Pros

I love this car it shad been perfect for me, I know have a son who is driving so do not have to pick him up at school and am ready for something sporier as our other car is a SUV as well. It is very roomy, comfortable but not so big that you cant move around in smaller parking siutations, Would be great for both moms, or men young or older.  Has a sharp look, the Denali package is extremely nice.   

Cons

Well I like a V8 some may not, gas prices being high, that would be the only negative. Hopefully they will be going down. It is what it is.

Sporty But Sophisticated For The Outdoorsman, To The Soccer Mom. — I loved the way it handles, has good power, comfortable seating. Interior has held up extremely well, the back has lots of space for weekend travels or shopping trips, to taking sporting gear to practice. The exterior always looks nice the running boards keep it sporty and sleek. The wheels are in great shape no scratches and or dings.

Best Car I Have Owned...even Better Than The Volvo Xc 90! — This is a fantastic family car. More leg room than my Mitsubishi Montero, Jeep Grand Cherokee or Volvo XC 90. Simple design and loaded with features. Couldn't believe how much I got for the money. GMC has some of the most comfortable seats available, I am disappointed with all of the other comparables in this size vehicle. Plenty of get-up without feeling like a beast, ride doesn't feel like a truck, and amazing maneuverability including turning radius (a pet peeve of mine). Truly a great car!

A Upper Level Suv For The Guy That Likes Quality Us Built Automobiles. — This is the SUV for the guy that likes quality US built Automobiles. My overall rating is 5 stars. The Vortec V8 is undeniable and the comfort is second to none. I would not hesitate to purchase this SUV again.

Ok To Buy And Drive — Acceleration good, braking poor, handling OK; not as tough feeling as my Xterra. Like the looks of it, in and out. gas mileage could be a lot better. i enjoy driving esp after i put a new stero in it.
