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

  • Nox Not Too Shabby - 2005 Chevrolet Equinox
    By -

    Ive owned my Nox for a little over a month now. My only complaint so far is the gas. I see most everyone complains about that and its true, the gas could definitly be better. Im constantly filling up. The little bit of noise I hear when Im driving is a pain, but nothing to really complain about, it isnt a Caddy or anything. Rides nice, havent gotten to experience it in the snow yet, looking forward to that. Sound system is pretty nice love having a sunroof. Spacious vehicle and I do like it so far.

  • Love my Equinox! - 2005 Chevrolet Equinox

    This is my first new vehicle purchase that was not a car. At first the around town gas mileage was suprisingly low compared to my 01 Olds considering they have the same size motor, but after some highway trips I found the mileage comparative. It is stylish and comfortable, easy access for all. I love this vehicle and would highly recomend!

    My husband and I really enjoy the suv. The only complaint that we had was the headrest and the inside seats seemed to be made cheaply.

  • Outstanding A+ - 2005 Chevrolet Equinox

    I traded in my 2002 Jeep Liberty Renegade for the Equinox. I saw the Equinox at the car show in Philly and I absolutely fell in love with it. The ride is smooth especially for me, who recently had back surgery. My kids love the leg room. Its an awesome car & stylish looking.

    Styling is really great as is the ride. Vehicle was replacement for Chevy Tracker, but it really can also be a great replacement for the old Blazer. If you want to save a couple gallons, it could also be an alternative to the Trailblazer/Envoy. Vehicle looks and performs better than all other vehicles we looked at, Asian and American, and it was roomiest in group.

  • 1 test drive did it. - 2005 Chevrolet Equinox

    and I trade in a 2003 car I got only two before test driving the Equinox, we were had no intention of buying a new car until we test drove the Equinox, it is great and we enjoy every minute that we are in it, the price was great too.

  • A Well Designed SUV - 2005 Chevrolet Equinox

    After Buying a first year vehicle i was skeptical about it, but once i got behind the wheel it drive those thoughts out the window. The car felt tight and smooth, and interior room was very comfortable. Definately happy with this purchase.

  • Beware - 2005 Chevrolet Equinox
    By -

    I like the looks, the drive, and there is plenty of interior room. There is too much road noise. The AC fan is too loud. The headrests are too large, and it is difficult to see when backing up, espically in a parking lot. The interior is large and has plenty of leg room in the back seat. We traded a 2000 Durango for the Equniox, and the Nox has more passenger room than the Durango. It drives very nicely on the highway. Here is why my next vehicle will not be a Chevrolet, the cloth seats are terrible. Water leaves a stain that cant be removed. When I tried to remove the water stain with fabric products that I used in the past, the only thing that happened was the stain got bigger.

  • I love this car - 2005 Chevrolet Equinox

    We put a lot of miles on this car, it has been a real work horse for the family. It has over 75K miles on it to date and it has performed flawlessly. I would recommend it to anyone in the market for a midsized SUV. One of the best cars I have ever owned and a great value.
