The 2009 Acadia is a 4-door, up to 8-passenger sport-utility, available in 6 trims, ranging from the SLE-1Former import only buyer. Picked Acadia over Acura/Honda/Toyota due to easy 3rd row access and size. Interior plastics (dash & door panels) not up to scratch compared with competitors, but fit and build quality very good. Top marks for comfort, ride, power and looks, but can be thirsty around town and was quite expensive. Chose SLT2 with 19" wheels, running boards, flaps and roof bars....heated & cooled seats, double sun roof, Nav & DVD bringing total to just under $50k. Overall very impressed and happy with my purchase . FWD to the SLT-2 AWD. This SUV/X-over is the way to go when transporting ~5 adults and luggage under 500 miles. This vehicle is agile on both city streets, as well as long stretches of highway.
There's plenty of head and legroom for all but the tallest NBA stars. The interior and options have been well thought out.
I think the GM offerings yield a much better value than the imports ... GM has a winner with this "next-gen" SUV
Upon introduction, the SLE-1 FWD is equipped with a standard 3.6-liter, V6, 288-horsepower engine that achieves 17-mpg in the city and 24-mpg on the highway. The SLT-2 AWD is equipped with a standard 3.6-liter, V6, 288-horsepower engine that achieves 16-mpg in the city and 23-mpg on the highway. A 6-speed automatic transmission with overdrive is standard on both trims.
