If you want a spacious vehicle keen for commuting this is it but don’t expect to be able to rev pass other cars in traffic

Was stupid thing to rid of this very beautiful car as was NOTHING WRONG with it. JUst after 3 years warranty had to be updated. I bought new, drove very little, was extremely happy with it. The most of times Terrain was kept in the garage, It was the BEST car, I could dream of it. I trade to Jeep just for more horse power. I'm pretty happy with new car, but miss my GMC Terrain every day.

This vehicle gave me great service with little trouble. Got super gas mileage peaking at > 34 mpg on the highway. Even though it had the 4 cyl engine, it was enough for my use since I didn’t drive a lot of highway miles.

MY THIRD TERRAIN!

Someone broadside me after 3 weeks of owning this car and I am driving a Cadillac. Horrible by comparison. Sold my others within minutes of letting others know it was for sale. Car holds it's value and I had it before it was popular. Elegant in quick silver which I needed to take around my clients-retro style is classy. The only problem I had, was shopping as a woman even on the Internet. Previously I shopped as a Latin male with no problem. The one GMC dealer in the northern part of Miami Dade County had me come in a fill out the papers for a car they didn't have and then wanted to charge me additional to get it. SO BE AWARE OF ALL DEALINGS.

Don’t buy 2.4 eco tech

GM knows this engine has problems! Go ask any small town mechanic. They will tell you. Cam shaft solenoid goes bad and you will then ruin your timing an on down the line. This all will cause a blow engine. I bought mine out after the lease 2 months ago. Well now I’m stuck with a $15k paper weight. Merry Christmas. ): I wish someone would have told me.
