1986 Pontiac Acadian Reviews, Pricing & Specs

Price tag of $8,000 new. 5-speed manual, 4 door hatchback (with fold down rear seats) is roomy and can put a lot in the car. Simple car and easy to maintain. At the time in 80's, a lot of highways in Canada were single lane, so you had to occupy the oncoming lane in order to pass the car in front of you, so you had to accelerate further back in order to get up to speed before passing. Excellent gas mileage. Why cant they make a simple car like this with 50MPG today ?

There is nothing to dislike about an Acadian. They dont die. They take good corners. Nice and compact for a family. Considered a classic. There was only one probalem with these cars and that was they never die. I say if you find one get it, its a good old fancy sunday driver.
