  Better equipped and built than the competition - 2012 Chevrolet Equinox
  By labluebabe - July 15 - 6:25 pm

  We test drove the new Mazda CX-5, Ford Escape, Nissan Rogue, Hyundai something and a few other SUVs. The top of our list was the Equinox, Escape and CX-5. The Ford and Chevy were our two favorites, but at the end of the day the Equinox was cheaper for the fully loaded version and came with a 100k mile/5yr warranty, vs the 60k on the Escape. We got the LTZ loaded with FULL LEATHER seats, not partial leather in the Titanium (beware! you can find full leather Escape Titaniums but MOST of the Titaniums are PARTIAL leather where just the middle insert is leather!). To anyone looking at new SUVs, be sure to test drive BOTH the V6 and 4 cylinder Equinox, theres a huge difference in power!

  Great SUV purchase - 2012 Chevrolet Equinox
  By newchevysuv - July 8 - 5:31 pm

  Great new suv purchase for our family of 4. After shopping around we found a beautiful Chevy Equinox at the best price at Montebello Chevrolet! Our salesperson was very professional and very knowledgeable about this vehicle. We knew we were done shopping once we arrived at Montebellow Chevrolet. We could not resist the price of this new car. I drive it to work everyday. Its easy to drive and runs so smoothly and its a great looking car. We are very happy with our purchase. This is exactly what we were looking for in a car.

  Good every day vehicle. - 2012 Chevrolet Equinox
  By ground_zero - June 25 - 9:03 am

  Externally the 2012 Equinox looks alot beefier than the old model with its muscular looking exterior, internally the first thing that grabbed me was the large touchscreen radio, sitting down in the chair I discovered how comfortable it is, one of the most comfortable seats in any vehicle I have owned so far. The 4 Cylinder engine chugs along nicely sipping gas relatively conservatively (no 32 MPG Highway, more like 25-30) Its got plenty of space for passengers, the near is a bit disapointing if you plan to carry a bunch of luggage but still enough. It does seem to take corners a tad wide and its something to get used to especially when parking.

  So far so its great. - 2012 Chevrolet Equinox
  By sixstringerman - May 31 - 1:39 pm

  I dont know why anybody would really knock this car. The car does what its supposed to do. I live in the SF Bay Area and lots of traffic and hills. Im getting 23+ mpg and Im still learning how to drive with mpg in mind. The car teaches you how to achieve it if you pay attention. After a while it will become second nature. I can see how this car can deliver the mpg that it claims when on the open road more. Got all the goodies except Nav. It drives very well, but you can tell you have a small engine. Im not a guy who thinks he needs to have speed and power. Just get me to where I want to go. Im good.

  2012 Chevy Equinox 1LT V6/AWD w/ All Star Package - 2012 Chevrolet Equinox
  By islandreamer - May 19 - 9:39 pm

  This is an update to my previous review. After a little over 3500 miles, I have been averaging 21 mpg at an average speed of 26 mph (mix city/hwy). On the interstate at a steady 65 mph, I was able to average 28 mpg and at steady 70 mph, 27 mpg. Not bad for V6 with all wheel drive. I hope to see more improvement as she continues to break in. This ride is getting better and better!

  My 2012 Chevy Equinox is Awesome! - 2012 Chevrolet Equinox
  By lovinmechevy - March 31 - 12:33 pm

  Just switched from a porsche to Equinox. Wow, what a value in this vehicle compared to what I was driving. Okay, no more pep but thats a given. But everything else about this vehicle I love. The look, aero design, interior space (I do mean more great space), comfort and overall fun to drive. The value for what you are getting is wonderful. There is more technology in this SUV than I can ask for in relative to the price. Its so practical and I have more money in the bank too. Two thumbs up!

  2012 Chevy Equinox 1LT AWD V6 w/ All Star Package - 2012 Chevrolet Equinox
  By islandreamer1 - March 21 - 8:10 pm

  This is our first American/Canadian vehicle and SUV. We were narrowing down the comparison to this and the Kia Sorento. After test driving both, it was not hard to decide on the Equinox. The only advantage we saw with the Sorento was the larger size, optional third row and 10 year warranty. At least this time, Chevy has matched Kias mileage warranty at 100,000 miles. The drive on the Equinox was smoother and quieter. Console design on the Equinox is more appealing to the senses. Just went over 1300 miles and have been averaging 20 mpg on mix city and highway driving. OnStar is a nice feature but costly. Actual highway mileage remains to be seen. Got it at about $500 below invoice:-)

  Worth the buy - 2012 Chevrolet Equinox
  By worththebuy - March 20 - 12:55 pm

  I purchased this vehicle in July 2011. It was certified preowned with V6 per my request. Drive this 3000 miles a month due to my 10 hr weekly commute out of state for work. Anyway while I agree with others it sucks in city driving, its great for highway. Manage to get 25 mpg at 70 mph. Got this vehile when it was almost 19K miles. Now Im approaching 49K miles. Not had one problem with it. Great runner for me. Purposely wanted a V6 for the ride and ease of driving conditions. Didnt think 4 cyl would handle the PAs valleys on the interstate roads. Thinking trading in for newer Equinox so I can have factory towing package (hd springs & shocks, beefed up tranny cooling lines).

  Love it! - 2012 Chevrolet Equinox
  By gobigredaz - February 15 - 7:12 pm

  We love our new car. It is sporty and fun to drive. I like having the back up camera so I can see what is going on behind me and thankfully I had it the other day or I would have ran over a dog that was behind me.
