Buy a six cylinder. This is a bad ass looking vehicle but the four cylinder doesn't cut it. When merging onto the freeway and pressing the gas pedal firmly it makes all of the right sounds but doesn't actually do anything. I am disappointed in that. The test drive was in a semi-congested city setting where pep doesn't matter so it was wasn't noticed. It also has a fairly wide turning radius which surprised me. I traded a Honda Pilot in for this Terrain. The Pilot was much larger but had a smaller turning radius. As much as I like the looks of this car I rate drivability low. The interior is appointed fairly well and everything is easy to work but the lack of pep distracts from that. The seat are comfortable on long rides. It is a great vehicle for driving around town but isn't really a joy on the freeway.

I drove thhe crv, rav4, escape, none of them compare! The terrain is much quieter, more stylish and nicer riding. I just returned from a 5000 mile trip and got over 30 mpg. The best i received was 40.1 mpg!

I had an accident yesterday with my GMC terrain. Someone in full speed sent me right into a truck. The car is a total loss after the crash. But I am alive and this is a miracle. All the airbags worked perfectly, the shock was absorbed completely and I don't even have a scratch. Everybody agreed on the scene to say that this car is well none for keeping people safe in those situations. Despite of that, I had fun with it. It is reliable and pleasant in every way. I recommend it for the comfort and the safety.
