| Price of the Chevrolet Equinox: Cons | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2011 | 4dr SUV 182-horsepower 2.4L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD | Except for GM supplier pricing, no budging on price. Much more expensive compared to Escape |
| 2011 | 4dr SUV 182-horsepower 2.4L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD | Price with our desired features was higher than same features in Terrain. |
| 2011 | 4dr SUV 182-horsepower 2.4L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD | No discounts available, since the car is very popular. |
| 2010 | 4dr SUV 182-horsepower 2.4L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD | Equinox had a comparible price range, but there financing was not as attractive as Ford |

| Price of the Toyota Highlander: Pros | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2009 | 4dr SUV 187-horsepower 2.7L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD | We were able to get a new Highlander for much less money than a Honda Pilot and still get all the features we desired (larger than a Rav4/CRV, >20 MPG city, leather, and full compliment of air bags/antilock/traction control) |
| 2007 | 4dr SUV 155-horsepower 2.4L I4 4-speed automatic FWD | I got it for a good price making it an easy decsision to purchase |
| Price of the Toyota Highlander: Cons | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2011 | 4dr SUV 270-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD | Felt some options missing for $38K vehicle such as memory settings, more detailed tire monitoring |
| 2009 | 4dr SUV 270-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD | VW was offering a sizeable discount on the Routan, a similar Highlander was from 8 to 10K more |
| 2009 | 4dr SUV 270-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic AWD | you pay for the reputation. |
| 2008 | 4dr SUV 270-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD | More expensive then Pathfinder for same year and higher milage vehicles. |
| 2008 | 4dr SUV 270-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD | Because you had to purchase features you did not want, the vehicle was much more pricey than others with the same features. They charged a premium for basic features included with other makes of cars. |
| 2008 | 4dr SUV 270-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic AWD | Over priced because was new model at time I was looking. Configured with unwanted trim and features vs competition. |
| 2006 | 4dr SUV 208-horsepower 3.3L V6 Hybrid CVT AWD | I paid full MSRP. |

What Our Members Are Saying about Chevrolet Equinox Materials and Workmanship
| Available Features of the Chevrolet Equinox: Pros | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2011 | 4dr SUV 182-horsepower 2.4L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
Not a single squeak, rattle, or poorly fitting interior or exterior part. |
| Materials and Workmanship of the Chevrolet Equinox: Cons | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2011 | 4dr SUV 182-horsepower 2.4L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
Seems cheap - welds, seams, etc. |
| 2010 | 4dr SUV 182-horsepower 2.4L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
When shopping for a small SUV I took my time and spread it over 3 weeks...meaning I had time to really look at the vehicles I was considering. Having not owned a domestic in over 20 years, I was expecting the fit and finish to not be to import standards..I was wrong. The paint quality, panel gaps and general fit and finish were as good or better than some of the imports I cross shopped. Very surprised.. |
| 2007 | 4dr SUV 185-horsepower 3.4L V6 5-speed automatic AWD |
Terrible craftsmanship. Cheapest materials that GM could get their hands on. Lots of rattles and squeaks. The engine makes alot of noise, very irritating. Seats are not that comfortable, especially on long road trips. Just a poorly built car. Period. |
| 2005 | 4dr SUV 185-horsepower 3.4L V6 5-speed automatic AWD |
When left outside during a rain storm, gallons of water will seep into the tire well. Had to have a profesionall glass company seel it, local mechanics wouldn't touch it. |
| 2005 | 4dr SUV 185-horsepower 3.4L V6 5-speed automatic FWD |
Fit and finish poor in the interior. |
What Our Members Are Saying about Toyota Highlander Materials and Workmanship
| Available Features of the Toyota Highlander: Pros | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2008 | 4dr SUV 270-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
Trim and fit is well executed. Controls are well positioned for easy reach and intuitive use. |
| 2008 | 4dr SUV 270-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
Fit and finish are first rate. Paint jobis exceptional. Leather seats are sturdy and should hold up under rough usage. |
| 2006 | 4dr SUV 215-horsepower 3.3L V6 5-speed automatic AWD |
Will hold up over time; easy to keep clean and looking new |
| 2006 | 4dr SUV 208-horsepower 3.3L V6 Hybrid CVT AWD |
Toyota quality is there to to bottom. |
| 2006 | 4dr SUV 208-horsepower 3.3L V6 Hybrid CVT FWD |
Toyota, made in Japan. |
| 2006 | 4dr SUV 215-horsepower 3.3L V6 5-speed automatic AWD |
Typical great Toyota craftsmanship. |
| 2004 | 4dr SUV 230-horsepower 3.3L V6 5-speed automatic FWD |
Fit and finish is great; no indication of rust anywhere after 6 years; |
| Materials and Workmanship of the Toyota Highlander: Cons | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2009 | 4dr SUV 270-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
The "leather" or whatever it was on the seats seemed hard and uninviting. |
| 2008 | 4dr SUV 270-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
A lot of poor interior materials - headliner, hard plastics on dash, some key controls (door locks, mirror adjustment) unlit at night |
| 2008 | 4dr SUV 270-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
looks cheap inside. |
