I have flex fuel in this vehicle so I can use ethanol if we run out of gas

I wouldn't trade this vehicle into anyone at any price it is the most comfortable turns on a dime doesn't use a lot of gas I get almost 23 miles to a gallon around town and that's very good for an SUV I haven't had very any mechanical things to go wrong only the usual stuff as it ages and I will not trade it in at any cost

No comment

Too many problems , worked for GM for 31 years, try to support the product, and buy the badge. This is not the average repair history for a low milage car , had it since new , live and learn and pay....

Needs GMC ATTENTION!

This, just like it's sister, the equinox is a very nice car. Handled well, great on gas. Just right for the busy mom and errands. BUT, this car has MAJOR concerns I believe GMC is ignoring! From electrical to engine, this vehicle will fail you, as it turns into a money pit! Thank GOD for warranty! Do you research BEFORE you purchase this vehicle as there are MANY articles on the problems consumers are having or have had with this car. Assumed perfect pick for a family and local use, but BUYER BEWARE! I am disappointed GMC has not recalled the EQUINOX and this TERRAIN and based on the experience with BOTH vehicles I've personally owned, I am looking to GET OUT of my TERRAIN agreement and considering going with a vehicle NOT created by GMC!

Not too happy about my GMC Terrain

I’ve had more problems with my Truck ? in 2 years than that have with my Honda Accord that I had for 13 years! It’s just too much things keep happening! Soon as I fix one thing, something else happens!?

Worst possible experience

My car needed a new engine shortly after I purchased it as well as a new battery, muffler and brakes. The key broke off in the ignition so had to pay for another key to be made. I am always skeptical about what could go wrong next.

Gave the model a second try..

This is my second Terrain. Love the Onstar safety features. My first one was totaled when someone ran a red light & sheered the front end back to the tires. I walked away from it on my own. Unfortunately this one has the same engine issue as my first one. It uses oil (burns) more than any other vehicle I’ve owned.

Nice car

I will purchase another Terrain. I would rather have a Yukon but the budget says a Terrain. I had a used Yukon and loved it but due to a wreck it’s history. I also hate it because my heated seats went out and it’s too expensive to fix. ?

Like new

Running and sounds like it did when BRAND NEW. I fell in love with it first lade eyes on it and took it for a test drive. I actually like the body of this model more so than the newer ones. My wife drives it more than she drives hers. That tells you all you need to know.

Terrible quality

Less than 100,000 miles and I already have engine and transmission problems, so the build quality and reliability are horrible. The exterior styling is probably its strongest point. The console design leaves much to be desired. There’s no place to even put a phone mount.

GMC Terrain

Very comfortable and GREAT looking, it handles well and you are able to see well, very roomy and if we were to replace it, we would purchase another one. This is my wife’s truck and she loves it and she looks Great in it.

Great Vehicle.

Bought this car with 68,100 miles on it and it is the best car I have driven. Took sometime to find low mileage, V6 and AWD Terrian. Gas mileage is good, drives good have had no problems with car at all

Car performance

My car bumps forward without any notice. I took my car back to the dealer several without them fixing the problem. The cars has a nice design and I get compliments on the color. But at the end of the day the performance is what is important. I would not recommend purchasing this vehicle.

Will have lots of problems

Loved this car at first. Was reliable & felt safe. Once it hit 100,000 miles, it just craps out. I understand the high mileage & wear-n-tear, but it’s ridiculous with this car. I’ve never had a car have so many problems in such a short amount of time. It’s no longer reliable and does not feel safe. I’m constantly waiting for the next thing to break.

My review is directly related to my 2012 GMC Terrain. I brought my vehicle as a certified used purchase.I’m please of my selection which I still own, and may consider upgrading to a later model somewhere down the line.
