Thinking of buying the 2018 GMC Acadia?
CarmaCars rents cars and does not sell the 2018 GMC Acadia; this page helps you judge it before you buy one elsewhere. CarmaCars does not finance cars. Renting is not a loan, so there is no credit check to rent. For anyone shopping for the 2018 GMC Acadia, here are the facts that matter.
Recalls and complaints
Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent. There are 2 NHTSA recall campaigns on file; a dealer can check by the VIN whether each was done.
Engine and fuel
The 2.5L 4-cylinder is what moves it, with front-wheel drive. It runs on regular gas. With front-wheel drive, the weight of the engine sits over the driven wheels, which helps in winter.
For 300 km of mixed driving, expect about 30 litres, from its 10.1 L/100 km rating. At our price setting, driving 100 km costs about $15.66, and a 300 km weekend about $46.98. The EPA estimates US$2,900 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.
Who the Acadia suits
It suits a stretch between cars, by the week or the month. It suits winter trips and weekends with more gear than people.
Space, size and seats
An SUV body means more headroom and a taller cargo opening than a car of the same length.
Try before you buy
Rent the Acadia first, and buy only if it fits your life. Drive the Acadia on your commute before you commit to it. Try the Acadia on your commute, then decide.
Choosing the right one
Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first.
What it costs to run
The EPA estimates US$2,900 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $156.60 at our price setting. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary.
