  My Opinions - 2005 Chevrolet Equinox
  By Betsy - April 17 - 9:26 am

  I love my car but there are a few things I would definitely change now that I am an owner: There should be an interior light at the front of the car between the sun visors When the gas is low, it should ding and not just show the gas tank lit up. I have been lucky to be near a gas station when I finally noticed. The steering is a little more difficult to handle when parking than a regular car. Not much storage space in the front of the car

  Needs Some Improvement - 2005 Chevrolet Equinox
  By JLW - April 16 - 12:56 am

  I have owned this vehicle for almost 3 years and 85K miles. Overall, I been pleased so far. I like the ride and the stylish exterior. Things I dont like: I have had the radio/CD player replaced 6 times, sometimes I have problems with it starting (its never actually not started just a little hesitant), silver interior on doors and around radio chipping off, awkward placement of cupholders, gas mileage not what I was expecting, small gas tank, and placement of window controls. Ive decided to keep and see how long it will lasts since its almost paid for. Overall, a good car for the money, but could definitely use some improvement.

  Surprising value - 2005 Chevrolet Equinox
  By senseless - April 15 - 10:00 am

  The Equinox, though not perfect, is a remarkable buy. I was concerned about early reported defects, but mine arrived with no problems. Do yourself a favor and get the leather option. In LT trim, its only $550 and makes a huge difference in interior quality. The stock sound system has excellent clarity and the styling is a knockout.

  My Equinox LS FWD - 2005 Chevrolet Equinox
  By Betz68 - April 4 - 9:00 am

  I love my New SUV. I have driven it back and forth to Florida 3 times since purchasing 3 months ago (1000 miles round trip) It does well on interstate. Only Problem I have had, is I went from a small sports car to this and I am not used to feeling the wind move me on the street.

  Great vehicle - 2005 Chevrolet Equinox
  By Adam Seate - April 3 - 3:20 am

  We just bought Equinox after having test driven almost all of SUVs in its class. Neither of us liked the Santa Fe, I liked the Liberty - she didnt, she liked the VUE - I didnt, I liked the Escape - she didnt. We both loved the Equinox the moment we test drove it. Great price, and you get a lot of room for the size. Highly recommend you give it a try!

  Were Lovin It - 2005 Chevrolet Equinox
  By Were Lovin it - April 3 - 3:00 am

  Weve only had it for 4 weeks, but it has been great. The price cant be beat in any comparable SUV. We looked as about 15 different cars and SUVs and this one was the one that caught our eye. Not just its looks, but how enjoyable it is to drive. Its power throws you back in your seat, the leather is soft, yet feels strong. My daughters enjoy the stereo. The steering is tight or loose when needed and I had to watch the tach to make sure the transmission used all 5 gears. With the drivers seat all the way back, I have plenty of leg room in the back and I am 64". However if you stomp on the gas, hang onto the wheel or the steering may get away from you.

  Like vehicle, hate MPG - 2005 Chevrolet Equinox
  By Teresa - March 27 - 5:23 pm

  I researched and reviewed this vehicle for close to a year, reading everything I could find on it, then waited and waited until it was available to purchase. VERY disappointed with gas mileage, since that was one of the most important things to me. I have the LT FWD, and got 21.5 on a trip last summer. Get about 15 around the small town where I live. I really like everything else about the vehicle, but the mileage figures are a joke! Also, the head rests on back seat hindered vision until I figured out how to remove them.

  I love my Equinox! The price is excellent and it drives beautifully. It looks great, is a great deal, and is loaded with desirable options like satellite radio, side airbags, and sound system.

  I Enjoy my Equinox - 2005 Chevrolet Equinox
  By Janice Gosselin - March 17 - 9:06 am

  Only have 5,000 miles on this vehicle to date but I enjoy driving it. I was disappointed with gas mileage; highway driving is only giving me 20-21 miles per gallon.

  A Great Little SUV - 2005 Chevrolet Equinox
  By Happy Equinox Owner - March 15 - 7:36 pm

  The Equinox is the true Sport Utility Vehicle. Sport - With the AWD, it can handle almost any road condition. The five-speed transmission and well proven 3.4-liter engine provide the power needed to merge into traffic while obtaining 25 mpg on the highway. Utility - The adjustable back seat appears to provide more back seat room than a Suburban allowing four adults to ride in comfort. It tows 3500 pounds. Negatives The fold flat seat could fold a little flatter. The upgraded radio is a great option if you enjoy jamming.
