The Edge really wasn't half bad - I actually didn't mind that car, and we pounded around on semi-paved roads and beaches and it was great.
The Equinox, on the other hand, is an abject study of GM's failures. It was such a P.O.S. I won't even give it any more description here. If I'd have taken it just one inch off the pavement, I'm positive it would have just collapsed in a heap of worthless parts. It also couldn't decide which gear it wanted to be in between 1500 and 1800 rpm, so just continually shifted.
I hate the Chevy Equinox.
