My husband and I purchased the 2005 Chevrolet Equinox as a Christmas gift for myself in Dec. 2004, just after he returned from a year in Iraq.  We still have the vehicle to this day and I am still satisfied with the quality of the vehicle.  As a military family we move like a pack of wolves all over...

Bottom-Line: Over all, I was disappointed in the Chevrolet Equinox and by the end of the day I was glad to rid of the baby SUV and driving off once more in my comfortable Impala.

The Chevrolet Equinox had first come to my attention some time ago when GM was seriously considering making this beautifully...

This is a great traveling car. I can transport five adult persons in complete comfort. I really like that is does not have that "hump" in the middle of the back set leg room. The floor is completely flat. It is roomy and comfortable. It gets very good gas mileage for its size. I have had no trouble with my 2005 Equinox, which I bought in September 2004. it is Easy to handle. It has a large cargo area. I have gotten three car seats in the passenger seat at one time. The Equinox is very stylish. It has a more femine look that I like. The all wheel drive is great. I have never had any trouble getting...

i have a 2005 chevy equinox. my husband and i were on ou way home and we rearended a caddy. the only dmamge that was done was the engine cradle broke. the car was still drivable. This car is worth every penny. I wouldnt trade this car for anything. the equinox is excellent on gas, and runs really great. it is a daily driver and comfortable on long trips. i drove it 14 hrs to wisconsin and had to stop and fill up 4 times. 2 times there and 2 times back. excellent gas milage. would recommend to everybody. i find that this chevy is my favorite one out of all of them. ii have had a trailblazer and...

I bought my Equinox when they first came out, and I love it!  We bought this with the idea that when we have kids, we won't have to go out and buy a "mom" car, and even though we stil don't have kids, I still Love my car!

It's easy to drive, even for my husband who was TOTALLY against buying an SUV.  The gas mileage is good for an SUV, I get about 17 city/22 highway.  It is also easy to maneuver in traffic.

2 cons - the wind noise when driving is pretty loud.  However, the stereo system has an "auto" control, so it gets louder when you speed up.  Also, the mirrors seem to knock off pretty easily. ...

My 2005 Chevy Equinox gets me to work and back every day on country road and expressway driving.  The total trip is 82 miles and I love being in my Equinox.  It is comfortable driving on cruise control most of the way.  I have replaced the brakes at 28,000 miles, which I am told is good for the first replacement.  My tires lasted 51,000 miles.  I rotated them every 4,000 miles and got good wear.  The SUV responds well in snow and sunny weather.  Ice was a little tricky, but in reading the manual it specifically states when the roads are icy - stay home!

I have recommended the Equinox to...

This vehicle is by far the best for the price I paid. I had a Saturn Vue for one year and traded in for the Equinox. I am truly in love this vehicle is comfortable, stylish, reliable, and affordable. There are no negative remarks I can say about this vehicle. I have owned it for two weeks and can't drive it enough. I love the leather seats with heated cushion. I am a school bus driver and this vehicle is like riding on air conpared to my school bus. I would recommend this vehicle to everyone I am surprised at how many people have never heard of the beautiful, wonderful, Chevy Equinox.

I'm a mom with two dogs and I drive alot. I needed a vehicle with space for everyone, good gas mileage, and a reasonable price tag. My Equinox was everything I needed and more! It is comfortable, practical, easy on gas and very affordable! Other than routine maintenance, I haven't had any problems at all. I am very pleased with the total package. The only thing I can think of that may improve the Equinox is if the hatch could be popped via the keyless remote for those times when you have your hands full with groceries. Other than that, I wouldn't change a thing!

I love my Equinox. I purchased mine new. This is the vehicle for me. Excellent room. I do a lot of travel all year round. This vehicle goes very well. I was very impressed. I love the looks/style of the Equinox and my daughter loves it too. She is 17 and plans to purchase a Equinox also. Everyone that gets into my car is very impressed with the room and comfort of the ride. I love the way all of the seats fold down including the front passenger seat.

This is a great car.  It drives great and handles well in all types of weather.  The sound system is pretty good as well, could use a 6 disc changer, but that is minor issue.  It is a really nice ride as well. Comfortable seats to go with a comfortable ride.  This is just a nice and simple car the style, drive, the design on the inside is simple and makes sense.  I really love this car.

I wish I could find a job where all I did was drive this Truck. I bought My Equinox in 12/2005,and I have enjoyed it every day. I have 2 small children,and I have plenty of room. I can haul most anything in the small but roomy back portion of the Truck.I feel the children are well protected also. All my buddies want to get their own.

When we were looking for a new car i never thought i would actually get a 2005 car. My last auto was a 1996 Jeep cherokee i loved my jeep, but there wasn't much room in it. As soon as we test drove my equinox i knew it was the car i wanted. It is very roomy and takes about $35.00 to fill up. It is very comfortable to ride in.

Good space inside of car.  I bought it new, it's just my daughter and I.  I've driven it to Michigan and back to Texas several times.  The mileage is appropriate for the cars size, but not the greatest.  Cruise control is right on the steering wheel, which is convenient so you don't have to look around the steering wheel to see which part to switch, or hit, or turn while driving.
