- Reliability (2)Early models are notorious for expensive mechanical failures, particularly involving stretched timing chains and transmission wave plate issues.
- Maintenance (2)Maintenance costs are high due to the frequency of repairs and the labor-intensive nature of servicing the Acadia's complex powertrain.
- Technology (2)While it featured premium options like a Bose sound system and ultrasonic rear parking assist, the infotainment system is primitive and lacks modern connectivity.
- Comfort (4)The SLT-1 trim provides a very quiet cabin and plush leather seating; the third row is surprisingly spacious enough for adults compared to rivals.
- Dynamics (3)The 3.6L V6 offers decent acceleration for its size, but the Acadia feels heavy in corners and the 6-speed transmission can be slow to downshift.
