#6 of 500 AWD mileage poor by jimbo31 May 07, 2007 (8:53 pm)
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?

Replying to: jimbo31 (May 07, 2007 8:53 pm) We rented a front-drive Outlook for the weekend. Mixed urban/suburban numbers were 17-18 mpg; pure highway [with just the two of us and the AC compressor off most of the time] was 21.5-23.0 mpg. For the weekend, our average was just short of 20.0 mpg, but with a light load and front-drive. This was an XR from Alamo in Portland OR - only options were the 19" wheels [with GY RS-A H-rated tires] and leather.   Ours seemed tight and trouble-free, with the exception of a tendency to drift right at speed - needed some alignment help. 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.
#8 of 500 looking to buy acadia by teri2 May 08, 2007 (10:14 pm)
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.

#9 of 500 No Problems So Far by 2saab May 10, 2007 (8:27 am)
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. Replies to this message: teri2 (May 10, 2007 8:40 am)
