2012 Chevrolet Equinox consumer reviews

My 2012 Equinox had 650 miles on it when I took 2300 mile trip. The trip covered speed ranges from 45 mph (construction zone) to a little over 72 mph. At 60 I got 30.3 mpg. At 65 I got 29.9 and at 72 I got 29.5 all with cruze control. The worst 25.6 (heavy cross wind to 31.9 running flat no wind @ 70 mph. Beware of drivers that get well over the above listed driving ranges. Love the car performed well and good looking LTZ.

We have only had the truck about a month but seems to drive nice and look stylish, my only complaint so far is gas mileage. We are not getting any where near the expected gas mileage that would make this a ultimate vehicle

MPG to/from work with this AWD with my commute 25% stop/go traffic is 26-27 mpg but on longer trips up to 50+ miles got > 31 mpg!! can't wait to see what we get when we drive across country in near future! Good storage in back. able to fit 3 adults in back seat comfortably but middle person height does interfere with rear view mirror. Would DEFINITELY buy again!!

My wife and I purchased a 2012 Chevrolet Equinox LTZ about 2 months ago. We priced and test drove a lot of vehicles before coming to a final decision. The models we considered were the Ford Escape, Ford Edge, Ford Explorer, GMC Terrain, GMC Acadia, Buick Enclave, Mazda CX5, Mazda CX9, Dodge Journey, and Chevrolet Traverse. The Equinox by far and away had the best value for all of the features that we wanted. We were also extremely pleased with the looks of the exterior styling and the interior design. Out of all of the vehicles we drove, the Ford Edge was the only one we enjoyed driving better; however, with the same features it would have been 8-10k more and not much bigger. My wife and I love this vehicle and are very happy with the purchase. We were also impressed with the ability to get just about every feature that you can get on a vehicle with the price that we paid. The only complaint that we have is the fact that the vehicle is not achieving the fuel mileage that is suggested. We were told that the vehicle needs time to adjust to your driving style before maximum fuel economy can be acheived; however, I don't think it is going to reach the advertised mileage. With that said I would recommend this vehicle.

I've been driving for 30+ years and this is the worst vehilce I've ever owned. Bought a 2012 (used), 4 cyc. It's a slug. Very slow and hesitant take off and a complete dog on the hills. Constant shifting up and down is beyond annoying. Had it 3 months and trying to trade it in.

Purchased in March and put 2500 miles on it. Like the good gas mileage and don't mind the extra shifting of the auto trans. Happy with room and ride as replacement for Malibu.

Poor fit/finish of the dash and interior front door panels. Paint on exterior has primer showing thru... Trans upshifts/downshifts at an annoying rate. Will trade soon for a Benz!

What can I say, I love my car. It rides really nice. I feel extremely safe and comfortable in it. The brakes got their first serious test recently and they performed quite admirably.

comfortable, great on gas and at a great price i would buy it again.everyone loves my truck and its easy on gas which means alot to us

Purchased a 1lt on 6/1/2012,a 4cyl with the drivers convenience pkg. compared to subaru forester, mazda c/x5,honda crv,& toyota rav4.Drove & researched all except the rav4(insufficient leg room) the others drove fine but each required unwanted equipment inorder to get certain items.The equinox was the least expensive, & had the best ride & was the quietest on the road. Having gone into this purchase with the knowledge that numerous owners were disappointed with the mpg.They are telling the truth, it looks like about 22/23 mpg mix of city & highway driving. Very early opinion but so far quite satisfied. Will follow with a more seasoned opinion.
