The vehicle was a pleasure to drive. It was cheap to keep. Got good gas mileage. Too bad it was totaled in an accident.

A judge in Florida ruled in 2020 against GMC that the GMC Terrain with its junk Ecotech engine burns oil due to faulty piston rings! buy at your own risk!

BAD BAD FUEL ECONOMY

Do not "presume" that you will get anywhere near the sticker mpg with your Terrain. You won't. Our sticker showed 22-32 and we get 23.8. GMC is not "playing fair" by having EPA conduct the fuel tests so that lawsuits are avoided. Apparantly the only way to get close to 32 mpg is by driving between 48-60mph on a flat or slightly sloping downward road...If you are plagued by poor fuel economy with your Terrain, I urge you to call GMC and your GMC dealer and voice your complaint!

Had the car for less than a month when I bought it and the transmission jerked, oil was always needed, and it would just be a major headache. Cute little SUV but the cosmetics don’t matter when it’s not a dependable vehicle. Smh would not recommend to anybody.
