Pros: What do you like about 2005 Buick Terraza?
Love the leather, DVD player, and automatic features. Purchased this after owning a 2008 Silverado and love that is resembles an SUV more than a van.
Love the multi disk player.
Cannot say I love anything regarding the engine!

Cons: How would you improve 2005 Buick Terraza?
Back door needs to be automatic.
BAD choice of carpeting...stains ridiculously easy.
Most importantly I am experiencing MAJOR issues with gas mileage. It failed emissions prior to my purchase and since the dealership has sold it to me after fixing (supposedly) the emissions issue, I have had nothing but horrrrrrrrible gas mileage. Estimating at about 10-12 mpg.
Pick up is minimal.
Also for it to be a 2005 the AC is a joke. I sweat most of the time.
I am a GM lover, but have really been let down with Buick.

2005 Buick Terraza Review:
Beware buyers who see this beauty and think it is amazing for the price. Underneath the hood lies more issues than you could imagine. We payed for this cash but it is still sucking us dry. Good vehicle for someone who is an experienced mechanic as you might be able to fix it for less. Otherwise stay away.

Pros: What do you like about 2005 Buick Terraza?
I love the DVD player and the electrical socket.
I love all the cup holders and front and rear a/c and heat.
I also love the drivers side seat memory. Very cool.
Great on gas.
Sound system is amazing.
Wireless headphones for kids is a plus. I can listen to my music and they can watch their movies at the same time.
I love the look of the van. It gets confused for a truck all the time, which is what I was going for.
AWD is excellent as well.

Cons: How would you improve 2005 Buick Terraza?
The middle seats should have more room.
My driver's side heating seat system does not work and my inside lights on my driver's left side are all fading out. There seems to be an electrical issue.
Also the steering is not as easy to maneuver as I assumed. This is my second mini van, and this one is a lot more stiff than the other.
I also would allow the middle rows windows to open. It would prevent me from having to use my air so much.

2005 Buick Terraza Review:
Overall, I love my Terraza. I do see myself having to get new brakes soon, but other than that the van has been great to me. It could definitely use some improving, but overall...good van. I'm happy with it. Nothing's perfect, right?

Pros: What do you like about 2005 Buick Terraza?
Outside look very sporty.
DVD player.

Cons: How would you improve 2005 Buick Terraza?
ABS and TC light off and on for no reason.
Cup holder in front does not have a small enough space to keep water bottles in place.
Gas tank will drain out if parked downhill.

2005 Buick Terraza Review:
Overall, I enjoy my Terraza. It is a 2005, and it fits me and my 3 children (plus my boyfriend, his daughter, and the dog sometimes), very well. Kids love the DVD player, gets good gas mileage. Only the ABS and TC lights coming on occasionally make it any sort of bad review. I enjoy driving this vehicle immensely.

Pros: What do you like about 2005 Buick Terraza?
The van has performed great. I now have 96000 miles on van. Never a tune up. Good gas mileage.

Cons: How would you improve 2005 Buick Terraza?
Worst tires ever and good year was no help. I finally bought another brand & solved the problem.

Also have had a problem with the abs. Lights coming on & no one has ever corrected this to date.

Other than these, van has been great. I have $2700 in points but no dealer with in 50 miles. Sure wish you could look at this problem. I WILL NOT DRIVE THIS DISTANCE FOR SERVICE.

Pros: What do you like about 2005 Buick Terraza?
Not much to like after owning it for only three months, new fuel sender, doors fixed twice, cup holder falling out, won't run, loss of all power and will not accelerate, cannot get over ten miles and hour, check engine light on and cuts out.

Cons: How would you improve 2005 Buick Terraza?
Stop making it and start over with a new model and throw away all the engineering plans on this one.

2005 Buick Terraza Review:
Poor design, poor craftsmanship.

Cons: How would you improve 2005 Buick Terraza?
KEEP IT OUT OF THE SHOP FOR REAR END PROBLEMS. THIS WILL BE OUR 4TH TIME TO HAVE TO TAKE IT BACK TO THE DEALER FOR THE SAME PROBLEMS. THE REAR END STARTS GROWLING WHEN YOU START TURNING, THIS HAS ALL READY HAPPENED 3 TIMES IN THE PAST.

2005 Buick Terraza Review:
IT SUCKS BECAUSE OF ALL THE PROBLEMS WE HAVE HAD WITH THIS PRODUCT.
