Used 2014 GMC Terrain Consumer Reviews
Looks good
In the 2014 GMC Terrain, there is no heat to the back seats. Back windows fog up in winter & passengers freeze. The front passenger's seat is to high. My husband is 5'10" and he's just inches away from roof and it difficult to get into as there is no power adjustability to this seat. Road noise is what you should expect in a mid size suv, Which is pretty loud. Gas mileage is not what I though I should get from a 4 cylinder. I only get 2 more miles per gallon then I did from my 6 cylinder Jeep latitude. If I had I known all this I don't think I would of bought this SUV. Even though I love, love the style.

2nd Terrain, buying a 3rd one now
This is our second Terrain (2011 & 2014). They have been the most trouble free vehicles that we've ever owned. Not even considering any other vehicle now that we are replacing the 2011 with a 2018.

Freezing in rear seat
I really love the style of this vehicle. As I describe it as a boxy look. Buy being boxy it gives you more head room in the cargo area when putting in and taking out cargo. I also like the split seat in the back. Very convenient when hauling long items. Interior is very nice. Love the leather interior with heated seats. There are 3 things I really dislike about the Terrain. #1) The heating system is not what it should be. I have to set the heat between 76 & 80 and having to keep switching the settings back and forth from windshield to feet. Does not make for safe driving, also makes it hard to listen to the radio at a normal level or have a conversation. There is no heat to back seat area, other then the heat from the front. Believe me this is not sufficient to keep the rear windows from fogging up all the time & roasting those sitting in front. #2) is the lack of adjusting the passenger's seat up and down. My husband has a very difficult time getting in and out that side as the seat is set to high. #3) is the gas mileage. It's a four cylinder with eco. I get 2 more miles per gallon then I did with my previous car which was a v6. It's sluggish on highway when trying tp pass other vehicles.

GMC Terrain SLE-2
Very comfortable ride & seating. Quiet ride. Great sounding radio & phone connections when needed. Only have 5,000 miles on the car. Four cylinder engine is somewhat anemic, but adequate for my type of driving. My other car is a Jaguar XK, thus statisfying my need for speed.
RUST and exhaust
I have had issues with rust spots everywhere! The back metal gmc and under window had to be replaced and repainted with in one year. My whole exhaust system went to crap and the dealership wanted 4000 just for parts to replace the entire thing because of where rusted hole was located. I had it cut and welded, dealership said better to go with original pieces it would last longer, my husband told them obviously not considering it was 6 years old at the time. Warranty even though it was under 100k miles was void for both since it happened at less than one month after. I see ALOT of terrains with rust around same spots. Fyi, its not covered until it goes completely through. Sucks in snow also unless theres weight in back. I paid it off early so i could spend more on fixing it, oh and heres the kicker. My exhaust sounds like crap again. Yay.
