2007 Chevrolet Equinox Review: A Decent Mid-Size, Low-Budget SUV

Apr 12, 2023

The 2007 Chevrolet Equinox is one of those vehicles that doesn’t really excel at anything, it’s nobody’s dream car. But it does what it does well enough that you can’t complain. Mediocre fuel economy and excessive road noise aside, it’s one of the better vehicles in this price range.

The Good

Roomy, reliable, and packed with so many standard features that you probably won’t even bother looking at the high-end LT trim.

The Bad

The Equinox is adequate across the board, but fails to excel in any particular area. The steering is numb and the engine is loud.

Is the 2007 Chevrolet Equinox a Good Used Car?

Overall Rating 7/10 – A decent mid-size SUV across the board.
Interior, Comfort & Cargo 8/10 – The only real complaint here: Excessive road noise. Other than that, it’s one of the more comfortable vehicles on the road.
Reliability 8/10 – Major issues are few and far between.
Safety 8/10 – Decent crash test scores and loads of standard safety features make the Equinox one of the safer mid-sizes of 2007.
Gas Mileage 7/10 – 19/26 miles to the gallon, city/highway, isn’t the worst fuel economy for a 2007 SUV, but it’s not great, either.
Value 7/10 – The Hyundai Tucson is the better value between the two, but we’re splitting hairs. If you can find an Equinox for under $4,500, that’s a hard deal to beat.

Positive Owner Reviews

Kendrick B

The vehicle is spacious for multiple passengers to fit comfortably.

My vehicle is very spacious to carry my children around town and to all of their sporting events. The back of the vehicle has plenty of room for all of their sporting equipment. The vehicle drives very smoothly, and gets good gas mileage.

Amanda A

It is a hybrid that uses electric motor and a gasoline engine.

I love the size and space. I do not like that sometimes I can't get my key out of the ignition no matter what I try.

Adam D

A workhorse of a vehicle which you can drive for a long time.

Handling is phenomenal, to the point you can comfortably turn with one hand on the wheel as well as two. The vehicle is lightweight and can accelerate well. 2007 Chevrolet Equinox has ran reliably for 11 years, with no sign of letting up soon. One common problem with the model is that the key likes to stick when you go to turn the car off, often because the gear shift sticks in park, and the vehicle is registering the vehicle as still in drive. Rest assured, the car is actually parked, and it should just take a firm wiggle or two to the gear shift.

2007 with 45,000miles only 1 flat

I really have pontiac torrent not on list, I have had no real problems in past and now doing maintenance

Rhonda S

Rear synchro sensor always going off,

Only problem is the synchro sensor goes off. Have had it checked each time serviced and is not creating a problem except the light comes on.

Sofia d

Equinox is a great vehicle. Chevrolet has made an excellent vehicle.

Great car w/ very few problems. I like the style, interior room and color (white). It drives nice and has good amenities.

Vita M

The brilliant blue color is awesome.

I love my car. I bought it used with less than 150k miles. The engine is smooth and changes gears with no problem. The color is a nice and pretty blue and it is so eye catching. I have got leather seats and they're heated. I am having some leak issues when it rains, but I can solve that problem. My remote start does not work and I am not sure what that issue is.

Nikki Y

I recommend Chevrolet Equinox.

I have not had any problems with this vehicle since purchasing it used in 2012. I keep it maintained and it has been a great vehicle for the price. The only improvement would be better gas mileage. It does get the mileage per gallon as specified by manufacturer.

Negative Owner Reviews

Karla K

I like this car because I spend Alot time in this cars.

Old and to much work going into it to keep it running until I can pay it off. To many recalls and to many issues.

Olga Nelson

Chev Equinox are lemons!

My car has turned into a lemon. I have 6 lights on my panel. The latest one my electric power steering just gave out. The car has 265k's. Now I have to scrap it.

Sharon B

The most important thing that others should know about my car, is that it has some mechanical issues and overheats really quick.

I love the AUX port. I like the space. I like the fact that I am up high. I don't like that it is currently not working properly. I will be looking for a new car soon. I want to get a newer version.

Chris M

It's falling apart the paint has started to chip and the ignition gets stuck.

Its an older SUV and Its falling apart I am putting more into the car than It's worth. The seats don't move anymore.

Amanda F

It handles really well in bad weather/ice so you can get home safe.

The key sometimes does not come out of the ignition and it always makes me late. Everything is always breaking. It uses a lot of gas.

Asia Y

It is for sale, I am selling my car to purchase a new one.

Great for running short distances and errands. Large with plenty of room. Not really my style of car, but it was the most practical when purchased.

Julie G

The Chevrolet equinox is a very good vehicle.

The only problem with my vehicle is the age. The driver window do not work, hatch will not work, left turn signal is out and needs tires. Before things started going wrong I loved it. Rides and drives very good. Gas mileage is good and I have always felt safe in it.

Mel C

It is safe, gets good gas mileage. Mirrors fold in!

Has a sunroof, safe, reliable. Good tires, good in snow and rain. Does not have a 3rd row. It is getting old.

What Do Critics Say About the 2007 Chevrolet Equinox?

Consumer Reports were impressed with the interior space and competent V6 engine in the 2007 Chevrolet Equinox, but they didn’t like the noisy cabin, the clumsy handling, the tilty, top-heavy build, the coarse-sounding engine, or the mediocre fuel economy.

Kelley Blue Book found the Equinox impressive in the power and interior space categories, and they liked the SUV’s muscular visual design, too. They didn’t like the numb feeling steering, and they found the interior design drab, contrasting with the bolder exterior.

Edmunds added to the consensus that the 2007 Equinox is a roomy, good-looking SUV, with lousy steering and some iffy interior design choices, noting the awkward control layout for the stereo.

What Common Problems Does the 2007 Chevrolet Equinox Have?

The 2007 Chevrolet Equinox has 681 complaints on file with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. 156 of these are for fuel system issues, with a leading problem being fuel leaking from the top of the tank, this despite a recall for just such an issue in 2012.

Airbags have been a major source of complaint, as well, generating 145 complaints despite a pair of recalls in 2007. Drivers report occupant sensors failing to read passengers in the front seat, and airbag warning indicators going off.

Electrical issues make up 100 of the total complaints on file, with drivers reporting the car going into limp mode any time it rains. Drivers have also reported ignition failure, and instrument cluster going out at random.

The 2007 Equinox has just 4 recalls on file, which is on the lower end of average for an SUV in this model year.

How Long Will the 2007 Chevrolet Equinox Last?

The 2007 Equinox is estimated to last a minimum of 200,000 miles with adequate care. Excellent maintenance may get you to 250,000. Past that you should expect expensive engine and transmission repairs to start piling up.

Repairpal estimate that the Equinox will run you about $416 a year in routine maintenance costs. The most expensive common replacement is a new camshaft at $558. Across the board, these numbers make the Equinox one of the cheaper 2007 SUVs to maintain.

Kim M

For the most part this vehicle is reliable, I did have a problem with the bearings but with that being said it was I am sure normal wear and tear for the vehicles age. The sensors in the tires like to set off the stab track warning.

Emily I

It is fairly reliable. The only problem it has is that the traction control light comes on randomly, but that may be because it is an older car.

Bobbi G

Yes the engine was a problem and also it always heating up. The seats easily get stained. The middle where the cup holders are is not roomy enough I do not like the way it was organized.

Tanya P

It seems to be reliable however the speedometer has been messing up and in order to have it fixed the entire dash has to be pulled and sent tom California.

Mike P

One problem with the 2007 Chevrolet Equinox is that the only door with a manual lock is the driver's.

How Is the Technology?

Entertainment technology in the 2007 Equinox is better than you might expect of an SUV from this model year. iPod/MP3 options come standard with the 6-speaker CD player and sound system, and the LT model features an advanced navigation system.

Safety technology in the 2007 Equinox is, of course, dated by now, but generous for the model year. Anti-lock brakes and StabiliTrak stability and traction control come standard.

Is the 2007 Chevrolet Equinox a Good Value?

The 2007 Chevy Equinox is one of the better SUVs out there for the price. The LS model typically lists at around $4,683, while an LT will go for around $5,068. In this price range it’s competing with budget models that don’t offer nearly as many standard features.

Maintenance costs are nice and low, so your only real concern here is that it’s not the cheapest vehicle to refuel. It’s not terrible for an SUV in this size class, but you may find yourself skipping the occasional drive if you don’t feel like shelling out at the pump.

What are the Different Models of the 2007 Chevrolet Equinox?

The 2007 Chevrolet Equinox is offered in just two trim levels, the base LS and the high-end LT.

With the entry-level LS you’re getting:

Remote keyless entry
CD player with 6 speakers, MP3 player, and iPod support
Anti-lock brakes and StabiliTrak traction/stability control
Cruise control

The top-of-the-line LT adds:

Leather wrapped steering wheel
Premium cloth seating
DVD entertainment system

185 HP 22-22 MPG

What Engines Come In the 2007 Chevrolet Equinox?

The 2007 Chevrolet Equinox is equipped with a 3.4L V6 engine delivering 185 horsepower and 210 lb.-ft. of torque. This is paired to a 5-speed automatic transmission in front/all wheel drive, and it averages 19/26 miles to the gallon, city/highway.

What Colors Does the 2007 Chevrolet Equinox Come In?

How Comfortable Is the 2007 Chevrolet Equinox?

The 2007 Chevy Equinox is pretty comfortable. The biggest complaint you’ll find is that road noise can be a bit loud. But you’ve got 51 inches of rear hip room, the suspension rides nice and smooth, the seats are firm, and your passengers have plenty of room to stretch out and move around.

How Much Storage Space Does the 2007 Chevrolet Equinox Have?

You’ve got 35 cubic feet of storage space in the back of the Equinox, and that expands to 67 cubic feet with the seats folded flat, which makes the Equinox a decent cargo carrier by mid-size crossover standards, capable of small furniture hauls if you find something you like at the thrift shop.

What Are the Differences Between Years?

The 2007 Chevrolet Equinox was the third year in the vehicle’s 1st Generation, which ran until 2010, when the SUV was redesigned to fit into the compact segment.

2005: The Equinox debuted with a 185 horsepower V6 engine and a fold-flat passenger seat.

2006: GM badges and black dashboard panels marked the Equinox’s second-year style-revamp.

2007: The instrument cluster got a redesign for 2007 with trip computers added to the mix.

2008: A 264 horsepower 3.6L V6 was debuted in 2008.

2009: The biggest change for 2009 was the addition of XM satellite radio.

How Does the 2007 Chevrolet Equinox Compare to the Competition?

The 2007 Chevrolet Equinox is a decent SUV that’s priced fairly and at least adequate in more areas than not. But, the class leader in this price range would have to be the Hyundai Tucson, which isn’t quite as powerful, but it’s more fuel efficient, and usually lists at about the same price.

On the other hand, the Equinox absolutely outclasses the 2007 Ford Explorer, which offers more horsepower but at the expense of steep repair costs, lousy fuel economy, and a higher sticker price.

The Equinox is a decent choice if you’re looking for a budget-priced mid-size SUV. There are plenty of better vehicles out there, but if you want a reliable crossover and you don’t want to break the bank, it’s not a purchase you’re likely to regret.

Do Owners Recommend the 2007 Chevrolet Equinox?

Kim M

Yes, very dependable vehicle. Excellent gas mileage for both city or highway. Comfortable for long drives also with a sense of security and safety.

Emily I

Yes, the equinox is a good vehicle. It drives well and it is an all-wheel drive with good traction control.

Bobbi G

Yes and no, I had to get a new engine which was a lot of money. Also there was a problem with the car always heating up. I didn't know why it was happening, I took it in and they had no idea either but once I got a new engine it stopped. Other than that it's been a good car.

Tanya P

It's a wonderful car and I love to drive it because it's a very smooth ride. It takes corner well and has lots of room.

Joan W

I enjoy driving the 2007 Chevrolet Equinox. It is a good vehicle and I would recommend it to someone else.

Great SUV for the price.

I have a 07 Equinox LT its been a great reliable SUV for the family. So far it is at 194k miles on it. The repairs I have had to do have been Alternator , Water Pump. The issues I have with it are the seat belts are noisy because of the plastic. Wheel sensors go out as well as headlights often. Door handles are kinda cheap and break easy although they are simple to fix. The major issue I have is in order to change your serpentinebelt you have to remove motor mount which is a stupid design. Also the biggest problem is the back 3 spark plugs on the engine. They are terrible to change hardly any space to get to them and the EGR valve constantly goes out and needs to be replaced. Best part about this vehicle is the coil pack it's one big coil instead of having to buy six separate ones for each spark plug which is a huge relief when compared to my other vehicles and it's cheap. Other then those issues it's been a great SUV.

Maria C on May 8, 2021

It's not fancy and doesn't have a sunroof but I love it. I'm hoping to drive this car for a few more years and maybe get 275000 miles out of it.

My husband gave me this car and bought a newer equinox. I have over 205,000 miles on car and it's still reliable. I get a few oil changes a year and justaintain it. I love it.

Nikki Y on May 8, 2021

I recommend Chevrolet Equinox.

G.D. on May 8, 2021

Overheating and service traction control and/or stabilitrackissues.

I've noticed that slot of people have been having trouble wit their Equnox's over heating. I think there needs to b a recall on the wires/connector that go to the fans. Most seem to have a short in them. So check this 1st if yours is overheating. Also if your "service stabilitrack" light comes on and it starts running poorly for no apparent reason you should check the throttle body and the O2 sensers. If they are d***y for any reason this seems to happen. It will throw you off at first because one seems to have nothing to do with the other but it does. It starts running poorly because it goes into " safe mode" to protect itself. Just wanted to throw this out there to save time and money for someone else.

Sandy W on May 5, 2021

It is easy to drive and very durable. The styling is timeless. Even with its age it still looks current.

I love that my car is so reliable. Even though it is 14 years old it has never needed major work. I love that it is a suv. I wish it had back up camera.No complaints.

Les M on March 21, 2021

The car is the right size for the family and the cost was what I could afford.

The car runs alright and it will get the family where they need to be. The black color is not the best, I would prefer another color but it was the only color available.

Steve K on March 17, 2021

All wheel drive is great.

What I like its all wheel drive. I also like it gets 25 mpg. I don't like it does not have a tow hitch.

Jasmine M on March 7, 2021

Very reliable. Needs to be maintained well. After 120,000 lots of work needs to be done

I love the reliability. Sunroof is the best. Very roomy.

Jamie M on March 3, 2021

It is safe and comfortable, and has been a reliable vehicle.

Vehicle is great.. Just the upkeep that was missing from previous owners have really aged care. Equinox is dog friendly & love that I can flip seats down to create more storage..

bill s on February 25, 2021

It has a lot of room in front,back and trunk

The ride is nice.seats are good fit for me

Morgan F on February 24, 2021

The Chevy Equinox the most reliable and safest vehicles for my family.

The performance of the 07 Chevy Equinox is great. It drives smoothly, you do not really feel bumps in the road. As far as I can tell, this vehicle is extremely reliable. I wouldn't be scared to take it cross country. The Equinox has gotten my fiancé to and from work in Louisville, Lexington, Elizabethtown, etc. It is gotten us to and from doctor appointments with no problem. It has several features such as seat belt latch sensors, cruise control, radio controls on the steering wheel, shows how many miles until you need to get gas, gives warnings on the dash if the roads are hazardous. The Chevy Equinox is a pretty comfortable ride. The seats lay all the way back, the back seats slid back to have more legroom for back seat passengers. There's a lot of cargo room. It also fits 3 car seats in the back with plenty of room in between each.

Christian V on January 24, 2021

Great road trip SUV great for summer fun trips camping etc

It runs ok need some fixes here and there it works well in snow it eats up a lot of gas but it is and ok SUV great for outdoor travel great for road trips good for shopping kid friendly car system is good I rate it 7 on a 1 to 10 some parts are expensive

Hannah B on January 14, 2021

Very safe vehicle and spacious as well.

I liked the vehicle because it was a safe feeling vehicle. Personally my only dislike was the appearance of the vehicle. I am a younger person and it just didn't suit me.

Lynne B on January 10, 2021

It is American made which is important to me. It is very reliable.

I love my vehicle as it is an SUV. I bought it used so I don't like that it doesn't have a lot of the newer features.

Paul S on January 6, 2021

It is a very reliable vehicle. With only basic maintenance, the vehicle can easily surpass 100,000 miles.

I love the legroom. It is fairly fuel efficient. It has a decent amount of cargo space.

Brooke G on December 31, 2020

The white beast: aka my Chevy Equinox.

I really like my Equinox. It rides great and it is very comfy! There is also plenty of room in the back for all your groceries plus some! It is a very reliable small SUV. I have had it for a little over 2 years now and have never had a problem. I even convinced my mom to get a newer one, so this year she traded in her vehicle and got a new Chevy Equinox. All in all the Chevy Equinox is one of the best vehicles in my opinion and from my personal experience.

Chez B on December 17, 2020

Efficient vehicle great for the family.

Haven't had any major problems, just the basic wear & tear. Car is efficient & very reliable. If your looking for dependability this vehicle would be great.

Justina S on December 11, 2020

The Perfect Family vehicle

The chevy equinox is the perfect family vehicle. I bought this car when my son was first born and let me tell you , it is very roomy and can comfortably fit 5 people.

Meredith B on November 27, 2020

It is very reliable. The driving and handling are good.

Very good service. Economical and has few mechanical problems. Have to continually replace headlight bulbs.

Sara D on November 26, 2020

It is a lot bigger than it looks from the outside.

There are a few things that have went wrong with the car that I wasn't happy with like the body control module went out. They put spark plugs in that cracked and they had a recall on. Other than that it has been a very reliable car. I love the size and there is so much room in the back for leg space. The back seat moves so you can have more leg space or have more room in the very back. It holds a lot of stuff if going on vacation.

Jessica T on November 18, 2020

Mechanic problems. Is not great for car seats with older kids.

It's to small for my family. It keeps coming up with error problem and the mechanics don't know why

Earl T on November 18, 2020

The gas mileage is good and it is very easy to get around town in

It gets great gas mileage. It has the motor to get around town. It is the right size

Lillian B on November 14, 2020

Bad lift gate on all models of equinox.

The lift gate handle breaks and needs replaced and the heating core goes bad and the tire pressure is always going down handles good in bad weather the heat is not so good in cold months when the lift gate goes it don`t open and then the back windshield washer will not work and the fuse to lift gate gose it will not open.

Cody Y on November 13, 2020

The Equinox is a reliable SUV that doesn't sacrifice comfort or features at all.

It's a great compact SUV with a ton of cool features, including an aux port which is unusual for an older model vehicle like this. It handles smoothly, has held up well over the years, and has a nice, comfortable interior with plenty of room.

J. C on November 8, 2020

The stability rack system goes out.

There are issues with the windshield washer not spraying, even after changing the pump and fuses. The gas cap does not always seal. There are larger blind spots than other vehicles.

Rhonda S on October 16, 2020

Rear synchro sensor always going off,

Only problem is the synchro sensor goes off. Have had it checked each time serviced and is not creating a problem except the light comes on.

Amanda A on October 10, 2020

A few issues that I have had.

I have had the hatch back supports stop working. The key fob will not always come out of the ignition. The fuel pump has been replaced 3 times in 1. 5 years.

Holly S on October 2, 2020

Chevy Equinox is a great family car

I'm a single mom of 2 kids and I love my car.. We drive 30 miles a day to school and back and then to work. My Chevy equinox has a had a few problems with the gas light causing a check engine light turning on but other than that my car is very reliable. The drive is nice and does an amazing job in the snow in Utah. I love the sunroof and leather seats.. There is a lot of space for even tall people to relax while they drive.. My next car I want it to be another equinox cause I've never been happy with a car as much as I am with this one

ROSE PETTIT on September 28, 2020

The Best Vehicle I Have Ever Owned! A Heck Of A Lot Better Than The Fords I Have Owned! This 2007 Chevrolet Equonox LT is the Best Vehicle I Have Ever Owned!

My Best Vehicle For Looks, Fuel Efficiency, And Reliability!

Melissa R on September 24, 2020

Very spacious, fully loaded fun to drive not to big and not too small

It is a great car with great features like a sunroof, heated seats, electronic windows and locks. Very spacious. Has problems like any other car with rust, brakes, tires etc. Has. Huge trunk and lots of legroom. I'm personally not a fan of leather seats but they are nice as well

ariadne B on September 21, 2020

The interior was painted red not all of it but some parts.

I love my car it's a perfect size not too big and not too small, it had some air problems where only the heat worked but it's fixed now, it's a perfect car for a mom which I am it's got good space in the back. I hate that the front is starting to look a little rusty.

Sofia d on September 13, 2020

Equinox is a great vehicle. Chevrolet has made an excellent vehicle.

Great car w/ very few problems. I like the style, interior room and color (white). It drives nice and has good amenities.

Jade A on September 7, 2020

White Chevy equinox 2007 review w

No problems has heated seats electric windows and all wheel drive. Seats 5 people and has a lot of space in the trunk for things like camping. The air conditioner works very well. Gas mileage is pretty good I don't know the exact mileage but I can drive a lot and not have to fill for like a week.

Katie H on September 5, 2020

It is a great vehicle for small families!

I absolutely love my 2007 Chevy equinox. It is not the best vehicle on gas but is a better SUV for gas. It is nice and spacious on the inside. I love the way that the body style is made. I would highly recommend this vehicle to anyone! Especially someone with a small family!

Carla T on August 28, 2020

Reliable vehicle for years.

The reliability of my Chevrolet equinox has been great over the past 12 years. I have not had any major issues, just once the computer went out and locked the steering wheel. That has been the only major issue I have had. It's great on gas and comfortable.

Brenda H on August 26, 2020

Cheap, big. Comfortable for the family.

It is economy in gasoline, cheap, rare repairs, economy and comfortable just for families to go outdoors activities with at big space like fishing, park, camping. Hiking, or just to take some extra box to the storage it is a perfect car for all that shores.

Shelly H on August 25, 2020

Great vehicle all around, small but big enough for me. Or a small family

I love it b/c of the heated seats and remote start. I also like the smallness of it, but it does not have 4 wheel drive, that is the only thing I do not like about it .

virginia w on August 25, 2020

It's roomy and the height is perfect for me and my husband who had a stroke and has trouble getting in & out of cars. I also like the seats that let down in back to haul stuff to big for a car.

I bought my car used in April 2018, I am pleased with its performance so far. It (being used) does have some (squeaks ) but everything else is good. Had everything checked out before purchasing (brakes etc) and everything was in excellent condition.

Elouise T on August 20, 2020

It gets good gas mileage and gets around town really easy

I like the gas mileage. I like the size of the vehicle. I like how peppy it is

Patricia S on August 18, 2020

It's fun, nice to drive, fairly good gas mileage.

Easy to drive, moonroof, smooth riding, good technology for 2007. Complaint: getting old, so things are wearing out.

Rita B on August 14, 2020

I have had few problems with it. Only common age related.

I love that it has remote start and it is roomy. I have had few problems with it. I wish is had better gas mileage.

Natasha S on August 13, 2020

It's dependable as long you going to one place and back but if you plan on sitting in traffic. It overheats bad.

My car helps me to get to A to B but the car overheats constantly and the A.C doesn't. I thought it was just me having bad luck but unfortunately I talk to friend who has a similar cars and they have the same issues. I don't know if it is something with that make and model.

Shannon C on August 10, 2020

Lots of legroom and storage space.

Very reliable and comfortable. Lots of room for luggage or sports gear. Seats also lay down for more room.

katie s on August 5, 2020

This has been a very reliable vehicle. It has required only routine maintenance. I have only had to replace brakes, tires, battery - nothing unexpected.

It keeps working and I'll keep it until it stops. It still looks good as well.

Amber F on August 2, 2020

Great leg room in the back seat. It is good for people with long legs.

I have had some electrical issues. It is currently in the shop for this reason. The upholstery also always looks d***y if it gets wet. I wish it had a sunroof.

Olga Nelson on July 24, 2020

Chev Equinox are lemons!

My car has turned into a lemon. I have 6 lights on my panel. The latest one my electric power steering just gave out. The car has 265k's. Now I have to scrap it.

Austin G on July 23, 2020

It has a great engine and gets good gas mileage.

I like the way it rides like a sedan. I like the space in the backseat. I like the ease of maintenance. I dislike the turn radius.

Nicole M on July 19, 2020

The most important thing others should know about our car is it is very reliable.

I do not have any complaints. The care has worked out so far and nothing has gone completely wrong so I do not have complaints.

Jacob B on July 17, 2020

Reliability of 2007 Equinox.

Very comfortable, reliable, and drives smoothly. I drive it on average of 15 thousand miles a year and have yet to encounter anything faulty happening. The only things that I have needed to take this car in for is general maintenance for normal wear of parts.

joy M on July 11, 2020

Great SUV for a great price

I love my 2007 Chevy Equinox. It's a very comfortable SUV. It rides smooth and handles like a dream. I have always wanted an Equinox and it's not very bad on gas either. I love the cruise control when I travel long distance, it's definitely a must buy vehicle and I have so much room to store everything I need to travel and it's definitely within reach too.

Veronica V on July 9, 2020

Perfect car for college student.

The speed meter breaks once I hit a certain speed. It might just be because my car is an older model but once I hit 80, my speed meter will start shaking and will eventually work its way to 120 when I could only be doing 40. Eventually it works its way back down to 0 but it takes it a while to do so.
