Chevy over another brand ?

[dodgeball12]

Good Morning,

I have owned many different brands of cars..but recently have been purchasing Subaru's which have been rock soild and a nice trade in value in a few years. In the past I have had GM cars and they were terrible but this was back in 1998/2000 era so I assume much has changed.
I find that I really like the looks of the new Equinox but my wife is hesitant to switch from "better" brands such as Honda, Subaru and such.
I know some answers might be biased but I am really interested in thoughts of current and long time Chevy owners.

Thanks in advance...

Hey there,

My wife drives a 2019 Subaru Crosstrek and I have an 2018 Equinox premier. Both cars have 2.0l engines. The crosstrek has 12.5/1 compression and the equinox has a turbo.
Crosstrek wins fuel economy
Equinox wins speed
Equinox wins comfort
Crosstrek wins bad weather driving, but the Equinox is close.
Equinox wins in room, but the Crosstrek would be closer in size to the trailblazer
The equinox has a leaky sunroof while the crosstrek has had the lower engine cover replaced and had a bad rattle that the dealer couldn't fix. Fortunately, i was able to fix it. The Airbox was shaking.
The take away, I think our cars fit us. I would also never buy a sunroof car again.

I was more worried about resale value at the 3 year mark but if they are close. I doubt I would have any failures then... Maybe I will lease this one? Thank you so much.
