  • GMC Terrain - Buyer Beware! - 2010 GMC Terrain
    By -

    Why buy a Terrain? For me it was the promise of best in class highway fuel economy, rated at 32 mpg with the 4 cylinder. Took delivery of my SLT Terrain last December and now have around 7200 miles on the vehicle. My average highway mpg: 25.1! Well says GM, your mileage may vary. OK I get that. But in every case Ive driven pure highway (Interstate) miles, Ive used cruise control and driven at or below the posted speed limit (sometimes 60, never more than 70). So GM exactly what am I doing wrong? To put in mildly, Im disgusted with GM and the vehicle after initially loving it. If considering the 4 cyl, do yourself a favor and look at the 6. Or better yet, buy and import!

  • Great Car- and Safe - 2010 GMC Terrain
    By -

    I couldnt wait for this car to be released. It was the first car I had ever brought on my own. I had been reviewing it since August 2009 and when it was finally released I had a hard time finding it because not too many dealers had the fully loaded SLT2. I was a little disappointed that the passenger side didnt have the power seats, the gas mileage, and how the car hesitated when trying to pick up speed but other then that I loved it. My car is totaled due to a hit &run every air bag deployed we were saved! Onstar kicked in pretty quick all the airbags from the front & window passenger side, driver side window & stirring wheel and rear passenger airbags deployed.

  • Glad I bought this truck - 2010 GMC Terrain

    I bought the fully loaded (except for going with the 18 inch wheels) SLT2 with V6, entertainment system, etc. Ive only had it for 2 weeks now, but I am extremely happy I bought this vehicle. The exterior in carbon black metallic is great - much better than in pictures. And the interior fit and finish is excellent too.

    I like everything about it but the Gas Mileage. Need to achieve 25 before the 32 MPG which is advertised.

  • Nicest vehicle I ever bought! - 2010 GMC Terrain
    By -

    I bought my Onyx Black 2010 GMC Terrain on New Years Eve 2009. I wanted a small SUV with lots of room. I have a champagne taste with a beer pocket book! I researched vehicles for 3 months. I saw this SUV on the Ellen Degeneres Show and fell in love! I had to go to a dealer 100 miles away to find one because no local dealers had any. I have the basic model, as I only drive 2 miles to work and dont need a 4 wheel drive. The standard features alone are incredible, more than any other SUV I looked at! The interior and exterior are beautiful, the ride is fabulous. A tank of gas lasts me two weeks! Never thought I would use the back up camera, but cant live without it! I could go on and on!

  • Love Our Terrain! - 2010 GMC Terrain
    By -

    When I first saw the new Terrains I absolutely hated the design. We looked for three months and since I would be the primary driver, it was my choice. It came down to a Terrain, an Equinox, or a Kia Sorento. I grew to appreciate the design and after driving it for the weekend, bought it on Monday! We have found not one thing to complain about and we both absolutely love it! We bought the AWD since we live in the country. Gas mileage is good and it is loaded with great options! Great job GMC!

  • Great thus far - 2010 GMC Terrain

    Husband and I did a ton of research before we purchased our Terrain. We have the SLT-2 FWD 6cy, fully loaded and love it. What a great vehicle by GMC, very surprised and very much in love.

  • Disappointed mpg - 2010 GMC Terrain
    By -

    Love the vehicle (traded a Yukon xl) not happy with the mileage - averaging 23 mpg - have over 9,000 miles on it. The chrome latch on the dash storage compartment and chrome around console controls is quite blinding when the sun hits it right.

  • Great Looks!! - 2010 GMC Terrain
    By -

    I searched so many SUVS to replace my current Infinity EX which had an expiring lease and was surprised by this vheicle. it just stood out among the many I tested. Never thought I would buy American but was shocked at the value, construction and beauty of this truck. You get a lot for your money and not cheap parts. People look when you drive this SUV. Very happy!!!!

  • LUV IT - 2010 GMC Terrain
    By -

    I absolutely love my Terrain. It has all the options of a luxury vehicle, but I got the 4 cyl and was able to afford all the plush options. It is beautiful....the 4 cyl is great for my driving around town 5000 miles per yr. I LOVE IT! It is beautiful!
