Reliable, classic SUV

I love my Equinox LT. It is the smoothest ride I have ever had. Its classic look has really appealed to many people, as I see my vehicle EVERYWHERE! I feel this vehicle is the new "classic" style of SUV. The backup camera is a God-send, allowing for more comfort in driving. Plus, the blind spot mirrors are an amazing addition to the package. Just what I need to feel confident driving and safe on the roads.

Drives so smooth

This car is great. The gas tank is huge so I only need to fill up every other week and the touch screen radio is so nice.

Excellent comfort, styling and features.

Don't trust this CUV

After the failure of it's body control module, I'll never own another GM product again. Transmission froze, door locks froze, and could't remove the keys from the ignition. Tow person had to crawl under the car to disconnect the transmission for towing. Couldn't drive my back up car with this thing in the way.

A no headache car

Bought new in 2012 and put on just over 80K going from MN to FL for five years. Never had a problem , sat back and relaxed and enjoyed the ride. Me, the wife and dog. traded this Equinox in for a new 2017 Equinox from same dealer.
