A buyer's checks

Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. Owners filed 186 complaints with NHTSA, most often about service brakes, engine and power train; have those parts checked. There are 3 NHTSA recall campaigns on file; a dealer can check by the VIN whether each was done.

Under the hood

Power comes from the 1.6L 4-cylinder turbo, driving through a 6-speed automatic. It runs on diesel, sold at most highway stations. With all-wheel drive, it pulls away more surely on slippery roads, though it does not stop any shorter.

Plan on about 22 litres per 300 km; the combined rating is 7.4 L/100 km. A 300 km round trip costs roughly $34.41 at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$3,000 a year for 15,000 miles.

What to expect from the Terrain

Being a compact SUV, it handles luggage, strollers and sports gear well. Luggage space is rated at 368 litres: about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.

Who rents the Terrain

It suits a work trip where a reliable car matters more than anything else. Families, skiers and anyone with bulky luggage.

Try before you buy

A test week in the Terrain tells you more than any review. If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class. If the Terrain is in our fleet, its page shows the rates; if not, a similar car helps you judge.

Money matters

The EPA estimates US$3,000 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary.

Which one to look for

If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history.
