That's a fantastic :dill:

Man, I buy one automatic and the whole bridge comes crumbling down.

:rolleyes:
The tough reality is that a good automatic is better than :manuel: for the day-to-day slog.

:manuel: is still more fun for fun, :doe: It's great to have both.

The 8-speed autos are genuinely good.

I had to take my mom's Clubman down to MINI this morning for service, man that's a nice highway cruiser. 8-speed auto and all.

Pretty much, aside from the paint peeling off of the roof rails, which is why I was taking it in.

Otherwise it's getting its first oil change.
Paint failure before first oil change? :facepalm:

Roof rails are separate from the roof, probably a supplier issue. :flaccid:

Air conditioner strength is uh...

Takes potholes like a champ, and the automatic is actually pretty awesome. It does adapt to your driving, too.

So far, I'm averaging 20-21 MPG around town. :impressive:
AC that blows ice cubes is :megusta:
If there was an SUV version of this it would be tempting AF.

Voice to text is 5/7. Once I figured out I had to wait a half second for it to listen to me. I should check out Spotify doe, I've been using Sirius but with the unlimited data I could switch that up.
We did the family Spotify account, it's $15/mo. I have unlimited data thru T-mobile, but also they don't charge for streaming media, so it's a huge win there. All my music is thru Spotify anymore.
T-Mobile is :fuckyeah: Had them forever until I ditched my personal phone to just one I don't deserve through work. I have Verizon now which is :disgust: in comparison.

Spoke with customer service yesterday and they found the Equinox and were going to call the dealership to get it straightened out. They didn't sound like I was crazy when I mentioned it, so this must happen some what frequently.
