Chevy Equinox - 2005 Review

We bought our Chevy Equinox shortly before our first child was born.  We needed storage room since we travel frequently to visit family.  We didn't want a full sized sports utility vehicle, but knew a regular sedan wasn't going to give us the space we desired.  So, we began looking at the cross-overs.  We liked the Equinox for the fuel efficiency, towing power (we bought a six cylinder), and roominess.  The only thing so far I have discovered that I do NOT like is the blind spots.  The framing between the front windows and windshield is quite wide, and it is easy to miss other cars if you are not diligent in looking carefully.  But, once you get used to this it is not a big deal.  I like the shelf in the back storage area that you can adjust to give you more stacking room.  I love this feature when I go to get groceries!  Gives me twice the 'floor' space for bags.  I also very much appreciate the heated front seats in the winter!! :)
