2013 Chevrolet Equinox LT 4dr SUV AWD w/2LT (2.4L 4cyl 6A)
Picked up the 2LT 4cyl in white diamond w/light titanium leather interior and the 18" upgrade chrome wheels and man it does look sharp! I bought it for my fiance' for Bday/Xmas and I think i'm happier than she is.
First thing is it does get 33 mpg I saw it I calculated it and the onboard computer saved it too...achieved on the NJ Turnpike driving 65 mph, i'm sure if you take it to 70+ … it drops way off but it will achieve the mileage they claim on the highway.
Second is the light titanium leather interior...very nice! It has been a focal point of everyone that's looked at it. My Toyota fan club neighbor came walking by and I opened the door and his eyes popped out his skull..literally..
We will never own a GM product after this car!

2013 Chevrolet Equinox LT 4dr SUV AWD w/2LT (2.4L 4cyl 6A)
This car has been a complete and total nightmare! We have owned it just under 3 years and the repairs on this car has totaled $8,000+ and climbing as soon as it hit 100,000 miles. Burning through oil, which caused a cascade of wear and tear on the engine eventually equaling an engine swap, and then in the shop three more times after that. Chevy knows of the issues with this engine … burning through oil but they haven't issued a recall. The engine in this car is also really noisy to begin with, and the computer/tech in this car is glitchy! Before we had the issues with the engine burning oil it would completely die when coming to a stop, which is dangerous with little kids in the car! Worst investment we've ever made and we will never own a Chevy again!
Pleasantly suprised

2013 Chevrolet Equinox LT 4dr SUV AWD w/2LT (2.4L 4cyl 6A)
I went to the dealership wanting a Traverse and left with this car instead.
I love my new car and I look forward to the savings on gas milage.
The eco button is awesome and the hands free calling are just a few of the things I like about this car.
The leg room for the second row is awesome.
I couldn't believe how much space is back there.
Even though it doesn't have a third row, the … space is great for me and my family of 4.
Didn't expect to like this SUV as much as I do

2013 Chevrolet Equinox LT 4dr SUV AWD w/2LT (2.4L 4cyl 6A)
This review is for a V6 AWD 2LT with leather (apparently Edmunds doesn't give us the option to rate a V6 model). After 16,000 miles, this has been an excellent vehicle. You'll likely be happy with it as long as you have the right expectations. The Equinox is not designed to be a sporty SUV. It's a solid, comfortable, roomy, un-pretentious, completely reliable SUV with excellent highway … manners, good technology, and good value. Remember, the Equinox is built on the same platform with the same V-6 as the Cadillac SRX, only de-contented and de-tuned (and much cheaper). A new Equinox will be released in a year or so, but I wouldn't hesitate to buy this model again.
