  • 2010 Terrain with V6 AWD - 2010 GMC Terrain

    This a great vehicle. I am taller than most people and find that it has more than enough space for me from leg room to head room. If you are looking for great compact SUV this your car. You cannot beat it when comes to all the features you get for the price.

  • SLE 2 - 2010 GMC Terrain
    By -

    I tried to fight off purchasing a new vehicle, but saw the Terrain on the road and loved it. I thought it would be bad on gas,actually gets better mileage than my Saturn I traded, and has much more room. I like it that it can tow my motorcycle or my fishing boat. Last but not least, I get more compliments on this vehicle than any other I have purchased. I seriously was giving up on GM after they dropped Oldsmobile,Saturn and Pontiac, 3 of my last four vehicles. But they hooked me with this dang Terrain and saved a customer. Keep up the good work and Ill stay a customer.

  • Finally a GMC crossover! 4Cyl-FWD-SLE2 - 2010 GMC Terrain
    By -

    I have only had for 10 days now, but so far love it! I have worked for GMC for 10 years and never owned one until now. Finally they have a crossover SUV! I commute 45 miles a day and needed good gas mileage. I did allot of research on many different crossovers before choosing. This has allot to offer and affordable. It has plenty of power for my needs, very comfy/roomy, quiet/smooth ride. Lots of detail in the design. Very stylish and fun to drive!

  • Maybe the Ride with Improve with Time - 2010 GMC Terrain
    By -

    Traded in 07 GMC Yukon XL. Wanted something to fit in my garage year round -- i.e. a big downsizing move. No need to look for small SUVs - most competing dealers would have lauged me off their lots. Got $1000 for loyalty. 14.2 mpg on first tank. The V6 - 19" chrome wheels make ride way too stiff.

  • 2010 Terrain with V6 AWD - 2010 GMC Terrain
    By -

    This is quite simple, drive it then buy it. This is an extra vehicle in our household. We could afford to buy almost anything on wheels but decided on this because of the styling, ride etc. GM surpassed my expectations. Why couldnt GM have built these type of vehicles years ago??

  • Worth a look - 2010 GMC Terrain
    By -

    My wife and I stumbled across this vehicle. Had problems with previous SUV, came home on a weekend from military duty and bought the Terrain. We needed a car right then. Wanted a Hybrid for mileage purpose; however, dealer said we would not be disappointed, and they were right. Nice ride, comfortable, quiet, you need to upgrade from base model to really get the true vehicle. Price is right, especially for the size and mileage. Got the SLT and it has all the options we were looking for.

  • Just purchased Terrain - 2010 GMC Terrain
    By -

    Just purchased my Terrain a week ago I got a SLE AWD with the 2.4L ecotec. I am so impressed with this suv, It drives like a way more expensive vehicle. The 4 cylinder is very smooth and powerful this motor was rated top 10 engines in wards best engine awards. It is very quiet inside with none of the squeeks and rattles of the older GM products. I highly recommend this suv after owning Audis and other high quality cars I have to say the Terrain is on par with them if not better! Hope GM keeps up the good work with my bailout money.

  • We picked it over the Equinox - 2010 GMC Terrain
    By -

    All the reviews say the Nox is cheaper, but based on the options I wanted (SLT1), you need to step up to the fully loaded Equinox to get some of the same stuff (like leather), which was $2K more. We also found the GM to have the classier interior vs the Chev (albeit slightly). Might be a Canada thing. Just boils down to preference and looks. For us, the Terrain was the better fit and value. Fantastic vehicle though - well executed throughout (and this is coming from a lifetime Honda fan who swore never to buy a GM). Flexible, comfortable, quiet, and compliant. GM sure has stepped up here.

  • Worst car Ive ever owned - 2010 GMC Terrain
    By -

    This is the worst car Ive ever owned! So many problems! Transmission replaced at 101,000 miles. Constantly burning through oil, blew a hole in the transfer case, chugging and during at stop lights, have replaced a rotor 6 times in the past 3 years. Getting rid of this vehicle the first chance I get!!

  • Satisfied With my Terrain - 2010 GMC Terrain
    By -

    I purchased my SLT-2, 2.4L 4-cyl on December 11. I have been very well pleased with it for the first 1,000 miles. The 4-cyl has been real good for me and I am getting 22 MPG on mostly city driving. I havent been on the road yet. I would rate the vehicle overall a 9.5. The only problem I have had so far is in very cold weather, the ignition key would not turn off in the last notch so the key could be removed. The dealer has found a defective sencer and has ordered one from GM.
