Hi, as a newbie to the site, had to start by saying WOW! Love Dano's and GMC_ Noob, Dano,Scooby 24 pix! We buy nothing but white and black autos. Love the Terrain in white. The chrome pack is a nice touch too.
We just drove at a GM Drive Event yesterday, 2 Terrains and Caddy SRX. SRX was 3L v-6 (both Turbo and standard eng.) Terrains were both AWD 4 & 6 Cyl.
In a nutshell.............SRX was def a tiny, but noticeable, bit quieter and silkier. Seats (bottoms and backs cushions) were VERY firm however, compared to the Terrains. And the 2nd row did NOT slide back 10" , as the Terrains do, for taller passengers.(possible deal-breaker?) Only the Turbo SRX was a definite Hoot to drive. (300 HP/296ft. lbs @ 1900 RPM! ) But for $49K , extremely nicely dressed, it better be. Terrain, as we'd equip it was $37K. The 4 and 6 cyl Terrains both had ample power, (w/ AC & 3 adults on-board!) but the 6 had more grunt, when downshifting. Only highway acceleration needs to be planned, a tiny bit more, with the 4. Not a deal-breaker considering I'd drive about 3-4K extra miles free, every year, with the 4's great gas mileage! Noise/ride was near luxo class and better than recent Hyundai/Honda SUV rides I traveled in. Only Caddy was as quiet as our Enclave, but not as soft a ride. The Enclave, if you haven't heard, truly rivals/surpasses the almighty Lexus in these areas ;D
In a nutshell, we love the white Terrain /SRX rides! We will order/grab one, in about 2-3 months as our current Buick Enclave lease expires. Decisions, decisions.......
Thanks to all the great members here for your reports/opinions/Pix. Look forward to reading more in upcoming days.
