Sporty and sexy

I love my new SUV. Low miles for the year. Sporty and cute. Buying process was easy thanks to Krystal Wayland @ Auction Direct on Glenwood Ave in Raleigh. Looking for a car please go see Krystal.

Love, hate relationship.

I bought this car used with 110,000 already on it. I got a great deal for it. But, it does burn oil. It is all out before I'm even close to a oil change. Have to always have oil close by. It also takes so much for it to get up and go. When it does get up and go. It sounds very loud and seems as if it doesn't want to go. Now it's saying that I have a timing chain problem and camshaft. I'm ready to get rid of this vehicle. I've had for little over a year and already put too much into it. But, it is a beautiful car. The body style. The inside is nice and comfy. It also drives very smoothly. I just wish it acted better.

Stay Away!!!

I along with many others have had the worst experience with my 2010 Chevy Equinox. I purchased the car new, with an extended warranty that covered everything and anything that went wrong with the car, and I am glad I did. Within the first 60,000 miles the car has been in the shop with major repairs 4 times. During the 60,000 miles I have had 3, yes 3 timing chains put into the car, a new transfer case, and new piston rings, along with a problem with the steering, and other minor issues. Now, the car has just 76,000 miles on it, and it needs a new transmission. I have kept up on all maintenance for this car, kept it in great condition, and it has fallen apart around me. I really wanted to love this car, the interior is setup great for me, I love the way it looks and feels, but the car is just full of junk parts that will break. Very disappointed in my purchase the quality of vehicle released by Chevy. Don?t believe all the commercials from Chevy on how reliable they are, they may be reliable for a year, but then they fall apart piece by piece.

GM NEVER Again!!!

The 2010 Chevrolet Equinox was our very first GM vehicle purchased in 2010. We decided to stray away from Honda due to family members working for GM and the positive talk that GM had improved their vehicles at that time. We were very hopeful and happy with our purchase until the recalls started pouring in, the vehicle started to rust, the engine started burning a LOT of oil (which GM refused to fix even though there is a recall for it), and then finally at 125000km's and just after the warranty was up - the transmission went and left me stranded in the middle of nowhere. GM has been really awful to deal with and now I am left with no vehicle for it costs more to fix than what the vehicle is worth. So we paid $37,000 to have a vehicle for 6 years - makes me feel SICK to my stomach. Thanks for nothing GM!!!! NEVER EVER again!!!!!!

Don't you dear

I wanted this car since it came out, it looks absolutely beautiful and super comfortable also cheap in gas. What they don't tell its how many recall it has, that you have to change you oil every 2000 miles if! you are lucky, something breaks every 2 to 3 months, make knows that not even the dealer can fix, I Hated this car 2 years toooo long.

Love my Equinox

I love my 2010 Chevy Equinox LT and all the features it has. I have a rear back up camera, digital heating and cooling icons. And even though it is a 4 cylinder it has get up and go. I also like the remote start feature and the bluetooth capability when my phone rings it automatically comes through my radio once I synced my bluetooth with my phone. The vehicle has a lot of neat features on it.

2010 Chevrolet Equinox LTZ

I just purchased a 2010 Chevrolet Equinox LTZ from Unlimited Motors and Dave Scott was the best person I've ever dealt with. The vehicle has all the bells and whistles that this product offers. I was very pleased with the purchased transaction and customer experience so I would recommend this dealership and especially Dave Scott to anyone.
