The 2015 GMC Terrain for buyers
CarmaCars rents cars; this page helps you judge the 2015 GMC Terrain before you buy one elsewhere. We are not a lender and do not arrange loans. A monthly rental can cover the time while you arrange financing with your bank. Before you buy the 2015 GMC Terrain, here is what the figures say and what to look at.
Recalls and complaints
NHTSA lists 3 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered.
The figures, translated
Its powertrain is the 2.4L 4-cylinder 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. The EPA estimates US$2,600 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.
Space and size
Being a compact SUV, it handles luggage, strollers and sports gear well. Its 793 litres of luggage space fit bulky luggage, a stroller or sports gear.
Who it is for
It suits someone whose own car is in the shop for a while. It suits people curious about the model who want to drive it before they buy.
A longer test drive
Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide. A test week in the Terrain tells you more than any review. Rent first, buy later: a week with the Terrain answers the big questions.
The cost of driving it
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. The EPA estimates US$2,600 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Year and trim
Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices.
