2024 GMC Acadia Review - Giving Families the Most IMPORTANT goodies

[@wesvasher]

Are you sure there's no spare tire? On our 2018 Traverse there are nuts that hold that under floor storage compartment on, loosen them by hand and remove that compartment and there is a donut and jack under it. I bet it's the same on this Acadia.

[@KirkKreifels]

Thanks! I just checked. Underfloor storage has four screws. Once you take out the nuts, you have to take out the entire storage/floor compartment to reveal the donut and subwoofer! Appreciate it

[@stephen255]

@@KirkKreifels Others give you a can of fix-a-flat!!!!!! You're lazy ignorance is astounding!!!

[@clarelauer4169]

There is a spare tire

[@stephen255]

@KirkKreifels Look, think, read and watch better reviewers before posting a stupid, ignorant uninformed, biased review. State at beginning you are one of the sheep that does what everyone else does

[@mylifeislegendary982-hb3us-e9t]

​​​@@stephen255 you have posted 11 comments in one video like a out of control mentally ill person while posting misinformation and trying to lecture others about their children. KIRK gave a perfect review and YOU are mentally ill. So get a life you wanker and cockwomble 😂😂

[@petejansen7220]

I’m afraid of car washes,making fine scratching to the paint. Maybe I’m way too fussy ,I only will wash my vehicle by hand 2 bucket washing system. I also went as far as graphene ceramic coating which I applied several years ago and it shines way better then from the factory. Love your channel Kurt!

[@mrgurulittle7000]

I remember my first experience at an automated car wash. I think I was like 8yrs old, and I was frightened.😂😂

[@StephenByersJ]

One of the only reviews that show driving at night and headlight performance. Are the door buttons backlit as well?

[@mrgurulittle7000]

I like the Acadia. The same people who complain about reliability are those who then buy a Hyundai. LMAO.

[@FATmenDRIVEtrucks]

Both will be worth $10k in 5 years after you’ve spent $60k-70k with interest 😂. Suckers!!!

[@mrgurulittle7000]

@@FATmenDRIVEtrucksI never said I would buy one, SUCKER!😂

[@AdonaiNate]

Had a hyundai never had an issue with it, a 2013 hyunda santa fe had 280k before i bought a new car.

[@mark8684]

Yes but, Hyundai backs it up with a 5 yr/60k bumper-to-bumper warranty and a 10yr/100k powertrain warranty!

[@mark8684]

Oh, and Hyundai 3 yrs free maintenance and Bluelink remote services subscription free for life for original owner!

[@Dwizzle2023]

Nothing better than spending time with the fam. They will never forget these moments.

[@FlexRod]

Did they fix all their reliability issues? Consumer reports and other car experts say that they are a headache.

[@TheBjjones]

@FlexRod Consumer reports & other *so-called* experts also claimed that the Grand Highlander was reliable yet so far, it's not. 😂

[@KirkKreifels]

GHL could be reliable from a power train and electronic perspective... Once the air bags are fixed should be a pretty solid car.

[@FlexRod]

@@TheBjjones read what Kirk replied, it’s not a drivetrain/powertrain nor electronics issue which are the most significant. It is an airbag issue, which is still important because is safety however, this is the first recall of such for Toyota.

[@TheBjjones]

@@FlexRod A recall for a faulty airbag with no immediate fix in sight, along with the Grand Highlander's poor IIHS crash test results, are still significant issues no matter how you & the Toyota fandom try to spin it. Additionally, there have been other problems plaguing Grand Highlander owners (transmission issues, "cabin boom" phenomenon, faulty CV axles, etc) so the Toyota "reliability" claims Toyota fanatics love spouting for any & every Toyota vehicle are simply a farce.

[@MyLifeISLEGENDARY982........37]

​​​@@TheBjjones😂. Only in one test the grand highlander got a low rating. otherwise it got a perfectly fine rating in every other test. So stop posting misinformation. Air bag matter is not a Big issue at all. It's you who is trying to spin it 😂. Rest of your so called issues are either dont exist or something from a different vehicle then you are trying to put it on the GH . Only one who is a farce that's you Mr serial hater and you will have no problem justifying cars catching on fire/transmission issues or child labor by your favourite Hyundai. Yet you are attacking Toyota over a low rating on one test or about a air bag matter. You Hyundai fandom is truly pathetic and hypocritical 😂

[@nissanzenkiboy]

One lucky man. Glad you spend time with your family

[@chezzyperson3339]

What did you do to get invited by GMC for a test drive event that’s so surprising

[@slscamg]

328hp and over 8 seconds to 60 isn’t mathing.

[@djplonghead5403]

It is super heavy.

[@mark8684]

0-60 is a function of not only Hp but, of weight and transmission gear ratios. Larger vehicle means heavier weight. The 8-spd transmission has higher 1st and 2nd gear ratios than say a 9-spd or 10-spd transmission, resulting in slower 0-60 time. Also, turbo lag is contributing to the sluggishness off the line (the reviewer complained about this).

[@richardscott5155]

Family magical memories 🍀

[@stephenwierzbicki4463]

Kirk, what does Cassie think about the Dodge Durango (Base model)??

[@edysonegejuru4942]

Hi Kirk, would you recommend this GMC or Mazda CX 90 mhev. Please advice. Thank you

[@MikeForsythe]

This is really well done. Nice SUV

[@avdp9095]

Non descript design, beyond dull. Would choose a Grand Highlander anytime, despite being build in tge Usa

[@rbromm4009]

Great real review. The only thing I never see reviewed is the sun roof noise when opened. I know it has the usual screen type flip up wind deflector but nobody ever opens it. I have a 2016 Yukon Denali with a sunroof and the same flip up screen deflector and I can’t stand the extreme wind noise with the roof open above 20 mph. It is definitly the screen and if pulled down, the noise quits but the buffeting starts and your ears can’t stand it. I have read reports that the sunroof is quiet when open but nobody has demonstrated one yet. I am considering downsizing to this vehicle but still waiting to see how the first year goes

[@RockMiach]

Happy for Eve's new bike! haha

[@occckid123]

I try to get the one that has the rain x in it so when it rains it's much easier to see during a storm. The water repels right off..some of the lower ones also doesn't have tire shine.

[@devinjackson1298]

We live in 2 worlds for a 60k cobalt powered, plastic crossover, and i stay in America 😂. Its nice, but it is nowhere near worth the kind of money they're asking. And it still looks and seems to drive like a cheap rental. Chevy traverse and the acadia have always been throw away/ get by vehicles.

[@MyLifeISLEGENDARY982........37]

Agree

[@TheBjjones]

@devinjackson1298 Judging by your poor, unintelligible writing, I doubt you could even rub two quarters together to buy a piece of penny candy. 🤣 So, let's leave the real discourse to the educated, knowledgeable enthusiasts & consumers who can actually afford a mid-size 3-row SUV.

[@devinjackson1298]

@TheBjjones lol the truth hurts. What I said is so true, regardless of how I said it.🤫🤔

[@TheBjjones]

@@devinjackson1298 The only one who's hurt & in their feelings is you, which is why you edited your first response & replied again to my original comment. 😂 Furthermore, I don't have to "own" a 2025 Acadia to recognize it's the superior mid-size 3 -row SUV over the cheaply designed/built Grand Highlander/TX. Stick to texting on the public bus, as it's obvious you know very little about vehicles in general.

[@devinjackson1298]

@TheBjjones lol you jus don't know 🤣 😂. Nobody wasn't even talking to you. Edit

[@davidglad]

My Jacksonville brother has one of the earlier Acadia model years. Guess him not complaining about it means it's decent enough

[@kevinbarry71]

It's a typical General Motors vehicle, big, cheaply made, plastic interior, and an engine that will end up on the I do cars KZbin channel

[@djplonghead5403]

It has wood, cloth, leather, contrast stitching, etcetera. I don’t think you can call it plasticly.

[@DataFirstly]

I’m pretty sure the spare tire goes underneath the storage compartment behind the last row, you just have to release and lift the compartment

[@mark8684]

Comments and clarifications: It has a spare tire; it’s under the rear cargo bin. Agree with you the base Elevation trim is a very good value in the mid $40s; a lot of vehicle for the money. However, the Denali trim at over $60k is not and requires the following fixes in order to be competitive: 1) Need to fix the interior fit-n-finish issues. You pointed out some, there are others. It’s called poor “craftsmanship”. 2). Need additional insulation to suppress the 4-cyl engine noise on acceleration. 3). At this price, some obvious features are missing like rear door window shades, glovebox lock, and a button to both close the lift gate and lock the vehicle to name a few. 4) 0-60 mph time. It’s a function of Hp, torque, weight and transmission gear ratios. It has the Hp and torque so I’m guessing it’s the weight combined with high 1st and 2nd gear ratios of the 8 spd transmission. Honda Pilot is quick 0-60 because of the very low 1st gear ratio in their 10 spd transmission! Also, turbo lag is contributing to sluggish off-the-line. The German luxury vehicles seem to have solved this but, sadly most other turbo fours suffer from this condition. A hybrid electric motor would help resolve this issue and improve the fuel economy! P.S. - no reviewer has yet shown where the Homelink buttons or function is located. I’m guessing they’re in the screen software, like a lot of the other switch functions,

[@LeoTheShortGuy]

Cool

[@alexanderkajdi8117]

This Vehicle needs to upgrade to the 2.7 Turbo found in the Chevy Colorado and GMC Canyon pickups. Families want a 40/20/40 second row bench seating. Eliminate the Paddle Shifters because no one uses them. Bring back at-least a temporary share tire.

[@lettuce235]

I just checked the gm website and the Denali has a 18 inch spare tire all trims get a spare tire

[@brandontorres9870]

Brush car washes marred my paint so bad, Only touch-less and brushless for now on.

The spare tire is under the well storage 😅

I ordered the 2024 Acadia and it was delivered with 5 miles and an engine light on😡 air intake issue already! Love the car otherwise but that's just wrong.

*Acadia >* Grand Highlander

[@KirkKreifels]

Currently anything is better. GHL can't be sold lol

[@TheBjjones]

@@KirkKreifels Whether on or off the market, the Grand Highlander isn't a better overall SUV compared to the new Acadia, especially when you consider the more advanced technology, more upscale interior with better quality materials & the identical maximum cargo space of 97.5 cubic feet that the Toyota fandom & Grand Highlander owners love to boast about.
