If there ever built a car for 16 years, the 2013 Chevrolet Spark It comes standard with a team of nannies Electronics, Information and Entertainment TV on Saturday morning and a length that is three feet shorter shorter than the Cruze, and a foot as the Honda Fit is small.

"We listened to what young people said they wanted in a car. Our engineers designed and equipped specifically for first home buyers Chevrolet Spark and residents of cities in North America," said Chris Perry, vice president of global marketing at Chevrolet. "Spark has is the perfect city car, because we are easy to handle, easy to park and easy to maintain."

There you have it, the perfection of the world.

Start assist is standard. This makes it easy to brake equipped for the gas in a mountain of no return in the manual transmission cars.

"Brake assist" the pressure in the brake system when an emergency braking is required. Chevrolet says the system automatically stops the maximum force in a panic. Hopefully not too often.

So now you have made ​​a safe stop. That means it's time to turn on the radio. Chevy offers the user access MyLink Pandora, Stitcher, Bluetooth and navigation.

2012 Chevrolet Equinox LTZ: muistiinpanojen tarkasteleminen: rakennettu täyttävän lihan markkinoille

Built to satisfy the meat on the market
2012 Chevrolet Equinox V6 264 hp rating.

EXECUTIVE EDITOR ROGER HART: Spend a little time on the 2012 Chevrolet Equinox LTZ's and you will see why General Motors is short supply these days. The Interior is simple, straight-forward, and handsome. Design is more than a luxury, but this is a $ SlovoEd ute.

The ride is comfortable and surprisingly quiet. Creeping bent in the cabin, only sound was courtesy of the tyres on the pavement. I'd like a little more side-seat bolster, but again, taking into account the circumstances, the majority of the Court of Justice of the buyers as will fit.

3.0-Litre V6 power is good, even if the slippery snow this morning to the AWD would have been Nice. In my driveway and in front of the rings 5 seconds was spinning and the traction control worked feverishly. But the mission, to the Office during the period was a little drama.

All in all, this is a handsome little ute/crossover is a comfortable and relatively cheap.

EXECUTIVE EDITOR BOB GRITZINGER: I am a little surprised that not all wheel drive $ SlovoEd buy an Equinox, but the quibble, this is well equipped with a small utility vehicle and well-done. V6 drag hard, in part because the tranny gear surprisingly held deep in the rev range. A fixed platform, combined with the overall impact on the extent to which the vehicle is one of the sportier than would be expected on the front-drive, ute. At the same time, posting 24 mpg mostly city driving around is pretty good V6. If the vehicle selected is on the side of the brake pedal feel soft and will take some getting used to.

This Equinox as a large, seven-inch color screen on the provision of air navigation services, automatic climate control and the Court of Justice of the heaters in the light of the above, "uplevel" V6-goodies. Plenty of space for all of the loading and unloading of 60/40, folding table rests, built in flexibility.

There will be played on the forward collision warning and lane-departure-in the system and determines that the variation in the distance between the middle of the warning shall be determined in accordance with the guidance provided for the nanny. How to set up, in my opinion, it is too late, the shortest, most of the drivers to react in a timely manner, and it seems as if the warning is always on to the longest setting so you can usually be ignored after the. I'm not sure of this value, except in the case of drivers who would interfere with the testing requirements or other passes much of the time, instead of driving. If the tendency to postpone the examination of the obstacles in the way of your vehicle in advance, and you can skip this and save the $ 295. I never found any lane-departure warning, so there are never any to make mad.

Since all the pluses and the fact that some of the buyers of America really need all of the wheels drive the vehicle, I like this package. It appears to be still pricey, but it is properly fitted with meat on the market.

News EDITOR GREG MIGLIORE: 2012 Chevrolet Equinox LTZ is an excellent vehicle for the upper Midwest chilly time. It is likely, a decent-sized and very well equipped. Drives beautifully, and in such a way that the mainstream consumers should be grateful.

In the cabin, the look and feel, for the most part, comfortable seats. V6 engine is decent, even if you are in the sample, this ute four units have always been the challenge also. The chassis is sorted and comfortable and a small ute it is well proportioned. It is also, and I was able to defeat the slower traffic, when the service-drive status jockeying. I Like The Equinox. It is a strong competitor in this segment.
