Hits: Smooth power and shifts, easy step-in height and good cargo room. Comfy, stylish and quiet interior with sharp looking seats and trim. Model comes with rear-view camera and three-speed heated front seats. Will run on E85 fuel.
Misses: Ride is choppy on sharp bumps and the ute feels heavy with heavy steering that groans at low speeds. HHR-like fenders make Terrain look dated compared to Chevy cousin, Equinox.
