I hate this car!!

I have had to replace the rear motor seal 2x at 1500.00 each time and a year apart. How is this a good suv!? I am so disappointed I have never had so much trouble with a car in my entire life owning cars. A single mom my only transportation. What am I gonna do now!!!!

Surpassed my expectations

Nicely designed inside and out. Much mote cargo space than I thought it would have. It passed the road trip test too.. I have no complaints about it.

Upgraded from 04 Cavalier

Had never had an suv, but always wanted one. Was able to find just what I wanted in an suv even right down to the color.

I just completed the purchase yesterday (3/1/21)

I like the looks of it, the gas mileage and the bonus features such as automatic start and heated seats, back-up camera, automatic windows, and cargo space.

Amazing Purchase

This SUV is exactly what I was looking for! I test drove an older equinox 2012) and didn't like it. But the 2016 is way more spacious and secure feeling! I love it!

Gutless wonder

My wife fell in love when she drove this thing. Only having owned an old jeep and older buick. I was not impressed from day 1. The 2.4L i-4 is gutless, and when you get on the throttle more than 1/4, the engine noise sounds like an angry weed-whacker. The interior is comfortable, however the control cluster looks like something out of a scrabble box. Driver controls as far as steering wheel and column stocks are pretty decent. The stock LS radio screen is responsive, however locked down (no bluetooth music). Backup camera is nice. The AWD and stability/traction control work well, and have saved me from a couple slides in the snow. I've had to replace VVT solonoids multiple times, at $50 each, its starting to get old. I was quoted $300 to replace the pair, which is highway robbery. You can do them yourself in about 20 min with basic hand tools. It eats oil, and again, is gutless. If your looking for mediocracy and a center control stack busier than a bishops hat, go ahead and get one. If you demand more from a vehicle than just a device to get you from point-a to point-b, look elsewhere, or at least get the V6.
