Each of the Acadias we tested were the eight-passenger versions, meaning they featured the sliding second row 60/40 split bench seat rather than the standard buckets (opting for the bench knocks $495 off the base price). Generous amounts of leg, foot, and head room are pluses, and while we appreciate the knee-friendly curved front seatbacks, we wish they were covered in soft fabric instead of hard plastic. Seat bottoms are too short and flat. Ample outboard headrests work to support and protect vulnerable noggins, and padded door armrests ensure an added level of comfort. A fold-down, padded center armrest includes two cupholders but sits too low, and when it's folded into the seatback makes for an uncomfortable back rest.
