  Best decision I could have made - 2012 Chevrolet Equinox
  By justsayin - February 14 - 1:44 pm

  I just bought the 2012 Equinox. It is my first new car purchase and I couldnt be happier. The ride is smooth, the leg room is outstanding and I feel very safe driving it in less than ideal conditions.

  2012 Equinox exceeds my expectation - 2012 Chevrolet Equinox
  By woodsje09 - February 7 - 12:36 pm

  I am very pleased with everything about the Equinox to this point, I had always been sceptical of crossovers and small SUVs as a taller person. I grew tired of putting $70/week worth of gas in my Expedition, so I decided to give it a chance. At 61 the front seat goes back further than I can have it, not to mention if you do have the front seat all the way back and the rear seat pushed back I can still be comfortable in the back seat. I was hesitant of a 4 cyl SUV, however even living in the mountains the 4 cyl 6 speed in Eco mode does great, I looked down and was doing 80. The features on the suv are amazing too, I am really happy, yes doesnt get 32 mpg but at this point I dont care.

  Great car - 2012 Chevrolet Equinox
  By dben300 - February 5 - 7:19 pm

  i bought this car in sept of 2011. I drive about 110 miles a day and now have around 13,000 miles on it with NO complaints. I am mainly highway driving getting around 30mpg. Being 66" it is hard to find a comfortable car but this is by far 1 of the most comfortable that I have ever owned.

  Excellent Vehicle - 2012 Chevrolet Equinox
  By nrp0714 - January 5 - 2:26 pm

  Recently bought 2012 Equinox LT2 with 6cyl and leather. Super comfortable seats, lots of room and rides/drives really well. MPG is around 24 combined. Back up camera is helpful, info screen is very cool. There is not one thing about it that I would complain about. Auto climate control and heated seats are great. We got the two-tone interior and it looks sharp. Great vehicle for the price

  I Missed My Old Equinox - 2012 Chevrolet Equinox
  By techygeek82 - December 27 - 9:56 am

  So for the past 3 years Ive been driving a truck, which I went to from a 2008 Equinox. I loved it and missed it all those years. Now that Im back in one, I have to say Chevy came a LONG way in their design. From the older models having a retro feel to the 2012s which have a more modern look. Im back in the vehicle I love.

  Happy Sofar with the 2012 Equinox - 2012 Chevrolet Equinox
  By valed4313 - November 4 - 2:50 pm

  Overall Im quite satisfied with my purchase. Nice to have leather seats when its 13 degrees in the mornings. And we really love the remote start. I went all out with features on this vehicle and Im not at all sorry that I did.

  LOVE, LOVE, LOVE - 2012 Chevrolet Equinox
  By rumblev - November 2 - 8:45 pm

  I was dying for an Equinox and nearly bought a 2010 and boy I am glad I didnt! There is a huge comfort difference! I was worried about backseat space for my 9 and 5 year old but there is more room than I imagined and the trunk space is more than I need as well. The driver and passenger is beyond comfortable and I love the touchscreen radio and the controls on the wheel. My husband couldnt understand why I wanted one but now he loves it too! Gas for me so far was what I did in a 2005 toyota corolla ce. To me its a great vehicle inside and out! I dont think I have ever ridden in a more comfy vehicle. I will try to post when I have put more miles on it (so far 400)

  ECO Mode is a bit squirrelly - 2012 Chevrolet Equinox
  By pawcoboss - August 22 - 3:42 pm

  Just bought a 4 cylinder Equinox. Have less than 500 miles on it. Good looks, great value, very comfortable, not going to win any races. Mileage claims I knew going in were significantly overstated but thats O.K. 30 years ago I bought a 1981 Cadillac Eldorado with the V-8-6-4 engine. State of the art technology @ the time. The only trouble was that the car seemed to be driving you rather than you driving it since it would decide when to run on 8 or 6 or 4 cylinders. A real technical flop for GM as it was discontinued after one year. Driving the new Equinox in the ECO mode reminded me of this- shifting into 5th or 6th gear and slow to respond on the downshift. Ive since turned it off.

  Worth the price - 2012 Chevrolet Equinox
  By lanehalli - August 22 - 11:08 am

  I recently purchased a Chevy Equinox base model with the Bluetooth package the only added feature. After nearly 800 miles, I am very happy with my purchase. The Equinox delivers fine performance (even the 4 cylinder moves enough with its smart 6speed transmission). The car steers, brakes and handles with superior results. As for gas mileage, I get around 16 mpg around the city, but 31-32 on moving highways, so I am satisfied. I would think a driver would get around 20 mph around a normal suburban town as the Equinox uses tons of gas starting and stopping in city traffic. The standard features the car is equipped with are more than adequate, as I love the Onstar Navigation and blue-tooth.

  A goodie - 2012 Chevrolet Equinox
  By Lyle Jones - October 29 - 6:36 pm

  This is a very nice car to own. Ease of handling. Good appearance. Comfortable. A little slow on acceleration uphill. The wife likes it. Update: It is starting to burn oil. One quart per 2500 miles. Weve had trouble with the tire pressure sensors. Were at 5500 feet above sea level and when the seasons change from hot to cold the sensors show low pressure when there is no low pressure.
