This is an SUV. Supposed to be suitable for sports and utility use, right? The materials in the cargo area need to be better suited for that use. Even with the factory cargo mat, burrs, dirt, sawdust etc impregnates into the surrounding carpet like on the seat back. It's like Velcro! Vacuuming only pushes it deeper into the fabric. The plastic in the cargo area dents and scratches too easily - materials should be more resilient. Inside of the tailgate should be faced with rubber not semi-hard plastic that is easily damaged. Mechanically this SUV is great. 11k mile and zero issues. Quiet, comfortable ride. Once the 4 cyl engine was broken in, it has adequate power for everyday driving. Controls are easy to see, Bluetooth phone connection was simple. Handle for tilting driver's seat is award to reach when door is closed. Very nice vehicle for road trips. When folded, rear seat has an angle to it which makes loading long items problematic. Should fold flat. I have to go to a side door and pull cargo the rest of the way into the area.

you will not be disappointed with the performance or appointments of the GMC Terrain. We drove a Tahoe for many years with children and pets, and looking for a downsize without the small car feel. THIS TERRAIN FITS THE BILL. I do not feel like I am driving in a small SUV, I feel comfort and space I did not notice in many competitors while test driving and comparison shopping. Again, I have been extremely pleased with our selection and looking forward to years of service out of our GMC.

Previously owned a Chevy Trailblazer, Jeep Liberty and most recently a 2009 Chevy Cobalt.. I knew I wanted a Terrain when I started looking at vehicles. I went to a local GM dealer and just wanted to test drive them. I have looked at them for a year and never drove one.. Went into the dealership, test drove an AWD 2016 Terrain and left with it that day. Absolutely fell in love with it. The exterior is beautiful to me. I love the bulky fenders and the hood on it. Being a 22 year old female, I wanted something sporty looking as well as safe for Ohio winter weather. The interior is super comfortable. GM really took their time with detail on this model. I love the red stitching in the seats. Touch screen radio and AUX in the center consul. This is great because I can hide my AUX cord when not in use. Inside of the center consul, there is a bright light that allows you to see when its dark out. I love that! The speakers are also great. I am someone who likes to play loud music with some bass in it. You can adjust your bass, tremb, etc. The cargo area is very roomy. I have a 100+lbs dog that stays back there when he is with me. I purchased a barrier off of amazon so he cannot jump over the back seat. Highly recommend that also! Overall winter driving.. Just had our first snow here in NE Ohio. Roads were wet and a little slick. I purposely tried to get it to slide at a stop sign and it would not. Handled great on the slushy roads!!! I think AWD is a MUST if you live anywhere it snows. I will own this one for a little while, but I plan on sticking with the GMC Terrain in the future. I LOVE THIS VEHICLE.

This is my first Terrain. When I test drove this car, I was actually looking at the Equinox' first. My wife liked the Equinox look but I liked the Terrain better. It looks more like a truck which I liked. The good of the car is that it is very comfortable ride- very quiet, good shock absorption, and comfortable seats with plenty of room for passengers and driver. The bad is the 4 cylinder engine is very weak. It lacks power which many cars normally have. It isn't imperative for me to have a ton of power so it works for this season of life for me but when I'm in high speed traffic it would be nice to have. You feel a bit like a turtle moving slowly along. That being said, it's a good car for a small family looking for a comfortable cruiser or someone who doesn't need a lot of power.
Great buy
