Buyer Beware!
Liked the body style and decided to replace my 2003 Honda Pilot. Picked up the car and the dealer indicated that the fuel gauge wasn't reading properly. Said GM notified the dealers of a possible problem with this. Drove about 200 miles and the gas guage failed. Said 0 miles left. Stopped and got gas and it only took 5 gallons? Then the check engine light came on. OnStar notified me stating and issue with the engine and transmission. Too it to the dealer and they replaced the gas tank. Drove my wife to work and on the way back the engine failed and had to have it towed to the dealer. Onstar notified my after one week saying the dealer had to replace the fuel pump. Car has less than 600 miles! I complained to the dealer and one of the salespeople sent me an email back saying he was sorry for my inconvienience but I should take the car back to the dealer who sold it to me! Reallly? I haven't purchased a American made vehicle since 1970 (Olds Cutlass). I thought I would give GM a chance. What a piece of junk! My Pilot with 205K on it has NEVER failed. Bottom line is " you can put lipstick on a pig.....land it's still a pig!"

It's a Chevy
I have had my 2018 Equinox Premier for 12 months and have put 13500 miles on it. The great rebates and promotions at the time were the main factor in my purchase. I have a Toyota Avalon as well but I try not to compare the two because they are completely different vehicles with different goals. The Avalon is the ultimate road cruiser and the Equinox is an SUV with all wheel drive for getting around in the snow and weather in the northern plains. I like the Equinox. It has all of the safety features you want or need, it's comfortable with both heated and cooled leather, the sunroof is great, and I have averaged 29.8 mpg over the 13500 miles that I have owned it. General Motors products have improved over the years and this might be one of their best efforts. Take care of it, MAINTAIN IT, and you should get years of enjoyment out of it. One more thing - check out the dealer service department before you buy. Ask around and check reviews of the service department on the internet. That small amount of extra money that you pay at a more reputable dealer for the new car will be worth it. Update 2/12/2022 - I have owned the Equinox for four years and 66,000 miles. Other than regular service and one set of tires I have done nothing to the vehicle. I have had zero problems and zero complaints. I have averaged 29.2mpg over the time that I have owned the Equinox. I would buy another without hesitation. Feb 2024 I'm up to 104000 on my Equinox without any problems. I've kept up with recommended maintenance. I enjoy driving and I'm planning on going 200000 miles with it.

Five day FL rental review
Outstanding ride, handling and power. Very comfortable and safe. Inspires confidence.
Don't waste your money or time
New 2018 Equinox. Service visits starting at 6500 miles. Bad intercooler, bad ECM, bad Mass AirFlow Sensor. Now on it's 5th repair visit and nobody knows what's going on. At 9000 miles now. They just don't make vehicles like they use to. They want more money for less dependability.
