I rated this model excellent for reliability but I haven't owned long enough to accurately comment on the attribute. Overall the car is pretty much what I expected after driving a VW Tiguan SE 4Motion for 3 years. The motor is smooth and powerful but not really inspiring. Lots and lots of technology helps keep my mind off of the numb steering and sounds of NY salt and sand pinging off the bottom of the vehicle. Braking is adequate and a little better than I expected. Visibility is great and seats are firm and comfortable. MSRP on my model seemed high at $37k but GM made it affordable with almost $4k in lease incentives.
Very comfortable

The 4-cyl. aren't very fast at all and don't accelerate that fast either. That could possibly be from it being on ECO mode but, I would recommend getting a V6 for some extra get up. It's roomy and comfortable. Great handling and entertainment features.

Bought my car in June 2015, brand new. Now, not even 3 years later and only 26,000 miles, it's rusting...yes rusting. On the rear hatch and also the bottoms of 2 doors. Come to find out this is a common problem that my dealer actually said to me " we can't tell you how many of these Equinoxes are coming in for body repairs already due to rust." They said it so nonchalantly. Well I paid $25,000 not even 3 years ago and I'm extremely disappointed that it's rusting! Love the vehicle otherwise. Car rides rough. My biggest gripe about the car is the site lines are poor. The pillar and the mirror block a lot and I'm constantly looking "around" them. Gas milaege is no where near what I was hoping either. In the winter I get 18-20 mpg and in the summer the average is 25 mpg.

horrible gas mileage

I've had this vehicle for going on 4 months now. I switched from hyundai and kia to the chevy line specifically because I wanted to buy american. Mistake. I live in the northern virginia area, so most of my driving is city, but I visit my parents and my boyfriend frequently and both require highway driving. My office is exactly 3 miles from home - I am averaging between 16 - 19 mpg. This low average is even after I've noticed how low it is and specifically try to drive conservatively. I feel irresponsible and embarrassed to drive a vehicle that receives such low mileage and I never would have switched had I known this was going to be the case - since switching from my kia, nothing about my commute or habits have changed and I'm averaging about 10 mpg lower in this new vehicle. In addition to the low mileage - the engine sounds horrible. It literally sounds like it is eating gas the way it has to chug for any sort of pickup. I have asked several other Equinox owners about their mileage and they all agree on how horrible it is. One lady also said that her car goes through so much oil that the dealership had to replace the engine because it was burned out; her vehicle is barely a year old. Other than this major complaint, my other 2 are fairly minor. The seats themselves (shape, support) are very comfortable, but the material is horrible. It doesn't bother my boyfriend, but when I'm wearing a skirt, it is itchy and painful due to the hole-y pattern. The other complaint is the highly reflective material used on the trim around the gear shifter. When the sun hits it correctly, it is blinding. Things I do like: layout of the electronics panel and dials, leg room, ceiling height (I'm 5'11''), trunk space, back up camera, interior lighting, rear window wiper AND wiper fluid (this is an awesome feature). Unfortunately, all of the pro's are completely outweighed by the gas mileage issue. I have officially logged a complaint with Chevy and anyone else who is experiencing this issue should too!

Watch your pvc valve

It’s a known issue that the pcv valve in the 2.4L clogs up on this car. The first symptom is excessive oil consumption and eventually leads to blowing out the main seal like it did on my car at around 105k miles. It blows out because the valve doesn’t relieve the crankcase pressure as it should. $2400 to fix as they had to pull the whole engine. 2.4L is way underpowered. Don’t expect to pass anyone...ever. Seats could use more lumbar support but good room for a big guy like me. Nice room in the back. I think the newer ones have less storage space behind the back seats.
