Before purchasing our new car, I had a list of must have, and nice to have. At first viewing and test driving of this vehicle had to force myself to at least at other options. I came back immediately. My first must have was excellent leg room, front and back. This car has more that ample leg room. Next was room for coffee and beverages, wow two between seats, more space in both front doors for water. Back the same pull down beverage holders, water in door. Very large storage in back, and very easy to enlarge with fold down seats. No knocks, or what was that noise. Great mileage, car is easy to handle and has speed pick up on the road. Cruise and radio controls are within easy reach, and comes equipped with blue tooth and on star. Safety and entertainment!!! We have put 120, 000 miles on this car. I feel safe in this car, one accident with a deer, and one on icy roads (other driver's fault) and no injuries. Large enough make me feel safe, hold whatever I need, and small enough to park with ease. I love this car!!!

The Chevy Equinox I purchased was a used 2009. I got the SUB thinking it would be big enough for my family and not being a minivan. It holds all 5 of us easily and my kids aren't crammed into the back. Shortly after buying the car the u-joint broke in the drive train. Luckily it still had the warranty from the original purchase so that didn't cost me anything. Other than that issue the car has held up to everyday driving. Also the trunk is huge, especially when you put. The backseat down. I've been able to haul large appliances in the trunk. Gas mileage is ok but could be better. I average 20 miles to a gallon which is just shy of 350 miles or tank. Overall it's a good care but could be better.

The build of this vehicle is solid. There are no rattles, shakes or shimmies. When doors are closed there is a solid feel. The backup camera is very clear for safety purposes. The warranty is very good and covers bumper to bumper. The alignment and balance are stable. The standard tinted windows are great for reducing heat in the summer. The rear window wiper is useful in muddy / rainy conditions and ensures added safety. The electronic drivers seat movement is variable with not only forward and backward, but tilt, lift and lumbar support. The sunroof is a fun addition for cooler days and nights. The roof rack at the top is useful for additional storage using cargo straps. The multiple airbags ensure increased safety. The adjustable front and rear headrests add comfort. The rear center seat has a lap and shoulder seat belt which is much safer than a sole lap strap. The move ability of the rear seat adds increased or decreased storage area as needed and with 3/4 to 1/4 rear seat, they can all or individually be placed down for additional storage. The display of direction and comprehensive vehicle stats such as tire pressure and oil status are useful for proper maintenance.
