    Overall a good vehicle. Very comfortable on long trips with an excellent lumbar control and drivers side seat with many positions to choose from. Actual mileage averages 18.5 mpg with 14,000 miles on the vehicle. The motor is fairly strong and responsive. There is ample room if youre going to haul a lot around. The rear seat movement is simply awsome. With the rear seat folded down there is more room than you would imagine for a vehicle this size. I would purchase this car again if I had too.

    Great SUV for the money. I have had my Equinox for a year now (25K) and have had no problems...Knock, Knock.. The car is spacious inside and has great acceleration and handling. Very fun car to drive.

    This is a very nice vehicle, fun to drive, and looks very good. every were i drive im asked about the vehicle. some people even think its a high end luxury import.(the attention is good) The only problem so far is the 6 disk cd changer which has started to give problems. i returned it to the dealer to check.

    Ive had my Equinox for almost a month now and so far the only problems I have noticed is the gas mileage. Far from the 19/25 on the sticker price. I think Im averaging out 16/20. Other than that, no problems at all. I love it and cant believe I waited so long to purchase my first SUV.

  • I think I got a Lemon - 2005 Chevrolet Equinox
    By -

    At 70,000 km, and on a vehicle only 2 years old a wheel bearing went along with the drive shaft bearing Dealership got GM to cover the parts but I had to pay for labor - not bad. Now at 79,000 km, another wheel bearing has gone. Not impressed - this shouldnt be happening on a 2 year old vehicle. GM is going to cover parts again at least. As for the other points of this vehicle - blind spot really bad at front windows near doors and towards the windshield due to the very large frame. Paint on console chips very easily. Trough at windshield collects a lot of snow, as well as the wheels and you are digging out both areas. Gas mileage could be better for the size of the vehicle.

    Going from a Durango to this car was a change especially since I loved my Durango. After having it for a few months I have to admit I love the Equinox now. Great little car to zip around in. Interior is too light and seats show any dirt. Also due to hail storm got significant damage on my hood. Otherwise constructed well

    I do like my 05 Equinox, but on a long trip my family took, the comfort wasnt the best. There was plenty of room, but I have always had passenger cars which have the seats mounted lower to the floor. I am sure this is the reason for my discomfort on our long trip. The motor could use a bit more power. Even on local highways, the transmission downshifts when going up hills.

    This would be a great vehicle except for the fact that with only less than 2000 mile we hav never gotten more than 16 mpg. Vehicle was rated for 19/25. That is just not true.....

  • First new car - 2005 Chevrolet Equinox
    By -

    This car has handled my NJ/NYC commute quite well! I am very impressed with this car, especially all the features you get for the money. Being that I am a recent college grad, this car fits what I need for my money without making me feel completely poor. I am also into outdoor activities like rock climbing and this is a perfect fit for some crash pads and a few friends.

  • Enjoy the car - but not the gas mileage! - 2005 Chevrolet Equinox
    By -

    I really like the car alot. The exterior design is beautiful - looks like a much more expensive car. Comfort is very good also. The leg room in the back is by far the best. My only problem is the gas consumption. Overall, I would recommend this car.
