Loosing Faith

2021 GMC Terrain SLT 4dr SUV AWD (1.5L 4cyl Turbo 9A)

I bought my SLT Terrain brand new in 2021. I love this car, well at least I thought I did. It took me nearly 5 months to find the car I wanted and loved. In the last 3 months I have had it at the shop twice for major repairs the fuel pump and now the the drive shaft. Yes it’s all covered under warranty but the car only has 20,000 miles. I bought a brand new car so I wouldn’t have to be in shop and had reliable transportation. Very disappointed!

I’ve had the GMC Terrain SLE for only about a month now, but I have to say it’s a pretty solid vehicle. It has a comfortable ride, it has very good gas mileage, and it has surprisingly a lot of room between the backseat as well as the cargo area. I traded in a BMW X.3, so I knew I wasn’t getting a speed demon, However , it does have decent acceleration, either city driving or highway driving. The only fault I can see in this vehicle, is it does have some massive Blindspot‘s, in the windshield pillars. Other than that it has all the functionality, technology, safety features I need. I am very happy with this SUV so far, I can see myself buying another one in the future.

Shifty Shifter

2020 GMC Terrain SLT 4dr SUV AWD (1.5L 4cyl Turbo 9A)

Test drove a SLT today, first vehicle with push button transmission shifter. Hate it. Don't like looking down to hunt for the buttons and feel of no vehicle control. Other than that loved it. They should have offering for non-push button shifter. Lost a sale based on that. Also, the seats were narrow and cramping.

Purchased a 2020 GMC Terrain from Curry GMC BUICK CADILLAC was very impressed with salesman JT. He sold me the GMC Terrain that was just as he described and explained all features in detail. The Terrain is very comfortable easy to drive with all the equipment you would expect from a vehicle costing much more. And on top of driving well I was getting an overall gas mileage of 32.6 and my best was 38.2 very pleased with my purchase of the 2020 GMC Terrain SLT

This car has a nice ride to it and has all the feature I wanted and more. I am having issues with the phone to make calls out. It says the SD card is removed. the dealership is going to take a look at it. Other then that its a great car.
