Used 2011 GMC Terrain SLE-1 4dr SUV AWD (2.4L 4cyl 6A) Consumer Reviews
15k later
2010 SLE 1 Terrain. I couldn't be happier. Unlike some other unlucky owners my Terrain has performed exactly to spec. My mileage(If I drive under 65mph) hovers right around 27mpg. If I drive over 70 then I get around 24mpg. Around town I am getting 18-20 Mpg. The only issue I have had is my lumbar bladder needed to be replaced. Of course this was a typical GM design error meaning that the replacement was much better. All in all I have no complaints. It's a nice 4cyl. car. For those of you that don't know about the ecotech engine. Try cruising at about 75. I think you might be surprised at how the car feels:)
2011 terrain terrible
This is the worst car I have ever owned would never go with a GMC again and once you buy it the dealer doesn’t want to help with a thing everything that could go wrong has new engine new transmission and still has issues

Big mistake
Major transmission issues. The car died at 7,000 miles; the transmission had to be replaced. Even with a new transmission Im still having issues with the car shifting gears, it stutters frequently. A new problem since the transmission replacement is that when the low gears shift, it appears that something is rubbing and its loud. Since its a new model, the techs at the dealership cannot diagnose the problem. I regret buying this car and would not recommend to anyone
I could have bought the repair shop!
I have had my Terrain for 7 months. In those 7 months I have had 2 major repairs which have caused my vehicle to be in the repair shop 5 times. Three of the five times I have had to have a rental vehicle (luckily I only had to pay for 1 rental). This last one included a tow of the vehicle to the repair shop. These two major repairs are KNOWN defects by GM, per consumer reports. The oil consumption issue with the engine was a known and recognized default by the manufacturer. GM paid for the repairs and my rental, but I was without my vehicle for almost a week. Transmission failure is the second major repair and is covered under my warranty (NOT BY GM). Repairs have taken longer than a week and the warranty only covers a rental for 7 days. Again, I am paying for a rental for repairs to a known defect. I may not be out thousands of dollars for each repair at the point of service, thanks to the purchase of my warranty up front; but, the frustration, time spent handling the repairs, and concern for safety during my break downs on the road is ridiculous. I really like my car but I think it has been in the shop almost half the time I have owned it!

Absolute Junk!
High-pressure fuel pump was recalled, as was the catalytic converter. Now it's burning oil and needs new rings says the dealership. Most recently when you start the car exhaust fumes pour through the vents. Although the car is good looking and has a comfortable interior and lay out, mechanically, the car is a nightmare. It has horrible pick up especially with the air conditioning on. And just the other day the A/C compressor died. Not I have to invest $700 more in to this car. Replaced the catalytic converter and whole exhaust recently as well. Big mistake buying a Terrain!
