Just the opposite for me. I couldn't get around the squared off look of the Terrain. I did buy a summit white LT2 Equinox with leather, backup cam and 18" wheels and I am amazed at the thing. I swore off Chevy about 16 years ago but here I am, owning one again. My wife does the bulk of the driving in the 'nox and absolutely loves it. If the reliability proves good, we may be loyal Chevy customers from now on.

We agreed about the programmable garage door opener being a nice feature to have. I wonder why Chevy does not offer the home link option on any trim level?
We have had our Equinox for 3 months now. I wanted to give everyone an update. We absolutely love the car. I use this as my daily driver. I am 6'5. This is the first vehicle I have EVER been completely comfortable in. Ours has the 8 way power driver seat. I don't have to put the seat all the way back to drive comfortably. In fact, if I do put the seat back, I have to stretch my legs to reach the pedal! The last car that I had with that much leg room was a 1965 Chrysler Newport.
We have the 4 cyl engine. The mileage was OK when I first bought it (around 20 -22 mpg) but after I changed the oil at around 3000 miles, the mpg's soared. I have been getting 25 - 27 mpg city and 32- 35 mpg hwy. Way beyond what I expected to get. I traded in an old pickup for this car. I went from paying $40 - $50 a week for gas to $20 - $30. The 4 cyl also has excellent pickup when I jump on it.
As I mentioned, the vehicle is very comfortable. It is also very stable and handles well on both dry and wet pavement. I'm anxious to see how it will handle this winter.
My only beef with the vehicle so far is the lack of a power seat for the passenger side. My wife has back and neck problems and could really use the power seat. Hopefully GM will include it in future models.
Would I do it again if given the chance? Absolutely! I highly recommend the Equinox for anyone looking for a roomy yet economical vehicle. We don't regret for a moment purchasing this car.
