The 2013 GMC Terrain for buyers
No 2013 GMC Terrain is for sale by CarmaCars at the moment; this page helps you judge the car before you buy one elsewhere. Thinking about the 2013 GMC Terrain? Here are the numbers in plain words and what to check.
A buyer's checks
NHTSA has 364 owner complaints on file, mostly about engine, visibility/wiper and power train. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace.
Engine and fuel
The powertrain here is the 2.4L 4-cylinder with front-wheel drive and a 6-speed automatic. It runs on regular gas. With front-wheel drive, the weight of the engine sits over the driven wheels, which helps in winter.
Fuel use is rated 9.2 L/100 km combined, so 300 km needs about 28 litres. For 1,000 km, budget about $142.60 at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$2,600 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.
Space and size
An SUV body means more headroom and a taller cargo opening than a car of the same length.
Who it is for
Families, skiers and anyone with bulky luggage. It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next.
Try before you buy
Rent the Terrain for a week, or up to 365 days, before you commit to buying one. A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. Rent it, live with it for a week, and decide with real experience.
The cost of driving it
The EPA estimates US$2,600 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $14.26 in fuel. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $142.60 at our price setting.
Picking a year and a trim
If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices.
