  • Outstanding!!! - 2005 Chevrolet Equinox

    I have had many vehicles over the years and I feel I know what I like in a vehicle. Being on the Fire Department and working for the Sheriffs office, I need to be able to get to work or get to a fire call regardless if its snowing or sunny weather. I also have plenty of room for all my fire gear plus my passengers and any groceries, shopping bags that we happen to pick up along the way. Its a wonderful SUV. I had a brand new Mustang, had it for a year then fell in love with the Equinox! The only thing I recently found out about is the cooling system needs to be changed due to the antifreeze and the materials used in the hoses not compatible....but thats minor and covered.

    i think the Equinox looks great and was a good price. The whole car is very roomy and rides nice.

    I bought this SUV for its roomy interior as both my grandson (15) and I are well over six feet. A fine choice, I might add. That rear seat makes a big difference. The style both in and out are very good. ***** I AM 83 AND I LOVE IT *****

  • I love my car! - 2005 Chevrolet Equinox

    I have looked and admired this vehcile since it first came out!And I finally got the deal that I wanted and the car that I wanted with the features I desired! This is the only car that my husband and myself both agreed on. We went to the dealership and drove off that day! Plenty of room for 2 growing boys in the back. Looking in from the outside doesnt do it justice! My in- laws even said that from the outside it didnt look like it had much room but when they opened it up and rode they themselves were really impressed! I cant say enough about this SUV other than I waited a long time to fall in love with a car and I found it in the Equinox!

    I found that I like this vehicle even more than I thought I would. Peppier than expected,handles well, and rides comfortably. Plenty of room for me and my large dogs ( two over 100 lbs.) The gas mileage could be a little better and I will agree that the stereo controls could be a little simpler to use. The stereo is excellent sound though. I am really pleased with the styling inside and out.

    Ive had some intial quality problems. The front struts seem to be faulty. They are on back order so it has become a headache to deal with. Overall the rest of the car I have no complants the stereo in excellent. There is more back seat room than any other car Ive been in.
