Eeks and knocks (it's real name)

Burned oil from day one. Never saw more than 22.5mpg out of this, Eco mode or not. Timing chain replaced at 20,000 miles along with 8 total (half of the valves). Driver seat lumbar broke not once but twice. Made a weird pop noise when warming up from exhaust area, alternator seemed too weak for the car, high pressure fuel pump, pistons and rings replaced at 38,200 miles, car sold back to dealer after this replacement at 10 miles later. Couldn't be happier to be out of that hell hole. Two engine tear downs at less than 4 years of age and 40,000 miles s. wow! No more Chevy for us!

Millage between 12 and 16 thousand miles. Nor-Cal to Mass, optional V-6. Still very happy with everything. Gas MPG was way up on whole trip. One day across Wyoming got 29.2 MPG. Most other days MPG was between 24.5 and 28.5 at 75+ MPH. No problems at all. I need to get front end "Bra" as the front of the car takes a beating with road objects flying into you causing paint divots. GM and LaBra don't offer them. Oil changes, tire rotations have been at 7500 miles each with around 24% oil life left. The car climbs highway hills with no problem, cruise manages that well including gas mileage. Cruise memory can get overloaded sometimes just reset and your ok. Great long trip car the best for 2 or 4

Still Loving It!

Purchased my Equinox in Nov. 2009. I'm still loving this SUV! Comfortable, reliable, roomy. Plenty of "get up and go" for a 4 cylinder. I've never owned a 4-cylinder before and was a little concerned. Not any more! I'm getting about 26 mpg in the city. Since I do mainly city driving, it is 3 weeks between fill ups. On highway driving, I'm getting about 28 mpg. Not the expected 32, but still great for a SUV. You won't be disappointed with this purchase. I've never loved an automobile so much before!
