#51 of 52 Trying to decide btwn 08 Acadia or CX-9 by saudi_prince Feb 29, 2008 (1:24 pm)
I'm trying to decide between an 08 Acadia or a Mazda CX-9. I've test driven both and enjoy the ride of both (although the Mazda has slightly better acceleration). My concern with the Acadia after reading this forum is the seemingly high number of problems people have been having with the Acadia (temperature sensors, transmissions, engine problems, etc.). I really would like to think that Americans are still capable of making high quality vehicles and competing in the global economy but I am thinking that maybe I'd be better off buying the Mazda (which is majority owned by Ford anyway). Another motivating factor is GM's refusal to offer any sort of enticing incentive on the Acadia. Mazda is offering reduced financing and all I can get from GM is a paltry $500 rebate. Any one interested in trying to convince me that the Acadia is the better choice? Replies to this message: donl1 (Mar 01, 2008 9:06 am)

Replying to: saudi_prince (Feb 29, 2008 1:24 pm) I've had my Acadia since April 07' with zero problems. It's been to the shop for the transmission reflash (which did indeed make it much better) and the recall on the propeller bolts. Never looked at the Maxda. Only have 17K on my AWD Acadia but it's been trouble free...exactly what you'd expect when buying a new vehicle...it's my first GMC.
