Hi all!
This is not a simple poll thread, but I think this was the best place for it. I wanted to start a thread on any suggestions for GM that you have for improvements on the Theta platform. For any of the models. I do know that GM does go around to these forums and they do read these, so don't hold back. Also post about what you love too. I'm sure they'd like to hear all good and bad about their hard work.
My wife and I own an Equinox LTZ, I4 FWD, Nav, Entertainment, Sunroof. And here's what I've seen so far.
- The center console is a bit hard to reach. It does look good, but functionality was cut short (no pun intended...)
- Not sure how they'd do this, but try to make the back seats fold flat AND keep the great comfort in them.
- I'd like to see some improvements in the MP3 playback, like playlist file reading, or better categorizing and choosing of artists, genre, etc etc...
- I'm sure the engine clicking some have reported is not a problem, but it is annoying.
- The "Hands Free" statement in Bluetooth is annoying. That wasn't needed in past models...
- A little more smoothness in the ride would be welcome. Not a lot, because the handling is very nice.
- I think GM needs to crank up production a bit, as popular as they are
What I love!
- The exterior styling is perfect. Don't change a thing.
- The Pioneer system sounds great.
- Handling is superb (see above...)
- The interior is fantastic. A lot of people would like to see some improvements, but I know from past GM vehicles that this interior will also stand the test of time and abuse. The ambient lighting is very nice, improvements on that would even make it sweeter (Like the Ford's where you can change the color, hint hint)
- Of course the MPG. Way to go GM!
- Improvements in the Nav system over past models are very nice. There is a much better mix of all information on the screen at any one time.
- The I4 is a great engine!
- Thank you GM for not requiring the 18" or larger rims on the LTZ. Sure they look good, but I'm no teenager and prefer ride over looks.
Suggestions:
- I'd like to see a turbo version of the I4. Like in the HHR SSR verion. *drool*
- Homelink buttons! What gives with missing these?
- The placement and angle of the USB and power plugs in the console might be better if facing down or up. Sticking straight out, I'm afraid of breaking a plug or something.
That's all I can think of now (only had ours a week...) So, what's your 2 cents worth? Let us and GM know!
Thanks!
