which do you think is better 2009 GMC Acadia or 2009 Mitsubishi Outlander?

Like "Stupid Flanders" said, comparison is hard when you compare cars in different classes. Advantages almost always favor the bigger ones. But in this case, I think the smaller one is the better choice. The GMC Acadia is not a bad choice since it's actually built quite nicely. Obviously, it's bigger. It's got 3 rows of seats. Plenty of room for the whole family. It's surprisingly quiet inside when driving the car-based SUV. Fit and finish is very good. The downside is that, the SUV has not been very reliable. It only gets 16 mpg in overall driving. And it's quite pricey. The new Outlander is Mitsubishi's gem after the Evo. It's been getting very good reviews from car magazines. It's very roomy for a small SUV. Third row seat is available only on the V6 version. The cargo area is large with a crafty cargo door and a little tailgate to facilitate loading and unloading of baggages. The 4 cylinder gets you 22 mpg overall while the V6 gets you 19 mpg overall, better than the GMC Acadia.

The Acadia is much bigger and much more expensive.
I don't like comparing vehicles that aren't in the same class.
The Mitsubishi is slightly more reliable.
Take a test-drive in both with the kids and see what you think.
Just a tip, though. When you decide to negotiate on the deal, don't take the kids with you. It will likely take hours, the kids get impatient, and you end up making decisions you normally wouldn't just to get out of the dealership.

I would rather buy the mitsubishi outlander, it looks better and the interiors made by mitsubishi are quite nice.
Its got great ground clearance and also all wheel drive and a four star crash rating perfect for keeping the occupants safe during a crash
Also there is no risk of mitsubishi becoming bankrupt, unlike the GMC.
But anyways its your choice.
Good luck in finding a good car!
