You are in the GMC Acadia Forum. Your Hosts are steve_ & tidester
| I purchased mine on 3/26/07 and I think the car is wonderful. The only thing I need to bring it back for is the temperature gauge. I didn't know about any recalls. I guess I'll have them addressed with my first oil change. | |

Replying to: jseck2 (Apr 25, 2007 6:20 am) You probably read this but here is a paragraph from Edmunds road test regarding downshift impressions: "In our road tests we found the Acadia to be quite an eye-opening drive. Handling is respectable, especially considering the vehicle's large size and hefty weight. The Acadia's V6 won't blow you away with its power, but peak torque comes on early and the vehicle moves with decent authority. We noted that the Acadia's transmission can occasionally be hesitant to downshift, blunting passing performance somewhat. But overall, our editors feel that the GMC Acadia represents a compelling combination of functionality, luxury and value." Regards, OW |

| Have put on 1000 miles in a month. Average local and hwy 14.2 mpg.....really disappointing. Expected a little downer from AWD but this is far worse that projected and far worse than our Tahoe. Any similar experience? | |

Great ride and wonderful silence...but also the biggest car [especially in width] that I've ever worked with - our Mercedes S-class cars from the past seem positively svelte by comparison. |

| Having a tough time parting with my 2000 suburban. After reading several comments about the downshifting issues and gas mileage not so sure Im ready to buy. Is there an new edition coming out with the transmission fix? Radio fix? Also has anyone heard of Chevy coming out with there version? Haven't seen any comments about towing. Appreciate any input. | |
My SLT1 FWD Silver Acadia arrived at the dealer on 4/27 after being on order for only about 5 weeks. I have not had a chance to drive it much yet but so far I have found no problems. I am an engineer by training and rather picky about quality. I looked over the car in detail and could find no fit or finish issues, missing fasteners, noises etc. The transmission shift issue does not seem pronounced and is no big deal for me. I assume it came with the latest transmission software update. I did notice that the radio reception seemed a bit weak and noisy on an occasion and will keep an eye on that. I will provide an update after I get more miles and experience with it. Overall I really like it, but wish it looked a little less truck like.
