Love it I don’t know where all the bad reviews come from cruises all day at 75/80 cozy seats got the AT4 all options but sky scraper roof this is Quiet no wind noise fit and finish is A1 not as slow as they say it is well spent $41 grand so many options I still find new ones every day only complaint is the foot operated rear hatch works once in a while and maybe the center stack may be a little 90s

Terrain AT-4 Sharp!!!!!!

I bought my 2023 Terrain in October 2022. I had to stop at my dealership and my lease was just about up and I was researching the Terrains, because I really liked the looks of them. they had just got some in and one really caught my eye and a little while later I was driving it home. It is loaded, sunroof, heated steering wheel and little touches that I just love, and the black out wheels!!!! I have not one complaint on it and the 1.5 Turbo engine is peppy. I am a older senior citizen and my Terrain AT-4 makes me feel young again!!!!!

Comfortable,easy to drive, lots of interior room. Front fold down seat is great. Put a 6.5 foot table in and closed rear door. No complaints . More than meets needs. My second Terrain.

I think they hit a home run with the body style interior is clean most controls are easy to use.The one complaint I have is the push button shift it is awkward to use and you need to look at it to shift go back to the stick.

Transmission failed after 1700 miles

Everything worked well for a few weeks until the transmission failed. After two weeks of being in the dealers shop, they still can’t tell me if they can even get a new transmission. Poor quality and service for such a nice looking SUV.

Doesn't like deep snow

I love the car in the sense that it's great gas mileage, looks sharp and drives nice but if you drive through a couple of inches of snow, the snow sticks to the inside of the wheels and you end up with a horrible shake. Poor design on the wheels. Also, the tires that come on the vehicle are horrible! It's unfortunate that you have to purchase snow tires on a leased vehicle. Vehicles sold in the Midwest should come with better all season tires otherwise, you are sliding all over the road in the winter, very scary!

I think the shift buttons are dangerous

Hit your head getting in or out. Hit your head on the rear lift gate. It’s not hinged high enough. No adjustment. Annoying. Made for a 5 foot tall person. Rides good and has a nice base interior Looks nice with blackout grille and wheels If you pay attention 9th gear is rarely used. Even at higher speeds. Low speed pre ignition gears I’m guessing. Shift buttons are not intuitive. I consider them a hazard compared to the conventional lever. Really stupid. Had this thing almost two years and still don’t like it.

A pleasure on the highway and can do moderate off-road exploring here in Colorado.
