Used 2010 Chevrolet Equinox Consumer Reviews
Piece of junk
Purchased 2010 Equinox used have had to replace cracked manifold and now at 10800 miles need to replace transmission for $3600. Previously owned Chrysler town and country van. I drove it for 14 years to 249000 miles and never had as many problems as I've had in the 2 years I've owned this piece of junk Equinox. Will never buy a Chevy again.

Early impression
It's still early but I am very impressed so far. The car handles extremely well - composed, confident and sure-footed. Steering is precise and well balanced. The 6 speed tranny makes some odd shifts but that's in ECO mode and after reading other reviews was expected. The 2.5 liter 4 cylinder has PLENTY of pep and is a really smart choice unless you plan to do some heavy hauling. The seats are brilliant. Firm but with wide and deep bottom cushions that give great support. Best out of the Hyundais and Fords I tested. Dash layout is attractive and functional. I'm loving this car more every time I drive it. And it's a great looker too. I got the Mocha Steel Metallic with black cloth.

One great car
Gm out did themselves, love it from bumper to bumper. Mileage has been great just took a 500 mile trip air on all the time got 30 mpg and was more than comfortable
Money Pit
Transfer case went out first, was covered under warranty. Transmission went out around 75,000 miles, no towing was done. Cost around $3000 to replace. A/C condenser leaked, and had to be replaced, common problem with these vehicles. Muffler started with a small crack in the seam, got bigger over time, had to replace, but it comes as one part with a resonator, which cost $600, just for the part. Exhaust manifold was also cracked, which is also a common problem. Lower control arms also broke. Got rid of the car with around 90,000 miles, only got $3000 for it, with only the control arm needing to be replaced when it was traded in. Not recommended.

Great Ride, Poor gas Mileage
Gas mileage poor 20 City 25 Highway for a 4 banger. Transmission failed at 105K miles. Electronics and sound system excellent. Gas mileage got worse with age. Got great compliments on ride and exterior.
