Overview & Reviews
The Terraza is an all-new "crossover sport van." Think of it as a minivan with an SUV-like front end.
- Smooth ride and handling, lots of nifty interior storage spaces, innovative multimedia storage system, standard stability control on 2WD model, available all-wheel drive.
- Engine power and refinement not up to class leaders, no side curtain airbags.

Terraza CXL - 2005 Buick Terraza
By A. Moore - June 14 - 3:43 pmWe looked at the Chevy version of this van also and by the time you put all of the options on it that the CXL had, the price was at least as much. A Buick Century was our first new car and we loved it for 8 years but needed the extra room. Our Buick dealer has a wonderful service department and thats what eventually sold us on it.

Well Done Buick - 2005 Buick Terraza
By Larry H - May 26 - 2:03 amI traded in my Chevy Venture Warner Bros. Edition for this fully loaded CXL. I love the styling and the ride is very quiet. Improvements over the Warner Bros. include the XM radio, seats are 100% leather (no cloth inserts) Heated front seats, factory remote starter, steering wheel controls. Mechanically the cars drives a little stiffer but is more responsive. Gas mileage is down from the 3.4 engine. Chevy Venture with 3.4 averaged close to 29 mpg on highway according to trip computer, Terraza is between 25 and 26. Performance difference is hardly noticable, but I dont think my wife plans on racing it. Very nice vehicle, not just a repackaged Olds silouette.

Pleasantly Surprised - 2005 Buick Terraza
By Recliner King - May 7 - 12:54 pmI have over 6000 miles on my Terraza. I am very happy with the car overall. The kids get in easy. Heck I can get in and out very easy. And with the DVD I dont hear, "Are the there yet". The ride, the feel of the "Van" sometimes makes me forget it is a "Minivan". Average mileage 23 combined (60% highway, 40% city)

Our Mojo Box - 2005 Buick Terraza
By Fred Perrett - April 12 - 4:22 pmThe Terraza is a wonderful ride. We did however, blow a computer K module. Buick repaired the problem and provided us with a Chevy Tahoe while the repairs were completed. On our family trip to Florida from Michigan and back, we really enjoyed the comfort and ride.

Great Vehicle - 2005 Buick Terraza
By Ray Zenoni - April 11 - 11:15 pmOver the past several years I have rented quite a few mini-vans for group trips. None compare with the Terraza that I recently purchased. I was looking primarily for a very comfortable and quite vehicle to transport people on fun day trips (rather than a vehicle to transport the kids to after school activities). The Terraza is quiet, handles well, is very comfortable and basically a perfect fit for my requirments. I have had it for several months now and I have driven it 2,000 miles in all types of weather. I am so glad I got this vehicle. This is my first Buick and I was impressed by the dealership, as well as this vehicle.

Back to Elegance - 2005 Buick Terraza
By OldGoat - April 7 - 5:01 pmFinally, Buick is back. The leather seats are great. Styling is the best anywhere in the world. Gas mileage is great. There is plenty of room in the cabin. A real showboat.

I LOVE MY TERRAZA!!!! - 2005 Buick Terraza
By Lisa - April 6 - 8:45 amI love my Buick Terraza. I like the fact that it has the exterior look of an SUV but the interior room and comfort of a mini-van! It is definitely a vehicle my family and I needed. We use the storage compartments often, the 12 cupholders actually come in handy with the children. The third row seating lays flat for lots of room and storage in the rear when moving or transporting groceries and large items. I would purchase this vehcile again! There are some quirks they need to work out with it mechanically but overall the service I have received from the dealer has been great, too! The quirks are very minor and do not affect the handling of the vehicle in anyway.

My 1st minivan - 2005 Buick Terraza
By Ken C - March 25 - 6:22 pmI was ready to buy a Mercury Premier, but tried this...what a great buy! Its so quiet inside, and comfortable! I got heated seats...my wife insisted! The middle and back seats are as comfortable as the front, with plenty of leg room. The engine has plenty of get up and go, and I get 29 mpg on the road at 65 to 70. I"m very happy. Try one out.
