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

  • Best Darn SUV Ever Owned - 2005 Chevrolet Equinox
    By -

    Have owned the new Chevy Equinox for almost a week now. Love everything about it. I have been a pickup man for quite a few years. When picking out a new pickup to replace my older one the Equinox caught my eye. I immediately asked to drive it, fell in love with the vehicle from the getgo. Love all the features about it, very roomy for a midsize SUV, comfortable to drive. The new 5-speed automatic transmission works great, very nice shifting. It has very little road noise. The 3.4 V- 6 is more than enough engine for the vehicle. Cant wait to take it on vacation next month. I know it will make the driving comfortable.

  • THE AMAZING EQUINOX - 2005 Chevrolet Equinox

    There is nothing about this car that I would not describe as absolutely excellent.

  • Superb Equinox - 2005 Chevrolet Equinox
    By -

    This car is awesome. The primary reason for purchase was for handling in the snow. It is the cheapest AWD available. It also has a very nice body style. I got the premium sound system, it is great!

  • Equinox not what it seems - 2005 Chevrolet Equinox
    By -

    At first we thought we had a winner, but after driving it for a while we found it not what it was cracked up to be. My son plays hockey. Hes a goalie and there is not room for his equipment. The seats on trips, long and short, feel like benches at a hockey game. The controls are confusing. When we recieved the car, parts of the car in the interior were loose. There were stains all in the car, probably the dealerss fault. We wish we had purchased another vehicle!!

    This is the first American car I ever purchased. I love it. Its my 1st SUV too. I will never buy a car again. It has lots of space, and is nice for trips. The rear seats recline. I love, love, love it! Its a good buy. I got a lot of car for little money.

  • Warning Light Problems - 2005 Chevrolet Equinox
    By -

    Different warning lights are coming on. Had to put the newly designed EGR valve on at 5,000 miles. Warning light for the steering keeps coming on. Right front strut bearing was replaced at 300 miles.Speakers in the two front doors vibrate.The dash board had a bad rattling noise.They put foam in to stop the noise. The air duct on the right side front under dash rattled, again fixed with foam.

  • Decent - 2005 Chevrolet Equinox
    By -

    An all around good car. I get horrible gas mileage and I try to drive as conservatively as possible with this car but I still only average 250 to 260 miles to a tank of gas and I have 8,200 miles on it already. There is a wierd clunking feel and noise when I apply my brakes at low speeds. Great sound system though; it is a major step up from my first car. The size is good although it looks like and sometimes feels like you need car seats in the back instead of guitars and equipment like me (it looks like a minivan).

  • Maybe I had a Lemon - 2005 Chevrolet Equinox
    By -

    The car itself is sporty and the funtionability of the seating and space is great. The quality of material is not good, seat fabric stains when it rains, steering wheel material is ruff, radio back plate or whatever you want to call it is all warn off making the car look very very used. My car broke down since the first 500 miles I pick it up, and still is broken ever since then. Get stuck a lot. One more payment. Cant wait to give it back!

  • Replacing 1989 Chev wagon - 2005 Chevrolet Equinox

    I have enjoyed driving this car. Excellent results when towing boats and trailers with 3500 rated hitch. 21 mpg traveling to Florida from New England.
