    The 2018 GMC Terrain SLE: before you buy

    No 2018 GMC Terrain SLE is for sale by CarmaCars at the moment; this page helps you judge the car before you buy one elsewhere. Before you buy the 2018 GMC Terrain SLE, here is what the figures say and what to look at.

    Recalls and complaints

    NHTSA lists 5 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed. Owners filed 225 complaints with NHTSA, most often about service brakes, engine and power train; have those parts checked. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it.

    The figures, translated

    The engine is the 1.6L 4-cylinder turbo, with all-wheel drive and a 6-speed automatic. It runs on diesel, sold at most highway stations. All-wheel drive helps when pulling away on snow; braking and steering still depend on the tires.

    By the EPA's combined rating of 7.4 L/100 km, 300 km takes about 22 litres. In energy, every 100 km costs about $11.47 at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$3,000 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.

    Best uses

    Its all-wheel drive suits winter roads and trips to ski country. It suits anyone who needs a car for a few days, a week or a month without buying one.

    Room inside

    Being a compact SUV, it handles luggage, strollers and sports gear well. The trunk holds 850 litres by the EPA's count: bulky luggage, a stroller or sports gear.

    A longer test drive

    If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class. Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide. Rent it, live with it for a week, and decide with real experience.

    Which one to look for

    Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it.

    The cost of driving it

    A 1,000 km month costs roughly $114.70 at our price setting. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. The EPA estimates US$3,000 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices.

    Questions first?

    Ask about renting first, and buy with a clear head.
