Love this car.

This is a great suv. The small extras make it a great deal. We like the sleek design and overall comfort of the car. It was a great value based on the age and amount of miles for the suv. Would recommend a terrain.

Stylish and fuel efficient.

The turbo charged 2.0 liter engine performs well & is efficient. It’s stylish inside & out and I have received many compliments. The Bose sound system is awesome.

Has major computer connection issues

I’ve had constant problems with the computer losing connection with the ABS and steering controls. It happened while I was driving and the steering wheel locked. It gets a temporary fix from the dealership and then acts up again.

Most Comfortable and cool car I’ve owned

This car is perfect for me. It has plenty of leg and elbow room, front and back. It’s an energy saver which gives me a lot of gas for my buck.

Most reliable car I’ve ever owned

I love this car sooo much that I dread the day I have to get rid of it!! Perfect size for easy parking, transporting furniture, and fits 5 easily. I love how big the back seat is, but there is still tons of room in the trunk. Love the buttons on the outside doors for easy locking and unlocking. We got a pet seat cover for our dog to preserve the back seats and it was the best purchase. This car is so easy to clean, and most areas are accessible to vacuum. And the snow mode makes me feel safer when the roads are sketchy! Overall I wish we had bought this car sooner, I absolutely love it.

Nice comfortable ride

This car has all of the bells and whistles that we were looking for and offers the comfort that our family needs for road trips. Looking forward to the great gas mileage.

Do not lease or buy this mechanical nightmare

Worst car buy in 40 years of driving Transmissions needed repairs at 10000 miles. After 30 minutes of driving seats feel like cement. Unusual sounds around the wheels while driving. That force you to turn up the volume on the radio.

Stylish but Crappy

The car is very stylish. However, it suffers in comfort and reliability. The cheaply made underbody means that I have had numerous issues with struts and other related issues. Additionally, on the inside things don’t always line up like they should, and it makes it seem a bit cheap. Additionally, the leather seats are stiff as a board and will literally cause sore spots after 30 minutes of driving (and no, I’m not old, I’m literally 21). It also rides very harshly, not really dampening any small or large bumps well (also correlated to the crappy underbody construction).

LEAVES ME STRANDED

This past Saturday, 10/12/19, my 2018 (less than 25,000 miles) left me stranded. Once again, trouble with going into gear. I am driving on the highway, it starts revving, and won't move. I managed to get off of the highway and into a parking lot, thank goodness. Then it wouldn't go into any gear at all - message on dashboard said "conditions not good for changing gears." (Or something to that effect.) This shouldn't be the case for a 2 year old automobile with less than 25,000 miles. Pretty sure I am stuck with a lemon.
