The 2016 GMC Acadia: before you buy
We are a rental company, not a dealer, so there is no 2016 GMC Acadia for sale by us right now. We are not a lender and do not arrange loans. A monthly rental can cover the time while you arrange financing with your bank. This page puts the 2016 GMC Acadia in plain words for buyers: what it uses, what to check, and how to try one first.
Recalls and complaints
NHTSA lists 4 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace.
The numbers in plain words
The engine is the 3.6L 6-cylinder, with front-wheel drive and a 6-speed automatic. It runs on regular gas. With front-wheel drive, the weight of the engine sits over the driven wheels, which helps in winter.
The EPA rates it at 13.4 L/100 km combined, so a 300 km weekend uses about 40 litres. A weekend of 300 km comes to about $62.31 at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$3,700 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Good uses for the Acadia
It suits someone whose own car is in the shop for a while. It suits visitors who want a familiar car for a week in town.
Space, size and seats
Being a full-size SUV, it handles luggage, strollers and sports gear well.
Drive it on your own roads
Drive the Acadia on your commute before you commit to it. Try the Acadia on your commute, then decide. Rent first, buy later: a week with the Acadia answers the big questions.
Narrowing it down
Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires. A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it. If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first.
What it costs to run
A 1,000 km month costs roughly $207.70 at our price setting. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary.
Next step
A rental request is free; the offer shows the full price.
Rent it for a week before you buy
A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. Rent a 2016 GMC Acadia from us first.
