Love my Equinox

Review

I love my Equinox. It's a nice size SUV, not too small, not too big. I like the way it handles, rides, drives, and looks. Plenty of room for shopping and hauling everything I need. Sporty enough not to look like an old ladies car. I liked the warranty and all the features like the computer readouts on tire pressure, gas milage, so forth. I thought about a Toyota but wanted to go with American made

Favorite Features

Looks nice and handles nice for an SUV

Suggested Improvements

Extend the armrests out and make them more comfortable (extra padding)

Review

Traded a 2002 super charged Grand Prix. Miss the power surge & heads-up display but I love this vehicle. It drives like a car. Wish it would get better mileage, but I sit up higher, love the handling, and really love the drive and design.

Favorite Features

Exterior style, comfortable seats, and seat versatility. Fold down and bench seat sliding.

Suggested Improvements

OnStar standard, better mileage & heads-up display to be available

Review

One of the best values in the industry! Not one visit back to dealership for warranty repairs (after 6 months). Tons of room for family of 4. Last two vehicles have been imports, won't go back.As good or better quality with GM, and for thousands less. Friends own a 2005 and 2006 Equinox, neither have had a warranty repair to date. Like this vehicle more now than when I bought it.

Favorite Features

Pioneer sound system is great. Love the sunroof. Ample power, gets up to speed better than numbers would suggest. Back seats fold flat with ease. Interior in general is very versatile, making overall comfort well above average. Sound system controls on steering wheel is awesome.

Suggested Improvements

Back doors take more effort to shut than driver/passenger doors.

Top of The Line for SUV's

Review

I rented this car first and then when t went to auction with 16,000 miles on it I bought it and it's the best driving and handling vehicle ever. Including Toyota and Fords. I've had both the 4Runner and the Explorer. No comparison. I wish I would have invested in the leather seats though for more comfort. I'm just attracted to the leather and feel it's easier to maintain.

Great Ride

Review

Forget the over priced Toyota or the Edge with all that windshield glare - I am truly happy to own this Chevy Equinox. Love the tinted windows and sunroof. I actually like it better now, than the day I bought it with some reservations - Those reservations are long gone. Zero warranty work needed so far. I like a well built dependable ride.

Favorite Features

Seats are more comfortable than they look. 4 hour ride no hip problems, Tinted windows, sunroof

Suggested Improvements

None ( of course all vehicles should be getting better gas mileage, very little improvement any where in the industry)

Hmmm

Review

Rented this one as a replacement for my truck. Ride is comfortable, handles nice, with sufficient acceleration to get onto busy California freeways! I didn't like the parking brake location (hard to reach when engaged), and the fact that the rear seat does not fold down even with the back floor (made it hard to put large objects inside) Overall, not a vehicle I could live with long term.

Favorite Features

Front passenger seat folds flat, reasonable turning circle

Suggested Improvements

Get rid of the track under the back seat, make it fold flat, even with the bed & front passenger seat.

Great car!

Review

Bought it for my wife, and we love it! It has a nice ride, spacious, quiet, and looks great (we got it loaded in black with 17" shiny rims).

Favorite Features

The remote start (which I didn't care about), has been great on these 90+ degree days! The driver info center is great, and so is the sunroof.

Suggested Improvements

Make the radio easier to use. Better cupholders and better cupholder placement; the seats should cradle a bit more. And $250 for a cargo area security shade?! I don't think so, GM. I found one online (with delivery) for under $100.

Review

I've heard a lot of negative comments about previous year models, but I've had no problems with my Equinox. It's roomy, but not to big to manuever. Back seat is great. Great options and decent gas mileage.

Favorite Features

Audio system

Suggested Improvements

Horsepower with same gas mileage

Most for the money

Review

Both my husband and I drive approx 600 each week. So we each wanted a low cost vehicle with decent gas mileage and comfort. We found this in the Equinox so we bought two. I traded in my 2005 outback on the two vehicles. Although, the subaru is a real fun car to drive, it was not comfortable. The Equinox is comfort almost as fun to drive and gets good gas mileage. I'd recommend this vehicle for a young family or older folk, like me, with not so a pliable body but wants the best buy for the money. GM has a hit with this vehicle.

Favorite Features

Drivers info center - couldn't believe all the features on an inexpensive vehicle. Styling -- step into the seat and the roominess. Back seat and leg room. More that the Buick Enclave. Price

Suggested Improvements

Option for a stereo upgrade on the LS model. Make cargo cover standard on all models. Hides the bags from prying eyes. Steering needs to be tighter.

So Excited

Review

I gave up my Pontiac Montana with some hesitation. But the purchase of this car was a wonderful choice. It rides well, it is comfortable and sporty looking. I am a plus size woman and the comfort for me is wonderful. The only thing is I continue to get confused with the window controls not being on the doors. Otherwise a great car for the money.

Favorite Features

The look and comfort of the car. Nice legroom in the back.

Suggested Improvements

Window controls should be on the doors. Loud wind noise if the back windows open and the front windows closed. Rumbling sound.
