  Almost a world beater - 2005 Chevrolet Equinox
  By Dave R - July 3 - 10:50 pm

  This would be a great vehicle, if it wasnt for one huge problem. The gas mileage is total crap. My first tank I ran thru it at 65 mph on the freeway checked 20.5 mpg. The second tank was the same. If this doesnt change for the better soon, I will trade it off. I only have 600 miles on it right now, but it must make a major improvement. Otherwise I love it!

  By shamgotti - May 28 - 10:00 am

  bought this vehicle 10 june, and so far so good. like this vehicle more than the rav4 i test drove because of size and v6 power. toyota had it beat by far in terms of interior material quality. likes-v6 power, leather seats, exterior styling, stereo system dislikes-interior material quality (especially the dashboard) firm seats. overall i am happy with my purchase.

  I probably will trade it in - 2005 Chevrolet Equinox
  By Peggy - May 21 - 8:56 pm

  My sharp LT has many upgrades and I was thrilled when I bought it. Unfortunately, I have had several problems with it; it probably would have been wise for Chevrolet to buy it back from me after the first or second problem to maintain brand loyalty. It has been back to the shop for electrical problems, a mystery problem with the catalytic converter and, most recently, it could not maintain power to get out of the parking lot at work (a 5% grade on dry pavement). It recovered spontaneously the next morning, but that did not help me get home! I have not yet taken it to the shop for an investigation of this latest problem, but it struck out as far as Im concerned. I cannot recommend it.

  Good First Vehicle - 2005 Chevrolet Equinox
  By EMills - April 17 - 9:23 pm

  Good visibility. Fairly tight turning radius. MP3 CD player is a sanity saver. Acceleration is a bit sluggish. Automatic headlights good. Interior dome light can be turned off in sub-optimal situations. One-off wipers excellent feature. In winter, heater warms up quickly. Easy to enter and exit with driver/front passenger doors partially open. Real mileage is 20mpg. Cargo area high enough to not require bending to place and remove items.

  Fun in Southington - 2005 Chevrolet Equinox
  By Mara Little - April 17 - 6:36 am

  Its a fun vehicle to drive. Its got great handling and good acceleration. The radio has great sound and I love the fact that it tells you the songs that are playing. So far the gas mileage isnt as good as I thought it would be. Im hoping as time goes by, it will improve. All in all I love it, and would definitely recommend it.

  Equinov Great - 2005 Chevrolet Equinox
  By jean taylor - March 4 - 10:23 pm

  This is my first SUV. Handles well on long drives, very comfortable. The only negative would be mileage - even on highway I was only averaging 22 mpg. Have recommended it to others.

  Nice SUV, but..... - 2005 Chevrolet Equinox
  By Bumleg - February 26 - 10:00 am

  I only bought foreign autos until now because I loved the looks of the Equinox and decided to give Chevrolet a chance. So far I am pleased with the Equinox, except the gas mileage is not so great (18 mpg) and it is hard to see out the right rear side of car when pulling out. There is blind spot, and the rear seat head rests block view to a point of being dangerous. This needs to be looked at by GM. The SUV is roomy and comfortable though, and easy to look at.

  a great buy and not to big nor to small - 2005 Chevrolet Equinox
  By Lisa R. - February 1 - 12:53 pm

  I have had my suv since July 2004 and there have been a few problems whith rattling in the steering they had to change the sterring column and a few recalls but we as new buyers of a new model will be the test drivers I would buy a another one in a few years when they have improved our needs. It is a fun ride and great for mothers that dont want to drive a hge tank and not a a ugly mini van. Fuel economy does however stink.

  Nice ride - 2005 Chevrolet Equinox
  By Ken Boldt - December 13 - 9:26 am

  Overall I have enjoyed driving the vehicle, however I am somewhat concerned with the way the automatic transmission shifts during acceleration, the tach revs very high before shifting. The rear windows leave some blind spots, however the front seating is comfortable and visability is good in front.

  Very Pleased! - 2005 Chevrolet Equinox
  By Dave - November 15 - 9:50 pm

  We have three children 6, 16, and 17 yrs old, two of which have long legs! We searched over for something to accomodate our family with size, price,and a great look without feeling like we were driving around in a bus! Equinox was the answer, and we are considering buying a second. Very pleased with our choice.
