at acceleration if it had a small V-8 or a turbo on the 6 cylinder."
Anonymous, NJ (2014 GMC Acadia)"good acceleration, carrying capacity would like to see better gas mileage"
J M., GA (2014 GMC Acadia)"If you enjoy driving, this not your car. It's like driving a brick"
MICHAEL B., FL (2014 GMC Acadia)"This car has pick up when I need it"
Tom M., CA (2014 GMC Acadia)"Hesitates on acceleration due to downshifting."
Anonymous, NC (2014 GMC Acadia)"Outstanding acceleration for passing cars and corners as well as my last car."
Anonymous, NY (2014 GMC Acadia)"Very smooth drive, with good acceleration & passing speeds. A very quiet vehicle on the road."
Anonymous, OR (2014 GMC Acadia)"Very good excelleration is very good. Easy to park and drive"
Jerry J., TX (2014 GMC Acadia)"Drives great, handles great, good mileage, brakes are poor"
Westley H., OR (2014 GMC Acadia)"The turning radius is not as good as previous vehicles I've owned. It's difficult to get into and out of tight spots. It takes more maneuvering."
Anonymous, MI (2014 GMC Acadia)"Solid feel. Plenty of acceleration."
Anonymous, IN (2014 GMC Acadia)
"Bigger vehicle that handles like a small one"
Larry I., ON (2014 GMC Acadia)
