#2128 of 2239 Re: cold weather noise [gmanyday] by rvoth Apr 01, 2009 (3:18 pm)
Replying to: gmanyday (Mar 31, 2009 6:30 pm) I have 08 LT AWD with 7108 km and had similar noises at -10 C and lower with the rear suspension. It one does it if i go over a sharp large bump in the road if mine continues in the warmer weather GM will be hearing about it. It sounds like the suspension is coming contact with the rubber travel stops making a knocking sound.     The sport Equinox sits two inches lower than the other Equinox's should make any real difference. Thanks for letting me know about your NOX.
#2129 of 2239 Any consensus on its durability by juststeve Apr 02, 2009 (11:29 am)
Am making a buying choice where, on the face of it, the Equinox looks to be an attractive alternative to a RAV or a CRV. I'm concentrating on vehicles 2-5 years old, Hondas and Toyotas have a reputation of reliability...is the book in on 100K+ Equinoxes?   many thankx --steve...

Replying to: juststeve (Apr 02, 2009 11:29 am) If your using the Nox for city driving it gets below average mileage but the V-6 is very torquie and accelerates very well for a mid size SUV. I would stay away from 2005 year NOX ,first year, and has had some problems . Cost to operation and maintenance is lower than CRV and RAV ,resale value is lower and reliabity is good .    My 08 NOX, I will keep until the family out grows the capacity size and hauling . Good ride and average interior quality, not so comfortable driver's seat could , they should have used the seat from the Mailbu which has alot much more support.    Overall if the price is right and don't mine GM quality it's a great buy for the buck.

Replying to: juststeve (Apr 02, 2009 11:29 am) The equinox as most G.M products should prove to be very reliable in the long run,in terms of value for your money its right up there. I'm a certified automotive technician for the past 13 years and I can honestly tell you that if you maintain the vehicle properly it will last just as long if not longer than its japanese counterparts.Honda CR-V's, as well as Toyota Rav-4"s that are post year 2000 are nowhere near as reliable as the pre 2000 vehicles, drivetrain problems, especially transmission related have become commonplace with these vehicles,contrary to popular belief these vehicles no longer sport the "legendary reliability" badge they used to.We are seeing more and more of them in the shop as time goes on.

Replying to: gmanyday (Apr 02, 2009 6:54 pm) I have to agree with you, I have done regular maintenance on my 1990 Beretta and still runs very well just starting to show rust now.  Change all the fluids and grease the suspension regularly care and attention and follow the maintenance schedule . It's nineteen years old with 318000 km and has service it's duty as regular and reliable transportion with some classic lines..Maybe having the five speed tranny and the 3.1 v-6 helped it from becoming a statics before other Beretta's from the same generation.

#2136 of 2239 Winter tires by laserblue Apr 04, 2009 (3:32 pm)
Can someone tell me what's the best way to store 4 winter tires till next year (the tires are off the rim). I see people store them different ways. There must be only 1 good way to store them for so long? Replies to this message: steve_ (Apr 04, 2009 4:06 pm)

Replying to: laserblue (Apr 04, 2009 3:32 pm) The Tire Rack says to bag them and stack them in your basement.
