#1 of 14 Is it worth it to order the 2009 Acadia? by carshopper47 Jun 27, 2008 (10:59 am)
I am looking to downsize my 03 Expedition (which I just love love!) because it has 95K miles. I am interested in the Acadia but after reading forums on this site and acadiaforum.net I am a little nervous. Has anyone heard if the 2009 acadia is going to be a better made car? I read it's going to have more features like the Denali? My other option was the Audi Q7, Acura MDX. My husband is a little nervous about the GMC, he thinks they are not well made.....can I prove him wrong with the 09?

Replying to: carshopper47 (Jun 27, 2008 10:59 am) I've had my '07 Acadia for more than a year and there isn't any mechanical problems on it. My only complaint is the MPG. I believe I get 11 local & 17 hwy, with regular gasoline, believe it or not. When I was buying it a year ago some of my friends told me not to, because it was a new model, it is American made... I did not listen. So far I am still loving it.   All manufactures build good & bad cars, that is why they provid warantee. I personally believe there isn't such a car in this world can meet all your requirements so why not take a test drive first and then decide.

Replying to: carshopper47 (Jun 27, 2008 10:59 am) Well, you're coming from a Ford Expedition, so I think pretty much anything is an upgrade. From what I've read, GM made major improvements for this year, so I'd guess they will make more for '09. Replies to this message: mike_sp1 (Mar 12, 2009 11:47 am)
#6 of 14 It depends... by smart_shopper Aug 03, 2008 (9:08 pm)
What do you want? There are great deals to be had on leftover 2008 models- a lower price and up to $1,750 in offers. The 2009 model will have several improvements such as the direct injection motor. Also new for 2009 are cooled seats, only available in the SLT2 model. If you can do without these and the improvements, you can find a great deal on an existing inventory model.   Also, I think you will find your SUV is worth next-to-nothing for a trade-in. I have a 2001 Dodge & all the dealers I went to were pretty much $2K under KBB/Edmunds trade in value.

Cathy, I doubt if you could prove him wrong. What did you end up getting? GM has made great strides in quality but their service departments have kept me out of a GM showroom for over a decade.

Replying to: kellz (Jul 23, 2008 7:42 pm) Major improvements in the '09 Acadia -- perhaps in direct injection, but GM took out the courtesy lights for the front floors as well as the (hard to believe) glove box light -- they are not even options and thus not available. Imagine doing away with a $ 5.98 (retail replacement cost) glove box light. SHAME!!!!   Mike
#9 of 14 Bluetooth for 2008 Acadia by nrpman Mar 13, 2009 (10:19 am)
Does anyone know if you can outfit the 2008 Acadia with the 2009 Bluetooth connectivity feature?
