2010 Chevrolet Equinox User Reviews

Pros

Great looking, comfortable, lots of amenities even with LS model

Cons

Shifting takes some getting used to in "ECO" mode

Purchased As New

I had been in the market for an SUV crossover vehicle. Truth of the matter is that I had a hard time getting my hands on one of these vehicles in my region. I had been looking for well over a month before I was able to get my hands on one.

Although I wanted the 1LT model I ended up with the LS model, but I am not disappointed in the least.

I keep the vehicle in ECO mode the whole time. While this makes the shifting a bit weird in comparison to what I am used to, it doesn't bother me enough that I don't want to save on the gas mileage.

It is important to note that I have not reached the estimated gas milage that has been advertised. Since I purchased the SUV I am averaging 24.9 MPG in ECO mode. It should be noted that I do take rather long trips once a week (4 hours each way). The best MPG rating I have gotten is 27.9. While this is not the fuel economy that was advertised it is still great in comparison with other vehicles.

Though the LS model is the "lowest" model trim type available it does come with power locks, windows, and, as many reviews have pointed out, a great sound system that helps decrease the noise that usually comes with having a 4-cylinder engine. The XM radio, auxilary jack, and plenty of ac power outlets are a big plus for me.

I love the over all spaciousness of the interior and comfort of the seats as well.
