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

    I constantly get complimented on my stylish new vehicle. But not only is it stylish, it is very functional, i.e. sliding/folding rear seats. It is a value buy!

    The car is very comfortable, quiet and a major eye-catcher! It seems to be the best value for an SUV of its size. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a mid-size SUV.

    Like the power and response. Radio is difficult, but not important. Cup holder in front cannot be used with emergency brake up, doesnt fit. Also, windshield is lower than the moulding around it, so when you are trying to clean the windshield with the wipers, it can only push(snow) so far and then it piles up so you cannot see, especially on the drivers side. Seats are manual, which doesnt really matter except you can only go front and back, whereas a short person like myself needs it to go up.

    Great car for Mom & Dad and 1.5 kids, plenty of room in the back seat to avoid kicking daddy on those long boring trips to grandmas house. Dont expect super gas milage for those around the town errands but will hold its own on the open road. Fantastic engine will have you leaving BMWs and Mercedes eating your dust when the traffic lights turn green. Buy it you wont be disappointed !

  • Lovin it!!! - 2005 Chevrolet Equinox

    I purchased the "Nox" on February 14th fully loaded (heated Leather front seats, sunroof, XM Radio, 6 disc CD changer, etc). No regrets so far, I thought about the Nissan Murano but I would have had to pay at least another 10,000 for all of the options I have with the "Nox". I get lots of compliments and its so fun to drive. The only thing that is concerning me right now is that there is a noise coming from the brakes. Leather is the only way to go in this vehicle, you wont regret it. Love it!!!!

    My wife and I did alot of research on this vehicle. We took one for a test drive and gave it a 9.8 out of ten. Within hours of the test drive we purchased one (and we are not ones to make purchases like this so quickly). Currently we have a 2000 Pontiac Montana and were looking for a second vehicle that was as good or better than the Montana (and the Montana is very good vehicle). Well this vehicle is better. Better ride, handling, comfort (lots of legroom especially in the sliding rear seat) and power. Definately a vehicle worth considering. So who gets to drive the Montana and who gets to drive the Equinox?

    The Equinox is great on gas. Coming out of a Blazer I feel like I ride forever before filling up again. With automatic 4-wheel drive I no longer worry about when is the right time to engage 4-wheel drive, although it takes some getting used to the first few times it kicks in. My only complaint - the headrests on the back seat are too high, making it difficult to see out of the rear window.

    After owning it less than a week we decided to drive from Florida to Indiana. Comfort and driving was superb with great visibility. We love it

    This is the vehicle i take to work every day. This vehicle has great gas mileage and I get stopped in parking lots all the time from people asking questions about my vihicle.

  • So far so good - 2005 Chevrolet Equinox
    By -

    Good Value. Purchased the dark silver metallic LS AWD. Love the look of the Equinox. It uses as much gas at my V6 Ford Explorer that I traded in for it. Thought gas mileage would be a little better but it is not bad. The car is very practical and pretty. Seat padding could be better but not bad. Has good leg room in back. Deep tint glass is nice to have. I am happy overall with the Equinox.
