Thinking of buying the 2011 GMC Terrain?
We are a rental company, not a dealer, so there is no 2011 GMC Terrain for sale by us right now. For anyone shopping for the 2011 GMC Terrain, here are the facts that matter.
What to check on the Terrain
Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. NHTSA has 386 owner complaints on file, mostly about engine, power train and unknown or other. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace.
What the specs mean
The 2.4L 4-cylinder is what moves it, with front-wheel drive. It runs on regular gas. Front-wheel drive is the usual layout for cars this size, predictable in the rain and the snow.
At 9.2 L/100 km combined, a 300 km drive takes roughly 28 litres of fuel. At our price setting, 1,000 km costs about $142.60. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$2,600 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Best uses
It suits someone whose own car is in the shop for a while. Families, skiers and anyone with bulky luggage.
The Terrain in everyday use
An SUV body means more headroom and a taller cargo opening than a car of the same length.
Try before you buy
Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide. Nothing is charged until we confirm the rental and you approve the offer. Rent first, buy later: a week with the Terrain answers the big questions.
Year and trim
Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first.
Money matters
A 1,000 km month costs roughly $142.60 at our price setting. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $14.26 in fuel.
