Thinking of buying the 2018 GMC Terrain?
CarmaCars is a rental company and does not have the 2018 GMC Terrain for sale right now. Rent one for a week first, or ask us to look for one. We are not a lender and do not arrange loans. A monthly rental can cover the time while you arrange financing with your bank. Buying the 2018 GMC Terrain is a big decision; here is the information we have.
Before you sign for the Terrain
A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. Owners filed 225 complaints with NHTSA, most often about service brakes, engine and power train; have those parts checked. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. NHTSA lists 5 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed.
Reading the spec sheet
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. With all-wheel drive, it pulls away more surely on slippery roads, though it does not stop any shorter.
At 7.4 L/100 km combined, a 300 km drive takes roughly 22 litres of fuel. That works out to about $11.47 per 100 km at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$3,000 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.
The Terrain in everyday use
As a compact SUV, it sits higher than a sedan, which makes getting in and loading easier. Luggage space is rated at 850 litres: bulky luggage, a stroller or sports gear.
Good uses for the Terrain
Families, skiers and anyone with bulky luggage. It suits people curious about the model who want to drive it before they buy.
Try before you buy
Drive the Terrain on your commute before you commit to it. Renting first costs a fraction of the price of buying the wrong car. If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class.
The cost of driving it
Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $114.70 at our price setting.
Year and trim
A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices.
