Chevrolet Equinox road noise
Loved my HHR, couldn,t stifle road noise, traded for 2010 Equinox,which is a very nice state of the art cuv except for road noise. Do all unibody/strut suspension /vehicles road roar the same way? I spent a lot of money on the HHR insulationwise, but never got it quiet enough, even after plugging the holes in the floor..

I thought I could compare it with the Cobalt....it's the same platform and engine, right? And poeple love the Cobalts.

stuff, but that doesn,t account for the failure of engineers to produce a
really quiet car.
The Accord Crosstour is quieter, but has other shortcomings, as have all
the other cars I have tested lately. The 09 SRX made a limo out of my
Equinox,could not believe Cadillac let that pos out the door . New Malibu
was
reasonably quiet, but has some serious ergonomic issues.
Cars have come a long way in the 63 years I ,ve been repairing & playing
with them & I have come to believe it always boils down to costs of
production.
The only reason I traded was for XM & OnStar, my LT1 HHR w/2.4 was a lot
more fun to whip around these hills than this thing I got now that sits too
high off the tires ,has a useless roof rack & too much britework. Good car,
tho.<g
Now, aren,t you sorry you commented
I'm not a lead foot driver because I prefer putting money in my wallet instead of in my tank.
I'm always trying to get the maximum economies out of my driving and always loyal to the maintenance done on my car.
.Except for wanting XM & onstar, I would have put another 60K on it .Best fitting & most fun car I ever owned, including my 64 vette custom.------If it had only been a little quieter------
I'm still waiting for it, placed an order on the 8th of march and the dealer said that it must be just around the corner. Could come in any time now within 2 weeks.
Thanks again.
I almost got a 2010 HHR just for onstar & XM, but it would have cost me almost as much as the Equinox & isn,t as sophisticated. Another strong point:: my short wife likes to be high on the road <g
