Update!
I have has my Equinox LT Since September 2006 and I have not had one major issue.
The ride took some adjustment to get used too. I was driving an Escape before this SUV and the Escape drives somewhat like a jeep or truck whereas the Equinox handles more like a car.
The SUV drives great, handles all the snow we are getting easily, and is extremely comfortable.
The only two things I would have designed differently are:
I would have taken out the shelving system in the trunk and stuck to open space. That would have provided more cargo room. The shelving unit is a rather useless feature and not very practicle.
The other item would be the middle cup holder/storage space unit. It gets in the way of the lower section. I would have kept the whole unit low and eliminated the need for two parts to it.
Still! Over all the equinox is a great ride and I am really happy with it!
