2006 Chevrolet Equinox review from North America
"Very surprised at the good quality"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
So far nothing has gone wrong with the car. The day I received it, I was called out of town on business and the car operated/performed flawlessly. I know it's still new, but coming off an 04 Acura RL I was pleasantly surprised.
General comments?
Good accessory package with everything I wanted in a new car.
Automatic, V6, leather seats, REGULAR gas, OnStar© and XM© radio.
Don't get me wrong, I loved my RL. Best and most comfortable seats I have ever sat in (and I have owned MANY cars). Never let me down. But the gas mileage and the need for premium gas was killing me. Also, I leased, and the leasing agency failed to mention the surcharge one must pay yearly in Texas to lease.
I wanted to trade up to an MDX, but I just didn't want to pay those monthly payments and still have to use premium gas. And I wanted to buy American.
This is my first American car in 20 years, but I swore I would do it. Buy American that is.
