2010 GMC Terrain: The Things You Touch Everyday

How do the materials you showed here stack up against other vehicles in your fleet at the same time points? I figured that time more than miles would make a car look beat up in general.

The dark colors definitely help, but yeah besides the driver's seat leather it looks like new.

The interior is absolutely stellar, and it's what ultimately sold me on the Terrain -- or it WOULD have, if there had been any Terrains available in L.A. when I was shopping this past summer! I ended up with a Rogue, the interior of which is sporty and well put-together -- but it's no Terrain. My consolation is better driving dynamics and the lower transaction price.

I have sat in an equinox and Rogue and agree that the chevy/gmc easily have the best in class interior. Honestly i thought the Nissan was pathetic. Its uninspired and unoriginal. its just boring, and the outside isn't much better. Its just such a blah product. Im glad it at least drives okay! But I would take the GM's any day for their stellar quality.

This is a great interior, then... my mom's Trailblazer 2SS's leather interior was crinkling and falling apart (with regular maintenance) within 5K miles. Just awful.

Quite impressed with how far GM has come in only four years.

Black interiors FTW. They may be warmer in the sun, but they sure look better long term.

predictably this positive posting garnered few comments. Put up a post about this thing getting 30mpg on a road trip and the vultures will descend and you'll get at least 50 comments.

"gas hog"? Any 3800lb vehicle that averages 21mpg is hardly a "gas hog" in my book.

since this is on the way out I suggest getting a Journey V6 or Durango or JGC.

A Charger or 300 would be nice as well although they wouldnt be direct replacements for this vehicle.

ANY car is a gas hog that gets only 21 MPG. I dont grade on the curve. Oil is on the rise again and crappy mpgs is crappy mpgs. If you drove this gutless piggy it would be even less since you dont drive on the freeway that much. All of these great selling big cars will be gathering dust on dealer lots very soon if prices hit $3.50 a gallon by February.... it will all over, AGAIN for big SUVs (and "small" ones like this.)

"Crappy" mileage is crappy mileage no matter what one pays for gas.

But back to the topic at hand...

@slickersdrip:

I think older GM leather was some pretty cheap stuff (at least in Chevrolet guise) as it was a vinyl/leather hybrid of sorts.

Even worse than the GM stuff was the Ford leather. While it felt a little better than GM's of that vintage (late 80's through early 00's), it did not last at all.

This interior looks great; all the more so considering how hard the drivers in this group are.

what does the mileage have to do with the interior durability? Nothing.

@1487 - I second your Mopar nominations. If the 2011 Journey had been available in 2010, I have a feeling it would have been a major contender in my cross-shopping. I already liked the functionality of that CUV, but with the new interior & Pentastar engine it deserves a serious look.

But something tells me they will get a JGC at least.

hopefully so, the Challenger is gone and Chrysler has some worthy vehicles on the horizon. They should add two really.

Focus and Volt should be added as well. It would be good to have Focus and Cruze here at the same time.
