| Probably a push and pop like my Malibu... which is just fine. | |
While getting my 06 Impala serviced at the Chevy dealer, I checked out the new '10 Equinox on the showroom floor. The body looked nice from the outside. I opened the passenger side door and noticed what looked like perforated style fabric on the seats. A lot different that most other seat covering materials and I though it was attractive. I also inquired about the four cylinder wherupon I was told that there also will be a 6 available. Once in the( high step up) drivers seat I noticed the pleasant design of the dash and the logical controls as well as the pop up compartment on the dash at the top of the center stack. It reminded me of the convenience of the popup compartment in my previous Ford 500. The shifter had a rocker type switch to the driver side and the stick had a manual slot on the faceplate to put the shifter. I was told that to use the shifter as a manumatic one had to place the shifter down to the manual detent and then use the rocker on the upper part of the shifter to select the gear - another odd situation form any other manumatic I have driven! As I tried to adjust the seat I found that there was power up and down and seat back adjustments but no power forward and back just a lever at the right front of the drivers seat to manually adjust it. I thought that odd. While my grandson played around in the back seat I noticed that the vehicle had some huge blind spots and the more I looked the more I noticed that it would be like driving in a tunnel all the time! Backing up would really be hard for my wife and I probably would not trust backing up either without some kind of assistance. This was an LT model and while it was the only one they had (salesman stating that they just got it in a few days ago) I had no actual test drive but after the initial perusal I deemed it not in the running for my new vehicle next spring.

I drive a 05 Equinox and I like it very much. My daughter went to her G.M. dealer, she wants to buy a 09 Aveo 5. The dealer told her that the 1.6 L. engine in the 09 models has 16 valves and develop 108 h/p compared to the 08 models 1.6 L. engines with 8 valves that develop 103 h/p. Does 5 h/p make a big difference in a car or it's the valve story that makes a difference? She does mostly city commuting but take 1 long road trip every year crossing the Appalachians or the Rockies. Is this Aveo5 car good for her ? She seems to be in love with it but is it love at first sight?
