We do too (ours is 2014) and we hate ours. It's been a big headache and way to costly. Had to replace both rear shock absorbers and some related parts just 3 yrs after buying new - I've never had to replace shock absorbers in any car I've ever owned (~$800) Rear AC component failed ($1,200), new sway bar and front control arms ($2,000) to rid knocking sounds in suspension, headlight assembly replacement ($450). Warped rotor issues ($900) despite regular maintenance at dealership. And roughly $2,000 in other misc $500 repairs over a 5 year period.

Ours has only 50K miles on it and is only driven on pavement - as our family car. We would have never bought it if we knew it was going to cost us over $7,300 in repairs PLUS all the normal service maintenance costs (some of which run over $600).

I bought the seven year bumper to bumper warranty with car. It just ended. My Acadia has 40K miles on it and is a 2012. I had a lot of AC issues all under warranty. Would have cost a lot. Last wacky issue out of warranty by a few weeks it kept flashing theft and a few weeks below flashing traction control issue. Turns out when batter is near end of life starts this crap. Needed it towed in as shut off right on road and would not restart even with jump. After new battery clearing codes it left me stranded a few days later. This time guy forgot to reprogram keys which you need to do after battery changing and clearing codes. I barely made it back. It is something you can do yourself by running through pushing various buttons but I was stranded and did not know.

I like it a lot as how it drives. And up to a few weeks ago all repairs were like AC and stuff that did not leave me stranded. But yes had around 5,000 of repairs done under warranty. Some GM cars give really long warranties. I have a 2011 Cadillac that comes with up to a nine year extended warranty from GM. I bought it so I have nine years of paying no repairs. Lot of foreign cars wont go that long. Like my toyota which was bad as it gave no problems til year 7 and by then no warranty

We just saw a friend's new Subaru 3rd row with captain's chairs. I forget the model name, but it is sweet. Definitely would be my choice - we drove our Subaru Forrester into the ground a couple of years ago and really wanted a third row. Couldn't wait for the Subaru's version to come out and went with the Kia Forrester. Now I wish the timing had been a bit better, but if we drive the Sorrento another 5 years Subaru will be back on the list.

I know this wasn't one of your choices but we love our Subaru Ascent with captain's chairs. But we only have two kids. Most of the three row SUVs have pretty limited storage if the third row is in use. Would need one of those top of the car storage units.

What is a captains chair and what makes it so special?

The single seats that that can be in the second row. Makes it easier for people to access the 3rd row but you lose a seat without the bench.

Toyota Highlander or GTFO

Not an SUV it is on Camry frame, basically a car with a body that can looks like a SUV and not 4WD it is AWD which sucks

While most similarly sized SUVs of the time were built on truck frames, the Highlander was based on the Toyota Camry sedan chassis. Front- and all-wheel-drive versions were available with either four-cylinder or V-6 power, and a gas.

Agree on the storage. 3row suv was fine when we had 2 (and we have a qx60 which has more cargo space than many); now with 3 we are planning on getting a minivan. We rented one over the summer on vacation and couldn’t believe how much more space it had. Felt super cramped getting back in our suv.

Holy mackerel, I’m on my second Acadia (2011 and 2016) and other than a slight electrical issue with the first one they’ve given me 200K miles total with no issues.
