First let me run down down my list of vehicles, in order, leading up to the Terrain : Lexus IS, VW Touareg, VW Passat, Infiniti G35, BMW 335D, Terrain. I traded in the BMW (40MPG and a lot of power). I wanted to get back into an SUV, as I missed my Touareg the most. I did some poking around, some test driving, and ended up at GMC. I've never bought American and I'm so far thrilled with my purchase. The one thing I miss, obviously speed and pickup, is easily justifiable by the comfort and convenience of my car. I bought the SLE. There's no nav, and it's missing some power options that I really don't need (seats that I'll never change and a sunroof I'll never use). The entertainment system is great. I just plug my phone in and everything I want to do I can do verbally through the car or my phone. Play Spotify, Navigate here (I use Google maps off my phone and it projects very nicely on my display), Text my friend this, etc. The design is sleek, the interior extremely comfortable and the ride incredible smooth. Go give it a test drive, you wont be disappointed.

In looking at purchasing a mid-size SUV, I found a lot of options in this category. Ultimately, I purchased the 2018 Terrain, and there is plenty to love about this vehicle. The price is very competitive. It seems GMC gets it, equipping this model with the 1.5L Turbo 4cyl. It gives you fuel economy of 26 city for commuters and errand runners like me, with the power available to make quick lane changes in traffic. I test drove a 2011 Terrain, 2016 Rogue (too peppy) and a 2015 Terrain to purchasing. The SLE base model comes well-equipped, only missing power seats and roof rack. Enjoy push start ignition/finger shifters/a fully revamped Infotainment system which allows you to place calls while driving with ease to your stored Favorites. There is privacy glass in the back windows. The back seat is spacious and equipped with reading lights. The rear cargo space is about 32" deep, so luggage and duffels fit with ease for travel. No CD player but a USB for music stored on a flash drive. The Terrain looks elegant and classy; the interior is quiet and the ride is cushy. The auto stop doesn't bother me at all. I love this vehicle and look forward to many years with my 2018 GMC Terrain. I'm almost at 2500 miles, and pick up my license plates tomorrow!

Bought this Terrain new July of 18. My wife loves this vehicle. Trouble free so far with great gas mileage and a pep in its step. Upgrade included the 2.0 liter engine and driver convenience package 1 not found on LS models. Update: 6 years under the carport now with a little over 34000 miles, still trouble free other than a battery . Great little machine. Update:6 months shy of 8 years now. 42000 miles now and still trouble free. Replaced tires at 40000.

Terrain surprisingly fuel efficient

I bought the SLE and had leather installed by my dealer, so glad I did, gives it a more luxurious feel. Most of my driving is on roads that avg between 40 and 55 mph and my Terrain is getting about 33 mpg, really surprised. It handles well and as a everyday driver is efficient and in my opinion much nicer than my previous Escape. Overall very pleased and hope to enjoy this vehicle for many more miles. However, I will say the My GMC app sucks and doesn't work very well, but that's not the vehicles fault, the app is just not reliable.

The redesign is unique and took a bit to grow on me, but I rather like it now. The interior design is a little truck-like, but certainly not offensive, and the materials are very nice. The electric driver's seat with lumbar support is exceptionally comfortable, and among the best I have ever experienced. No more back aches with this car! The front seat warmers are an added bonus. I've got the base 1.5L turbo engine which contrary to some reviews is plenty quick, even fast, very responsive, and quiet. The 9-speed automatic transmission shifts smoothly, almost imperceptibly, and never hunts for gears. I've read some negative comments about the button gear selector for the automatic transmission , but I quickly got used to it and now I like it. The car offers a smooth, quiet, well controlled ride over all surfaces. Braking is excellent. I have no complaints about cargo capacity, however I seldom carry much. The front fold-down passenger seat is a handy and unique feature that permits transporting 8 foot lumber for example. The car performs like a champ around town and on the highway. I've been driving my GMC Terrain SLE with optional convenience and driver's alert packages for 15 months and I have nothing but praise for it. I absolutely love this car!
