Stay Clear of GMC Terrain

Bought a 2011 GMC Terrain because I was looking for a good sized SUV... Paid over 20k for it and had to pump thousands more into it over the years. lol consumption issues, electrical issues, water pump and timing chain issues (timing chain is inside the water pump casing!!!), rusting issues around the hub wheels and bad on gas. Too big of a vehicle for a 4 cylinder to move. Stay away. One of the worse regrets I have ever had in purchasing a vehicle.

Picked up a 2011 5 days ago and have enjoyed it so far. Fit and finish are very nice. Haven't had a gmc since mid-90's but this is a real eye- catcher. Comfortable and yet easy to drive/park. Mine is carbon black with gray interior. Really strong look. I traded a GL 320 MB which was 2 years old and had 9 repair trips so I am hopeful that my luck on this will change. So far so good and I would gladly recommend this vehicle to anyone.

Love My Terrain

I had driven a 1996 Ford Explorer Sport until December 2010 when I bought the 2011 Terrain. I thought I would never find an auto that I loved as much as the Explorer Sport, but I was wrong. I love my Terrain!!! No, the gas mileage is not as advertisied, but that is the only issue I have seen, found or had.

The vehicle rides great, low road noise, smooth handling. But where is the great gas mileage. Just got mine and drove from Norman, Ok. to Springfield, Mo and got 20.7 mpg!!!!! Even though it;s not broken in yet it should get more than that. Spent the extra bucks to get the gas mileage but now...I'm still poor.
