  14,000 Miles in 6 Months - 2010 GMC Terrain
  By Terrain Driver - September 22 - 2:00 am

  In comparing most of the reviews over the past few months, my only common negative experiences are: with only rear windows down, noise cancellation system goes berserk augmenting normal "helicopter" reverberation and hammers your ears unmercifully radio volume stuck a couple of times in hot weather, but returned to normal after restarting car several interior chrome appointments reflect sunlight painfully front headrests insufficiently adjustable (Im 6 6"). On the plus side, avg. overall mileage is 26, but I can get 32 as claimed in ECO on highway without cruise control very roomy interior with comfortable, quiet ride - even for 4 adult passengers good fit & finish.

  Only a few gripes - 2010 GMC Terrain
  By Laura - August 30 - 5:06 pm

  I love my terrain! I shopped this category for months and landed on this vehicle and bought it the day I finally test drove it. I am pleased over all with my purchase. Sticker MPG is pretty accurate while others seem to disagree.

  Great at 10,000 Miles - 2010 GMC Terrain
  By GuntherCammens - August 19 - 12:01 pm

  We bought the gmc terrain as a surprise to ourselves we had been looking at the CR-V, escape, rav4, edge and a few cars until we realized we really needed a small SUV. Economy and ride comfort were tops on our list and the terrain (2.4 L awd slt1) after 10,000 miles in 4 mo has given us 25 mpg all-around half NY city Urban and half cross-country interstate. On interstate stretches we saw 30 mpg a few times but mostly it was 27-28 mpg unless traversing the mountains of West Virginia/Kentucky/Tennessee where highway mileage was 24-25 mpg, no trailering. We trailered a pair of hds on a light trailer (total weight 1600 lbs. Pushing the max) and economy drops to 22-25 mpg highway. Overall excellent!

  Love our Terrain - 2010 GMC Terrain
  By Matthew - August 10 - 10:23 pm

  Ill start out by saying my only complaint with our Terrain is the turning radius isnt that great. It doesnt always bother you but on making u turns you sometimes have to back up if the road isnt wide. Other than that we LOVE our Terrain. I read someone said it took 3 hours for onstar to get someone to them. IT probably took 3 hours for whomever was coming but be happy onstar was there. Ive had to use onstar several times and in a accident. That voice coming over automatically telling me help is on the way and I dont have to look for a cell which mine was broken. Its awesome to know my car will help me if needed. I love the comfort, the looks. I have people all the time stop me to say its nice!!

  Back w/GM after 5 yrs in Toyota wilderness - 2010 GMC Terrain
  By ColtsChiefsTitans - August 3 - 6:26 pm

  OK, weve got a Highlander which is OK but boring & a Prius which we hated (gets 45 MPG but does nothing else well). HAD to trade it before another winter parking it in garage for fear of sliding off roads! So shopped domestic & import sedans, went into GMC-Buick dealer on a whim to check out a gorgeous but pricy LaCrosse. Wandered across the showroom & sat in the GMC Terrain, the wife fell in love! Great/flexible seating position, VERY comfortable seats, nicely equipped base model, attractive interior, plus STUDLY exterior styling which is the polar opposite of the weeny Prius. Have 1200 miles and getting great MPG: 26 city / 31 hwy. Drives solid as a rock. No wimpy RAV4 or CRV for me!!

  I love this vehicle - 2010 GMC Terrain
  By ski mom - July 24 - 8:05 pm

  I love the looks inside and out/classy. I love the comfort and the ride. I love the color. I was driving a jacked up Jeep Wrangler (which I also loved in a different way) and prior to that I had four Outbacks (which I also loved). This is my favorite. We traded a Lexus IS which is a classy smooth ride and this car is as classy inside. I am pleasantly surprised - wanted another Outback to haul my son to ski practice and races in, and my husband suggested this or the Buick Enclave. I was cynical until I looked at it and drove it. Now I cant stay out of the garage and my husband and son keep finding me hanging out inside. It is just beautiful. Just simply classy. Love it.

  V6 SLT-1 AWD - 2010 GMC Terrain
  By Zanes Review - July 22 - 11:19 pm

  This car is by far the best vehicle i have driven. I am 19 years old and was lucky enough to drive my parents h3. It was very nice, but the interior and engine power was really lacking in quality. The interior was alright, but compared to this beautiful brownstone leather with the red trim, it doesnt compare. The V6 is slow in first, but really speeds up in the other gears. (Most likely for fuel efficiency.) Love this car. As for either the ecotech or v6, i had to get the v6 with the hills, I really enjoy the ride. If you dont have hills, you can get away with the ecotech. I am definitely a lead foot driver (college student) and get 17 city and somehow 26 on the highway! Camera is great

  Love my Terrain - 2010 GMC Terrain
  By HappyOwner - July 18 - 9:48 pm

  My Terrain has worked great for me. I have about 2500 miles driven. I am a 62", 375 pound guy who has an artificial leg on one side & a big brace on the other leg. So I needed a car that had great leg room, head room, and belly room. Also needed to set high off ground so getting in & out was easy. The Terrain was my best choice after looking at about 30 different SUVs. It is working great. It has good second row room,& plenty of space in back for big load of groceries or luggage. I also like the smaller size. I have a lift on the back hauling a scooter. I can still fit in parking spaces. I highly recommend it for people needing lots of room up front - it had more than even the biggest SUVs
