During the COVID-19
lockdown and crisis of 2020, I was informed by my company's fleet
department that my new company vehicle had arrived at the dealership in
Woodland, CA so I could go pick it up anytime. Although some car
dealerships were closed during this time, Woodland Motors was open so I
was able to make an appointment and get my brand new 2020 GMC Terrain
SLE AWD SUV! The primary feature I looked for when shopping for a
new company car was the adaptive cruise control. My company had
five choices of vehicles we could choose from including the Subaru
Forester, Subaru Outback, Chevrolet Equinox LT, Jeep Cherokee, and the
GMC Terrain. The three vehicles with the adaptive cruise control
were the two Subaru models and the GMC Terrain. Since I had a
Subaru Forester prior to this vehicle for my company car, I went with
the GMC Terrain! I love the GMC! This car drives very
smooth, and it has plenty of power. The interior is more
luxurious than Chevrolets.
My company loaded up the vehicle really well too for
me. They paid for pretty much every option package except
for the moonroof. My company is very generous when it comes to
our company vehicles. They look for safety as the #1 feature in
our company vehicles, but they also make the cars comfortable with
heated seats, satellite radios, and automatic climate control
systems. I also enjoy the OnStar features of this car. The
navigation package was paid for by my company, but the OnStar service
allowed me to push a button and have an operator look up a location for
me and send the directions to my car. Moreover, the MyGMC app let
me remotely start the vehicle. The car even had a safety alert
seat which have gentle vibrations to warn me of any hazzards. I
turned that feature off however. The car does blind spot
monitoring, lane assist, and of course the adapative cruise control!
