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

  • Enjoy the car - but not the gas mileage! - 2005 Chevrolet Equinox

    I really like the car alot. The exterior design is beautiful - looks like a much more expensive car. Comfort is very good also. The leg room in the back is by far the best. My only problem is the gas consumption. Overall, I would recommend this car.

    This vehicle has received many comments regarding its design and overall looks. It is very peppy, handles easily, is easy to park and maintain. The rear seat slide feature adds more than enough room for passengers and groceries. I am looking forward to taking a long trip vacation in the near future. Because of its mileage capability, the trip should be inexpensive and great fun.

  • I love my Equinox - 2005 Chevrolet Equinox

    It is very attractive and fun to drive. You sit up high so that you have a good field of view and it still allows you to get in and out easily. I am only 5 3." The seats adjust to my stature very well. I can slide my groceries and golf bag in and out of the back with ease. It has lots of pep yet excellent gas mileage. I love this vehicle!

  • Drove 275 miles to get one! - 2005 Chevrolet Equinox

    My wife and I had ooked for one since March and finally got our today. It was the LT1SE package. Black with Tan interior leather and it is great looking. It looks like the new BMW SUV. We turned heads the whole ride home. The car handles great. Nice turn radius and low road noise. The inside is very spacious and very driver friendly to operate. We got a shade over 24 MPG on the first interstate drive. It will go up after it is broken in a bit. I am extremely pleased with this vehicle and with the money I spent. Great bang for the buck.

    problems with front struts from date of purchase. To much engine noise for new Vehicle. Vehicle not as roomy as advertised.Should be at least 215 hosepower.

  • a few complaints - 2005 Chevrolet Equinox
    By -

    The car is well built, fun to drive, and very comfortable. My only complaints are that there is no built in ashtray for smokers, and no shield to keep water out if window is partly down. Both these items have to be bought, ordered, and installed.Also, power window buttons on the center console was a dumb idea. Small things, but overall is a great SUV for the price.Previous problems with struts, smell, and water in tire well, have been fixed at factory on new 2005s

  • Awesome! I love it! - 2005 Chevrolet Equinox

    I traded my Camaro for my new Equinox! It is absolutely fantastic. I love the handling ability and all the storage. My friends and very tall Father love the extra leg room in the back seat and also love the adjustable back seat feature! I feel very safe and secure in my Equinox and would recomend anyone trying it out. I love it so much, I talked two of my best friends into purchasing one and also my Grandma!! She loves it better than her van and shes 68! Thanks Chevy!

  • Chevrolet did it right. - 2005 Chevrolet Equinox
    By -

    Chevrolet did a fine job of combining a great looking exterior to a well thought out and practical interior. The rear seat room has to be seen to believe and the features like the multiple powerpoints and rear fold away table are very nicely done. The fit and finish are excellent and my vehicle is completely loaded with an MSRP at $28,000. The only drawback was the percentage of foreign components GM put in the vehicle. On-Star, in car telephone, 6 disk CD changer and the huge sunroof are great options. Everything being considered, this is a very nice mid sized SUV with a carlike ride.

    The last car I bought was a SAAB convertible, last year of the classic design. I loved that car....called it Sven and we were together 6 years. Now I have an Equinox, and I love this one even more. I call it Heifer because Im in wine country now & it fits in with the cows.
