Chevy Equinox

This week's vehicle was in interesting one. I think the Chevy Equinox qualifies as a Crossover Utility Vehicle (CUV).

It stands tall so is easy for me to get in and out of. It drives sort of like a truck though. The windshield rakes very steeply and made it hard for me to see stop lights when you pulled up to them.

The most irritating thing was that the power window controls are all in the center console. I don't think I would ever get used to that.

One thing that GM and Chevrolet should get credit for is the transmission. I've had a couple of other GM vehicles and the automatic transmissions on all of them have been outstanding. The shifting is smooth. The down shifting when accelerating is not abrupt or jerky.
