bow slayer Posted May 18, 2011 Report Share Posted May 18, 2011 Does anyone have any first hand info either pro or con on this vehicle.It is the same as Chev Traverse,Buick Enclave,Saturn Outlook. My wife has decided that she wants to buy one in the next few days. I have searched on line but would also like to hear from someone who owns one ,knows someone who does or maybe even a GM tech. Thanks for any feedback. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scugpg Posted May 18, 2011 Report Share Posted May 18, 2011 (edited) I've been test driving lots of vehicles lately and if I were you I would strongly consider the ford edge in that price range. The 2011 has a really nice interior and power train. I'm not impressed with gm dealers or extended warranty pricing it's crazy...and I've always been a gm guy. if you do like the edge and don't mind diving to london area I can put you in touch with a great dealership. Also ford seems to be more accurate with their fuel mileage ratings. Edited May 18, 2011 by scugog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skud Posted May 18, 2011 Report Share Posted May 18, 2011 Just bought one for my wife a month ago. 2008 AWD with 92K on it for $22K. Base model. They can come with a lot of toys that pushes up the price. I think they are great and they rate well with consumer reports. Drives much nicer and handles better than the the Expedition we had.

She has it narrowed down to a Pathfinder,Flex,and the Acadia. She likes the GMC the most. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harrison Posted May 19, 2011 Report Share Posted May 19, 2011 (edited) They are nice rides. My bud has one, got a scratch duck hunting last year. I haven't seen him, he's probably still grounded. sorry to hi-jack.. Mattp33, find me a solid 02 -03 yukon/tahoe with 120 or so Km if possible.

cram Posted May 19, 2011 Report Share Posted May 19, 2011 Some of the early ones had issues with (a lot of) water leaking in through the roof. If buying used you may want to check on this to ensure you don't get a leaker. Or, wear your yellow slicker and rain boots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigdritchie Posted May 19, 2011 Report Share Posted May 19, 2011 (edited) The Acadia has a pretty good recall history, all things considered. There are a few things listed in Transport Canada's database, but nothing really significant. Edited May 19, 2011 by Craig_Ritchie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
