Used 2014 GMC Terrain Consumer Reviews

Too Hot, Too Bad

Well, the test drive went pretty well. That is because it was at night. I leased the vehicle for 39 months and then realized what a big mistake. There are NO vents for the air conditioning in the back seat area. Not even on the center console. NONE. And to make matters worse, if the ECO button is pressed, it makes the fan speed go slow so there is very little air flow. This has got to be the worst engineering mistake since the Corvair. Can you imagine the heat in South Florida and your passengers in the back seat are dying from lack of ventilation due to this engineering mistake. I could not imagine 3 people sitting in my back seat even though it does say seating for 3 in the back.

Great deal

Got this great deal on a previously leased vehicle. Was on vacation in Ohio and used it to travel around for about 1,000 miles before shipping it home. Really comfortable and drives great.

Fun fun fun

Love the car. The only thing I wish it had is a hands free lift gate. Handles great in the snow. Easy and comfortable to drive.

Drives like a dream

The SUV is quiet and rides smooth. I really appreciate the compass in the display, as well as being able to track my speed without glancing at the numbered dial. The car lets me know when something needs serviced, and it's comfortable and spacious. The adjustable front seats have a lumbar support if you wish to use it, and the ease with which you can adjust the distance your feet have to the pedals as well as toggling the steering wheel for maximum comfort and visibility is a bonus. The rear hatch has plenty of room for groceries, as well as a channel against the back seat to set things like gallons of milk and jugs of juice securely. All in all a very good purchase, and being a used car, still well worth the investment. It still drives like it's new.

happy

Nice reliable vehicle

Excellent alternative to sedan for 5

We choose the Terrain as an alternative to another family sedan to seat 5 comfortably. It achieves that goal. It also appealed to our need for more utility in terms of rear space for kid activities (soccer) and the towing package to handle a bike rack and other rack like extensions (basket). The vehicle is quiet, comfortable, powerful (we have the V6 - don't get sucked into the 4 cyl), and packed with features. That said, GMC did itself a disservice with holding back key amenities found only on the "Denali". It is the marketing joke of the century...read on...

great car

Still very happy

Onstar is expensive. Last year drove cross country, and very pleased with handling, power in the mountains with this 4 cyl, comfort, and fuel economy. Another trip this year to Vermont then down to the Florida Keys. Still very reliable and getting great gas mileage.

Never Buy American Made Again

I have a 2014 GMC Terrain Denali, V6, AWD. Thought I'd give the American built a try again after years of foreign quality. This new vehicle has 443 miles on it and the AWD system has failed and I have to wait 2 days to get it to the dealership. Unbelievable. Plus the American Car arrogance when I expressed my disappointment at the dealership of a new vehicle having this type of failure (during a winter snow storm) said "That's why we offer a warranty so we can fix things". Wow, what arrogance and audacity about your product. Although it said I should get 16 MPG city, I'm lucky to pull 12 on Premium fuel. Never Buy American Again!

Great Car!

Pro's: Good Looking, solid, great handling (even at Interstate speeds), quiet, lots of power, very smooth shifting, etc. Con's: Minor things that I didn't care for; Seats are hard and can get a little uncomfortable after a long ride ( I believe GMC has since corrected that problem). There is a bad Blind Spot in the roof post. It was designed like that in case of a roll over. Just takes a little adjusting and being aware of the situation. Other than these two items it is a great car, would & will purchase a new GMC. Down below when ask to select trim it doesn't give an option for Denali 4dr SUV AWD V6, which that is what I have!
