Its A Very Good Car Overall, But Like Everything Else, It Has Its Quirks. — love the interior and heated seats, but handles like a tank. steering is too stiff for my taste, but attains speed quite easily. mileage is decent but could have a bigger fuel tank to extend cruising range. power outlets are hard to get to with the center rest down and could have been put in a better place. the turning radius is horrible. my truck turns shorter.

Very Roomy. — Love my car. Has lots of space inside, handles good in the snow. Isn't as good on gas as I'd hoped for, gets about 24 mpg. Had to replace the rear hub assembly because the anti-lock break sensor went bad, the part was about $200. Insurance is fairly cheap because it has very good safety ratings.

We Have Had This Suv For 3 Years It Is Perfect, No Problems. — The Equinox is so good that my mom traded her cr-v on one. We love ours, its roomy, quiet, the perfect family suv. My wife absolutely loves it would not own another vehicle. 32,000 miles and no problems, just change oil and filters and go.

Solid handling, quiet ride, and good acceleration. The 4 wheel drive works great in deep snow. Added tow package and towing ability great, load handling great. Dependable.

Cons

MPG not great 16/23. Little things starting to break.

Overall Great Ride. — Power and handling added to a roomy and quiet interior makes the Equinox a good choice. Styling is a plus. Dark window all around adds class and discreteness. Whether loaded with passengers, luggage or materials this SUV is up to the challenge.

Great driving car, very versatile and can handle 8' lumber.  Very comfortable driver, heated leather seats are incredible in winter months and the AWD makes it able to go anywhere.

Incredible Comfortable Car. — Loved the ride on trips. Great acceleration and handling. Incredibly versatile car that has a great towing capacity and with its towing package. Very little maintenance needed since I purchased it in 2006. If I did not have 2 other cars I would keep it.

I Think I Will Be Very Happy With This Car — Love the space. The outside is very modern, rides VERY smooth! Great in the rain with the AWD. Just wish I would have bought a one with a sun roof and an MP3 capability
