Stop start Horrible

This car has stop start, the engine stops every time you come to a full stop then restarts when you take your foot off of the brake. There is a brief hesitation when excellerating, there should be a when to shut this off. I hope GM rethinks this, on future models.

First vehicle with less than 90,000 miles.

I love my Terrain. Currently it's at Axelrod Collision getting repaired from being rear ended. I just made my first payment yesterday and it took all of my strength to avoid doing something dumb. But I'm alive and its being fixed thank the lord.

Love this car!

This is a fun car to drive. Plenty of legroom in the backseat. Good rear cargo room. Love the Apple car play. The exterior is sleek and looks good.

2.0 AWD is awesome.

Huge improvement over 2015 model. Better ET in 0-60 than stock 1970 Corvette. Average 25 mpg for 250 hp engine. Can carry 8' boards with front seat down and closed tailgate. Dashboard gearshift buttons takes me back to '59 Plymouth. Pushbutton keyless start takes me back to '48 chevy dump truck.

Love my Terrain!

So many creature comforts in my 2018 GMC Terrain! Great styling, easy to drive, easy to be spoiled by all the extras. Looked at Chevy, was going to lease an Equinox; Terrain has them beat by a hundred football fields. Dealer was terrific, accommodating, and generous with my trade in. Love my Terrain!

A RIDE TO DRIVE FOR!

My car is fairly new to me. I had it about three weeks now, so have not really had a chance to put my feet to the metal...lol. I still have to learn the many many features that it offers. Although I paid a bit more than I would have like too, I am Blessed to have been approved for a loan, because of my pass history. THANK YOU GOD!

My 2nd time purchasing a terrain

I love my terrain! I was in a wreck in March 2018 which totaled my 2015 model. I looked at almost every other SUV in its class to compare and still went back to the terrain. Nothing sizes up in my opinion. The cabin is sooo roomy! This time I upgraded and got the SLT with leather and a sunroof and I am so glad I spent the extra money.

Brand new, but so far it is awesome.

I am enjoying the redesigned interior and all of the things that come with the Denali package. Power is good and it is much quieter than my 2015 Terrain.
