2013 Chevrolet Equinox - Love the experience.
The Chevy Equinox is a well-built, sturdy vehicle. The cargo area is perfect, with a mix between carpeting and solid, sturdy plastic that makes moving things in and out a breeze. The latches for folding down the back seats are a breeze. The body shape is very sporty with durable bumpers, just in case.. There is enough space in the cargo area to load pieces of furniture in the back for transporting when needed without the need to rent a trailer.. And to top it off, there is a roof rack and the tow package is a standard feature. When gardening time comes around, I can load all the veggie and flower plants in one trip, along with fertilizer and any other gardening needs to get those gardens going. The infotainment features are top notch -- phone connect, Sirius, touch pad for moving thro... (more)

The infotainment features are top notch -- phone connect, Sirius, touch pad for moving through the menu. It is a super comfortable vehicle with cup holders in just the right place and right size and console storage that is extremely deep and useful. USB ports in console and another in small storage area in the dash. Plenty of room up front without feeling as though are in a sardine can yet sturdy build for safety. At 66,000 miles, all electronics continue to work as problem. Love the back-up camera for additional safety.
We loved being able to load it up with supplies when planning a road trip around the state. Our agenda was wide and varied, from digging in the salt mines to traveling highways and avoiding interstates. We started on Route 66, traveled east, making numerous stops at museums and wineries, shopping and finding out of the way diners to enjoy home town cooking. We headed north and then west before...

We loved being able to load it up with supplies when planning a road trip around the state. Our agenda was wide and varied, from digging in the salt mines to traveling highways and avoiding interstates. We started on Route 66, traveled east, making numerous stops at museums and wineries, shopping and finding out of the way diners to enjoy home town cooking. We headed north and then west before heading south and east to our home base. This vehicle is so comfortable for road trips plus durable when driving out to the salt mines. From all the daily accessories to the digging items we needed, this vehicle held all and performed well in all areas of our road trip.
I love SUVs. Infotainment system is quite robust. Stereo with 6 speakers is a plus. I love the look of the body -- no right angles like some that look as though they were designed by a Transformer engineer!

The Chevy vehicle interiors do seem a bit dated to me.

2013 Chevrolet Equinox - A great vehicle for transporting people and numerous gardening supplies. No squeaks or rattles!
This vehicle has held up well, and anytime someone new gets in the car, I get compliments on its attractiveness. I'm thrilled that there are no rattles, nor have I had any serious issues with this vehicle. Even traveling back and forth to work along with other driving, I rarely have to fill the gas tank more than every two weeks. I'm an avid gardener so I'm hauling a lot of soil, compost, mulch, etc., and it's roomy enough to hold what I need on each nursery visit. The back storage cleans up easily. I love the little "nooks" in the back for holding small items - like a carton of eggs! The two charging ports are a plus and love that I can connect my cell phone if I need to answer a call while driving.

As mentioned, I am an avid gardener and do my own lawn care. Quite often I am at one nursery or another getting supplies for vegetable and flower gardens, and supplies for potted plants. This particular season, I set a pretty lofty goal. I had to purchase bags and bags of compost, garden soil, potting soil, mulch, and about 80 feet of metal edging.

As mentioned, I am an avid gardener and do my own lawn care. Quite often I am at one nursery or another getting supplies for vegetable and flower gardens, and supplies for potted plants. This particular season, I set a pretty lofty goal. I had to purchase bags and bags of compost, garden soil, potting soil, mulch, and about 80 feet of metal edging. A nursery employee helped load my vehicle. I noticed a rather skeptical look on his face as he looked at my load and then looked into my vehicle. He didn't say anything; just started loading. A couple of times he looked at what still needed to go in and then looked back into my vehicle. Well, it all fit with no problems. When we were finished, I smiled and said, "You weren't sure it would all fit, right?" He smiled and admitted he was leery and said, "You have room to spare!"
Size is great for me. Charging ports. Cup holders. Phone connection.

Air conditioning vents are the best when it comes to their placement and ability to adjust for comfort. The trim around the inside, seats, etc.) is poor quality and is peeling in some places.
