Chose the SLT AWD with V6 3.6L option. Leather and everything but driver memory feature. Extremely comfortable to drive, V6 has great response. Only observation is down-shifting when coasting around corner then up-hill; seems to hard shift but learned to work the pedal differently.

No air vents in the back seat. You have to freeze in the front in order for the back seat to have air. HOT HOT HOT...IT IS AN SLT. ITS NOT THE CHEAPEST TERRAIN. BUT IS IS HOT IN THE BACK.

Oil burner! Avoid!

2.4L Ecotec engine consumed 3 quarts of oil in the first 3600 miles! Oil minder read 87% life, yet when I checked the dipstick before a trip it read no oil. Added 1 quart still no reading, added 2nd quart, still no reading, added 3rd quart, dipstick read 1/2 to full line. Engine requires full synthetic "Dexos" spec 5w-30 motor oil. GM has known of the issue with oil consumption of this engine for many years, has issued a Technical Service Bulletin requesting dealers to document excessive oil consumption, then authorizes installation of new pistons and rings. 2011 documented as worst model year. Uninformed owners running the engine low on oil are not warned of the deficiency, the engines timing chains and guides fail, the lack of lubrication takes its toll on bearings and parts depending on sufficient oil to cool and lubricate them. Engines can fail or seize creating a significant safety hazard. Internet search this issue, many horror stories. If failure occurs out of warranty or you are the second owner you are on your own...Where is the outrage?

The extremely aggressive rebates that applied to this 2017 model totaled almost $6000, lowering the purchase price significantly, about 20% off sticker. While not an option listed above, this was a 6-cyl SLT. After a test drive, the 4-cyl just didn't have the power needed for this truck. To put it plainly, the 6- cyl eats gas. The fuel mileage is so bad you'd think you were driving an 8-cyl. The other complaint is that the center console controls are a bit of a stretch, the nav system could be simpler to operate and the only USB port is buried in the center console. Also, as soon as you plug into the USB, the audio source changes, which stinks if you don't want it to. The source also changes on its own the first time you change it back to where you want it. This is very annoying, but my daughter's Chevy Cruze does the same thing, so it must be a GM thing. Besides issues, the truck has power, room (especially headroom), is comfortable, has good cargo space, and a generally sweet interior. It's a great ride, and we're very happy with the deal received, but maybe a little less so than when we left to the showroom.
