Used 2012 Chevrolet Equinox for Sale

The Chevy Equinox is an interesting crossover SUV that combines the terrific fuel efficiency of a car with the spacious interior of an SUV. I purchased a 2012 Chevy Equinox LT1. The extra features included on this model were power windows, power locks, power mirrors, and remote start. Don't underestimate the value of remote start in the Summer and Winter months when you want to freeze out the heat or warm up the chill. I totally love this vehicle and plan on buying a new one if my Equinox ever needs to be replaced. My Equinox is like part of the family. It is safe and handles well. The stock tires are top quality, and replacements are easily found. The car's handling is excellent. I have steered out of a skid and a serious accident. It is satisfying to know that I am in a safe vehicle. I am able to listen to the radio, a CD, or my smartphone's apps while driving. The controls on the steering wheel make it much easier to control the radio station, hands free phone, and internal sensors of the car for those days when you need more information about the car's performance.

The interior of the car is just okay. The button on the dashboard that is used to turn the child locks on and off has fallen off a few times. It is easy to fix in that I just have to clip it back in; but on occasion, it has been too late when it has fallen off in the car. The chrome around the front cup holders has been chipping and is now sharp and could cut someone. I do like how the backseat is able to move forwards and backwards in order to accommodate space in the trunk or people's leg room. The check engine light came on, and I have taken it to the dealership, and no one could find anything wrong, so they cleared the light and sent me on my way. However, a week later, the check engine light was back on, and so I took it back to the dealership and again couldn't find anything wrong, so they just cleared the light. Another week or so the check engine light came back on, and I took it to a different place where they again cleared the light. Since then, the light has not come on. The fuel economy seems to be pretty great. I was able to go from Ohio to Illinois without needing to fuel up. It is a bit difficult to feel the air conditioning or heat when in the backseat since there are not any vents back there. So when you turn it up, the people in the front of the vehicle get too cold or hot.
