Cons:
  • Not quite as much cargo space as chief rivals, some controls difficult to reach, lifeless steering.

  • terrific vehicle so far - 2010 Chevrolet Equinox
    By -

    Ive just had the car one week. With both city and highway driving I averaged over 28 MPG. The seats are very comfortable and all the features are easy to reach. The base model has a lot of fun features providing instant MPG and average MPG, the SERIUS radio, 2 dispays etc. The 4 cylinder with the 6 speed transmission runs like a 6 cylinder. Motor noise is negligible for a car this size with a 4 cylinder.

    new vehicle, approaching 1000 miles and two weeks of driving. very smooth and tight ride, feels like a nice, solid build. brakes already saved me once from rear-ending a sudden- stopper. fuel efficiency depends on my leadfoot, but cruise control is great at it, so long trips are great.

  • 2010 Equinox is Excellent - 2010 Chevrolet Equinox

    I recently returned from an 1100 mile trip to Eastern NY in my 2010 Equinox LT 4cyl. The ride was comfortable and quiet. The engine has sufficient power to take on the mountains in eastern NY with no effort. I had a little over 500 miles on it when I left and averaged 30mpg on the highway with the cruise. I found the electric power steering on the 4 cyl to be both responsive and firm unlike other electric power steering.

    I really like this vehicle, driving it is a pleasure. Very noise free, smooth riding, comfortable and drives great. I arrive at my destination relaxed and ready to get back in and drive again. People come up and ask me about it, must be catching on. The Cyber grey metallic looks very good on the Equinox. The 4 cylinder is strong enough if you are use to high reving engines, and let it rev.

    Still happy with this purchase. I have downgraded the mileage mark to "8." I have yet to take a long trip without ridiculous traffic (D.C to Outer Banks NC), but did get 29mpg fully loaded down at 75mph for about a one hour drive. Ratings r based on driving at 60mph on highway? The computer says Im averaging 20.5 mpg in northern VA suburban driving. Dont know what to make of all of the conflicting mileage reports. These Equinoxes cant all be made differently -right? I think I will try determining my mileage the old fashioned way to see if the computer is off. Maybe I have a heavy foot. I averaged 21mpg with my Mazda 6 (4cyl.) Anyway unless you get a Prius, whats 3 to 4 mpg?

    I had my eye on this for a few month but wanted to test drive some other crossovers. Drove the Ford Escape, Jeep Liberty, and the GMC Terrain. I drove the FWD and the AWD. It finally came down to the AWD in Black. It looks just as good as any other high dollar crossover and drives just as well too. It has the best look interior out of all the others too. Very quiet ride inside too.

  • Great SUV - 2010 Chevrolet Equinox
    By -

    Id been looking to purchase an Equinox since September but no dealerships in the area had one. Finally ordered one in early December and picked it up the first week of February. Its a great vehicle. I just passed 1,000 miles and Im averaging 29 mpg over mixed driving (interstate, rural highway, and city). The package to get the USB port, Bluetooth, Remote Start, and Steering Wheel controls is well worth it. The 8 speaker Pioneer system puts out great sound. Ive been getting compliments from friends, co-workers, and neighbors since I picked it up. Chevy got this one right, the new Equinox is great.

  • Great small SUV - 2010 Chevrolet Equinox
    By -

    Mine has the V6 option. Rides great and more room than you would expect especially in rear seat area. Son in law says there is more room than in my Avalanche. The gas mileage on the V6 is not what they had claimed with best ever less than 20 combined and if mostly in town drops to 15 or so. Still improvement on the Avalanche I traded in, but could be better. Hopefully that improves once broken in and get past the first oil change too. Interior is very stylish with a friend comparing it to cars like the Lexus,now thats a step up for GM. Shows they are moving in the right direction.

  • Never A Doubt About My Purchase! - 2010 Chevrolet Equinox
    By -

    I purchased my Cardinal Red 2LT 4cyl FWD NOX with sunroof, jet black leather & auto lift gate on October 2nd. The car is beautiful (LOVE the ambient lighting) and handles just as I had expected. The stack buttons were a little overwhelming initially, but now are very easy to use. I am glad I went with the 2LT instead of the 1LT as the fog lights, leather, premium stereo & auto climate control are worth the extra $ to me. The 4cyl has plenty of power on the interstate and Im loving the 27 mpg while driving around town in Kansas City. Do not overlook the Equinox because its a Chevy. Even the most skeptical will be very surprised with what they find in the new 2010 NOX!

  • Aggravating Equinox - 2010 Chevrolet Equinox
    By -

    Have had auto for 3 months and have had to have a battery jump several times already. This vehicle has problems with windows going down on their own resulting in rain and snow to enter. Also at times does not allow you to lock vehicle so shopping is a problem. Mileage is very good, even in city driving. Ride is stiff and interior looks cheap. Remote start is aftermarket done by dealer and has problems. Starts at random and kills battery as radio and wipers continue to run until battery is dead. Should have bought a different auto from another mfg.
