This car has been a headache all around. I bought used in 2013. It has broken down on me in the road a total of 6 times. Had to replace blown head gasket at 112000 miles, and then the motor at only 151000. Had to replace ignition, air conditioner and numerous fuses. The plastic covers that are on the passenger and driver visors broke off within the first couple months of me having the car. The seats stain so easily, even getting water on them causes discoloration. Not to mention the strange location that the window controls are in. I would not recommend this car.

I just purchased this vehicle, so I am still getting used to it. So far, I love it. A lot of interior room. Comfortable to drive and ride in. I like sitting up high above most other vehicles in this class and I love that it has a great crash rating. Dual front and side curtain airbags, a must in this day and age.

At first it was a nice car until the problems started. I had the brakes redone at 14000 miles. The a/c doesn't work on the drivers side. I already have rust starting on the back end. Warranty takes care of these. But I have to put my second windshield in because it cracks in the same spot starting below the rubber near the passenger door. Niether of them are from cracks The most annoying part is that I can't clean snow off of the windshield because of the design. The snow gets stuck and builds up because the "wings" that stick further out than the windshield. I am currently looking for a new car.
Do not buy!

I am so disappointed with this car. This was my first "brand new" car and it's just awful. The road noise is horrible, check engine light came on a week after owning. The seats are horrible. I have the basic LS gray and they hold every spec of dirt possible. So I now have to use seat covers. The radio guages have lost all of their paint. So I can no longer see what channel I am turning to 1-5 etc. The doors are cloth and also get dirty very easily. The paint is scratching off the inside of the car near the door handles and such. My muffler is already completely rusted and the bumpers and molding are black and very faded. I have only owned for 10 months and would strongly advise against this! I will never buy a car from Chevy again. Even though this is the LS edition so its not top of the line, for the price I paid I deserved better lasting material.
Love my Equinox!

This is my first new vehicle purchase that was not a car. At first the around town gas mileage was suprisingly low compared to my '01 Olds considering they have the same size motor, but after some highway trips I found the mileage comparative. It is stylish and comfortable, easy access for all. I love this vehicle and would highly recomend!
