2012 GMC Terrain - Perfect fit
I have GMC Terrain, and it is a perfect fit for my family. I have two boys. When I bought my vehicle, my boys were in car seats, and the vehicle perfectly fit me without bumping my head when attaching their seats. I can easily see my boys as grown men easily fitting in the back seat. It is so roomy in the back seat. There is a back hatch that is perfect for grocery shopping or my kids sporting equipment. My favorite aspect about the vehicle is driver seat. It is very comfortable, and I enjoy driving. You can adjust the seat higher or lower. The higher setting makes you feel like you are driving a SUV where the lower setting gives you the feeling of driving a car. It is very versatile in that sense. I love economy mode, which allows me to save gas. The gas mileage on the GMC Terrain is ... (more)

If I were to ever buy another vehicle again, it will definitely be another one. I am just so pleased with it.
We bought the vehicle in the beginning of June 2014. Prior to that, I had a Buick Rendezvous that I was not happy with, so switching to the GMC Terrain was quite the change. In the end of June of 2014, we drove the GMC Terrain to Colorado. It took us about 24 hours of straight driving, and then when we were in Colorado, we drove in and around the mountains.

We bought the vehicle in the beginning of June 2014. Prior to that, I had a Buick Rendezvous that I was not happy with, so switching to the GMC Terrain was quite the change. In the end of June of 2014, we drove the GMC Terrain to Colorado. It took us about 24 hours of straight driving, and then when we were in Colorado, we drove in and around the mountains. There were so many inclines we had to go up while on vacation, and the GMC Terrain performed great! With the big windows in the vehicle it allowed us to see so much. My husband and I took turns sleeping on our trip, and with the large room in the back, we were able to put the seats down and sleep, which with all the blankets and stuff, we had it was pretty comfortable.
I enjoy that it is so roomy, and everything is at my finger tips. The radio and cruise control on steering wheel is just such a nice feature. It also has Bluetooth that hooks to my phone, so if someone is calling me, I can talk to them through my speakers. I love that!

I have the SLE model, and when I bought the vehicle, I had the impression it was hooked up to Pandora and it is not. The other models are and that was a bummer.

2012 GMC Terrain - Sorely disappointed
From the maker of some great automobiles comes this awesome concept with poor execution and disappointing features. Initial impressions were that this was a sleek little SUV packed with features including great gas mileage and the ability to run with the fad-pack of boxy SUVs. Sadly, this is far from the case. After 65,000 highway miles, MPG performance comes nowhere near the label description. The interior feels cheap and squeaky with too much plastic, the rear camera works... sometimes, there are no backup sensors, the power windows lack - well - power, and the engine is woefully under-powered (even after being rebuilt). For a similar chunk of change, I could have been driving a much nicer and much more reliable vehicle from a number of competitors.

Shortly after the purchase, we enjoyed a couple of long family road trips.

The top positive aspects to this vehicle are some features, like heated, power seats, the center console LCD screen, backup camera, and adjustable rear bench seat. Also notable is the remote start and OnStar features.

Where to begin... first, a fuel line pressure sensor caused many headaches followed shortly by a necessary engine rebuild due to cylinder o-ring disintegration, bearing failures, and etching of the cylinder walls. The overall lack of power is frustrating and the transmission began slipping periodically shortly after the purchase. It has only gotten worse as time has gone on. Now, while braking, if the vehicle does not come to a complete stop before gently pressing the acceleration, the vehicle jolts as if it were hit from behind.

Now, while braking, if the vehicle does not come to a complete stop before gently pressing the acceleration, the vehicle jolts as if it were hit from behind. There are no backup sensors, which can prove hazardous and cause costly repairs for obstacles in the blind spots. While the backup camera is a positive thing, it only works periodically. Finally, there are no rear A/C vents. It seems like those would be standard equipment on any vehicle where there is a large void that stores hot/cold air (rear cargo area).
