The best vehicle in 2018

2018 Chevrolet Equinox LT 4dr SUV AWD (1.5L 4cyl Turbo 6A)

I have driven several SUV's this year (2017) but nothing across the industry handles better than the AWD 1.5L Turbo 2018 Chevrolet Equinox. They also offer a 2.0L Turbo which gets 28 miles per gallon on the AWD system compared to the 30 + MPG I got while test driving the vehicle. For the 1st time I was able to switch my AWD system on of off which is not an option on the outback i currently drive. The Equinox has active noise cancelling triple seals on the doors and insulation in the wheel wells to make it the quietest vehicle on the road i have ever been in. Its a shame i cant implement all that into my house and have to listen to my kids screaming and crying all day. Back to the vehicle... I was able to enable the remote window operation and by holding down the unlock button the 2018 Chevrolet Equinox rolled down all the windows within seconds a feature i have never seen on any other vehicle in the market.

I bought this for my wife May 2018. Great vehicle. 50 mpg on a summer trip. 36 mpg in town. She absolutely loves her new ride.

Uncomfortable Front Seats

B Paul, 08/27/2018

The Front seats are Not for an adult man. The front seats are too small and too firm. The Cushion needs 2 more inches for thigh support and wider bolsters. The Backrest needs to be wider and softer bolsters. I feel like I am riding on the seat and not in the seat. Is this a child seat???? GM needs to fire the seat design engineer and seat comfort engineer.

Turbo Troubles??

Paul Perkins, 01/30/2019
2018 Chevrolet Equinox L 4dr SUV (1.5L 4cyl Turbo 6A)

I am driving a 2018 Chevy Equinox 1.5L Turbo DOHC 4-Cyl SIDI VVT. A year ago when it was new it went into the shop four times (three problems). The dealer service shop never really gave any good descriptions with their main saying being "we have never had a problem with this before...........". First time - engine light came on and warning showed that engine power greatly reduced. Car kept running but very slow acceleration. Had to take to dealer to have it reset - none of the extras such as remote start works with the engine light on. Next time was something with a vent tube out of the gas tank - they said it must have been hit by a rock flying up and cut the line - charged over a $1000 for a car with 7000 miles. Next time was another gas tank vent problem they said was plugged - repaired under warranty - two trips to get it repaired as they did not have the part. Today, the same engine light problem. Car kept running but sluggish since engine power was greatly reduced. Have to take it in again to get it reset. It was cold out but was running for two hours before the engine light came on - same as last year. This is a company fleet car and I would never buy a Chevy turbo car on my own. Not a fan of this car at all. Would also like to hear if anyone else had similar problems??

05/2018 You would only need the AWD in a state where you get snow or ice a lot. FWD would be fine in the south. The Mileage with this is GREAT! SO far 48.3 MPG highway and 33.5 MPG in the city
