TCC’s Bottom Line

With mediocre handling and fuel economy, the 2009 Chevrolet Equinox isn’t that appealing, but it still offers superior cabin space.

The 2008 Mitsubishi Endeavor is a mid-pack performer in the crowded SUV/crossover class.

TCC Likes

Spacious second-row seating
Good crash-test scores
Equinox Sport’s perkier V-6

Standard V-6 power
Roomy interior
Good warranty

TCC Dislikes

Quality of the interior
Questionable handling
Coarse standard engine

No third-row seat
Design is getting old
Doesn't stand out from crowd
