I took a trip in my Equinox this week. It’s a good vehicle. 2017 with the Premier package, 6cyl, AWD, and frankly, a nice vehicle for getting around town. But on a trip, it’s not that great. Mainly because of the road noise. I used to drive Buicks and was alway impressed at how smooth and quiet they were. Unfortunately, the Equinox size Buick is made in China and a ex-coworker leased one and said it was in no way up to typical Buick standards. He traded it in early. So that’s not an option and Buick doesn’t make the LaCrosse that I drove for years any longer.
So, what are some really quiet cars/SUV’s that I should look at? I’m looking for something that I’d call mid-sized, similar to my Equinox, that would be a great ride to take on trips. It’s just me and DW so no need for a large SUV and I already have a GMC Denali pick-up if I need to haul something. I’d like something smooth and quiet that can haul a few suitcases and seat four people comfortably in case we take someone out for dinner at our destination.
We are a GM family so getting another brand will be a bit of a challenge but I’m ready to look elsewhere. However, Cadillac could be considered. Buick just doesn’t have the vehicles I desire any longer.
