"I purchased the Terrain Denali in November 2012. When I first started looking to buy a new car, I considered almost every possible option, new and used, in my price range of $30-$45k. I ultimately narrowed down my list of options to those with AWD because I wanted something that handled well in the winter above all else. When it came to pricing out a well-equipped vehicle, I was left with few appealing options in my price range. I could have gone with a lower-trim level in a luxury crossover or sedan, or a fully-loaded domestic crossover or sedan. After settling on the Terrain Denali, I was a bit skeptical that it would meet my expectations after I had given strong consideration early in the process to some other, more popular models. Six months later, I could not be happier with the Terrain. The interior is comfortable and quiet, the technology is intuitive and straight-forward, and the overall driving performance is smooth. I have had one issue with the suspension that was fixed under warranty, but the Terrain has otherwise completely exceeded my expectations."

Buyers Beware Part II!!

By just me (VA) on Monday, April 08, 2013

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 20,000

Pros: "cup holders"

Cons: "engine"

"Now for my reasons why this car should be pulled or recalled: At times, when I am slowing down for a light and that light happens to turn green and I go from slowly cruising/breaking to cruising/giving it a little gas, it "poops" like someone said. And it's a pretty bad jerking motion that the first time I thought I had gotten bumped from behind and each time I do wonder was that the engine or did someone hit me this time. It happens all the time and having been hit from behind, it's a little bit of a PTSD issue for me, but nonetheless, it's embarrassing and shouldn't be happening."

Buyers beware Part I!!

By Designing and loving it! (VA) on Monday, April 08, 2013

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 20,000

Cons: "poops, engine noise & rattling, nav is terrible"

"I'll start with what I do like about this car. For one, it's pretty comfortable. I have lower back issues and I appreciate being about to adjust the driver’s seat in so many ways. Although in the passenger seat, I don't find it comfortable. The only time I sit in the passenger seat is for long road trips (ugh!) I just have to use pillows for lumbar support. I also like the color choices, I have white with grey interior and I love it! I appreciate the dash system and components, although I am not too happy with some of the features, we'll get to that in a minute. Let’s see, the other things I really like are all pretty much standard stuff, child lock, window lock, lift gate (love), the little things make me really happy. I love that the cup holders can hold the 1-1.5 liter water bottles. There are way too many cars with the tiny cup holders that served no purpose for me. Oh, the back is pretty roomy. I've had some big guys and they were able to sit without their knees going through the driver and passenger seat and without having to pull the driver and passenger seat forward much."

Good Car

"I have a 2012 Terrain FWD SLT-2. 4cyl. Currently have 9,500 miles. BEFORE YOU BUY ONE...DO YOUR HOMEWORK..Cargo cover and The roof cross bars are not standard on the terrain. The dealership did not point that out. Make sure you negotiate for those. CONS: When at a lower gear (slowing down for the car in front of you) and switching to a high gear, SOMETIMES the transmission POPS! First time it happened I thought someone had bumped in to me. Leather seats are a little too narrow. To compare; I'm male, 5'10" 210 lbs. Standard size Golf clubs don't fit in the cargo area with out putting the back seat down. Back seats adjust well front to back, but don't go flat when your needing the back cargo area, they tilt up. All Ambient Lighting is RED... dials, console touch screen, everything. Would be nice to change lighting color. PROS: Beautiful looking vehicle Silver on chrome. Quiet ride. Sit up high in traffic. Many of the standard features are really nice to have. The drivers seat automatically BACKS UP when the car stops so you can get out easier...GREAT IDEA! Good sound system. Hands free Bluetooth. Seat warmers in front seats. Remote start. Moon roof. Automatic lift-gate is a happy surprise. Gas mileage is 24.4 in town. Mirrors automatically adjust down when your in reverse. Touch screen is really helpful. I'm likely to recommend this vehicle."
