Overview & Reviews

The Chevrolet Equinox gains two new trim levels to spice things up in 2008: a fully loaded LTZ and the racier Sport with 264 horsepower and a sport-tuned suspension. More basic LS and LT variants receive recalibrated suspension tuning, and all Equinox models get standard OnStar and stability control -- the latter now with integrated electronic trailer sway control.

• Roomy and versatile cabin, wide-ranging model lineup, excellent crash test scores

• Subpar interior materials, slow steering response on non-Sport models

  Not so much - 2008 Chevrolet Equinox
  By Robert Haist - November 16 - 10:25 am

  Its resale value is poor and this car had reliability issues. After 93,000 miles it overheated and blew a head gasket. Had issues with it running rough from a cold start for first few seconds and had problems with spark plugs and spark plug wires. Left rear taillight kept burning out. Would blow white smoke out tailpipe once in a while. I would not recommend buying this car.

  Biggest mistake I ever Made!!! - 2008 Chevrolet Equinox
  By jabner - July 13 - 4:59 am

  Purchased my Equinox new in 2008 with 56 miles on it. The issues in order of occurance: Rear window washer quit, power steering locked up, tire sensors malfuntioned, driver side window & lock and cd player all quit working simultaneously, misfiring at 50mph (changed plugs and wires. Still misfiring) Both headlights have been replaced 9 times in 5 yrs and are very hard to replace. Headlights quit simultaneously each time. GM dropped the ball with the Equinox. Why has there not been a recall?

  Dont buy if you drive in snow - 2008 Chevrolet Equinox
  By Cnwave - September 23 - 9:02 pm

  I have disliked this car since I had to drive it in snow the first week I owned. I thought it would be o.k. to buy a FWD instead of an AWD. I was wrong and so was my salesman. He didnt think I would have a problem. Obviously he didnt know what he was talking about. I wont buy another car from Superior Chevrolet. After making attempts to get some kind of resolution I was unsuccessful.

  I hate my Equinox - 2008 Chevrolet Equinox
  By Harry P - April 10 - 6:42 pm

  Really disappointed that I bought this truck. Traded in my 2003 fully loaded Trailblazer EXT and this is such a step down. GM really went the cheap route in the interior. The Sport version lists for $40k Cdn and there are so many better trucks for that amount of money. The biggest complaint is the ride. From what I can tell the Sport is the worst of them all but it is totally uncomfortable and bounces all over the road. This will be traded quite soon.
