My condolences...  I'll agree with that. On the plus side, you might become close friends with the GM service writer and his family
Never, ever argue with an IDIOT. They will drag you to their level and then beat you with their years of experience

That is the same platform as the Equinox. We have one here now and when you compare the Equinox and SRX to what Dodge is offering, it is easy to see why 'the dark side' won you over. Besides Dodge doesn't have a direct competitor to that platform.
The Equinox has been a solid and reliable vehicle for our customers. A neighbor has had 3 of them as his primary sales transportation and has gotten over 200k on each with minimum issues.

This is good hear. I bought a '20 Equinox last year off of my father-in-law. It was an off lease with 18k miles. Haven't had it long, but it's been trouble free. 1.5L turbo is surprisingly quick. Only bad things I can say about it is I don't like how it bitches with the safety equipment and nag messages constantly, but you get this with any newer model car. Brand loyalty to classics is fun. Brand loyalty to new daily drivers is silly.

Brand loyalty to new daily drivers is silly. The neighbor's had the old inline engine and then the V-6 engine in his, not the 1.5 turbo. We have that 1.5 turbo in a Malibu. It does okay, but has that inherent surge that GM says is normal. We have a statement from GM on their letterhead regarding this condition because it is so prevalent. But even still, some customers are not comfortable with it. I am not sure we will buy any more of them due to that issue.

Since my Mother passed, my daily has been her 2015 Corolla that she bought new. Has roughly 68K miles on it. She always had it serviced at the dealership she bought it from. Only thing outside of regular maintenance it needed was a windshield (caught someone's lug nut at 70 MPH). AC and 30 MPG is hard to beat. I still have my Dakota, but hardly drive it anymore.
