Now we're truckin'! I was ready to whine about the Equinox. But in all honesty, aside from the expected shortcomings of pretty much all GM cars, its not that bad. This opinion could be tainted by the car i'm driving this week which is a true automotive abomination, and is completely rant worthy.
So the Equinox. Yes the dash makes no attempt of being anything other than a large sheet of pressed plastic.
Basically the look and feel of everything could be best described as Flea Market Chic. The Artsy square fabric with the big plastic handle from what felt like recycled Coleman coolers.
Mechanically speaking, there really wasn't much to complain about. Ride was comfortable, very much like the Outback from the previous week. The engine was no less powerful than the Subaru. The overall feel of the car was solid. Of course this is a new car. A few short years would see all those hard plastic bits on the interior squeaking against one another, but for now it was quite comfortable. I averaged about 25 mpg which was also on par with the Subaru.
In conclusion, the Equinox was only memorable because it wasn't as awful as it could have been. Not really rant worthy or rave worthy.
