I recently joined a car pool and need to buy a bigger car. I've been wanting to anyways for awhile. Does anyone drive an Acadia, and how do you like it? I love the ford explorer limited but it's pretty pricey. I'm not huge on mini vans because we drive to Utah in the mountains so i need four wheel drive. thanks mommies

What can I do next?

We have a Toyota Highlander, LOVE it!! The only thing is the trunk room really stinks. We have a 2013, but I think the 2014 has a bigger trunk. Should have waited a year!

I LOVE MY ACADIA!

It drives beautifully, is easy to park and is a very comfortable ride. The back seats fold down so easily, and it really has a lot of versitile space.

I have the second row of captains chairs (which I prefer), but we looked at one with a bench. It was fine, but it didn't offer any additional seating space (you could only fit two on the bench), so we went for the chairs instead.

I would highly recommend this car! You won't regret it!

Acadia or Traverse. Can't go wrong with either one.

I have a Honda Pilot that I absolutely love. I don't need the room anymore, but it served me well with three rows during carpooling years. It has 200,000 plus miles on it and I've never had one problem. I'm going to drive it until the wheels fall off.

We have a 2014 Kia Sorento with a third row of seats. We love the car and the price point was perfect. We are not minivan people.

I had an Acadia and loved it. I seated like a mini van but drove like a car. I really liked that the 2nd row of seats were captains chairs so those who were going to sit in the 3rd row could get back there easily.

LOVED!!!!!! my Acadia! I would buy another one in a heartbeat!! We recently upgraded to a Suburban for more space. But, I still love my Acadia!!!!

My SIL has the explorer and hates it. She hates that everything is touch screen--even to change the radio station or a/c setting. She's trading it!

Also look at the Chevy Traverse. Practically the same vehicle for a little less money:)

One of my friends has 5 kids and she drives a Nissan Armada. She is really happy with it. I do not need a car that big.

Another friend with 3 kids has the Acadia. I have never heard a complaint. She can take other kids with carseats in her Acadia.

I know 2 people with Acadias and both are really happy with them. I have a Nissan Pathfinder, newer one with the 3rd row, and I absolutely love it! This is my second pathfinder. I had my first one for 10 years and I have had this one for 5 years and hopefully for at least 5 more.

I have the enclave which is the same as the Acadias. I love my car. I have two kids who's car seats are in the two captain seats. When I get there friends it's so easy for them to walk through the middle. I love driving it.

I don't know if it has three rows of seats, but I've heard good things about the Subaru Forester and I think it was one of the SUVs of the year in 2013.
