OK, over the past couple weeks we have traveled in our 4 cylinder Terrain from NJ to SC to FL. Here in FL I have done a lot of local driving (shopping to fill a newly purchased condo). There is a lot to love. But to keep this short, there is one major disapointment and one issue that I should have expected.
First of all, my gas milage and tank range is much lower than expected. Yes I drive 5 miles over the limit, so when I can do 70 mph on I-90, I do 75. The same trip that we have done numerious times in our 6 cylinder Grand Prix in less than two tanks of gas, the Terrain needed more than two tanks.
The second bump in the road is how under powered the vehicle is. In local traffic, from a stop light I feel like I need to get out and push to help get going (and I am gentle on the gas pedal). But it is a big vehicle with a small engine. Duh..... I have not had the AC on, but if it takes much power I'm going to always have to stay in the slow lane......
