Drive 2011 GMC Terrain. We keep it serviced but just found out it uses a LOT of oil. Just like a baby, you may need to feed it more. I've also noticed that each time we take a road trip afterwards we also have some type of serious problem with the engine, sensors or the like. That's what we purchased the car for is to use. We take a lot of road trips and we need the car to be TOTALLY reliable, short or long trips. Very disappointing.
