Best car I ever owned - this is my second one!!

The Terrain not only stands out for it's looks, but it drives great, is dependable, comfortable, offers great features, and is decent on gas. I loved my first one so much that I got a new one. I did look at a few other vehicles, but none in the same class even compare. I have owned almost every make of car out there and the GMC Terrain has been the only one I ever considered owning a second time around!

1st Terrain - could not be happier

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.

Leasing my 2nd terrain and I love my car. Road noise is a problem could be much better. Seats could be softer. Tires might hydroplane on wet roads a little. If GMC upped the quality a little it would be perfect. Gas mileage around 26mpg. Engine not gutsy enough on pick up. Love my car. Don't think any car is perfect

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?

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.

We got this suv to drive our grandson in a car seat. It was roomy and comfortable at a good price. I liked backup camera but I thought it lacked a little power. We only had it for a year and we only drove 4,000 miles, then traded it in. I liked the body style. It was a nice little suv.

I have the V6 version, which Edmunds seems to be denying the existence thereof. It is something of a necessity. Now I have a neighbor who has the new model with the woeful 2.0 liter 4 cylinder, in an SUV that tips the scales at just under 2 tonnes, yeah right. We did a friendly little drag race on a deserted road, 1/4 mile. I not only beat him to the other side, I could have ordered a pizza in the meantime. There is a reason why they kept saying bigger isn't always better in the adverts (GMC makes 20 ft long trucks), it is pathedic. Now back to the good one. I once drove this on a mountain road in northern Arizona, it reminded me alot of the Golf GTI with it's quick revs and steering responsiveness. Bearing in mind it has awd, 301 bhp and is a bit bigger and higher off the ground. It is only let down by it's diminutive gearbox which is unmodified from the standard car which has roughly 100 less hp and +-80 less torques. The gear ratios are far too close together in 1-3 for this power and you will be switching between 4 and 5 like a teenage girl changes shoes on prom night, 6 is good though, long torque band and silky. With that being said if the gearbox was borrowed from the Camero, where the engine came off, it would be roughly a second faster to 60 and have another 10 mph to play with. Then your talking more about a BMW 3 series in terms of performance. Now how about the way we would enjoy this power and manuverabilty. This would likely be a family car and would have to spend the majority of its life on the school run and going to the store and back. As such it can't have a jaring ride or no space, or sound like you are under machine gun fire on the highway, alot like that 3 series. It is quite easy to live with everyday. The ride is subtle yet resosive, I can read the road with my tires but it doesn't break my back. There is enough room in the back to take a dog for a walk so it should hold your 2.3 children nicely. And if you fold down the seats, which can be done with one hand, there is enough room for a sizable pool sand filter. As far as noise level, it is rather well insulated, even into triple digits there is little in the way of vibration or road noise, the aggga from under the bonnet (it is not a hood!) on the other hand is not operatic but has a few good notes in its vocal range. If you get the interior in white, it is a rather pleasent place to be. Yes the tech is a bit dated and if you are short reaching the satnav screen can be a challenge. But on the whole, it is good enough. It doesn't wow you with tech but we're not asking it to be mission control now are we. We want it to tell us where we are, play our music, let us talk to our friends and tell us how soon we are going to back into the curb behind us. It does all that, what more do you need? Bottom line, it looks good, goes faster than anything else in its class, can carry a family, and is reliable as a wood burning stove. At the beginning of the Edmunds article, the author wondered why it was so popular after 8 years running, well, read above. There aren't many of these left at the time of this writing, if you see one new still lingering in a dealer, buy it just buy it you won't be disappointed, unlike if you bought the new model. Seriously GM, if it ain't broke don't fix it!

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.

I changed jobs and needed a car fairly fast. I saw this car on the lot in what appeared to be a good deal, $23,000. By the time I was out of there, my loan was $28,000. For $28,000, I could have gotten a great Honda or Toyota but I wanted to buy American. There are some great American cars out there but not this one. My fault for rushing. One of the reasons I liked it was the exterior design. I like the tough front end which looks like a truck front end. The 2018 looks like every other mid-size SUV. Bad mistake on GMC's part to change the styling. Here are my problems: 1) it sounds like a tin-can when you close the doors. A little injection fill of some sort should have fixed that. 2) biggest problem is the seats are tilted up ever so slightly (bottom portion) so it is causing major pain in my right leg (probably sciatica) I've spent hours trying to get just the right position and nothing works. It lifts your leg just enough to be uncomfortable. I looked on line and others have the same problem. I called GMC about them adjusting it somehow mechanically and no one really cares. Not possible. So I had to buy a tacky seat cushon and I'm hoping that works. You better make sure the 2018 models don't have that slant. I was in my buddy's Honda truck this weekend. Ahhhhh. The pain resided. 3) the salesman told me the radio was the latest technology; that I could play my iphone through the radio, pandora, etc. I spent hours trying to figure it out. I called 2 dealers, I called the technical hotline. I stopped in a dealer twice. No one could help me get it working. I was told by the technical line that my model, S1 radio does NOT have that option. To replace radio would be $1500 or more. Finally after wasting all that time, I found a special adaptor that allows me to play pandora, etc. through the car radio. How could no one know that. Meanwhile, its a great big hassle because I can't charge my iphone and use this adapter at the same time and there is NO other adapter that works. 3) the headliner is like paper. it has ripped in 3 places and the dealer won't fix it even though I have the "interior" warranty. What a joke. I've owned and driven company cars for 40 years; at least 20 different cars and only a used Grand Prix in about 1983 had a torn headliner and it was probably already 10 years old. 4) The seat covers are cheap looking and it ruins the overall interior design of the car. The little holes in the fabric catch food and other things. 5) I'd trade the car in tomorrow but it appears in just nine months, I'd already lose over $10,000. Its KBB is $17,153 so I'm stuck with this lunch box for a long time. What a joke.

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.

Read the Damn , car books & try to get decent understanding about car use & operations. Looked for newer car that tried to compare in gas millage. This SUV, was not bad. with an inline 4 & econ. setting but my Toyota Solara , still beats it with a V-6 & rides better drives better, & gets better millage.--But it was stole 2x in week. So got wife a small SUV. This was 1 of better choices I could actually afford to pay for.

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.

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.

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.

Check out getting in and out of the front seats. Don't expect your rear seats to fold down all the way. It is snapy and it saves me money over the V-8 I had before! We still don't like the fact that the rear seats wont fold down Flat. GMC is selling the 2018 Terrain cheaper than we had to pay for this 2017...

When traveling on snow covered roads, all the rear lights become snow covered. Was almost rear ended due to following car unable to see any brake lights. I drive back country roads delivering meals on wheels and have to constantly brush snow off all brake lights. Very frustrating. I noticed that the Chevy equinox also has this problem. We added mud flaps, no help there. Turning ratio is large, turns like a semi. Hard to maneuver in tight parking places. Air circulation has musty smell have to change filter every 6 months. Will not purchase again.

DO NOT PURCHASE VEHICLE OR ADD-ONS DURING FIRST VISIT TO DEALERSHIP. Do not purchase add-on contracts and warranties from dealer at time of purchase - do homework on value of add-ons to you as buyer and research experiences of other buyers with these add-ons such as LUXCARE, 3 for 1, extended mechanical warranty, dealer service contract, etc. Do your homework before puchasing: Determine value of your trade-in, determine MSRP for the vehicle being purchased - GO TO EDMONDS BEFORE GOING TO DEALERSHIP. Take a younger friend with you who hears well, thinks quickly and is not easily pushed or intimidated.

I have the V6 SLE-2 AWD version, and its pretty good. I will say that its Interior is nice and the back seats are roomy as well, the cargo too after said seats are down. Fairly smooth 6 speed transmission, Smooth drive, but lack luster turning in my opinion. But the premium pioneer sound system is always nice but the infotainment center can be hard to reach at times. Overall I love my terrain but if you want more Horsepower opt for the Denali trim.

This SUV is small inside and is not child friendly. The doors are extremely heavy, so my kids cannot open them on their own without the chance of losing a finger. The air conditioning is the absolute WORST! It only has control in the front so the front passengers risk frostbite in order for the back passengers to have any air at all. The cargo/trunk space is very narrow and small. There is hardly any leg room, so tall people beware. We leased the Terrain because we were looking for a small payment and liked that it looked like a mini Yukon. If it wasn't for the deal we got, we never would have went through with it, because I am so disappointed that I have been trying to get out of my lease since month one. There are better options in small SUVs than this.

I had to select SLE-2 SUV AVW (2.4 4cyl A5 because they did not have the V6 in the list but anyway, we bought a 2017 GMC V6 SLE AWD Terrain with only 51000 miles in January 2022. Right from the start I saw this is going to be one of those cars. The power steering was noisy and after taking it back to where I bought it three times and to a GMC dealership who apperantly replaced the PS pump and a pipe, it is better but even my 2007 minivan has lighter PS than this car. But my biggest issue is the fact that there are no more navigation updates for this year model. What am I supposed to do now. What is the use of seaching for months (because of the vehicle shortage) for one with NAV just to find out a fe months later that the NAV is useless to me. Not sure if anybody else have a acceptable solution for this.

Bad news engine light went on not even 5 minutes later while driving suv engine running completely stopped as I acelorated from 5 to 10 mph. Couldn’t go in drive or reverse. Got stopped in the middle of the road. Used my on star to call for help. They sent racine sheriff to block traffic so I didn’t get hit. On top of the GM suppostly fixed this problem a year ago it did the same thing. They need to put a brand new transmission in not just keep replacing part by part. There is major issues.
Comfy and quiet ride, but oil issues.

We have owned Terrain for 2 years, bought with 27,000 miles on it 80,??? miles now. Very quiet and comfy ride, don't like the confusing control panel too many distracting buttons. Christmas day driving home from relatives noticed an engine noise. Pulled over and checked the oil, none on dipstick although we had oil changed 3 days prior. Oil dripping into puddle underneath car. Had car towed to dealership next day and had to have engine main seal and pcv valve replaced. DEALER SAID THIS IS A FREQUENT PROBLEM with these vehicles. They said the pcv valve was carboned up and in colder weather they can freeze causing excessive pressure to build up in engine and blowing the seal. Also the 4 cylinder is very under powered.

GMC engines blow up

I loved my GMC Terrain until the engine blew up out of nowhere despite regular maintenance and very low kms. I tried contacting GM Canada as well as the dealership I purchased the vehicle from. They confirmed they are aware of this being a common problem with their engines and have not issued any sort of recall. Two other local mechanic shops also advised me of their defective history and advised me a new engine will likely result in the same issue. The cost of an engine replacement for this vehicle is essentially the value of the vehicle. Despite knowing it's an issue they refuse to rectify the situation. Do not waste your money with this company; they do not care if they are screwing over their customers.

I leased a new 2017 GMC Terrain and just turned it in. Was thinking about buying it out for the residual price but was upside down on it by around $4K. Not a great choice. Thank goodbess for leasing.
Worst gm product

I like the driving experience but hate the unreliable engine, had to have it towed 3 times , the last time cost me over $3500. Timing chain snapped causing bent valves….only 60.000 miles. Worst vehicle I ever had.

I purchased this vehicle and it was the worst mistake EVER. It's had transmission, engine, battery and alternator issues. I've had to have engine work done multiple times, just in the last 2 years have spent almost $9k on repairs. Finally just got rid of it. I just couldn't keep putting more money into it.

I've had my GMC, which I purchased new, almost 8 years this December. It's been an absolutely awesome car for me in terms of comfort and reliability, as well as the affordability of the price I purchased it for. I haven't had one single problem in the last almost 8 years. Certainly, that will eventually change, but I could not be happier that it's given me zero problems in 8 whole years. It's also SO roomy and very, very comfortable, even for plus sized or tall individuals.

Bought with the intent to “trade up” but before even driving off the lot my check engine light came on. The first week I had it it died twice on me due to a “bad battery” (I’m suspect it was something else but I’m not the expert). For a suv I expected more horse power, just overall more. Connectivity with my iPhone sucks and has gotten worse. Other random electric related glitches or twitches that have resolved themselves after a few days from happening. It brake checks me when I use cruise control with absolutely nothing in front of me!! Terrible pick up on the highway. It is a smooth ride with a nice interior, I have leather seats. All this with less than 4 months of ownership. If it didn’t brake check me I’d stick it out but it’s the main reason I’m trading or selling back as soon as I can.

V6 has great pick up. Breezed through the Appalachain Mts a couple years ago. Spacious front and back seats. Someone 7" tall could easily fit! Handles great in the snow. Just over 70k miles no issues at all. Highly recommend !!
