Best vehicle I have owned this is my second

This vehicle has plenty of leg room in the back seat area. Great for traveling very comfortable. My gas mileage is better than what was suggested. I have had two, my first I leased my second one I bought. Easy to park, and to see all around you. I can't say enough about this vehicle. Love it!!!

Benn driving this GMC Terrain for a month

This GMC Terrain is a little smaller than my previous SUV. However, I like the way this SUV performs. I also like the Driver Information Center, it is easy to understand and use.

Great vehicle!

Only problem I had was a defective A/C part the first week I had it, but it was fixed jiffy quick by the dealer. A/C is nice and cold and handles our hot Texas summers very well. Drives great, really comfortable, good hauling capacity for my trips to the local home improvement store and garden center. Occasional problems with touchscreen technology, but not enough to keep me from loving it. Wish I had bought it sooner!

Thought I wanted it

I had a terain and went to an edge. I don't feel the same comfort as I did in the Terain. The smooth drive, handling, the comfort of the seats, the sound system, the leg room I missed it all. However, the trunk space is minimal, the engine is lacking unless it's a V6 but then the gas mileage is terrible on the V6, the doors feel cheaply made and the cabin size is greater on the edge. After test driving the Terrain again I was very happy with getting back in the edge. In my opinion the only things the Terrain has on the edge is the sound system, sportier look and better handling which is not worth it in the long haul!

Comfortable, spacious and stylish

The car does everything I need it to do, but there is room for improvements. This might have the worst infotainment system in the industry. I'm not super tech-savy, and I find this system to be very unfriendly.

Very nice car

This car meets all of my needs. Plenty of leg room in back seat as well as front. Comfortable seating. Heated eats in the front. Goes great on the highway, good on gas. Plenty of room to pack stuff for travel.

Best functionality, comfort and features for price

I love the exterior styling and the interior comfort of this vehicle, but what i truly love the most is the functionality of the rear seats and trunk. The rear seats can fold down like any other small SUV but what makes this vehicle different is the entire rear seat can slide back and forth to give more trunk room or leg room. In addition the rear seats can also recline making long travel in the back seats more comfortable. I wish the engine had more pep with a turbo but it is what it is.
