Used 2010 Chevrolet Equinox for Sale near Chicago, IL

The 2010 Chevrolet Equinox is a solid choice in the compact SUV segment. While it may not excel in any one area, it offers a well-rounded package of comfort, practicality, and features that make it a great value for the price. I hope this review helps! Let me know if you have any questions or if youd like more information.

Love the gas mileage and versatility. This car is so easy to drive and fun to look at. It also has an eco mode that gets you even better gas mileage. This is a great car for a family, college student or first time driver looking for economy and safety.

The Equinox is fun, drives and handles very well. It has not needed any repairs of any kinds. The new styling for 2010 is great! I get comments or questions on it almost daily, usually in a parking lot somewhere. I am getting twice the mileage as my trade in, so I am very pleased with the mileage and money I'm saving on gas. My only major complaint is that without mud flaps, the car gets really dirty driving in wet weather. I'll be getting front & back flaps from the dealership very soon!

I bought my 2010 Nox LTZ on the last day of the Cash for Clunkers program. I traded in a 2000 Dodge Grand Caravan with 140,000 miles. I had to drive to Michigan from Alabama to find one with the features I wanted. I was originally looking for the 4 cyl version for the fuel economy, but was unable to find one in an LTZ. Also agonized over the interior color but am very satisfied now that I have settled on the Black/Light Platinum. 2010 LTZ- Loaded with everything except Chrome wheels/19” Tires, and AWD Cardinal Red 3.0 Liter V6 Jet Black/Silver Interior 18” Polished Aluminum Wheels So far the SUV has been wonderful to drive and a joy to own. I get frequent comments and questions about it and often see people checking it out when it’s parked in the parking lot of a restaurant or store. I had a 900 mile test drive coming back from Michigan and it was just a pleasure to drive. I enjoyed all the gadgets and after more than a month am still learning all the capabilities of the electronic wizardry. Some Positive Observations: All windows have express down. Usually only the driver’s window is so equipped….nice touch. The Drivers Information center located between the Tach and Speedometer gauges adds useful detail when using the NAV system. I knew I wanted to NAV system but I didn’t realize how much I would come to love and rely on it. I will never be lost again. Cup holders have a rubber insert that grips the cup making it virtually impossible for a cup of coffee to fall out of the holder. Something that was fairly common in my Caravan. I thought the Remote start would be a cool feature to have but it’s actually useful. In Alabama, the heat can be oppressive even in August/September. With a 195 foot range, I can start the car while I’m walking toward it and by the time I reach it, the AC has cooled the cabin to make it comfortable. No more getting into a oven hot car. I like that I can set a separate EQ for each favorite channel and audio source I select. The headlights are far better than any other car I’ve ever had. Distance and clarity is greatly improved. A GM car delivered with Michelin Tires instead of some cheap set of Firestone or General brand tires. Way to go GM! Some Negative Observations: Driver’s Seat Leather not pulled taught in one corner so it has a funny wrinkled look in that corner of the seat. Front headrests look great… Rear headrests appear as if headrest was wrapped in leather by an amateur or a small child. I will be taking it to the dealer for both of these issues. Pioneer 10 speaker system is good but not great. I have had cars with Bose and Infinity systems that sounded better. There is not as much bass as I expected from a system with a subwoofer. Also, the audio sounds good a low and moderate volume but seems harsh at louder volumes. Tone adjustments have not been able to improve this. Most people will not notice this and it could just be my 51 year old ears. When accelerating moderately hard, the vehicle accelerates smoothly at first but then there is a boost of energy similar to the delay you experience with a turbo charger. I don’t drive it hard very often so I am still evaluating this anomaly. Will update as I notice more.

I genuinely LOVE this car! Its stylish, affordable, comfortable, and reliable. There can occasionally be a blind spot on the left side I have noticed. It is never in the shop, only for standard maintenance and oil changes. The gas mileage is fantastic for an SUV; around 25mpg as a daily driver and 32 mpg on the highway/interstate. The acceleration can be a bit slow as with most SUV's, but the braking and handling is superb. I feel extremely safe and in control while driving this car and it can be fun to drive! The only complaint I have about this car is the same complaint I have with all SUV's... they are a bit slow for me.
