    I bought an Equinox about three weeks ago and I absolutly love it! When people see the car they can not believe the features it has for the price.

  • I like it a lot - 2005 Chevrolet Equinox

    The real test was when I took it on the road for a 300 mile trip, both my husband and I did not feel tired like we usually do. Normally we stop every 100 miles to stretch, but we got a late start and drove straight through. No back pain and not stiff. This SUV has a great ride, more like a luxury car than an SUV. Ive had two 4- runners, a Previa, and a Windstar prior to this, and I really feel I made the right choice.

    Fun to drive with plenty of power for me! Highway gas mileage is decent. In city mileage could be improved. Overall, an excellent choice for someone looking for a nice SUV with a sensible and affordable cost.

    I was driving a car that was too low and it started getting harder and harder to get out of the car. I test drove a Chrysler 300, Jeep, 4-Runner and Equinox. The Equinox has the most "solid" feel, both in the driving and the shut-the-door test; it is also the most comfortable of the group. I purchased an AWD with all the bells and whistles, including OnStar. Its a joy to drive. The only drawback is the miles per gallon. I went from a 30+ mpg to about 20 mpg.

    I just recently purchased this vehicle on October 3, 2004. I am very pleased with it but am concernec about the cup holders in the back being too flimsy. Also, something might be wrong with the steering wheel. OTher than that, I really enjoy driving it.

  • Nox - just fun to drive - 2005 Chevrolet Equinox
    By -

    I was looking at Trailblazers but couldnt live with the 15mpg or less they get. The Equinox was a great compromise for an SUV yet 20+mpg. I found most of the vehicles out there look boring. I also was looking for something different, new and fun to drive. The Equinox fits all of these. It gets plenty of looks and people wanting to know what it is. Mine Nox is lazer blue in color which really turns heads.

  • LT AWD - 2005 Chevrolet Equinox
    By -

    Im very impressed with the awd performance. When excellerating from a stop you can feel the energy from all the wheels instead of just the tork from the back wheels. Also the very roomy atmosphere within the cabin is a plus.

  • One Year Evaluation - 2005 Chevrolet Equinox
    By -

    This is the first American vehicle I ever purchased. I am extremely pleased with the performance, design, color, and comfort. There is also plenty of room for 5 to fit comfortably. Its a sharp looking SUV. Thanks Chevrolet, you will always have me as a loyal customer.

    Very nice to drive. Gas mileage is a little dissapointing, but could be a lot worse. Lots of cargo room, with a shelf in trunk that is rubber on one side (for tailgating parties, grocery, etc) and shelf can be propped up to hang groceries and create more cargo space.
