I know all to well about swapping vehicles and not being happy with the outcome. We recently traded our crew-cab 12' Silverado 4x4 in on a 13' Cadillac CTS AWD coupe, needless to say my wife is waaaaay less than impressed with the Cadillac... It's a situation of sucking it up for the time being as trading or selling it leaves us with more of a loss than I'm willing to eat. It sucks ass!
Yeah. . . it's pretty incredible how little a test drive and even the initial curb appeal of a car can tell you about your long-term satisfaction with it. The Terrain was never a long term solution (which is the sole reason I leased it) but it was kind of a hold-me-over until some of the model year refreshes and redesigns came out. I've always liked the way Terrains looked and enjoyed the test drives. . . but man. . . I don't know how I'm going to be able to make it to the end of the lease with it. Never thought I'd hate such an otherwise nice car.
