THE CAR: 2018 Equinox FWD LT 2.0T
There is something to be said about driving a Chevrolet Equinox. You can say it again and again and again, and you’d be right every time. The ride is exceptional. This SUV rides even better than it looks – and that’s saying something because it looks fantastic.
Considered on the top choices for compact crossovers, this SUV is stylish. It’s so stylish the Equinox makes you look like you have money – even if you don’t. This car is one of my favorites. It’s a joy to drive.
The Equinox was downsized so that it would more along the lines of other compact SUVs like the Toyota Rav4, the Ford Escape, and the Honda CR-V. This SUV has been getting favorable reviews.
