Best car I have ever owned

Best car I have ever owned. This car was absolutely amazing. It is so reliable as well as comfortable. I have plenty of room for both my children's things as well as mine and my husbands when we travel.it gets excellent gas mileage as well.

A money grabber

I purchased my 2013 chevy equinox in Dec 2014 it had just under 34000 miles on it. i traded my 2008 equinox with100,000 miles on it because it was starting to nickel and dime me. I figured I would trade up. It now's has 79,000 miles on it. I have been putting money in it since then, to hubs I know these where out but not at 70,000 miles my stabilitrac and and abs lights came on, took it do dealer they told me I had to replace the front driver side hub, they told that actually the hub was ok but a metal ring on the broke apart and turned the lights on, so this was a 1000.00 in one month. The radio had to be replaced it kept freezing up I would have to turn car then start back up and the radio would work. It still does it but the dealership told me that it was out of warranty. The hood is rusting out dealer said it had to be rusted all the way trine or gm wouldn't even look at. The wiper system and transmission had to be replaced. I get a oil change every 6000 miles I was close to having to have it done again, i was sitting park with engine running and thought I could here lifter rattle I turn the car off checked the oil it didn't even register so I put 2 quarts in checked again still did not register I put 2 more in checked full. I told the dealership about it there were no leaks any where after the oil change I was told to bring it back in to have the oil level check, i did this oil consumption check they told me that it was normal to burn a quart of oil every 1000 miles I have the 2.4 engine. And it continues

Overall great car

Not the most appealing for a young adult but served its purpose and was very reliable, efficient, comfortable, and spacious

The alarm system SUCKS

my 2013 has an alarm problem...the wind blows, it goes off. a heavy vehicle goes by it while parked, it goes off. I was at the store and it went off 5 times within 3 minutes. I have tried to get someone to tell me what is going on but you can't find anyone who knows anything about it.

Nice car for the money.

Nice car except that it burns oil like crazy and I don't like how it sounds like its shifting because of it being an auto-manual.

The Chevrolet Equinox Rocks!!

I own the LT2 Equinox. The cockpit has excellent fit and finished leather. Electronic seat controls give even the largest and tallest driver a comfortable driving position. Being the smallest of the crossover/suv in chevrolets line it has a large vehicle feel and performance. I did not opt for the all wheel drive version, and it performs great in the rain, ice, and snow with front wheel drive. Engage the fuel economy button and the fuel economy skyrockets in town and on the highway. The ride is smooth and pleasurable. With spacious rear seats that fold flat, to reveal a cavernous hauling area. My Equinox has been a pleasure to own.

Edgar Casillas was great at finding our vehicle

This car is excellent. It has the room and comfort we were looking for, and handles well. The appearance is outstanding. Edgar Casillas went above and beyond to find us a vehicle that met our needs.

Pretty Good Vehicle.

Overall this SUV is great. I own the LT2 and the style is amazing and comfortable. It drives great and is very smooth. The only issue is that the bluetooth is sometimes funky but is great usually. It is a reliable car and is good looking!
