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

  Goes in the snow! - 2005 Chevrolet Equinox
  By D. Fischer - May 31 - 8:56 am

  The vehicle provides a feelng of security. It handles well on the Interstate, accelerates to pass and holds the ground. Road noise is minimal. The back storage compartment could be wider to accomodate a wheelchair more easily. The center compartment lifts up for a great place to put a womans purse of medium size. The back hatch door is a little heavy to push up, but doable. The leg room in the rear passenger seat is adjustable and accommodates long-legged people better than any other vehicle Ive owned. The rear headrests cannot be removed. They are a little wide and block the rear view more than Id like. Just have to be very careful before backing up. Im happy with the Equinox.

  Overall Good Performer - 2005 Chevrolet Equinox
  By watergirl - May 31 - 8:16 am

  I went from a European car that gave me nothing but problems to an American car that Im actually looking forward to driving. Gas mileage a little less than perfect but overall, great power, good handling and so much space and comfort.

  Backfiring Problem - 2005 Chevrolet Equinox
  By Jamie Lopez - May 23 - 3:06 pm

  We purchased our Equinox in April 05. I fell in love with the look of this SUV. Reminded me of the Lexus SUV. We traded in our Dodge Ram for it. About 6 weeks after purchase, it started to make a loud backfiring, or popping noise as I would slow down or come to a stop. Also does it when I first start it. Taken it back to the dealership several times. They dont know what is wrong with it. Really emabarrasing when someone at the gas station is complimenting the look of my car & I start it up & it backfires. Very close to trading it in for another Dodge. Engine wants to stall sometimes too when I go to start it. I was very dissapointed in such a pretty car.

  Poor Quality - 2005 Chevrolet Equinox
  By CB - May 21 - 7:23 am

  Traded Suburban for Equinox looking for better gas mileage and smaller size. Poor decision. This car is cheaply made. In windy conditions car blows all over the road. Akward interior, window controls should be on the doors. Horrible road noise in the interior cabin. Leather seats are hard, and backseat feels like a wooden bench. Gas mileage should be better considering the size. I traded it in for a new Yukon, couldnt have made a better choice getting rid of it.

  Best Chevy Ive Owned - 2005 Chevrolet Equinox
  By Joe - May 8 - 10:50 pm

  Best value in small/midsize SUV category. Best Chevy Ive owned. Very smooth transmission. Nice acceleration. Great looks (inside and out). AWD is wonderful in rain and snow. I got it loaded and couldnt be happier. I read all the ratings in here and most are on the mark. Cupholders are flimsy, but the rear headrests have not been an issue. I would highly recommend this SUV

  Equinox review - 2005 Chevrolet Equinox
  By equinox owner - April 26 - 1:53 pm

  Really fun to drive...it has excellent in and out space especially the rear bench seat. The fold down front passanger seat has been really useful for larger carry items. The manuverability is great. I was really suprised how light the steering is on this SUV. The radio controls take some time getting used to, but once you do, its a great sound system. And I cant say enough about Onstar! Dont know how I got by without it. Saves you lots of time. I went to a ball game and I couldnt remember if I locked my car (sound familiar?) All it took was a call to Onstar and avoided the long walk and waste of time. Ahh! the price of peace and mind. And its free for 1yr! Cant beat that.

  2005 Equinox Review - 2005 Chevrolet Equinox
  By John - April 21 - 1:53 pm

  So far, so good. Only have had it for a short time, but runs nice and is comfortable. Kids love it. Plenty of room for their stuff and to take their friends along. Not sure about gas mileage yet, have heard mixed reviews, but will be the judge myself. Great vehicle for the price, nothing in its class can touch the value.
