RESEARCH ANALYSIS: Review of wiper systems

Stay connected Subscribe to our RSS feed
Here's a thought: the average wiper blade wipes the windshield over one million times in a year, and travels 800 miles in this time. Despite such wear and tear, motorists seldom replace their blades as often as they should. In running the rule over just-auto's fifth review of wiper blades and systems, Matthew Beecham discovers some novel initiatives being taken by manufactures to remind them to change their blades in case the shudder and shrieking weren't enough.

2010 Chevy Equinox LTZ AWD - Chevrolet Crossover SUV Review - Automobile Magazine
The first thing you notice about the Equinox is the interior.

The first thing you notice about the Equinox is the interior. GM people have been banging on for some time about how they really get it now with interiors, and with the Equinox, you really see what they're talking about. The dashboard looks like it was lifted straight out of an Acura. There's plenty of style and good separation of function on the busy center stack (this example is optioned to the hilt with navigation, satellite radio, et cetera). Rear-seat riders get not one but two DVD screens. And the two-tone leather in this top-of-the-line LTZ looks great, though one wonders what the three lesser trim levels look like. Furthermore, the rear seat, which reclines and slides fore and aft, has loads of legroom (which is about the only respect in which the cabin echoes the previous Equinox); while huge doors and narrow sills make entry an exit a breeze.inline_mediumwraptextright29919492/reviews/editors_notebook/0909_2010_chevy_equinox_ltz_awd0909_05_z+2010_chevy_equinox_lTZ_aWD+front_three_quarter_view.jpgTrue
