Great SUV

I like feeling that I'm in a large SUV without the large SUV gas mileage. The Equinox is a quiet comfortable ride with the rear backup camera and the myLink system.

This is my second Equinox. My first one was a 2011 AWD 4cyc LT1 that couldnt stay out of the shop...Frustrated and almost out of warrenty with the 2011, my salesman put me in a new 2013 AWD LT1 and Ive owned it just a little over 3 yeaars now with 34k on it..Its only been back to the dealership once in these three years and it also gets 29mpg on the highway at 71 mph...Very nice vehicle.

I am now 79 years of age and have finally purchased a car that exceeds ALL of my expectations. Reliability, comfort, gas economy and looks (inside and out).

Year 5, soon to be 6

I love the room however there are issues. 1st-this cab is loud. You hear everything outside. #2. The blower fan is extremely loud-not a rattle loud, just loud blowing #3. In year one I had to get the entire hatch door repainted as it had over 40 rust spots. #4. The 2 drivers side doors are rusting out-started in year 3 and not covered my GM until they rust the entire way through.(I do wash the salt off my car often in the winter) What I do like-the room in the backseat and cargo area. The gas mileage-average 26.1 gallons/mile and I do primarily short drives. Open highway I have got as high as 33 mpg. I am at 76000 miles and just now am needing brakes and rotors. The touring tires it came with lasted me through 59000 miles. I chose the FWD as I have always had good luck with them-I would recommend going with AWD with this size. Would I buy again? NO. There are too many annoying issues-noise and rust.

A couple things need improvement

Overall good car. 2 things I think need improvement. One is the front seat construction. The plastic side piece comes way up the cushion so that when I get out it squishes my thigh and hurts unless I snake sideways and slip out of the car, but that gives me a panty wedgy every time. Secondly and most important is the vibrating rear view mirror. They have replaced the mirror but to no avail. After driving 2 more new cars on the lot we discovered the same issue. Must be a poor design. Bad. It actually deters me from looking in my rear as often as I'd like.
