I've owned quite a few cars in my 40 years of driving and I am loving my 2011 Terrain the most. My husband and I are probably a salesman's worse nightmare when it comes to going over every detail, however the Terrain excels at all and for the price you can drive the vehicle loaded up with a more comfortable ride than the Cadillac version. We test drove both and I found the Cadillac to wallow on the road, struggle and scream on the highway for lack of power and the Terrain is as smooth as silk. I've owned Grand Ams, Mustangs, Firebirds, Monte Carlos and bang for buck this is as close to I'm probably going to get to an Escalade. Can't think of a thing I'd like to add to it.

I bought this vehicle in April 2018 and here it is September 2018 and I have had it repaired 4 times it has stopped on me multiple times while in the middle of driving with all three of my children in traffic. I have had the water pump replaced and 2 sensors replaced. This vehicle will get you and your family killed from it randomly stopping while driving anywhere.... 😡😡😡

I wish I had known about this website before purchasing a 2011 GMC Terrain. This thing is a lemon. I bought it at the end of June 2017. I made two trips from Southern Ilinois to North Carolina. I also made one trip to Nashville, TN. These long-distance trips were relatively uneventful. Ever since then it's been one problem after another. The Accelerator sensor needed to be replaced. Then the throttle body went bad which made the engine go into 'Reduced Power Mode.' That means you limp along at 20 mph. After cleaning the throttle body,(easy to remove in the 4 cylinder) it would drive around town with no problem. But on the highway, it would go into reduced power mode. If you pull over, shut the engine off, wait a minute or two and restart it, it would be fine for a short while and do it all over again. The dealer wanted $400.00 to replace the Throttle Body, but I found one for less than half that and replaced it myself. Then the catalytic converter went bad. At least GM warrantied that, but while replacing it, they found the exhaust manifold was cracked. I'm waiting for a phone call to find out if the extended warranty I purchased will cover that. One word about the extended warranties the dealerships offer, DON'T. They aren't worth the paper they're printed on. On a positive note, we get around 30 mpg highway and an average 23 mpg for both city and highway.
Love this SUV

My family decided on Terrain because we wanted something smaller than our gas guzzling crew cab truck. We went with the Terrain SLE-1 because it has a great safety rating, had all of the features that we wanted, and our local dealership is very well regarded. So far, we are not disappointed. The four cylinder is nothing spectacular, but it does the job in a very hilly area. Driving in eco mode, we get less than the listed mpg, but we typically see 20/25/30 for city, combined and highway. The interior is extremely comfortable, and the cabin is well designed. We love the sliding back bench as well.
