2006 Buick Terraza Highlights

"Buick's minivan adds a safety feature and a more powerful engine option for 2006. Terraza shares its basic design with the Chevrolet Uplander, Pontiac SV6, and Saturn Relay. It's the costliest, most luxurious of the group. Terraza comes in CX and uplevel CXL models, both with seats for seven. Power sliding side doors are available. Terraza comes with front- or all-wheel drive. The base engine is a 201-hp V6 (196 hp with AWD). Newly optional for front-drive models is a 235-hp V6. Both engines use a 4-speed automatic transmission. Front-drive models get GM's Stabilitrak traction/antiskid control system. ABS and OnStar assistance are standard. Terraza has 2nd-row bucket seats that fold and remove and a 50/50 3rd-row bench that folds but not into the floor. For 2006, the available front side airbags are joined by side airbags for the 2nd-row seats. Both provide head and torso protection and are standard on CXL, optional for CX. Standard equipment includes load-leveling suspension and rear DVD entertainment. Rear air conditioning and a rear cargo organizer are standard on CXL, optional on CX. Other options include rear obstacle detection, navigation system, and remote engine start. Terraza's performance and accommodations mirror those of similarly equipped Uplanders."
2006 Buick Terraza News

"All of GM's ""crossover sport vans"" amount to new wine in a now very old bottle, so it's anyone's guess how long they will hang around. Regardless, Terraza and its nameplate cousins aren't likely to change much over the next couple of years."
2006 Buick Terraza Competition

"Consumer Guide® Automotive places each vehicle into one of 17 classes based on size, price, and market position. Long the choice as the family hauler, Minivans are easily the smartest use of space for passengers and cargo. These vehicles offer a fantastic blend of comfort, convenience, and safety features for the modern family.
Our Best Buys include Chrysler Town & Country, Dodge Caravan, and Honda Odyssey. Our Recommended pick is Toyota Sienna.
Kia Sedona is new or significantly redesigned."

2006 Buick Terraza Write Ups
 

Acceleration
"GM quotes 10.5 sec 0-60 mph for front-drive models, 11.2 for AWD versions. However, they feel livelier than those numbers suggest and compare well with most rivals. The AWD's extra weight is felt more from a stop than during passing/merging. No opportunity to test with 3.9-liter V6. "

Value
"A comfortable ride, available all-wheel drive, and standard rear DVD entertainment are Terraza's prime assets. But the rear seating rows and cargo area lack the design advances found in minivans from Chrysler, Honda, Toyota, and now even Hyundai and Kia. Buick's minivan is competent, but there is no compelling reason to choose it over our Best Buy and Recommended minivan choices."

Ride
"Most bumps easily absorbed, highway ride comfortable. AWD has no noticeable effect on ride quality. Despite standard load-leveling rear suspension, Terraza wallows over even minor bumps and crests."

Economy
Test FWD 3.5 CXL averaged 18.2-19.1 mpg. Test AWD CXL averaged 19.4 mpg in mostly highway driving.

Noise
"Side mirrors generate wind noise at highway speed. Engine well-muffled. Tire noise just a rumor up front, but prominent in back where kids might have a difficult time hearing front passengers."

Comfort - Front
"Low step-in makes climbing aboard a simple matter. Generous head and leg room. Fine outward visibility, helped by large mirrors."

Comfort - Rear
"Good 2nd- and 3rd-row head and leg room. Narrow space between 2nd-row buckets makes access to 3rd row more difficult than in some competitors. Third-row seats set too close to floor for best adult comfort; fine for kids, though."

Controls
"Gauges unobstructed. All controls legible and easily accessible. Dashboard materials and controls have an upscale flair. Dashboard trays and drawers, as well as headphone compartments set into front seatbacks, made of budget-grade plastic. Standard rear DVD player a plus for families."

Cargo Room
"Second-row buckets don't fold into floor, but are light enough for easy removal. Third-row seat doesn't disappear into floor either, but folds level with a cargo-area convenience tray that stands about 4 inches above the floor. The available rear cargo organizer is handy for groceries and other items, but GM's minivans don't have as much storage space behind the 3rd-row seat as those rivals that have a well. "
