Chevy — Love it. Great amount of space and smooth ride.Handles great. Braking is prety good. Acceleration is awsome. I have not had any trouble to this point. Only thing that went wrong was the battery had a cell go bad. The appearance is great. Inside has a great look and smell.

Sharp Car With Plenty Of Room — I receive compliments on my car all of the time. Whenever the family needs to go on a trip it's my car they take. Mpg isn't horrible but could be better. Handles smoothly, my grandmother even likes to drive it.

Great Base Suv — Great gas mileage 23-25mpg. Rides pretty nice, no real problems other than had to replace spark plugs and wires, apparently per GM a problem with all Equinox's, otherwise great vehicle. Still looks brand new. Good car for the money!

Good For The Space. — the car itself is ok. as far as miles per gallon runs low. around 22 highway and 19 intown. it was not an expensive car and is fun to drive. runs smoothly. i wanted something bigger then my sunfire. this car works for me.

2008 Chevy Equinox Lt1 (not Mine) — It feels like a sports car. I have not noticed any needs of repair, and I love the way it looks. Blue, chrome rims, chrome trim. Beautiful. Gas mileage is decent, the one thing I don't like is that setting the heat for remote starting it in the morning is tricky. It is so much fun to drive.

My Number 2 Brand New Car I Bought For Myself — I had to get out of my scion- it was a death trap this past winter. I couldnt take it any more, and originally I was going to buy a used Equinox, but I got a better deal on the New one!
