"I bought this car on august 25 2011 after researching many other cars. I always seemed to come back to the Equinox. Mine is steel blue(really love the color) and i have since added after market hitch and chrome grille, which really makes the front end stand out over the black grille , plus fog lights. Being 65 years old and 6'2" and weigh 245 lbs. this vehicle is easy for me to get in and out of.The audio system was a little intimidating but after some help from my 10 year old grandson ,i was able to figure it out. I love the information center which gives you tire pressure, instant gas mileage, average gas mileage, average speed , etc. So far i have only driven in a city setting ,mostly to work (6 miles round trip) and in eco mode i have averaged 19.1 mpg.I like the style of the Equinox. It doesnt have cheap looking wheels that other cars have.It drives nice and with the 4 cyl. has good pick-up.On the down side ,and this is a minor thing, I dont really like the position of the door locks on the console, but you can lock it with your key fob, which i usually do.The console storage could be a little more forward, its awkard to get into.The lid pops up and in upright position the lid is behind the seat.Good cup holders and i have had no problems with visibility.More than enough head room(Im 6'2" and no moon roof)I love the back up camera and the back hatch opens enough where i have no bumping my head issues.I like the overall styling as compared to the gmc terrain which i think is too boxy looking.I plan on keeping this car for 10 + yrs.Will be doing some traveling this summer and will get back on this site and let you know how it performed. I would buy another one ."

"The Equinox is a solid vehicle with good handling, reliable performance and decent fuel economy. While the space behind the back seat is not large, it is adequate. The passenger seating space is much better than average. The controls are well positioned. Routine maintenance is not a hassle. It does take a little while to get used to the blind spots but the rear-view camera helps when backing-up."

"My husband and I just bought are 2011 Chevy Equinox and I am in love with it. We got a good deal for our money and it only has 14,000 miles. I really like all the great gadgets and it was one of the main reasons why I wanted it. I really like that you can bluetooth your phone and use the steering wheels to answer and hang up calls. I like the onstar and the phone minutes. I really enjoy that the back seat can be adjusted as well. I think that is a great feature for someone that has kids because you can move them up closer to you if need be. The comfort level is great. I like sitting up a little higher than a normal care. The exterior is amazing and I get many compliments on it everyday. I also like the back up cam and the remote start. This car has so much to offer a young small family like us and we are just in awe by it... I dont think that the estimated mileage is quite correct I am averaging about 26 on the highway doing about 70 no more... It has good power and gets up and goes... Great buy.. I would highly reccomend:)"

"I love sitting up higher than a sedan which I had before. It is so comfortable & I've lots of compliments on the seat upholstery. Has great pickup for a 4 cylinder & I get good gas mileage"

"Have had mine for one month and 2700 miles. The heater is very slow to warm up for a new car, my '06 Ford Explorer was much quicker. Seats are great, not too many blind spots and very comfortable ride. I have the 4 cylinder and it really has good power for such a small engine. I have averaged 26.8 mpg so far and that is mostly highway mileage at 70 mph. Will write another updated review at 5-10K and see if I have made a bad mistake buying a bow tie!"

"I love my Equinox i had it for 4 months now so we drove about 530 miles and my sister drove the car last week and said can i have have it i had to say no because i love my Equinox and i think everyone can love the car to like my family and the sleek exterior is fabulaus and smooth i love the interior is fabulaus to i love how the rear seats slide back in the cr-v it does that to but we are talking about the fabulaus Equinox here and it is a smooth ride in the backseat and in the frontseat but there is one problem in the backseat with me the seats don't fold completely flat and i have the LTZ and the hatch can go to two 2 different postions there is full and there is garage i am glad i have the LTZ with that kind of hatch like that because my Equinox is parked in the garage when i have my grocery's in the trunk so i have to have the trunk on garage so this is the best Equinox in the U.S.A."

"I love my Equinox. I've had it for right at 6 months, and have taken it on vacation already. We drove about 500 miles with 4 people and a week's worth of luggage. It was comfortable, even for my 6'3" brother-in-law. It isn't too loud, even when accelerating, and the ride is so smooth. My brother drove it last week and told me that it was such a smooth ride, he didn't even realize he was going 75 mph in a 55mph zone. The back-up camera is a great feature to have. So far, we have had absolutely no problems with this vehicle. We love that the backseat moves for more space. There are only a couple of real complaints I have. The first is that the backseat doesn't fold completely flat. That's not a huge deal for me, but I know for some people it is. The second is the interior color choice. I didn't really have a choice with the black interior, and while again, it isn't a huge deal, I can't really let my dog get in the car, I have to take our other car, because the black looks really gross with dog hair all over it. The gas mileage is pretty good. On our vacation this summer, we got around 30mpg. Most of the time around town, I can get about 23-26mpg. I'm really happy with that, since it is an SUV. I love the cloth seats with the mesh. When you spill something, it doesn't start soaking in immediately, you have plenty of time to dry it, and it really is comfortable."

"Very decent vehicle. I drive a lot, Traveling salesman. So the car looks great and the interior is just as good looking. This car has plenty of power(v6) but I'm not crazy about the transmission. The car jerks in and out of gears. I bet the trans will be a problem with this car. Interior dasd goes dim all by it's self. The infotainment center looks and is great for the most part. The bad is that is seems to really act weired when hooked up to iphone. No matter what my ipod kick in even when I don't want it to, the volume goes up and down on it's own and now my phone is acting weird, very slow or even freezes. Over all the car is nice. But just the fact that it's new makes it nice. I just hope I don't have high dollar problems like electrical or trans."

"The only negative I have on this vehicle is the gas mileage. Even though I purchased the 6 cylinder it only averages around 21mpg."
