you did not do your homework on the Equinox. 1. you can cancel the auto stop start problem by putting the gear shift in low and use the plus on top of the shifter to go through the six gears & leave it at 6th gear you can see the gear changes on the dashboard. you need to do this every time you start the car, put in low and use the plus on top of the knob take it up to 6th gear. THE CAR WILL SHIFT NORMALLY ONCE YOU SEE THE NUMBER 6 2. You need to use the info. screen to add more displays. I found it and added battery volts, coolant temp & oil pressure. City driving with pot holes it can be a little rough. She handles really well on the highways. My Equinox is a little over four years old now. mileage is 71,000. My service guys at the dealership say I take really good care of the Equinox. I have heated seats, wish I would have ordered the heated steering wheel. Living in the northeast can be pretty cold
"If you think you hate it now, give it a week". GM has a way of lowering people's standards so that you end up accepting a vehicle you think sucked at first. I had a choice between one of those Equinoxes, a Buick Encore, a Malibu or the Altima SR I chose. I'm not in love with the Altima but I'm glad I didn't choose one of the GM's. GM is doing something wrong. I went out and checked and the Altima, with a 2.5L engine, no stop/start and an extra 150lbs of crap in the trunk is averaging 37 mpg even with my heavy foot. One person at work did pick a 2021 Equinox at and broke down at about 6,000 miles because the air charge pipe blew off the throttle body(GM claims they have solved this...they haven't). There are a couple Encores also...we'll see how they all hold up over 150K.
I’d pick the Altima out of those. Yeah the mpg was disappointing, I think the little 1.5 has to work too hard to get good mpg. Interstate cruising around 70mph and it’s at about 3000 rpms.
This is nonsense. Music people love the ease of use. It also makes talking on the phone entirely hands free. All done by voice control. It also allows you to do any gps software that you can have.😊
