can't terraform Mars
No magnetosphere = no shield from solar wind = any atmosphere you create well just get stripped away again.

On geological timescales.
It's not like you'd notice a difference in air pressure from one day to the next.
Anyone living there would have time for civilisation to collapse and re-establish itself 2 or 3 times before needing to fetch some more comets.

When I talk about terraforming Mars, I'm more thinking about in enclosed, man-made ecosystems. Not so much altering the entire planet's atmosphere.
Terraforming was probably the wrong word to use in that context, although you would need to establish such a ridiculous amount of arable land in order to sustain the population, that calling it terraforming wouldn't be so far off the mark - even if it was in an enclosed system.
