Almost at 2 years in the Terrain, and I'm hitting a bit of a crossroad regarding vehicles.
I still sorta regret the whole "nah i'll spare the $2k and stick with FWD" if for nothing else than resale value. So im thinking of trading in for a new Terrain in Summit White which came out of course right AFTER i bought my Cyber Grey. I didn't care for the available white at the time, it was too creamy, but the Summit White has the POW factor that my 2003 Monte did and looks amazing with the black trim and tinted windows.
* this is my question in all the rambling of this post
Im thinking about getting a similarly optioned SLE2 again, just in AWD and white of course. Im hung up on Engine choice though. In FWD trim im impressed with the I4 but im wondering if the AWD will drag the I4 down or not or how much? Performance wise and mileage? Or not enough to really notice. Right now on my I4 FWD 2010 i am averaging 10.2 L/100km. Not stellar but much better than some other vehicles i have had.
* yup just that, lotsa rambling lol
Yes i know i would take a bit of a loss but i do have my 2004 Monte still hanging around for summer weekend use, and im really close to saying that's included in a trade since i really don't drive it anymore and could do without the extra insurance and car payment. (its done for payments in the spring).
The 'nox is also on my Radar but i never paid much attention to it in the past and it doesn't seem to option the same as the Terrain so to get the same options it seems to end up costing more than the $2000 GMC premium off base price.
