If you need the kind of cargo and kid space usually provided by a minivan, the 2012 GMC Acadia SUV will come as a pleasant surprise. The GMC Acadia's styling avoids the dreaded stigma of Minivan Mom (
If your automotive needs occasionally require you to venture off prepared roads and onto muddy logging trails or rock-filled paths, or tow more than 5,200 pounds, a GMC Yukon might make a better choic
Because it's built from a single unit body (as opposed to riding on a frame like most full-size SUVs), the 2012 GMC Acadia delivers car-like ride and handling characteristics and an ultra-quiet cabin. We found the 2012 GMC Acadia's steering to be nicely weighted and very responsive. The vehicle exhibits some body lean under hard cornering maneuvers, but the Acadia's ability to retain its grip on the road surprised even our most seasoned test drivers.

"I have owned several SUVS including the Durango, Yukon Denali, Honda CRV, Toyota 4Runner, and most recently Cadillac SRX. The Acadia Denali has all the features of these others, plus has much more room and gives a MUCH smoother ride. I would definitely purchase another one if I were considering trading. The only con that I have is the same one I have with all GM products I have owned, that is the integrity of the paint. I'm probably too picky about my vehicles, but seem to always have trouble with light scratches in the paint, in fairness it's black."

"I am a truck kinda moma. No vans! I wanted a Tahoe and my husband pointed out the Acadia. I said I would look at it, knowing I wouldn't like it. We had a Ford Explorer, and with 4 kids, we were running out of space. After looking at and test driving the Acadia, I was in love! It has way more room for the kids and in the cargo area than our Explorer or Durango (before that) ever did! I LOVE IT! I had to give up 4x4 for the luxury of this vehicle, but it seems so worth it! It doesn't have the turning radius I would have expected, but it still isn't bad! That is the only con I can come up with! Great vehicle!"
