Along with the Equinox you mentioned and the reply immediately above this one, keep in mind that the GMC Terrain is a sister of the Equinox...everything is the same except for the body style.
Our Terrain now has 70,000 miles on it and absolutely nothing has gone wrong with it. Nothing. It's a perfect car for a toad. As mentioned above, replace the fuse with a switch (fuse is a little difficult to access), turn the key to ACC and put the trans in neutral and off you go. Ours is the SLT-2 (equal to the Equinox LTZ-2) and has ALL the bells and whistles you can think of. The one thing it doesn't have is dual AC controls. Navigation, XM, memory seat, TPMS, analog and digital speedometer, auto lift/close gate, remote starting, and the list goes on. We typically get about 26 mpg overall average, and over 32 on the highway.
Good luck on whatever you decide.
