  Gas mileage blues - 2010 GMC Terrain
  By cecilp - December 13 - 5:00 pm

  Traded a 2000 Yukon (bought new) to better gas mileage. Have less than 300 miles since delivery and the gas mileage stinks. Only getting 16 MPG in town, have not had it on a trip yet. Data center shows average speed of 33.7 MPH. Anyone else having gas mileage issues? Comofrt is ok with the exception on seat edges while getting out of vehicle, and rear doors are hard to shut. Ride is good and firm and handling is great and the and style is otasite. XM radio is awesome but gas mileage has got to go. If the satisfaction return was still available Id take er back in a flash.

  Great Bailout Plan! - 2010 GMC Terrain
  By Tomcat - September 5 - 1:10 am

  Enjoy this truck, despite having used a p/u for most of my driving life. With this truck, I get out, not climb up&out. Has a decent traffic presence and forward view. Ive had this Jimmy for 2 weeks and have 2600 miles, driving 4 hrs/200 m round trip while getting 28mpg. Adequate power for hills and stop lights and great brakes. Overall happy with this truck. Hard to keep my wife out of drivers seat! Complaints? The climate control wont settle on heat or cooling; it overcompensates (due to cabin t-stat location?). At 6, 238, I find the seat way too narrow for extended comfort; the lower seatback seems non- existent, causing a slumped posture. Very intrusive blind-spots!

  Great vehicle, deep bucket seats - 2010 GMC Terrain
  By Dallasterrain - August 22 - 12:00 am

  Weve had it for one week. Overall, great vehicle. Live in Dallas, rolling hills, mostly one driver. Got 23.5 mpg on first tank in combined driving. Seats contoured like bucket seats make it a little difficult getting out, but seats are wide and comfortable even for an older widebody. Also a tad on the firm side. Pick-up is amazing for a 4 cylinder. Plenty of power for our purposes. Cant tell its a 4 unless heavy acceleration onto frwy. Got just the basic vehicle, very impressed with interior layout. Seems like a couple steps above your basic vehicle. Above average sound from standard radio. Its a quiet and comfortable cruiser on the interstate. Recommend it to anyone.

  2010 GMC Terrain SLE-1 4cyl FWD - 2010 GMC Terrain
  By Mooseclan - July 29 - 8:43 am

  Ive had it for three weeks, and have no complaints; its exactly what I expected based on reviews and research. During this 3 week time, weve had two major (20"+) snowstorms, and the handling was fine on snow covered roads. It doesnt go through and over snow like a sno-cat, but it handles well enough; starting and stopping well while driving sensibly. With the smaller engine, its no powerhouse, but its more than adequate; getting all of its rated mileages both highway and city. Dry road handling is much more like a larger car, but with the advantages of a smaller one. Its quiet and smooth, feeling like a high-end Yukon, but much more nimble and agile.

  SLT-1 with 3.0 Engine - 2010 GMC Terrain
  By erj - June 21 - 3:36 am

  Very comfortable to drive, although a bit stiff on some roads. Quiet, sound system is excellent, love the USB capability (just set up thumb drive from your PC). After 2K miles, mileage on typical commute is about 21 mpg (DIC says 22.4, its wrong). Getting used to automatic downshift on glide to stop (kicks in at 45 and 35 mph). Big issue is the dead spot at about 35 mph when you want to accelerate into freeway traffic (a brief delay, then the engine kicks in). Visibility to the back corners not good. Went with Terrain since the trim levels were better aligned for me than the Equinox (for 3 months, couldnt find an Equinox anywhere close to my specs). Styling evokes strong responses!

  I like the Terrain, rides nice and feels like a more expensive vehicle. Still getting used to the "reverse" camera.

  Love the Terrian, but.... - 2010 GMC Terrain
  By dkoontz - May 5 - 7:23 pm

  Have had my Terrian for about 6 weeks and have driven 2200 miles so far. Overall, the vehicle exceeds my expectations. It seems well built, solid and quiet on the road, and is loaded with features. A great value! My one concern (and its a big one) is highway MPG. With the 4 cylinder, the Terrain is EPA rated at 22 City/32 Highway. So far my "local" mileage has been acceptable, in the 24-26 MPG range however my highway mileage hasnt been any better at 26. My primary reason for picking the Terrain was its best in class highway mileage, but so far its not meeting expectation. Hopefully, Ill see improvements in the future as the engine gets more broken in.

  Good Job G.M. - 2010 GMC Terrain
  By Sid Wombold - November 10 - 11:53 pm

  Now have 1,000 miles on the Terrain. Came from an Enclave and in my opinion this is a better built vehicle. With the 4cyl. it will shift less on the hills than the V6 Enclave. First tank full gave 25.1 m.p.g. and the DIC is showing over 26 on this tank. The looks is still growing on me. I preferred the Equinox and the better 1/2 preferred the Terrain. So we compromised and bought the Terrain. Decent seats and good room for 4 people. Better stereo than the Bose in the Enclave.

  By tim - November 6 - 11:16 pm

  The vehicle looks great and is a very smooth ride. The V-6 engine provides good performance and above average handling.
