Great Ride

The Equinox is great on gas. Coming out of a Blazer I feel like I ride forever before filling up again. With automatic 4-wheel drive I no longer worry about when is the right time to engage 4-wheel drive, although it takes some getting used to the first few times it kicks in. My only complaint - the headrests on the back seat are too high, making it difficult to see out of the rear window.

Good Gas Mileage!

Just checked my mileage for "city driving" and I get 20 mpg. I drive up and down a mountain twice a day - and I am thrilled with the mileage. I can't believe the leg room front and rear. The radio and window controls are user friendly - especially like the radio controls on the steering wheel. Rides and handles with comfort and ease of a sedan - not like most SUVs.

Good Reliable 4-Wheel Drive Security

When you get out of this car you look at it and say, "That car is much smaller than the one I was driving". The Equinox is roomy, quiet, and peppy enough, gets good mileage and is comfortable for four big adults. It misses grab handles, lighted vanity mirrors, built in garage remote control, under hood light and opening rear window. It is a good buy and a winner among many similar competitors.

I hate this vehicle. Rear bearings went out at 42K miles. Now front bearings are going out. Complained to Chevy and they wouldn't back it up because I bought it used and a local mechanic did the work. The fact it was poor quality didn't play into it. GM and Chevy have lost me forever.

Love My Equinox

Altho my mileage hasn't been as good as I would like - it is getting better as the engine gets broken in - I do love this car. I is particularly fun to drive, while having plenty of room and remaining comfortable.
