Love my 2010 Terrain!

Love the Onstar that GM offers with ALL their cars, and LOVE the looks of my Terrain! It is roomy, has plenty of storage, and I have had NO problems with it. I would buy another in a flash! Only problem is the gas mileage - I get ony 24.5 mpg, but that is mostly because I live in Maui, and we don't have any freeways to drive here. So it is ALL stop and go travel. That being said, I would still buy it again!

car that is safe

I love the GMC Terrain, it is one of the best cars I have ever own. The starting price was a little high but I don't regret buying it.

Great small suv for the money

My wife loves everything truck look and has a lot of options bought the SLE2 V6 great stereo. The gas mileage could be better average city highway 18mpg.

Smaller SUV Quite Suitable

We originally were looking at larger SUVs but found that the GMC Terrain was quite suitable for our smaller family (of 3). Ours has leather and DVD player as options. The camera view when backing up is a nice feature as well as the back seat that moves forward and back. The only real issue is that it does not have great gas mileage.

Comfortable Small SUV

I have the AWD version of the GMC Terrain which I bought to replace a Honda CR-V. I wanted a little bigger but otherwise was very happy with the Honda. Wow, after driving this, I realize it is very much more comfortable riding and everything is just great...except one thing. I'm disappointed in the mileage...supposed to get around 30 and only getting about 22 and now have about 3K on the car. Except for this, highly recommend.

The little SUV that COULD!

Great car. After test drive I was impressed by how quiet and smooth it was. Bought the SLT-1 AWD with a few additional options. Great gas mileage for an SUV. Not as high as advertised, but getting a comfortable 18 doing primarily city driving so I am happy. Favorite features are the Sliding rear seat. SOOO Much legroom for our family that has many members over 6 feet tall. Would definately reccomend. I have owned the car for over 6 months and so far... NO problems!!!

Long Time Since I Bought A New Car

It was time for a totally new vehicle with all the bells and whistles; and I have definitely not been disappointed! I also wanted a larger vehicle, but wanted better fuel economy. Most SUV's cannot deliver the fuel economy, but 32 mpg highway is hard to argue with.

best car yet !

Two month's and 3000 miles , just love it. 6cyl. fwd so far about 22mpg city 26 hwy on average, plenty of room and very quiet. I have an slt2 black on black and get many complements, kinda wierd to be sitting at a light and have people make you roll down your window to tell you they love the look of your suv.

Great Smaller Sized SUV

We love the functionality of SUV and the Terrain with significantly better mpg than the competition along with GM's On-Star system and moderately pricing makes it a vehicle to seriously consider. Fun driving, good sound system but no built in garage door opener(?).
