I am extremely happy with the 2013 Equinox LTZ with the 3.6L. The style and comfort are great. Ours has all the bells and whistles on it and it is pure fun to drive. Lots of power. The power lift gate and sun roof are a real kick. The seats are powered and adjust easily and comfortably. We have the memory adjust on our Equinox and when i or my wife drive it, it's so easy to push a button and the seat and mirrors adjust to our settings. The size is perfect for the two of us. Plenty of room in the back for guests and the rear seat is adjustable. Enough cargo space in the back for us for luggage or groceries and with the back seats down plenty of room for hauling all sorts of things.

Undecided on how I feel about the purchase

I hate how the steering wheel covers up the ac vents, could have designed it better. I have a 2013 with 13k miles, the black granite color. I have had to take it in once already because the paint has bubbled and now I’m taking it in again for the same paint bubbles, just in a different location. My equinox is a 4cy and I only get, at most 25 mpg and the dealer cannot explain why, I drive on open road, not much stop and go traffic. Just recently my brakes have started making a horrible sound. I have had to take it in multiple times for the electronics, all to do with the radio / navigation. I really liked the design of the car, for the most part.

Special thanks to Jerry Massa at AutoNation Northpoint Alpharetta, GA. He worked with us and got us a great deal on our 2013 Equinox, and he treated us like royalty every step of the way. This is a very well done suv, our second Equinox. Even quieter and smoother than the other one. We tested two other suv's, and this one beats them all.

I love the looks of my 2013 Chevy equinox but the motor is no good and Chevrolet house knows this motor isn't any good it uses oil and the timing jumps when it jumps it busted the heads on it there is no warning light that tells u that anything is even wrong with ur car I would have thought that I just got a bad car but if u research it there is a lot of people having the same trouble so I took it to the Chevrolet house and showed them the history and they say there isn't anything they can do even though this is happening to lots of motors I'm just trying to let everyone know this is a common problem with the equinox and u will be just like me setting there with a blown up motor wondering how to get 2,500 dollars to fix ur motor

We bought a 2013 equinox in 2016. Now has 128,000 miles on it. I do a lot of driving for work and have had some oil pressure problems. The oil and maintenance was done regularly and all systems were working well until recently. Then the real seal blew. Had the shop rebuild the engine to no avail. A month later we put a new engine in it. Then less than a week after we got it back from the shop, the motor wouldn't turn over. The display on the car showed a stability sensor and power steering at the same time. Back in the shop again. I have never had this much trouble with any vehicle I have ever owned. What a lemon.
