All,
I am considering purchasing a 2018 Equinox with a 1.5L turbo engine. I am trying to figure out if this engine can be run up into higher mileages (i.e., 200K+) if not abused and well maintained. Most folks I talk to are telling me to stay from anything with a Turbo but can't explain why. I have found online articles about "low-speed pre-ignition," cracking pistons, etc.
Does anyone have any actual real-world-advise or input regarding this engine's reliability? I suspect there is a lot of misinformation on the web because this engine is relatively new.
Thanks in advance.
