"I owned a 2010 Terrain SLT2 and loved it so much, I decided to try out the 2013 Terrain Denali. IN LOVE! They both are incredible vehicles and I love them both. I would recommend the Terrain to anyone that wants a great SUV that comes at a great price. You can't find anything out there to match the value of the Terrain. With that being said, both of my Terrains were/are 6 cylinders and that is definitely the way to go. My 2010 was mocha and my 2013 is quicksilver. Both beautiful colors. So....if you are in the market for a great SUV, look no further than the GMC Terrain. You will not be disappointed."

"What can we say that is not special about this vehicle? We love this car so much more than all the others we tested that it is surral to say the least. The 4 cyl has plenty of power to pull our boat and great gas mileage. Thr navigation screen is eazy to use and we also like the heated seats. Terrains are everywhere and now we know why. Enjoy we will for sure."

"I have owned 5 SUV's of different sizes and manufacturers. Each one has the buffeting effect that is described above when the windows are down. I even notice it is addressed in the owners manual as something that will happen. This is just the way it is, no big deal. I suppose it is simply a result of the common SUV profile. Perhaps there are some that do not have the effect? I have the V-6 Denali and absolutely love it."

"The comfort is amazing. Lot's of headroom. The highway fuel economy is amazing. I average 27.5 over 70 and 29-31 MPG when I drive between 55 and 63 MPH. The heated cloth seats are hot within a minute. I can drive this Terrain for several ours and feel great on arrival at my destination. I have the 4 cylinder and tow my drift boat and it tows great! I feel great about having a 5 year 100,000 mile warranty Powertrain Warranty too, even though I've had no issues, it does give you peace of mind."

"This car is fantastic and fun to drive. Love the heated seats and heated outside mirrors. One of the neatest features is the fact that the second seat can be moved forward or backward for more leg room as needed. Everyone is amazed at how much leg room they have in the back seat. Back seat can also recline a bit for comfort. Love the OnStar especially for navigation. All around a super car. This is my second GMC, I still have my first which I have been driving for 12 years. If my new GMC is as reliable as my old one I will be more than happy."

Great Car until you roll the windows down

"We love the styling and performance of the 2013 GMC Denali Terrain, and were fully satisfied with it until we tried to go for a ride with the windows down. A faulty design creates such an air pressure "womp-womp" noise, that as you build speed past 45mph it gets physically painful on the eardrums. While our is a new vehicle, it's not a new model to GMC. The service manager at my local dealership was aware of the problem. It's unfortunate that GMC isn't making prospect Terrain buyers aware of the problem so they can make an informed decision."

"I love the look and feel of the 2013 Denali Terrain, but you can't drive it with the windows down. With the windows down, you get a womp-womp noise that gets louder as you go faster. Over 45mph, the noise is so bad it actually hurts your ears."
