Car Reviews

My sister has an Acadia and loves it. I drove it a few times the last time I saw her and was impressed. We had four car seats in the car and 4 adults - a little cramped but safe.

Hi Christina,
Have you heard of the radio talk show, CarTalk on PBS radio? they are on Sat/Sun from 10-11am in the bay area. They have a great website (cartalk.com) with tons of info and car comparisons. I used it to help me decide between 2 cars a couple of years ago.
Best of luck!

A friend of mine has the acadia and loves it! It has a lot of room and is very comfortable. Also very safe. She has a daughter.

I have a Saturn outlook which is equivalent to a GM Arcadia. After extensive research and test driving I found that the Saturn is safer, cheaper, nicer, and has better service and quality. I love my car 2007 outlook... Good luck

Hi there, my husband and I bought a 2008 Acadia in November and I love it. I had driven a Saturn for the past 7 years, so moving up to a big car has been quite a change, but a welcome one. The rear window is fine to see out of. The one thing that I notice is when looking over my shoulder to change lanes, it's hard to see smaller cars in my blind spot, but the mirrors come in handy for that. We have all the bells and whistles too and it's just an awesome car. I have no complaints at all!

GMC cars are junk. Want it in the shop a lot? Do that. Hyundai are pretty reliable but personally, I would never drive anything but a Honda or Toyota especially with children. That is what I have done for years. Never regretted it. Honda Pilot or Toyota Highlander great cars and just the right size. They have them in Hybrids too. Really, don't sacrifice your safety and reliability for price. Good luck. Don't forget to ask for the Internet Manager when you call. Can get better pricing and bargain a lot. You will do well.

I have a friend who just bought the Acadia and is happy with it. She was also looking at the Saturn that is the same as the Acadia, I believe it is called the outlook. I think either one would be better than the Hundai. GMC has a better following than the Hyundai. My husband who is into cars liked both the Saturn and Acadia. Good Luck.
We just got a new Honda van in 2005 and really like it if you are looking for a van possibly.

Sorry no,but volvo wagons have the third row seat and are the best car for safety....more spendy but last longer and are very comfortable......do research

Hi, Just a thought. I recently bought a new car and after lots of research settled on a Mazda 5. Its like a "mini" mini van- gets great gas mileage, plenty of room....you might want to check it out as well.

Hi there Christina-

Consumer reports has rated the 2007 models of each a 75 out of 100, but made the GMC Acadia a Consumer reports best bet. My husband is in the car business and I know he says the reliability & resale of GMC is better than the Hyundai, so my vote is for GMC! Happy car shopping (=
