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

Review

My husband and I wanted something that would be practical to drive the kids around in, but we aren't quite ready for a minivan. Vacations pulling our boat are a breeze, and the carseats go in and out with ease. It's by far the best looking grocery getter in town.

Favorite Features

Love the interior. After all, that's what I see most often.

Suggested Improvements

The sunroof should be available on more models.

Review

Excellent SUV. Stylish compared to the rest, and fun to drive. Handling is excellent, and there's room for my 3 daughters and dog. Tows the bowrider boat with no hesitation.

Favorite Features

Styling is top notch!

Suggested Improvements

Some wind noise at higher speeds, but that's it!

Great Car

Review

The car so far has been great. I love the exterior design. However, the interior is subpar, and the radio seems bland. Otherwise, the car runs great and looks even better.

Favorite Features

Exterior, 4WD, and the size of this vehicle.

Suggested Improvements

Better interior!

Sticker

Review

Watch what the window sticker says when purchasing this vehicle. On the side where everything the vehicle has is listed it says: "Unit produced without XM satellite radio". The salesman and I skimmed the list of features and assumed it had satellite and low and behold it didn't. Funny it didn't list that it didn't have sunroof! Thankfully the dealership where I purchased my Equinox honored the satellite radio and had it installed and hard wired. Con for this vehile it cannot get satellite through the radio. Something about the electrical system. Besides that.. I love this car.

Favorite Features

Fantastic interior. This was a terrific move from a mini van

Suggested Improvements

Chevy needs to provide a cargo mat to protect the cargo area.

Awesome Truck!

Review

The Chevy Equinox is a true competitor against the RAV4 and Santa Fe. I test drove both, and the Equinox is the best one. My decision made up of all the nice features the Equinox offers at a lower price than both the Santa Fe and RAV4. Also, the styling is so much better than the other two. The Equinox has a pretty quiet engine, it can accelerate quickly and performs well. The gas mileage is good considering its size. The new and improved 2007 interior is better than the '06 one. The truck is the biggest, inside/out, compared to the Santa Fe and RAV4. Even the stock sound system is the best. Overall, the car is fun to drive and I am happy with my purchase. This truck rocks!

Favorite Features

Styling! Very roomy interior (backseat reclines) new wheels, DIC, sunroof, all the options!

Suggested Improvements

None. This car is perfect for the money.

Why we bought the Equinox

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

Review

Compared drive with Rav4 and Ford Escape. Drives more easily than Rav4. Ford surprisingly heavy to steer. Fun to drive this heavy 5000lb machine. Initial mileage around town about 19mpg. Relatively new to me. Solid and stable, but ease of steering could possibly cause oversteering. Visibilty on right side requires use of the side mirror. Acceleration good for freeways. Does not sway like my '95 Blazer tended to do.

Favorite Features

Reasonable gas economy expected along with performance. Nice and roomy and comfortable. We do not need AWD.

Suggested Improvements

Abbreviated storage between driver and passenger may get in the way of applying the hand brake. Cross pieces on roof rack should not be an option. Hand holds above windows should be standard.

Review

The longer I drive it the more I love it. The price was great, more options for my money than the Mazda CX-7. Have been getting 26 mpg. The ride is smooth and comfortable. My sixteen year old son (who is 6'1'') loves the back seat that slides back. Everybody says it looks like a Lexus.

Favorite Features

The options, aluminum wheels, sunroof, upgraded stereo, XM radio. I also love the gold color.

Suggested Improvements

The only thing I've found that I would change is that there is no place to hang your dry cleaning in the back seat.
