Just ordered a 2010 Equinox 2LT with leather this week and wondered if anyone had one and what they thought of it after a few miles. I ordered it with the 4 cyl engine for the extra few MPG's.

 

There were several 1LT's around but no 2LT's so I decided to order what I wanted. The dealer thought it would be around Thanksgiving before I got it. I ordered the Mocha Steel metallic (which I have never seen) with the jet black/brownstone 2-tone leather.

Brian Dietz (AKA Failanater) has one and he and his wife both really like it. They haven't had it long but they are definitely fans.

 

That said, I drove a GMC Terrain in Austin a few weeks ago and got a CEL and bad misfiring with only 21 miles on the clock. That was probably just a fleet car fluke though!

 

 

Good luck, let us know what you think!

We got our 2LT AWD on Sept 17. So far it has been great. Still working on the mileage though, it appears to be getting better as it breaks in. We got the Cardinal Red with the chrome package and automatic rear liftgate. There's alot of little nice touches. When you set the cruise it tells you on the DIC what speed it is set at. Theres a setting on the radio for minimum volume, so if you turn the truck off with the radio kinda loud it always starts at the lower volume you specified in the setup. Our Cell Phones synced nicely and without problem. My wifes Ipod touch can be controlled.

You will love the Mocha/Black Brownstone color combo. I just picked up my 2010 Equinox LTZ AWD V6 this week and thats is the color combo I got. Sofar with under 200 miles on it the DIC says 19.4mpg average. You will love it, tons of cool features and the interior ambient lighting is awesome at night. If it quits raining here ill throw some pics up of it tomorrow.

I still have yet to see one in that color. They changed the name from Mocha to Magna steel metallic. Ordered it 4 weeks ago today so still have a few weeks before it gets here.

I like the new look! I tried to get my parents into one but they just didn't see it. They could have used the AWD up in Pa where they live. That is a nice color combo!

My mother recently bought it and i have driven it a little bit and didn't care for it. There is a lot of blind spots and very tight in the drivers seat. Granted i am 6'6 so it all depends on how big of a guy you are. But my mother loves it and wonders why she didnt buy one earlier.

I really like boldness of the Terrain and the Equinox looks good also. They just need a SS version :lol:

01silverado2500,

 

Thanks for the pics. That should be about what mine will look like although I didm't order the chrome package which I believe is standard on the LTZ.

Yeah the chrome package was standard on the LTZ, I was a little worried about it looking cheezy with the chrome but it looks good with it in person.

 

Just had a friend of mine who saw a Mocha one at a dealer looking at ours and he loves it, he said its a awesome color, not silver, not gray but very very sharp with the brownstone interior.

I will say I drove ours tonight for awhile and the A pillars are huge, very deep so that kinda blocks some view. The rear is kinda tough to see out of with the large C and D pillars and the rear headrests but ours has the rearview mirror back up camera and the USPA back up assist so i just watch the rear camera and listen to the beeps.

 

The seats are a little narrow for me also, but im way to use to my Sierra bucket seats taht are huge. Legroom is amazing im 6' and i cant reach the gas with the driver seat all the way back. Plenty of room in the back seat too.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Atlas · Posted

      People mislead themselves. Statistics are highly useful indicators.   Here's the tie-in to this thread. If an oil sample tests shows a wear indicator of 7 using cheaper ACDelco oil, and a wear indicator of 2 (lower = less wear) using a particular brand of Mobil oil, and wear has a linear relationship with engine lifespan, anyone could assume that Mobil is reducing wear by more than 50% (let's just say a 200% reduction for you red state people trying hard to do math) which leads to increasing engine life by 2x. Perhaps, in a vacuum, by itself, when dreamed by AI.   Yeah?! That's what the statistic is saying, isn't it?   No, it isn't. It didn't come out and say engine life is doubled. That's a very bad assumption, and a case of severe myopia by assuming something potentially untrue about the only data point in focus.   Average cost of a new car is 50k. You bet it is.   The median cost of a new car is more like 35k. Expensive cars are skewing the perception that "average" now means a $50k price of entry for a very average automobile. And that's not true. People who don't understand statistics twist the living heck out of them to mean all sorts of things they don't actually mean.   "Average" new car payment is $1000/month. Yep, it is. And in that number are all the $35k new car buyers who bring significant equity, and the $25k new car buyers who finance the car for a month just to get a rebate, and then pay it off. Know what isn't in that number? All the payments made by people who don't finance a car.   Picking one's own data point (don't have a car payment, never paid $50k for a new vehicle, my house cost $170k, I afforded a middle class lifestyle on $4.50/hr) is just a data point. Just like earning $25/hr in an area where the median home price is almost $1 Million is a data point. In fact, it's a lot of data points given that 80% of the US population lives in/around major cities. They're not idiots; the vast majority of them do it to make a living because that's where the big money is.   The highs have become higher, lows have become lower, and how your personal mileage varies is not truth for an entire country. At the same time you can't NOT acknowledge the data. While it doesn't paint YOUR personal picture, it certainly tints the reality that you also live in, as does your single data point.

      Poll: Does your truck have the rear window leak?

      Glad you had success with it. I did as well, but about 5-6 months later it returned. Tried again, same result. This was after the dealer made several attempts and never even got it to slow down.

      Will not stay in Reverse

      By TheGeek · Posted

      I have a LTZ and it has the shifter in the console, which I like, but, every now and then, it will not stay in Reverse. I go through all the motions, hold the button in, push the shifter forward and watch the dash.  The big red R comes on and also the back up camera.  Then, it just pops out of Reverse with the shifter all the way forward.  So then the game begins.  Back and to Drive, Reverse.  This goes on 8 - 10 times. Very frustrating. Had it back to the dealer and they replaced some kind of computer, but it is now happing again. It is so bad, my wife will not drive the truck, she is afraid of being stuck somewhere.    Anyone else with this PIA problem?

      I see where you’re going and I can appreciate that. Statistics can be misleading because of the word average. They say statistics show the average cost of a new vehicle is about 50k. The average monthly payment is close to 1000 dollars a month. That’s statistics for you. I know very few people who pay that.
