best car I've ever owned awesome gas mileage

I been driving this car for two years now and I cannot find one thing I dislike about it. It exterior in red is awesome, modern and has a sense of power to it. The interior is spacious, utilitarian and upscale. The four cylinder engine is barely noticeable. The mobility is great as well. The gas mileage is everything advertised, I drove from California to texas and from texas to georgia this year, both trips over 1200 miles and averaged 29-30 mpg. the gas mileage actually was higher except for texas highways speed limit of 80mph. also to note that the first leg of the i had a payload of 600lbs + 2 people and the second trip I had a payload of 800lbs and 2 people.

Unreliable piece of trash

I've had my Equinox LT for a little over 2 years now. I bought it used from some good friends of mine, with almost no milage whatsoever, because I knew it had been taken care of phenomenally, and the first year was an absolute dream. It seemed like exactly 365 days later, it started falling apart and still hasn't quit. In the last year and a half, I have replaced the Cam sensors 4 times, the timing chain, the throttle body, two catalytic converters, the exhaust manifold, two O2 sensors, all four tire pressure sensors, the battery, the wiring harness, a wheel baring, fixed a transmission and oil leak, changed the plugs and coils, and I'm sure a whole bunch more that I'm forgetting. Regardless, it's still barely running and won't idle without dying in the middle of the street. I've thrown enough money into this car to get it fixed that I could've bought it 3 times over. I wouldn't recommend this car to my worst enemy. The interior is nice and roomy though, I guess.

Great! So far!

This is our second Equinox. So far so good. Exterior and interior are great. Modern features and sleek look over the previous model. Although, model seems much narrower and smaller toward the rear. It's a real eye catcher. Not sure why expert reviews have rated the 2010 model as average and plain. When it comes to performance and driving impressions. Please, this is a small/SUV not a high performance vehicle with HP and a sport-tuned suspension. Don't think any SUV can provide such a comfortable ride along with the features for this class or in this price range.

I have only had my Equinox for a week now but i am absolutely in love with this car! We needed something bigger than our VW jetta since we are expecting our first child on the way. I have been looking at pretty much every cuv and always came back to the Equinox. I am 6'3'' and it was hard to find a car that gave us MPG, room, options, comfort, and for an affordable price. Most cars you have to sacrifice one of those needs, this car none. This is by far the best for the money! I checked our mileage and we are getting 24.67 and that is quite a bit of city driving, that's only 3 mpg less than the jetta we were driving. Go out and drive one, you will love it!

Great Value for the money

This is the first Chevrolet I have owned and I must say that I am quite pleased. I test drove a Ford, GMC, and Chevrolet and the Equinox was the best out of all three. Drives smooth and quiet. Bumps are hardly noticed. Space is well used, cargo area is large for a midsized SUV. For a V-6, sufficient power is available when needed.
