Is a surprisingly capable AWD vehicle. There. I said it.
Definitely a different AWD system from Subaru. Its easy to get a little sideways, 10-15 degrees or so, but then it pulls power from the wheels and applies to breaks. Once its tracking "straight" you get control of the throttle again.
I wouldn't be comfortable racing it, but I have almost all the traction I want on snow-covered streets and parking lots.

Re: Chevy Equinox
I wonder how many wheel speed sensors you would need to disconnect before the nannys go away?
Patience is the ability to idle your motor when you feel like stripping your gears

Re: Chevy Equinox
Me being the hybrid car guy in the club with the Saabaru and the Subyota, I totally like GM's like this. You have a wealth of Opel, Citroen, Vauxhall or Holden stuffs available because they are all similar in using the theta platform. It looks good, is capable and is hopefully reliable.

Good rental car, I doubt I would ever own it...

Good choice putting $4,000 rims on your 1990 Honda Civic. That's like Betty White going out and getting her tits done.
