the Equinox is the definition of an appliance. Nothing wrong with that, we need cars like that too

[orng]

congrats on 40K subs! The equinox is pretty good, but personally I would want some more audio inputs

[tharris]

It would be a winner if still offered the 2.0 turbo.

We have one of these for one of our work vehicles. I find the ergonomics not very comfortable as well. Especially the angle the my ankle is on the has peddle lol.

Chris was definitely in a mood during the first part 🤣

Bought mine end of Feb..This Old Lady loves hers

[CapELarry]

I had a base model as a rental for a week during a work trip. Your take is much nicer than mine was. Everything about that vehicle felt like it was punishing me.

[toniwilson]

Truly this is one of the reviews of a car of all time.

[stevenjohnson]

The bias if amazing, the turn signal is cheap, you don't like the shifter. LOL. The base engine is on par with all the other base engines in this category. People like the car, because it is a well rounded vehicle that does everything needed and looks good.

Lots of quality uterist observations in this review

To enter and unlock, press once for driver side only, 2nd time to unlock the rest of the car.

While I can’t stand anything Chevy besides the C8 & Camaro ZL1, my fiancée and her family have always been “Chevy Enthusiasts”, as I prepare to get rid of her Impala (which surreally serves her well @ 200k+ miles) for a GV70. Her first car in college 20+ years ago was a Malibu and her parents currently have a brand new fully loaded Equinox. 😂

Nice job! A heated steering wheel is a spoiled must for me now -- it seems the "imports" don't care about that option or you have to buy the top trim level.

The Equinox is the input King! Who would have thought? 😂

One reason to choose an Equinox over the Rogue, CRV, Rav4, and Escape is that the Equinox doesn't have a CVT transmission. I am amused that you both want to redline an Equinox, when it's not a vehicle meant for that. It's what you described...a minivan posing as a crossover vehicle.

I saw an Equinox LS for $22K brand new here in the Austin area. With car prices as they are, that's a pretty good deal. The new Equinox coming out later this year looks nicer, but the non-AWD version is a CVT...bleh.

I did have the Cruze Diesel hatchback, and it was a fantastic engine. The torque really made it seem faster and more powerful that it probably was. I easily got 48mpg in mixed driving, and on the highway got up to 60mpg, with me getting 600 miles on a tank of fuel. I wish GM put that 9sp transmission in all their vehicles. I found it did a pretty great job at shifting. I wish GM didn't abandon diesel engines.

I have a 22 Chevy equinox in my phone won't stay hooked

[scott.wrightnj]

I had a 2020 2.0l LT it was great. I traded it In. On a bmw 3 series In the car pandemic lol 😆

[toddlehman]

This review was so positive for such a junker. Near 40k for a 1.5 liter is not good value.

[Drrck]

I like the new facelift of the 23 Equinox, but not feeling that shade of green.

[cantwealljustgetalong]

the equinoxes are amazing. stop hating boys. btw ive never seen that color equinox before it looks great
