I bought junk

I bought this vehicle thinking I was doing good, just another screw up in my life. After 2 months vehicle running weird, there was no oil. It burned it all.up. the recalls are from 2010 to 2013 for oil consumption for GMC terrains. Of course mine's a 2014 so I got screwed again

6 cyl awd 2014 gmc terrain

great in snow and rain, accelerates like a sports car, best crash test ratings, comfort, quiet, can't say enough about this amazing vehicle. I would buy another just like it, with the six cyl engine and awd. If you only drive a four cyl, fwd, you have not experienced the awe built into this machine.

Loved this car

This car was very comfortable, reliable, and cost efficient. It required very little service other than routine maintenance. We were looking for updated technology and increased seating. We formerly used it to tow behind our previously-owned motorhome.

Right next to the Suburban the crapiest vehicle.

While I enjoy the room and the fact that the buttons seem to be exactly where they need to be, it is expensive for the options it has, the engine is grossly underpowered in the 4 cyl. version, sounds like a lawn mower even with regular maintenance, and the transmission is completely toast with under 65k on it. Just to add insult to injury the paint on the rear gate is bubbling up in several spots ...laughable. Worst quality and workmanship I have ever seen.

Love the look, inside & outside and handles great

Vehicle has all the nice extras - USB port, Bluetooth, heated & memory seats, navigation built in, etc. I love the vehicle and it looks real sharp.

GMC Terrain

It’s a perfect suv for me and the kids, very spacious and comfortable, smooth ride and fuel efficient, looks great and plenty of cargo space.
