I bought my Equinox when they first came out, and I love it!  We bought this with the idea that when we have kids, we won't have to go out and buy a "mom" car, and even though we stil don't have kids, I still Love my car!

It's easy to drive, even for my husband who was TOTALLY against buying an SUV.  The gas mileage is good for an SUV, I get about 17 city/22 highway.  It is also easy to maneuver in traffic.

2 cons - the wind noise when driving is pretty loud.  However, the stereo system has an "auto" control, so it gets louder when you speed up.  Also, the mirrors seem to knock off pretty easily. ...
