2008 GMC Acadia Review:
I love the car, but hate all of the issues. This car has been in and out of the shop since 1400 miles. Had to drop the engine to replace the cams/heads, two new starters, two dead batteries, air bag sensor replaced three times, climate control replaced four times, and leaking sunroof issues. Tried to support American, but my next car will be a Toyota.

Image of chrome trim on front-side AC vents reflects onto the side view mirrors causing great distraction when trying to use sideview mirrors: suggest chrome trim there be replaced with dark color or at least brushed chrome

Vehicle rides well, looks nice with nice accents. Vehicle holds the road well and is comfortable and roomy.

Cons: How would you improve 2008 GMC Acadia?
Fix front end and engine hesitation problems.

2008 GMC Acadia Review:
The 2008 Acadia looks sleek and rides nice. It's priced decently and the packages to be added are decently priced. The vehicle has had engine troubles with a heisitation since 2006. The 2006 and 2007 models had tsbs afte production that recalibrated the engine to fix the hesitation. Once the recalibration has been completed it affects the vehicle's gas mileage where the vehicle averages less than 15 MPH. 2008 models were to haved the recalibration installed before they leave the factory. The engine hesitates and feels like it chokes out when trying to accelerate from a steady speed. This leaves you always having to accelerate which makes for a less than smooth ride. GMC knows of the hesitation and does not know how to fix it. They say the vehicle "drives as designed". If it's designed to hesitate and give an aggravating ride then know wonder GM is in trouble. Save yourself the trouble and purchase another vehicle.
