Auto loans: the 2018 GMC Terrain
CarmaCars rents cars and does not sell the 2018 GMC Terrain; this page helps you judge it before you buy one elsewhere. CarmaCars does not finance cars. Renting is not a loan, so there is no credit check to rent. Here is what to know about the 2018 GMC Terrain before buying one.
Recalls and complaints
Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. NHTSA has 225 owner complaints on file, mostly about service brakes, engine and power train.
What the specs mean
Its 1.6L 4-cylinder turbo drives through a 6-speed automatic. It runs on diesel, sold at most highway stations. All-wheel drive sends power to all four wheels, which helps on snow and wet roads; good tires still matter most.
Its combined rating is 7.4 L/100 km, which means roughly 22 litres for 300 km. Driving 300 km costs roughly $34.41 at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$3,000 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Space, size and seats
The higher seat of a compact SUV gives a good view of the road in traffic. For luggage, 850 litres means bulky luggage, a stroller or sports gear.
Is it right for your trip?
It suits a stretch between cars, by the week or the month. It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next.
Try before you buy
A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. If the Terrain is in our fleet, its page shows the rates; if not, a similar car helps you judge. Rent first, buy later: a week with the Terrain answers the big questions.
What it costs to run
The EPA estimates US$3,000 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary.
Choosing the right one
Within the 2018 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which. Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay. If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first.
