What are some of the smaller GM SUV's or Crossovers that get good gas mileage?
Re: GM SUV's, Crossovers
I really like the Saturn Outlook, but my DH says absolutely not since they are no longer made.
We tested the enclave and it's pretty nice. My favorite part was that the 2nd row seats (if you get capt. chairs) can be moved independently and provide a lot of room for the driver, especially if you have a RF car seat in them. Ultimately, we decided not to go with the Enclave, but it was one of our favorites that we tested.
Are you stuck on buying a GM vehicle or open to other suggestions? We tested a ton of SUV's from Feb-June when we finally broke down and bought ours.
Got it. I was going to suggest the Volvo XC60 if you were open to oher brands. We had one for a bit while we were between cars (we had a new XC90 that was totalled in the hail storm) and it was a great drive. It's a smaller SUV, but there's a lot of room for storage and it has awesome car-like pickup.
My van gets 15mpg and DH's Ford F-150 gets 18. Something's not right with that van. Lol!
And it looks like a badass spaceship, which is also a plus.
We recently purchased a 2011 chevy equinox and I love it. I had an older equinox before but this one gets way better gas mileage. We looked at several different suv's for the crossover size, the Equinox is by far the largest and has the most size once inside it. IMO.
Good luck!
Honda Fit.
just sayin'
When we were on vacation, we rented both a Tahoe and an Acadia. I loved them both - the Acadia was much smaller, but they (surprisingly) got the same gas mileage. I didn't think I was going to like the Acadia after having driven the Tahoe (because I love Tahoe's), but I actually really like it. Loved the backup camera on the rear-view mirror on the Acadia!!!
