    I was in need of replacing a 99 Expedition that was a PIG on fuel, and rode like a hay wagon. I wanted something smaller, comfortable, a GM product, and more economical. I selected the Equinox, after looking at the Saturn and found it to be well. BLAH. I looked at Buick and found them to be well to dressed up, and so as I am partial to Chevrolet and not too crazy about the big price on the Trailblazer, the Equinox fit my needs.

  • Watch for Blind Spots - 2005 Chevrolet Equinox

    So far my Equinox has been a great purchase. However, if you drive in the city the head rest on the back seats create a horrible blind spot. I had to get the dealer to remove them so I could see. Also, I dont find that the air conditioner cools that well. I thought something was wrong with it, but the dealer checked it and said it was fine. Ive had better cooling cars. Its a comfortable SUV to ride in. It has the look of an SUV, but it drives like a car.

    I am 41 yrs. old. I am a machine tech. at delphi automotive in Warren, Ohio. I think I know a little something about machinery, and let me tell you, I love my Equinox. I have owned many cars in my time, all GM. I won`t drive nothing else. And by far the Chevy Equinox is the best I have ever owned. The Equinox is very solid, well put together machine.

  • We Love our Equinox - 2005 Chevrolet Equinox
    By -

    Had it 4 wks now. Love it more. We drove all the SUV we could in 10 days. Love the feel, handling, easy turning, and love the roominess and how nice it drove over allkinds of roads, real comfortable. I did not get back problems after 2 to 3 hours of non stop driving. We have not found one thing we disliked. Nice to fill up and it takes less than $25 to fill it. Lots of room for storage and I have a Thule and we put dogs in rear and luggage on top. took a few minutes to change the top luggage rack for the tubThule and get it on The lights are great at night, the mirror was great as well.

  • Nice looks but poor quality - 2005 Chevrolet Equinox
    By -

    I bought this truck in April and since then it has been in the shop 4 times. The first issue was the right front shock broke within 2 weeks of owner ship. Then the interior ceiling was falling in. Also, my hatch back light wont turn on. The most recent thing was my check engine light was on. The cause was the silver gas intake pipe wasnt centered and there for when the gas cap was on it did not create a tight seal causing gas fumes to leak. It is a beautiful vehicle but it has no quality to it. Also the blind spots are incredible. It is hard to pass on the interstate because you have to take your eyes off the road to turn around and look to see if it is clear behind you.
