2007 Chevrolet Equinox LS 4dr SUV (3.4L 6cyl 5A)

Review

This car has really give us the room and quality he says you can only expect in a Chevy. Leg room in the back seat is excellent. He's an insurance claims adjuster and the cargo area has on the space he will need for the mounds of paperwork and file systems he has. And vacations are easy to load up for in this car. I guess you can tell my favorite feature is the room.

Favorite Features

The room in the car, miles to empty, tire pressure gauge, oil monitoring system. and the price are a few of mine. He says the maneuverability, the get up and go, and many more

Suggested Improvements

The back tail gate is a little slow to lift, the windshield wipers on slow don't work half the time, and he says he wished they come with a third row. Back seat would make it perfect

Review

I bought the car when changing positions to sales from engineering. I work for a company that builds light-weight campers and I needed something that would pull up to 3500#. The Equinox does a great job and my gas mileage is very impressive. It is a great looking vehicle with somewhat futuristic looks and it compliments the unusual campers we build. Without having any trailering experience to speak of, I have successfully navigated over 10,000 miles with ease. On one of my trips I left 11:30 at night in a storm with 2" of snow already on the ground while towing a 1600# camper. The traction control was awesome even through the winding mountainous back roads of Western Pennsylvania.

Favorite Features

Gas mileage. Up to 29.4 on highways at +70 mph. Gas mileage while towing: between 15.8 to 23.7 depending on many variables. It's a comfortable ride with predictable handling. I love the stereo too.

Suggested Improvements

Add a sub-woofer with the stereo. Heated mirrors would be nice.

Review

Have owned the Equinox for 6 months now and all in all is a great value. We purchased an '07 1LT with the 17" chrome wheels, which make it look great. I like the sporty look, ride and handling, but, im not that impressed with the gas mileage, I get the same mileage with a 2000 grand cherokee as this. I also hate the recessed windshield, it is a pain in the rear to brush snow off, my hood is scratched and chipped after one winter.

Favorite Features

Sporty look, comfort, overall value, radio with multiband memory presets. Very roomy back seat

Suggested Improvements

Heated mirrors and fog lamps standard on LT, better design on windshield (make it even with the A pillar).

Review

Okay, so let's start off by saying I owned a 2002 Dodge Neon before this, yuck! It was my boyfriend's he loved it but wanted bigger so I got a hand me down this cars a year old with a little over 13,000 miles on it! I love it drives smooth runs great looks great and is better on gas then my Neon was. My sister owns one and she loves it. My boyfriends co worker has one loves it. If your looking for a spacious reliable SUV this is it! Excellent buy. It's worth every penny I bought it for!

Favorite Features

It has a how many miles to empty feature on it. Love that also love the tire pressure monitoring system. Radio controls on steering wheel means never having to take your hands of the wheel when you drive. Love it.

Suggested Improvements

I can't think of any improvments for this vehicle, its basically perfect in my eyes

Very Good Vehicle

Review

I had to get a new car when my old one got totaled. I knew I wanted a SUV but i didn't know what. I found my car I took it on 2 test drives, and I fell in love with it. I love how high it sits up im short so that makes a big difference. When it's time to get another vehice it will definitely be looking for another Equinox. I also like how well priced they are!

Favorite Features

I really like the look of the exterior. It still has a sporty look to it. I really like how it will tell you your tire pressure and when you need an oil change. The leg room in the back is very good. But my favorite thing is how it tells you how many miles to empty!

Suggested Improvements

The blinker is so annoying! It is way too loud! And I would improve the gas mileage but other than that no complaints.

Best crossover out there

2007 Chevrolet Equinox LT 4dr SUV (3.4L 6cyl 5A)

Review

This is a totally under-rated and ignored crossover. Easily the best vehicle I have ever owned. Versatility unmatched by any other competing small SUV. The Edmunds review of the Equinox is more favorable than most. The highest praise I can give is that very soon our '07 LT will be joined in the garage by an '08 Sport.

Favorite Features

MPG is fantastic. 23-24 around, with 26 attainable on long highway trips, including 3 adults and a dog on a holiday trip to Las Vegas. Absolute comfortable seating and easy to use controls. The OnStar, a feature not available on any competition is worth every penny. Pioneer sound system is great!

Suggested Improvements

Chevy needs to advertise the Equinox like crazy. I can't recall ever seeing a TV ad for it. The only improvement I can recommend would be the addition of grab handles for passengers.

Review

We were forced to purchase a new car after the Jeep dealer ruined our 05 Jeep Liberty. We really did not want to be in the market for a car and yet here we were. We began my search in the beginning of September and wanted to get a year end deal on a 2007 model. After reviewing a number of models, we settled on the Pontiac Torrent. Although, this was the first choice, we gravitated to the Equinox as we could not find a Torrent with the equipment desired. However, if we could have assembled the car ourselves we would have put the Torrent front on the Equinox rear. Since purchased we put on about 4,400 trouble free miles. We have not had to take the car back for any adjustments or correc

Favorite Features

5 speed automatic, ride, mileage, interior, general quality feel, fit and finish, radio/navigation, heated seats, sun roof, roominess, handling, brakes, and competence the car gives the driver, back seat leg room, integrated roof rack, with the exception of the front, the profile and rear styling.

Suggested Improvements

Horn, flimsy visors/unlit mirrors, 4 blind spots, no locking glove box, key fob without a hatch release, 1 speed rear wiper, outside mirrors no defrost feature, layout center console, some interior plastics, no hood insulation pad, power window button location, no coat hooks, slow rear defroster, front pillars

Review

Looked for a long time before settling on the Nox. Thought I wanted a car after driving a 2 WD pickup for 10 years. Took the Nox for a spin on a whim one day and was surprised by the ride and how quiet it was. Found this one at a rental outlet with 20K on it and I've put on 2K. So far its been reliable and very comfortable on my 25 mile commute. There have been a couple of snowy, icy days here in CO that I have been very glad to have the AWD, it handles great in the snow. Not happy with the mileage, averaging 20 or so in mixed highway/city.

Favorite Features

AWD is great, handles great, quiet and pretty decent power. I do my own oil changes and this car is very easy work on.

Suggested Improvements

Power outlets are hidden down by the floor and only one in front,not handy. Lots of wasted space in the interior. The rails along the windshield make snow removal a pain! The rear seats don't fold flat so the cargo area is not as handy as it could be. Don't like the tire pressure sensor.

Review

We traded in a 2001 Cadillac Deville on our Equinox. We love the room you have when you fold down the back seats. Great on trips. the Pioneer sound system is awesome! It is very quick for a six cylinder. Handles great and is fun to drive. We don't regret giving up Caddy because the Equinox is just as comfortable. Last thing, the heated seats are a must for the North Central part of the country, you will not regret it! I would definitly buy another Equinox.

Favorite Features

Leather, sunroof and the heated seats. The Pioneer sound system.

Suggested Improvements

None

I love my Equinox

Review

This is my first SUV-AWD. I looked at the Ford Escape, CRV, RAV4 and Torrent. The Equinox was far better both in looks and in value. Way better looking! Pretty and sporty! The Torrent was nice looking too, but what about that name? Anyway Equinox is a great car. Really comfortable and just feels good on my back and neck and overall posture when I'm driving. Perfect height to get in & out of - don't have to climb in like a full size 4x4, or drop down into like a car. Had "check engine" light issues when I first got the car. It took three trips to the dealer but they finally got it right - the gas cap was a bad fit so if you have the same issue get that cap checked out right away.

Favorite Features

XM radio. Remote start. Heated seats. Cargo space. Sliding rear seats. Big, shiny chrome wheels! The list could go on.

Suggested Improvements

More HP, better gas mileage (I avg about 20mpg). I had to adjust to some blind spot issues but I'm over that now.
