"I bought this SUV 3 years used and have had it for a little over two months. I did alot of research before finally deciding on this SUV. I feel I made the right choice for my budget. It's roomy and has a good sized cargo area. It runs great and I'm excited to see how it performs this winter in CT!"

"Me and my wife got our 08 Equinox sport about 3 months ago and we love it!!!!! I read up on the suv or crossover that everyone was puttin out and this one just caught our eyes and trust me it does other eye's as well. Couldn't really afford a brand new one so got an 08. This thing will fly and just preforms like a sport car. Its fully loaded and i love to drive it. Very comfortable on highway. We did lose alittle gas milage comin from a HHR witch was a very nice smaller ride. I just love my gm's. The equinox is very roomy and very nice lookin."

"After months of looking could not find an SUV we really liked. AWD is a must for us. This one handles fairly good and feels secure. Power and mpg really suffers using A.C. Electric P.S. much better than earlier years. Electric accelerator is much too sensitive. Transmission shifts well and it tows a large utility trailer easily. Interior is stark and window and lock controls are poorly located. Several repairs in under 50k under the warranty. Overall not bad, works and looks nice and has more brawn than the 4 cylinder competition."

"took a bit to get used to the size but now I love it. The back seat moving up to lengthen the back is very useful. I volunteer at animal shelter, so far the has been nothing I couldn't fit in this car, Bales of hay, dog/cat crates,wood. Top that off with comfy seats lots of leg room front and back and an awsome radio for long rides. Glad I bought it."

"Researched various small SUV's for quite some time and liked the Equinox the best. Found one that was in great shape, (used) and I really like it a lot. I was having a hard time getting around in snow and the AWD I have now is doing great! Overall I can't think of anything I don't like about it."

Amazing gas milage for an SUV

"Ours is a 2008 Chevy Equinox...we bought the car online to catch a 0% interest promotion and it far exceeded our expectations when we got it. We have had lots of SUVs and this one really has the best ride - it drives like a luxury car. The milage amazes me! We get 19+ miles per gallon in town and in the mountains and 24-30+ on the highway when the cruise control is set...24 mpg at about 65-70 mph...and jumps to 30+ if you keep it to 55-60 mph. The back seat is very roomy and fits tall people quite comfortably. We are a little shortchanged on cup holders and clothing hooks, but, the rest of the features easily make up for that. The Onstar Package, built in phone and satelite radio is really nice!"

"Have own it for almost three years and it does everything you would expect of an spacious SUV and a little more. My 2WD gets about 24 for the average and its is quite and comfy. It was really nice room in the second row and enough cargo for most uses. The way how the passenger seat folds down allows me to carry very long objects with ease."

"I purchased a used 2008 Chevy Equinox from a dealership. It had only 13k miles. It the base model and really does not have any upgrades. It is a good car for the price. One of the hubs went oiut right after I bought it, which I thought was a little strange. The fan motor for the A/C has issues. It does not blow at a constant speed but the dealership cannot find the issue. I am only talking about negatives but overall this is a good car for the price and I would reccommend it anyone."
