Thank you for such a detailed walkthrough - this is really helpful (even with the wind - which is not your fault!!) I am hopefully picking up mine tomorrow here in the States, but I didnt get anything as informative as this!
Well Supernova I'll have you know that depending on the circimstances this Acadia can be 90% RWD but its normally 85% FWD 15% RWD due to where the weight is in the vehicle so you have better handleing and control. Have you driven an Acadia Denali? It goes like snot...especially when passing at highway speeds, fun fun!
Why junk? Not based on our research. Let me tell you what JUNK is, my 2018 Chrysler Pacifica. I had to lemon law it because they could never work out the bugs and it spazzed out all the time and wouldn't run. I was stranded numerous times and once the power steering went out and the electronic stability control while I was on the freeway going 70 miles an hour. My cousin had one and hers would randomly open the back van doors on its own while her small children were in the backseat on the freaking freeway.
