  One of the most easiest vehicles I have ever driven. I enjoy this vehicle very much. I will keep this vehicle for several years. I highly recommend it to others.

  Nervous New Owner - 2005 Chevrolet Equinox
  By Worry2Much - December 30 - 8:06 am

  When I was checking out the reviews on this site on the Equinox I was gung- ho. Then I read the discussion boards AFTER I bought it. Thought I made the biggest mistake. So far, I enjoy this vehicle. Quiet, spacious, fairly peppy. I have always driven a 5-speed manual (4 cylinder) so this is taking some getting used to!

  Dissastisfied buyer - 2005 Chevrolet Equinox
  By Lisa Testerman - December 27 - 12:56 am

  I love how my Equinox drives, but this car has been in the shop more than it has been on the road. Ive had the brakes worked on 3 times, master cylinder replaced, the whole gearshift assembly replaced, the radio replaced, and the rotors turned twice. It also has a backfiring problem that has been in effect since 9000 miles, but no service person can duplicate the problem when they have it in the shop. I dont think I will ever purchase another Chevorlet. I just wonder if any other Equinox owners have had the problems that Ive had.

  Let me sum it up - 2005 Chevrolet Equinox
  By TCH - December 24 - 8:43 pm

  Ive had my 05 LT for 6 months/8K miles. Yes, the gas mileage could use improvement. Yes, the fabric material on the seats is horrible, they stain so easily. And, yes, the turning radius stinks (steering is very loose. However, its seems to be hit or miss for a lot of Equinox owners when it comes to reliability and vehicle problems. So far, Ive had 0 problems mechanically, it runs smooth and is fun to drive. The back seat comfort seems to be an issue for some, but I have 2 child seats back there, so I cant comment on adult comfort. The stereo, controls, features..all good. I am suspect of the overall build quality, but for under $20K, what do you expect?

  PLENTY OF GAZES - 2005 Chevrolet Equinox
  By FMT132 - December 22 - 10:00 am

  HAVE MY NOX FOR 5 WEEKS AND ENJOYING IT. A LITTLE INDIFFERENT WITH GAS MILEAGE BUT TIME WILL TELL. GREAT JOB CHEVY. HANDLES WELL BUT STEERING TAKES SOME GETTING USED TO. ITS A GREAT FEELING TO HAVE BEEMER AND LEXUS DRIVERS GIVING MY NOX THE ENVY LOOK WHEN I DRIVE PAST THEM. ALL IN ALL A GREAT PKG. HAVE 1500 MILES AND SO FAR SO GOOD.

  Equinox Buyers Beware! - 2005 Chevrolet Equinox
  By HATEMYNOX - December 16 - 11:56 am

  My experience with my Equinox has been the worst experience ever. I have had the check engine light, check oil light, and airbag light come on at least 5-7 times a week. The car has more rattles than a 200,000 mile junker, and with every bump hit, you swear it is going to fall apart. Also, the vehicle has a selective starting problem. It will start some mornings, and other mornings it wont. Everyday there is a new problem and a new mystery cause no one can seem to fix the problems. This is by far the worst vehicle that anyone could ever choose to own

  Cinder Block Seats - 2005 Chevrolet Equinox
  By Disapointed In PA - December 14 - 4:53 am

  Took this on a family trip - we have taken this trip over 75 times in the last 24 years - all but three times was this trip taken in gm cars. THIS was the worst trip as far as comfort was concerned. The seats are like foam covered cinder blocks! I am calling the dealer in the morning to do a trade for an Astro Van.

  Dont like it at all - 2005 Chevrolet Equinox
  By leslie - December 6 - 3:13 am

  This car is too noisy, uncomfortable, interior is very cheap. Not to mention the fact that I had it in 2 times the first month I purchased it, now I just had a u-joint and part of the rear differential.

  the adjustable rear seat allows for a lot of rear leg room. the folding from passenger seat allows for haulig of 8- 10 foot pieces of lumber. the ride is very car like.
