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 vehicle is built extremely well. It drives like a car but gives you the feeling of sitting up higher without the feel of a truck. The interior is really nice and easy to keep clean. The engine is great and gets good gas mileage, but it doesn't pick up speed as well as other vehicles. In addition, it doesn't get as good of gas mileage as the maker claims. The standards in the vehicle are very standard. It is worth it to get a higher trim package in order to get a stronger engine and more luxury electronics. The blue tooth in the car works very well, but doesn't work with anything other than talking on a phone. This is extremely disappointing as you must bring a USB plug in order to play music from any electronics. The outside of the vehicle is comparable with other crossover suvs and cleans very nicely/easily. This is a great family vehicle. It can easily accommodate two car seats and fit another person in the back seat. The seats clean extremely well; even milk, crunched in food or cereal. The floor carpets clean better than any car I've ever owned. The car is so roomy, you can fit two adults, two car seats and a Christmas tree without putting anything on the roof or having to tie the trunk shut!
