We are still driving our 2009 GMC Acadia that we bought new. Last year (in it's ninth year) we replaced the brakes, changed two front headlamp bulbs and had to replace two ignition coils. That is the only repairs we have made to the vehicle. It is a great riding vehicle and roomy enough to use it as a part time campervan. My husband wants a new vehicle but I love this Acadia.
I love your reviews keep up the great vids. I bought my wife a pathfinder 2014 sv by far the best purchase I've ever made. I like your review on it also thank you.
Good job once again. My wife loves the Acadia. I mean loves it. Its her dream vehicle but she still has not bought one. She drives the 2012 Buick Regal. I think the Acadia will be in the family real soon....
I don't sell them - I just review them :) kidding. I give the pricing info occasionally - mostly if there's a reason to do so - like on a value car or an over priced car. Price can work against you sometimes when buying a vehicle. Thanks for watching my video!
My wife hates vans! She hates the way they look. She hates that she would be called a typical soccer mom. She hates everything about vans! We recently bought the same acadia but in sliver and she's in love with it! She used to have a suburban before this and she was worried about going to a smaller suv but she fell in love the first time she got in it. In the suburban we have two bench seats in the back but the kids love having their own seat and the dog likes his room in the back. The only thing she didn't like was her and they kids don't have a sunroof or dvd player anymore. But they can live without those things. We love our acadia! Did I mention she hates vans? lol
theMediaMart No but I love mine!! Seats are terrible though. Slightest touch of water (from when I open a snowcovered door that falls on the seat) STAINS IT.
I recently visited the GMC lot, saw this car and fell in love. However, looking at all the bad reveiws on my dream car have me a bit heart broken☹️ and skeptical.
+Consumer Reports lists the 2014 Acadia as a much worse than average overall pick. Based on surveys of owners. The 2015 model year improves to better than average Nina Goldwire
It's okay. Better two years late than never! 😂 I still think you're awesome. I didn't buy anything as I was also thinking of the Ford Edge or Lincoln Mkx at the time and never decided so back to the bowels of the Bronx subways I went. 😊
What would GM do with out that 3.6. Litre. V6? From the OLD impala to the caddy XTS. From Camaro to GMC Arcadia, to the Buick Lacrosse, and Caddy ATS. Etc etc . I think the world would be a much much better place if we all drove around in MINIVANS. I just love them! Most car volume for the money baby! Hahaha
Hi friend! I know that this review is oodles of years old, but what are your thoughts of a 2014 Mitsubishi Outlander for a first time car buyer. Really value your opinion as an average guy.
thanks and good question! I like both - the Acadia wins on the interior styling and a more user friendly electronics package. Test them both and let me know what you think :)
theMediaMart All you do is talk well about performance, what about realibility? Even though I was crazy about the room, design and some features of the 2007 acadia I bought in 2007, I took all kinds of hit. Transmission failure at 40,000 miles, water leaks during heavy rain, power doors issue.GMC stood behind me for the first transmission issue. But since then, the transmission has continued to have serious issues that dig a huge whole in my wallet. How much of those bugs have really been cleared.
Do that if you don't care about the leg room in the 3rd row seat. In the highlander, that is a complete disappointment. Even my 8 year old complaints about it.
nissanw1 yes I wanted to know the same thing, but the durango definitely looks better and appeals more to the younger buyer. The Acadia/Traverse/Enclave has too many complaints from current owners on kbb and edmunds, I'm sticking with the 2014-15 Durango.
I'm only looking this up cuz my mom got a 2007 Acadia today (yes I know buying a 2007 in 2014) and I want to see what the 2014 is like BTW we had a 2000 ford explorer before this 2007 Acadia we got today the explorer was falling apart had leather peeling off interior was screwed up....SO 2007 OR 2014 I DONT CARE ITS A NICE RIDE TO ME NOW :)
DBF Reviews Trust me it'll be falling apart pretty soon, not wishing bad luck on you guys but 2007-2011 was a bad generation for that car as well as the traverse and enclave, hope she got a decent warranty.
I bought a new 2012 GMC Acadia Denali. It is absolutely the worst GM product that I have owned since I purchased my first GM vehicle in 1976. Within weeks of driving the car off of the new car lot it left me stranded on the highway. The car spent 6 weeks in service. GM flew in a specialist and the problem was discovered in the transmission. Since then and prior to the 3 year warrantee expiring the car was taken in for service additional times to fix: driver seat came loose several recalls front AC evaporator unit power steering unit rear AC evaporator unit Because the warrantee has expired I contacted GM for relief. The problem was escalated to executive customer service and they first offered a $2000 loyalty coupon on a new car. This was eventually increased to a $2500 loyalty certificate. After they told me that the problems that I experienced were not costly since the warrantee covered the costs I turned the offer down. They offered no relief for additional problems that were likely to happen after my warrantee expired. I am done with GM and looking to find a replacement vehicle manufactured by another manufacturer.
I wonder how the new 2019 Blazer will stack up? It may be on our list. Although, now that GM is closing up in Oshawa, where dh worked for 34 years we may be able to get a Toyota!!!!!
I love my 2014 w dual sun roofs but I hate that I settled for cloth seats. Biggest mistake ever. They're terrible. Spill Water on them? Stained! Your a Blue jean wearer? -Your seat turns blue! Awful seats!!
Love this car. I drove the 2017 SLT-2 Limited Edition last week. The HUD is so fun to play with. You can see it here: ua-cam.com/video/l5X1R0Dg_Is/v-deo.html
Search "Acadia water leaks." Thousands of Acadia owners are furious because this car is plagued with mechanical issues. You will realize this video is a waste of your time. Trust me. I am stuck with one. The worst decision I ever made!
+theMediaMart I have a 2008 Acadia SLT2. Acadia owners with 2008 to 2014 year models are experiencing the same problem with rain water leaking from the roof and behind the dash board to the carpet.

Keep it till the wheels fall off. Enjoy and thanks for watching my video👍🏽
a great alternative to the dreaded minivan - the 2014 GMC Acadia
I did - I'll send it to you.
anytime the media art it's my pleasure to watch all of your videos great job
+blue light Thank you my friend! Keep pushing play!
I love your reviews keep up the great vids. I bought my wife a pathfinder 2014 sv by far the best purchase I've ever made. I like your review on it also thank you.
thank you my friend! I'm happy that you've found my videos to be helpful. :) good luck with the Pathfinder!
You are the bomb, sir. You are informative and straight to the point. Keep it up.
Yousef Bassam Thank you for watching!!!
Good job once again. My wife loves the Acadia. I mean loves it. Its her dream vehicle but she still has not bought one. She drives the 2012 Buick Regal. I think the Acadia will be in the family real soon....
I like the regal too! let me know what you decide to do and Keep Pushing PLAY!!
Great review, as always, Tony! Like the look of the Acadia, but gotta shout out for the Dodge Durango.
You should also state the price, which was never mentioned. That's important as well.

I hate vans just as much as your wife does. 👋🏽
This guy is great.
Thanks!
I loooove mine. Got the dual sunroof! Huge inside. Tip- get treated seats, cause they stain easily!
Have you seen the new ones?!!
theMediaMart
No but I love mine!! Seats are terrible though. Slightest touch of water (from when I open a snowcovered door that falls on the seat) STAINS IT.
Crazy.
theMediaMart
No really. I placed a lightly snow covered hat on the seat and you woulda thought a 100lb mudcovered dog climbed onto it. What the hell.
Awesome videos man! Keep them up.
I recently visited the GMC lot, saw this car and fell in love. However, looking at all the bad reveiws on my dream car have me a bit heart broken☹️ and skeptical.
I'll check with Consumer Reports on reliability and owner satisfaction. Remind me if I don't do it tomorrow- thanks for watching my video!

Hi friend! I know that this review is oodles of years old, but what are your thoughts of a 2014 Mitsubishi Outlander for a first time car buyer. Really value your opinion as an average guy.
Sorry that I missed your question- what did you eventually buy?
Sitting in the second row is uncomfortable in the last gen because the seat was so low to the floor or the floor was so high.
rayamanelly did you mean the third row?
Nice video, how would you compare this to the ford explore?
thanks and good question! I like both - the Acadia wins on the interior styling and a more user friendly electronics package. Test them both and let me know what you think :)

I love mini vans. Great review.
+blue light you do not love minivans - thanks for watching!
Just for your information this vehicle was redesigned in 2013 that made it look as it is not. I like the new Acadia better than the old one!
FanaticGuide1 I like the new Acadia too
No pooches! Great review as always!
thanks! keep pushing play!
I am loving my Acadia,but I sure miss my Armada
I just rented the new Armada and wasn’t impressed. What year was yours?
@@averageguytested
it was a '14
ha ha - the dogs are resting for a minute :)
Do a review of the 2014 Toyota Highlander!Why?Because it got redesigned and I think it looks awesome!I am sure you will like it also
Do that if you don't care about the leg room in the 3rd row seat. In the highlander, that is a complete disappointment. Even my 8 year old complaints about it.
Are you going to test drive chevy traverse? Please do.
Great vehicle and even greater review, I too hate minivans. This vehicle is great for a siesta!
In the 2013 Buick Enclave my mom has one and it had 2 sunroofs that one doesn't where are they I don't even think is has one
wyatt I was driving the base model I believe. the Sun roof is an option :)
Amazing review, keep it up!
thanks!
How do you think this car compaired to the dodge durango?
nissanw1 yes I wanted to know the same thing, but the durango definitely looks better and appeals more to the younger buyer. The Acadia/Traverse/Enclave has too many complaints from current owners on kbb and edmunds, I'm sticking with the 2014-15 Durango.
+andrea seibles Great move. Do not purchase the Acadia. It has rain water leaks from the roof.
acadia or explorer? or possibly an edge sel? What would be your pick?
Not the Acadia. It leaks water from the roof when it rains.
love all your video but mini are wonderful. you get size space rear entertainment and all. suv are wonderful also
+blue light thanks blue!
it's a nice ride indeed!
yes - the Durango rocks!
it's a sweet truck!
Please do a review of the ford expedition 2013
Good one my friend ;).
Nice job.
I'm only looking this up cuz my mom got a 2007 Acadia today (yes I know buying a 2007 in 2014) and I want to see what the 2014 is like BTW we had a 2000 ford explorer before this 2007 Acadia we got today the explorer was falling apart had leather peeling off interior was screwed up....SO 2007 OR 2014 I DONT CARE ITS A NICE RIDE TO ME NOW :)
enjoy the Acadia! :)

Tell your mom to get rid of her Acadia. The roof will eventually start to leak. Please do the research.
+andrea seibles Very true. My Acadia is paid off, but it is on its last leg. Water leaks everywhere
.
they are good for hauling peeps and cargo!
Thanks for this video rely I like this video so much me be more than Acadia !!!
thank you!
Oh yeah media mart !!!!!!

I'd love to! they look interesting!

My dream SUV
Is on my wish list !
I love my 2014 w dual sun roofs but I hate that I settled for cloth seats. Biggest mistake ever. They're terrible. Spill Water on them? Stained! Your a Blue jean wearer? -Your seat turns blue! Awful seats!!
I always opt for leather seats - except for my current car. I hear you.
funny - stop hating on the pups :) ha ha
funny - they do!
the gmc 2014 look so nice i love it
matt quiroga I do too!
almost picked one up last week. ok

Love this car. I drove the 2017 SLT-2 Limited Edition last week. The HUD is so fun to play with. You can see it here: ua-cam.com/video/l5X1R0Dg_Is/v-deo.html
LOL I hate minivans too.
***** they are the worst!

✅👍🏽
I won't be so pleased with engine noise + its not smooth on the road . feels like a mini-van >.< over priced
Has there been ANY vehicle you DIDN'T give a thumbs up to?
I hate Mini Vans, Station Wagons, and PT Cruisers
Plz dodge durango:)
Hamni Alnasrallah I did one a while back - search for it here on YT - I'll get a new one when I can! :)
