GREAT VEHICLE FOR FAMILY OR FUN!

I have owned my Terrain for 4 years and I absolutley love it! I have had no problems, all recalls were minor and fixed easily and quickly, and it's a great fit for my family of 4. Would highly recommend this vehicle for a small family or single couple.

Nothing but issues

It has had several issues that all seam to be random but leads to a systemic failure of the design. The drains for the sunroof clogged and sent water down the door posts and into the dash area and controls. The dash display is constantly faulty. The dash lights and sensors come on and of with faulty information. The tire blow out and the side airbags deployed. GMC is not responsive and or concern about any of the issues.

Solid Sport Utility Vehicle

This car met all expectations. The comfort and style were superior. The All Wheel Drive model has incredible handling in all road conditions. The 4 cylinder version of this vehicle lacks performance and acceleration but provides enhanced efficiency. From camping to commuting, this vehicle can handle.

Gmc terrain awd midsized suv

I like how roomy it is yet it's only a mid size suv. It handles great on snowy or icy roads. The rear view back up camera is great

Second Terrain, love this car!

Meets all my needs, my family loves it, the kids have a lot of room. This is my second one. I love the V6 engine, it's great on gas and has a lot of safety features.

Very reliable

Very reliable vehicle. I purchased for my wife and 3 year old because of safety and AWD feature. Surprise on how much room in back seat / cockpit.

DONT BUY

Don't buy huge faulty engine issue (excess oil consumption) that the owners are not notified about and GMC will not honor the special warranty issued on it.

Terrain a great car for a beginner family

This car was great when we had one kid. Once the second kid came along it was time for an upgrade as the backseats are too small. Sometimes the small engine makes it hard for the car to go uphill.
