My first SUV

2006 Chevrolet Equinox LT 4dr SUV (3.4L 6cyl 5A)

I have had this car for 11 months, and have put 20K miles on it. I absolutely love it. It handles well on the highway and on the congested city streets. It has good pick up and handling. I have had no problems at all. With as much as I drive, it is nice that the gas milage is good. My family and friends like that the back seat has plenty of room and moving seats.

I have had this vehicle for about two months and love it! The exterior styling of this car is sporty and fun. The interior could use a little work, but for the cost it's pretty good quality. Gas mileage is reasonable at about 19-21. The leather driver seat is very comfortable, but the back seats are kind of hard. I love the steering wheel buttons for the stereo and cruise control, it's so much easier to reach while driving. I traded my '01 Blazer for this car. Even though my old car was comfortable, I love how much more modern this Equinox is.

If you want better MPG, drive a compact!

This is a great little SUV. But it is just that, an SUV. If you want 30 MPG buy a compact. I downsized from a Ford V- 10 pick-up so obviously I am thrilled with the gas mileage. Other than one minor flaw, I love this SUV. Looked at the Pacifica and am glad I chose the Equinox.

Nice Midsize SUV

Overall, very glad to have traded-in a low-mile Acura for this new SUV. Performance is nice because torque peaks early; keeps the engive from having to work hard. Smooth, quiet, and the electronic assisted steering is very easy. My wife really enjoys the entertainment system and I feel comforted from the safety options, crash ratings, and OnStar satellite support system. Wife gets 16MPG city and almost 25 highway, not me.

Problems Already!

I have had this vehicle 1 month and it has been in shop 5 times and still has rattle when I hit bumps. It is getting 14.3 mpg in town and I am told that is normal. It rides great if I don't hit any bumps. It is roomy and I like the way it is arranged inside. All in all, I need to get rid of bump and get better gas mileage or my next vehicle will be another Toyota!
