• Costs as much as the more powerful Saturn Vue, limited drivetrain choices, confusing stereo controls.

  Very Disapointed - 2005 Chevrolet Equinox
  By John Degory - July 25 - 9:33 pm

  The gas mileage is very disapointing. At least 5 miles under what is advertised. Outside design is very sharp. Interior cloth for LT is very cheap. More attention needed to the plastic edges by windows. The dash rattles. The map lights blind the driver when used. Great room in the back seat and headroom. Moonroof is also very nice. Over all interior needs upgraded for LT version. The turning radius is horrible and the outside mirrors need to be heated in the LT version.

  So-So - 2005 Chevrolet Equinox
  By William - July 8 - 1:46 am

  Gas mileage is only 18-20 miles per gallon. The electric steering is terrible. Its like driving a bus when you go to turn. Turning radius much too wide. Fixed mast antenna is cheap plastic. Do not take the car thru an automatic car wash with the antenna on, regardless of what the owners manual says. Needs a larger engine. Rear headrests are too large and block your vision. They should be half the size they are. Window controls on console take some getting used to.

  WV Equinox - 2005 Chevrolet Equinox

  Its not a bad vehicle but it is not as good as the 2002 Trailblazer I traded for it. Figuring out the radio/CD controls is very difficult. The seats are comfortable. The ride is good but the gas mileage is poor. I got better gas mileage with the 2002 Trailblazer. This is a big disappointment!

  Good Car. Bad MPG Killing my pocket! - 2005 Chevrolet Equinox
  By Alex - June 23 - 6:53 pm

  I love my car, the car drives great, I bought it in 05 and I absolutely love it, however the gas is killing me. I have to spend about $50 on Friday to fill it up, then by Monday have about 1/4 tank left leaving me to fill it up on Tuesday again, so basically I am spending a good $200-250 a month on gas alone. Gas mileage needs big improvement, and noise reduction as well. Also a navigation system option should be available. Other than that the car runs and looks great. I am looking to change cars if I find one that gives me better MPG, I think I will be trading it in for a better one, well see.

  Overall Good Performer - 2005 Chevrolet Equinox
  By watergirl - May 31 - 8:16 am

  I went from a European car that gave me nothing but problems to an American car that Im actually looking forward to driving. Gas mileage a little less than perfect but overall, great power, good handling and so much space and comfort.

  Backfiring Problem - 2005 Chevrolet Equinox
  By Jamie Lopez - May 23 - 3:06 pm

  We purchased our Equinox in April 05. I fell in love with the look of this SUV. Reminded me of the Lexus SUV. We traded in our Dodge Ram for it. About 6 weeks after purchase, it started to make a loud backfiring, or popping noise as I would slow down or come to a stop. Also does it when I first start it. Taken it back to the dealership several times. They dont know what is wrong with it. Really emabarrasing when someone at the gas station is complimenting the look of my car & I start it up & it backfires. Very close to trading it in for another Dodge. Engine wants to stall sometimes too when I go to start it. I was very dissapointed in such a pretty car.

  Poor Quality - 2005 Chevrolet Equinox
  By CB - May 21 - 7:23 am

  Traded Suburban for Equinox looking for better gas mileage and smaller size. Poor decision. This car is cheaply made. In windy conditions car blows all over the road. Akward interior, window controls should be on the doors. Horrible road noise in the interior cabin. Leather seats are hard, and backseat feels like a wooden bench. Gas mileage should be better considering the size. I traded it in for a new Yukon, couldnt have made a better choice getting rid of it.

  My Opinions - 2005 Chevrolet Equinox
  By Betsy - April 17 - 9:26 am

  I love my car but there are a few things I would definitely change now that I am an owner: There should be an interior light at the front of the car between the sun visors When the gas is low, it should ding and not just show the gas tank lit up. I have been lucky to be near a gas station when I finally noticed. The steering is a little more difficult to handle when parking than a regular car. Not much storage space in the front of the car
