honestly I liked them all but the Kia ended up winning.

If it wasnt for all the options and the 10 year 100,000 miles warranty Kia offered i would have gotten the Equinox.

I think you are remembering a Traverse. The Equinox starts at $24,155. Fully loaded it is $37,000 (if you leave off the $3,700 dealer wheel and Tire Package). Hyundai/Kia warranty is nice if you plan on keep it a long time. GM does have the 5 year 100,000 mile powertrain warranty though.
The Equinox in 4 cylinder trim is adequate. The best I ever saw was 28 or 29 MPG, however, with my driving style. The V6 will certainly do well but the 3.6 in other applications might get you 23, IF you drive like I do.
The Equinox has a very roomy rear seat. If you carry more than 2, this is a big plus. The rear seat is adjustable for/aft.
Generally quiet and comfortable from my time with them.
