4 cyl has plenty of power, great ride, nice to drive 23-24 miles per gallon, plenty of room in back seat and seats lay down if hauling something

Remote state, fuel pump, condenser, heated seat, those are all the features I had to replace before 50,000 miles. Rebuilt engine, because drive chain was under a recall and it warped and destroyed my engine, all they paid for was for the recalled part, all before 70,000. That set me back $1,700. It is the nicest, worst car I have ever bought. It looks great, and has great features, but if your car isn't running it all defeats the purpose.

just HORRIBLE! my wife always wanted a GMC, because they are supposed to be a heavier grade vehicle than the Chevy. We have had nothing but problems... recall after recall, which the dealer seemed unprepared to deal with. Now, at about 80K miles, the transmission crapped out...to the tune of $1,400.00 she has received letters about the Lemon Law, but does not want to go through that hassle. Back to Honda and Toyota for her the next time!! She is now in the process of going back to Honda, where she should have stayed in the first place.

7 times in the shop first year

I thought I was exchanging a 9 year Murano that was needing it's 5 transmission (which was still under warranty and was no longer reliable as something I could depend on, wrong! This 2011 terrain has been in the shop 7 times for a total of the same 3 problems. 4 times for cutting off and cutting out on me, the lift gate made loud noises when it got hot and finally after 5 times in the shop in which they told me unless it makes the notice when it is in here you will just have wait until breaks, well it did and came down on my head. The air stopped working last summer twice while it was in the high 90's you could turn it back on after about 20 minutes and it would work again.

GMC competes with foreign SUVs and holds its own!

Do your research and make a list of what you expect , before you get to the dealership. ask questions about why a financial institution was chosen, over others.
