My Equinox is a pretty basic model, which is what I wanted. I do not have the back-up camera or sensor. I don't have built in DVD. I don't have a sunroof. I had to add the tint to the windows, the towing hitch, and receiver. I also bought a cargo net, but for the most part, I'm happy with my base model. It's a four-cylinder, so it doesn't have a ton of power, but it can get moving if it needs to. The engine also isn't as good on gas as it should be, and I think that's because it's a heavy car with a tiny engine. It is, however, available in a six-cylinder, I just didn't choose that option. The backseat is nice, roomy, and easily accommodates three. The sound system is OK too. It holds one CD and can play through my phone, plugged into the USB adapter in the arm rest compartment.

I have had a lot of mechanical problems with the car, but I know numerous people who have newer models of the Equinox and love them. I do like that it has so much trunk space, even when the back seat is up. It does have better gas mileage than a lot of trucks, but I feel it has below average gas mileage for a SUV. It has a lot of dim lighting when it is dark outside, which is really helpful because you can see the cup holders and other things, but it is not too bright where it is distracting or bothersome for someone sleeping. I love that it has so many things in the menu on the dash. The menu is very accessible and easy to scroll through quickly.
