  2012 Cadillac CTS Coupe, Great except gas mileage. - 2012 GMC Terrain
  By rkaydc - January 27 - 12:01 pm

  When purchasing this car last year the mileage was listed at 18-26 mpg. It barely gets 19 mpg, and so far its never met 20 mpgs. In this day and age its terrible that we cant be getting at least 25 mpgs

  Great Car! - 2012 GMC Terrain
  By jlbigguy - August 28 - 8:29 pm

  Have my 2012 Terrain for 1 week now, and after 900 miles I am impressed. Getting 30.5 mpg on the highway, and overall average is 27mpg. This is with ECO mode on. Very smooth and quiet ride, no wind noise at all. The car feels solid, and is very comfortable (premium cloth seats). I have more room then in my old 2004 Pontiac Montana, and I am 66" tall. Can hardly tell the engine is running when at idle. Very pleased with my purchase.

  I have had my 2012 Terrain for less than three weeks now and simply love it. For the price, it is a quality vehicle.

  Well Satisfied - 2012 GMC Terrain
  By oldterrainguy - October 10 - 6:58 am

  Couldnt be happier with my 2012 Terrain. Style, inside and exterior, tech galore which will take me time to learn including bluetooth and onstar dirctions. Very good solid and quiet ride. Took the Terrain for a drive specifically to test mileage since I had read bad reports for the 2011 Terrain and Equinox. If the onboard computer is reasonably accurate, 31.5 to 33.8 average over a 100 mile test with cruise set at 61 MPH. I believe the EPA test standard is still 60 MPH. Great value for those that keep a car for a long time.

  2012 GMC Terrain SLE AWD 4Cyl - 2012 GMC Terrain
  By jspa - September 2 - 8:48 pm

  The styling, price, value and especially the performance of the vehicle we purchased is outstanding. Test drove a 2012 Terrain SLE AWD and then a 2011 Terrain SLE AWD and each had a four cylinder engine. There is no comparison. The 2012 performed much better, in my opinion, perhaps due to the VVT engine. We have this vehicle for about a month. It has a smooth, quiet ride, good acceleration on hills, and overall a great looking SUV in black.
