    GMC Terrain Change Vehicle

    While this version of the GMC Terrain is not a bad vehicle, the competition had left it in the dust. While nice and roomy inside, the Terrain is less efficient than other five-passenger SUVs, but burns as much gas as larger, seven-passenger models. The 3.6-liter engine, shared with many other General Motors products, supplies quick acceleration times at the test track, but feels sluggish in routine driving.

    Overall Owner Satisfaction

    Consumer Reports’ Annual Owner Satisfaction Survey can improve the chances of finding a compatible car match. How? Our survey data reveals whether, all things considered, owners would buy the same car again. The answer to that question is what determines our owner-satisfaction rating, which is a powerful piece of intel because it predicts how well a particular model will satisfy other owners.

    Overall Owner Satisfaction

    Driving Experience

    Includes acceleration and handling

    What Owners Say

    “Great handling car and good gas mileage”

    Anonymous, WI (2010 GMC Terrain)

    “afterr I got hit in the l/f door there is a rattle in the dash that they can,t get out”

    MANNY V., FL (2010 GMC Terrain)

    “Being 4 cyl, it gets better gas mileage but has to work really hard to accelerate on the highway and up long stretches of hills/mtns. In NEPA, that happens a lot!! Handles well other than that.”

    Anonymous, PA (2010 GMC Terrain)

    “Love the acceleration and feeling control Blind spot is smaller than previous vehicles.”

    Comfort

    Includes seats, climate control, noise, and ride

    What Owners Say

    “Driver's seat memory control has required frequent reprogramming”

    ROBERT B., TN (2010 GMC Terrain)

    “adjustable lumbar support in drivers seat broke; quit working”

    RICK B., LA (2010 GMC Terrain)

    “1. Ease of entry into the vehicle 2. No discernible road noise 3. Comfortable ride in all seats.”

    Anonymous, TX (2010 GMC Terrain)

    “In dash directional air flow is very limited and always seems to be blowing directly at me. Can't point it away. Front Seats cup up on right and left sides. I'm only 5'4" and this makes getting out of the seat more challenging than I'd like. But my husband is 6'2", and he loves the comfort of the seats and leg room. For an all wheel drive SUV, the ride is nice. Not too big. Just the right size for empty nesters. Looks stylish and "tough".”

    Percentage of owners who would definitely purchase that same vehicle again. Owner-satisfaction Ratings are determined by the percentage of those who answered "definitely yes" to the question asked by the Consumer Reports Annual Auto Survey "Considering all factors (price, performance, reliability, comfort, enjoyment, etc.), would you get this car if you had to do it all over again?". If we don’t have sufficient data, a similar model might be used to form the owner-satisfaction score.
