Thats a totaly different engine.They are sludging up.so is Toyota even if you change the oil every 3000.Out of all the cars I see every day Nissan techs have the most engines apart.They used to just change the engine now they are having techs repair/rebuild them.
You really should look at GM unless you are dead set on one of the two.My wife loves her Denaili.

Yeah, it was funny when she dropped her hybrid Prius off at Toyota for service and I picked her up with the H2

Buy American my freind. My wife loves her edge. Hers is front wheel drive and gets about 25mpg. I think the quality of the edge is way higher than the equanox

The Equinox is GM's lower line. You need to drive a GMC Acadia or a Chevrolet Traverse to compare to an Edge. I think you will like the Acadia more. Jeff Wurl

Honda Pilot. Same base price as the Edge but otherwise no comparison.

You'd have to look at the LTZ Equinox to compare to the Edge, as the Edge is a more expensive car. I haven't been in the 11's, but the first gen's interiors were lacking (exposed sheet metal around doors, hard plastic, plain design). They drive nice though.

The terrain as a gas hog? How do you figure? The 4 cylinder gets 32 highway and there's tests avg 29 (motorweek for one) on mixed? The 6 cylinder in the Equinox/Terrain doesn't add a lot in my mind, the 4 cyl is the better buy.

There is no SUV that gets better mileage than the 4 cyl equinox/terrain, and they will absolutely kill an Edge in that dept.

I too like the irony of an Escalade and Prius haha.

I don't think you've been in a 2010 Equinox with that statement....

I actually like the Ford as an overall package better.

The Murano has been around a while now and is starting to show its age, but its a great vehicle for sure.

I would disagree on engines though- The VQ series is superb.


The Nissan VQ series V6 engine has been in Ward's 10 Best Engines list every year from the list's inception until 2009.
