Acadia, Traverse or Enclave- Are they any good?

[Duce4trey]

My wife's car is being totaled by insurance and we are in the process of looking for a new to me used vehicle. We have been looking at GMC Acadia's, Chevy Traverse and Buick Enclave. Wanted see if anyone had pros or mainly any cons to say about these choices.

We are looking at these because we need a 3rd row for the 3 kids and my wife would prefer to stay away from a mini van.

Research has turned up not too much. Possible electrical, cooling or transmission issues but I feel that could be with any vehicle.

My wife bought a Traverse in '14, kept it for two years and traded it in on a '16. No complaints. Great vehicle (it's not a Ford ) bwahahahaha! J/k all you blue oval guys.

Mazda CX-9 bro...

2 tweens, wife, mother and father in law , myself, plus luggage on a road trip...

Great safety reviews and 2 Adults Can Comfortably sit in the 3rd row

We looked at them a little.
Is the 3rd row really big enough for an adult?

3rd row seats 3 but yes 2 adults fit no problem if you adjust the middle seats forward just a little bit. The middle row is seated back pretty deep for EXTRA leg room

^^^ But it's not going to be like a full size Lincoln navigator or suburban

My Mother had a Traverse then an Acadia now has an Enclave.... She liked the Traverse and liked the Acadia better....She LOVES the Enclave !

Looked at them for my wife recently. Nice, but the 4 cyl ones, (in our price range), lacked get up and go. Ended up up with a Hyundai Santa Fe Sport, nicer vehicle than the others, (again, in our price range), got the 2.0 turbo, moves nicely. The full size Santa Fe has a 3rd row I believe.

We are looking used, and they are all V6.
I cant afford new and have a gun/ knife budget.

3 kids kills it enough as it is...........LOL
