It really is hard to believe that four years has elapsed, but it has and today I return what has been a very good vehicle. Yes there were a few things needed to be fix here and there and a recall notice or two, but the only out of pocket expense has been the brakes. Not bad with slightly over 70 thousand on the dial.
I really like the Acadia. I like the size, the utility and even the gas mileage. What I am going to miss the most though is OnStar. Buying the minutes costs more than what you pay for cell phone usage, but you can't beat the convenience. And that plus the peace of mind that comes from having it there, makes it very worthwhile.
Yes it has aged and the suspension is getting a little loose and the tires are almost finished, however it has stood up well and come to think of it I never did have to replace the windshield. Couple of chips that were filled but never had to replace it. That's a first.
Didn't always need the third row seating and so it spent most of the time folded flat so I could carry the many other things that needed it. Great to have it though and convenient to get at and use. GM did a good job developing that system. Folding second row was handy too with a few trips to the dump with materials from our renovation.
Regrets? Just two things come to mind - wish GM had made some cosmetic changes to make it look a little 'newer' and that they would have also got back into leasing across the line. Would have gone back if they had.
