Why did you test a Terrain and an Equinox with both 4cyl and you didnt test the V6 engine ?

[mpgomatic]

@SuperMat64 We test whatever shows up in the driveway, when it shows up. With luck, we'll get to test the V6 down the road.

yea but for a 2.4 and being that its placed in a small SUV and geared for economy its not bad, GM didnt make this so people can win races with it

[cerwinvegafan]

thats pretty good for a small 4 cylinder and a decently sized suv

my moms minivan got 7.2 secs... and its 8 years old

@ajazaad Yeah but you want the 2.4L if you dont have a alot of things to tow or haul. I would get the 3.0L V6 because I got things to tow and carry. Even though im 14 years old. LOL.

Im getting a Rendezvous between 16 and 18. Loaded CXL version too. Well I hope.

yea this is good , whenever u buy a suv ,, buy 2.4 L version if u wanna save money on gas.

Otherwise 3.0L is just for people like me always in a hurry lol :P

[sprinkler5802]

thats a damn shame

[BBTthetank]

@cerwinvegafan Nah 2.4L is actually pretty big for a 4 cylinder. a small 4 cyl would be like the 1.4L found in the chevy cruze.

My 2.2L I4 in my Saturn Vue is actually quite powerful for what it is, and I love having a 5-speed suv, it's pretty rare.

@coolerdude44 Because a full size SUV with a V8 does it in the same time and gets less than half the fuel economy.

[coolerdude44]

why is everybody saying its acceleration isn't bad... i clocked 10.1 seconds, i think that's pretty bad lol

@musubi69 Ok, I see what you're saying. But I still think if you put the Audi engine in the Terrain (which is a larger, likely less aerodynamic SUV), the gas mileage would be lower than it is now. Just because it's a larger engine that gets less power, doesn't mean its inferior. It is likely tuned to be able to get the increased gas mileage.

@sportsfreak800 My point is how much extra HP and Torque Audi can get from a smaller engine, compared to what GM can get from a bigger engine. With basically the same fuel mileage... So obviously GM can do better... That's all I'm saying. I take back "GM sucks", I just want to see them do better.
