What Our Members Are Saying about the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2009 Chevrolet Equinox

2009 Chevrolet Equinox Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2010	4dr SUV 182-horsepower 2.4L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD	Front seat comfort and room is great. Driver side lumbar support continues to work great. see full Chevrolet Equinox review
2010	4dr SUV 182-horsepower 2.4L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD	We really like the track sliding nature of the rear seat. Give passengers in the back plenty of leg room. Also, the large rear doors make it quite easy for our aging parents to get in and out of this vehicle. This feature, more than any other, really "sold" us on the Chevy Equinox. see full Chevrolet Equinox review
2010	4dr SUV 182-horsepower 2.4L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD	The equinox was one of the very few cars that could swallow both a double stroller and two infant seats with ease. see full Chevrolet Equinox review
2008	4dr SUV 185-horsepower 3.4L V6 5-speed automatic FWD	The bucket seats are at a perfect height for easy entry and exit. Also there is a liftable arm rest between the seats for storing purse, etc. which eliminates the need for reaching to the back when the passenger seat is occupied. see full Chevrolet Equinox review
2008	4dr SUV 185-horsepower 3.4L V6 5-speed automatic FWD	Ample leg and hip room. I am only 5foot 4 inches but have a wide posterior. Seat is comfortable for me. My son is 6 foot 3 inches and medium build. He has ample leg and body room. see full Chevrolet Equinox review
2008	4dr SUV 185-horsepower 3.4L V6 5-speed automatic FWD	The rear bench seat can slide forward or back. When slid back, there is ample leg room for even the tallest of passengers. see full Chevrolet Equinox review
2008	4dr SUV 264-horsepower 3.6L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD	The rear seat can slide forward and back 8" providing generous leg room for rear passengers. see full Chevrolet Equinox review

2009 Chevrolet Equinox Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2010	4dr SUV 182-horsepower 2.4L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD	I like the firmness of the front seats, but others may have an issue with it. Seat width leans to the narrow side however, and shoulder room is merely adequate. see full Chevrolet Equinox review
2010	4dr SUV 182-horsepower 2.4L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD	Rear seat legroom is phenominal (and one of the big reasons I chose the Equinox) when you slide it all the way back. This is the first vehicle I've owned where you can fit 4 6'+ people without anyone having to readjust their seats or compromise in any way. The rear seats also recline to a small degree which is an added bonus. see full Chevrolet Equinox review

What Our Members Are Saying about the Powertrain of the 2009 Chevrolet Equinox

2009 Chevrolet Equinox Powertrain: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2010	4dr SUV 182-horsepower 2.4L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD	Performance from the 182hp I4 is adequate and works well around town and cruising on the freeway. Power delivery is smooth for a 4 banger, and the only time you wish you had more power is climbing steep hills and trying to accelerate from a low speed to highway speeds on an on-ramp. Fuel economy is good as well..I've seen a high of 33.2mpg under perfect conditions and a low of 27 under less than ideal. Around town I get anywhere from 19-24 mpg which is acceptable. see full Chevrolet Equinox review
2010	4dr SUV 182-horsepower 2.4L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD	6 speed is so smooth. see full Chevrolet Equinox review
2008	4dr SUV 264-horsepower 3.6L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD	The Sport models 264hp provides excellent power. see full Chevrolet Equinox review
