2019 Chevy Equinox, low range trim(?) . Black on black isnt the color scheme I’d buy, but whatever . Interior is plastic fantastic, not even fake wood or piano black trim! New Car Smell is pleasant but not overwhelming.

I’m g etting used to using a start button as well as   the start/s stop engine . I quite d islike the Rando-Shift TM   transmission...

I think th is thing   does have enough power - if only i t were just applied correctly & consistently .

Visibility is good! Its been awhile since I could say that about a car I was driving.

Infotainment system is very responsive - these things might finally be on par with cel phones in that area. I do miss the ability to pause/rwd/ff the radio as in my Colorado. Why remove that Chevy?

I had a rental Cruze once. Everything was acceptable but the seats sucked ass and trim was coming off at 17k miles.  Same for the Equinox?

This thing is brand new, so nothing falling off yet.

The seats are quite s tiff ly bolstered. I don’t hate it, but I think any, ahem, full-bodied adult probably won’t like it.

As a Real Person™, how many JD Power Awards would you give it? Could that be increased if it were placed behind one or more l arge doors ?

My work has two 2019 Equinox’s. They are actually surprisingly roomy, and the back seats are comfortable even for 6-4 230something me. That’s assuming the person in front is 5-10 or under.

I think I read somewhere that   the reason they never show the Real People ™ driving, is that they all tried to run over the annoying host guy...
