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

  Good for the traveller - 2005 Chevrolet Equinox
  By Richievan - August 4 - 5:13 am

  This car is great for those who need to travel. It has room, but gets pretty good gas milage (20 mpg). Rides well and is loaded with convenience.

  Very Disapointed - 2005 Chevrolet Equinox
  By John Degory - July 25 - 9:33 pm

  The gas mileage is very disapointing. At least 5 miles under what is advertised. Outside design is very sharp. Interior cloth for LT is very cheap. More attention needed to the plastic edges by windows. The dash rattles. The map lights blind the driver when used. Great room in the back seat and headroom. Moonroof is also very nice. Over all interior needs upgraded for LT version. The turning radius is horrible and the outside mirrors need to be heated in the LT version.

  I LOVE IT - 2005 Chevrolet Equinox
  By LANILALA - July 15 - 10:00 am

  I HAVE DRIVEN HONDA ACCORDS FOR THE PAST 9 YEARS. I HAVE NEVER BEEN INTERESTED IN A CHEVROLET UNTIL I SAW THE EQUINOX. I AM SO HAPPY WITH MY PURCHASE, I HAVE NOT MET ONE PERSON THAT HAS NOT BEEN IMPRESSED WITH THE GREAT STYLE OF THE CAR. I DO AGREE WITH THE OTHERS ABOUT THE BLIND SPOTS, BUT I WILL GET USED TO IT. I DO RECOMMEND THIS VEHICLE (SUV) TO OTHERS.

  Outstanding Automobile. - 2005 Chevrolet Equinox
  By PhillyMike - July 15 - 10:00 am

  The Chevy Equinox offers such a smooth ride for a SUV. There was no comparison after mytest drive of the Equinox with other SUVs. Not only is the Equinox a stylish automobile it has great gas mileage and a great interior. I would highly recommend the Equinox if youre looking for a Midsize SUV.

  I Love my Equinox! - 2005 Chevrolet Equinox
  By Mike - July 11 - 12:16 pm

  I have driven a pick-up truck for 30 yrs. While working on the paperwork for my new 05 truck I saw the Equinox on the showroom floor. It looked good so I decided to check it out. I took it for a test drive and loved it. I bought it instead. I love it and havent got one complaint!

  So-So - 2005 Chevrolet Equinox
  By William - July 8 - 1:46 am

  Gas mileage is only 18-20 miles per gallon. The electric steering is terrible. Its like driving a bus when you go to turn. Turning radius much too wide. Fixed mast antenna is cheap plastic. Do not take the car thru an automatic car wash with the antenna on, regardless of what the owners manual says. Needs a larger engine. Rear headrests are too large and block your vision. They should be half the size they are. Window controls on console take some getting used to.

  WV Equinox - 2005 Chevrolet Equinox
  By Ray - July 5 - 6:16 pm

  Its not a bad vehicle but it is not as good as the 2002 Trailblazer I traded for it. Figuring out the radio/CD controls is very difficult. The seats are comfortable. The ride is good but the gas mileage is poor. I got better gas mileage with the 2002 Trailblazer. This is a big disappointment!

  Good Car. Bad MPG Killing my pocket! - 2005 Chevrolet Equinox
  By Alex - June 23 - 6:53 pm

  I love my car, the car drives great, I bought it in 05 and I absolutely love it, however the gas is killing me. I have to spend about $50 on Friday to fill it up, then by Monday have about 1/4 tank left leaving me to fill it up on Tuesday again, so basically I am spending a good $200-250 a month on gas alone. Gas mileage needs big improvement, and noise reduction as well. Also a navigation system option should be available. Other than that the car runs and looks great. I am looking to change cars if I find one that gives me better MPG, I think I will be trading it in for a better one, well see.

  Chevrolet has a winner!! - 2005 Chevrolet Equinox
  By CV - June 8 - 10:00 am

  I just got my Equinox and I couldnt be happier. This vehicle is SHARP. Kudos to the designers on this one. Mine is the AWD model with every available option. Everything inside is right where you would expect it (with the exception of the heated seat control). Its got a lot of pep and fun to drive. I dont know why edmunds says the radio controls are difficult. They couldnt be easier to use. It also has lots of cargo room and leg room for second seat passengers. The doors open up wide, to accommodate large items or handicapped passengers. For the money, its the best small utility vehicle available today!
