In 2012 while in search of a new family vehicle, I came across the GMC Acadia. The third-row seat I found to be very spacious and roomy for growing teens. The captain chairs both in the front and middle rows are very comfortable. Several middle row passengers compliment us on the smooth ride, as the ride feels as if they are in the front seats. The traction control feature and the spaciousness of the inside will give you a peace of mind when traveling in bad weather. The GMC Acadia is also great on gas mileage, as I was commuting 26 miles one way daily. The durability of the Acadia is outstanding also, after six years interior is holding up and looks brand new still. Have to note also that no minor or major problems mechanically, electrically, or cosmetically. Moving kids to college or loading groceries can all be done with ease as all seats have the ability to fold flat (with the exception of drivers seat) with a one hand operation. All information about the maintenance of the Acadia can be found at the touch of a button. What percentage is left before you need an oil change, tire pressure on all four tires, how many mpg you are averaging, how many miles you have left before next fill up can all be seen in the digital panel in you dashboard. Also have to note the replacement of air condition filter is easily located behind the glove compartment...I found that to be easy for me to replace!

The third-row seating of the GMC Acadia caught my attention first. As a mother of two, driving a sedan was becoming more impractical as they grew, and I knew we needed more space. After looking at reviews of top rated third-row vehicles, the Acadia was a clear standout for us—it had not only the nicest exterior appearance, but the interior was just as nice. It had great ratings for reliability, and the cost wasn't too high.
