    We have a 2010 Acadia that we love, except quality wise it's a POS. Anyone have a suggestion? We need 4 or AWD and room for 7.

    I work at a buick gmc dealer. i will say the 2013 acadias are better overall, but the enclaves are superior. Especially inside.

    Of course the MSRP's are different.

    When you're talking used, the prices aren't so different. Don't believe me? Head to CL/eBay

    Then this is apples and oranges we're talking about
    Then i guess it depends on if the TC is looking for new, leasing, or used. What his price range is, and what exactly is he looking for in the SUV.

    I googled the Acadia before I bought it but didn't find the info that's out there now. What a POS. They go through oil like a horse through water. I think i ran the think out of oil. No warning. One guy went through 3 quarts in 3200 miles.

    I know someone who has a Tahoe LTZ. around 17k for 7x,xxx miles on hit. It's nice and stuff, fits plents. If you're looking towards the newerish side, i still recommend the Enclave. Chevy also has the Traverse

    Enclave and Traverse have the exact same motor and trans as the Acadia, which is junk. He won't want either of them.

    Acadia uses some pos engine. Traverse offers the lfx engine. Which isn't a pos.

    They all use the 3.6 motor, there isnt any other option for engine.

    Its the LLT.

    Chevrolet Traverse - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia, note the related vehicles at the bottom of the box on the right.
