Author's Product Rating:  Recommended: Yes 
Pros: Exterior styling, rear seat room, ride comfort
Cons: Torque steer (FWD), numb steering, interior materials, price in absence of rebates
The Bottom Line: Great looks and a smooth ride, but middling interior materials and not much fun to drive.
When the party is a hot new vehicle market segment, being late is never fashionable. Rather, the manufacturers who arrive earliest enjoy healthy profit margins and establish images as the class leaders. In the compact car-based SUV segment, among the ...

Pros: Exterior styling; AWD
Cons: Steering; uncomfortable seats; ergonomics.
The Bottom Line: Nice try, better luck next time Chevrolet.
Let me start out by saying that I love our 2003 Chevrolet Impala LS, but as in everything in life change is inevitable. In our case change has taken place in the form a brand new electric wheelchair for my wife (she has MS), and the need to cart it ...

Pros: Attractive Vehicle, Nice Seats
Cons: Road Noise, Engine Noise
The Bottom Line: Chevrolet is making a premium midsized SUV that turns heads-the Equinox.
The Chevrolet Tracker was a disaster, and finally it has been thrown away for good. They were built with nothing but cheap plastic materials, and if you got 75,000 miles out of it that was outstanding. The transmissions were terrible, and constantly ...

Pros: styling, price with rebates, sliding rear seat, cargo room
Cons: cheap interior materials,lifeless steering, bumpy ride, engine refinement, interior environment
The Bottom Line: A smart looking SUV plagued by poor driving characteristics, and sub-par materials.
I have never been the biggest fan of American cars. Their numb steering, floaty rides, and horrible depreciation were a major turn-off.However, recently things have been looking up, and many new American cars seem to be better built and geared toward a ...

Pros: It does everything so well that it makes the entire ownership experience great
Cons: Again, the steering, just a little too soft. Needs a telescoping wheel.
The Bottom Line: Best Value in Class. Just a classy SUV with alot to offer
The Equinox is a once every decade type vehicle-the type that is incredibly well designed, exceptionally well priced and yet likely to be largely ignored due to its placement in a crowded market and the fact that it wears a Bow Tie. This is unfortunate, ...

Pros: Good stereo, AWD
Cons: HORRIBLE GAS MILEAGE
The Bottom Line: Beware of the false gas mileage claims. Stay away form this vehicle.
We have owned our 2005 Equinox LT AWD for about 6 months. Some aspects of this vehicle are good, some are very bad. At this point I would not purchase another one of these vehicles. The interior has some nice creature features. The stereo is ...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Styling, smooth ride, roomy interior, price, safety ratings, comfort
Cons: Tight steering, interior light
The Bottom Line: Would highly recommend this comfortable and stylish SUV, especially for a small family. Is very roomy despite being categorized as a compact SUV.
I purchased my Equinox in October and I am very happy with it. I find that it was a great value for the price and the styling is very eye-catching, unlike some of the foreign counterparts in it's price range. I was immediately impressed by the roomy ...

Pros: Exterior style
Cons: Miles per gallon, windshield performance in winter!!!
The Bottom Line: Fine driving if you only want it for the city without snow. Overall avoid it.
I purchased a Chevy Equinox LT AWD in December. Here are my thoughts: 1. Where's the 19-25mpg? I'm getting 16.5 max! The Mountaineer I was looking at got better than that and its a full size SUV. 2. Snow and the windshield. So it snows and you ...

Pros: Smooth ride, strong engine, and good looking
Cons: Blind spots
The Bottom Line: I would buy this SUV again. No major problems with this SUV. I enjoy driving and even recieved compliments about it.
I purchased my 05 Equinox brand new in October 2004. I purchased it because it was a appealing Chevrolet. I currently have 116,000 miles on it. I love it. The NOX has a smooth ride, even over railroad tracks. It has good power with the 3.4 V6 at 185 ...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Good MPG, ample power, nice layout, plenty of storage
Cons: Road noise, rear seats don't go totally flat
The Bottom Line: Great SUV for the money
Another reviewer talked about the Equinox being a great USA car - it's actually built in Canada. That said, I've driven mine (brand new) since December 2004, and put about 9500 miles on it. The mileage is great for an SUV (I get 20-22mpg), the ride is ...

Pros: LOTS OF HEAD AND LEG ROOM FOR TALL PEOPLE, RIDES NICE WHEN RUNNING
Cons: UNRELIABLE, Untrustworthy, cheap inside doors, feel like tin.
The Bottom Line: unless you plan on driving this car everyday, do not buy it. It will be a headache for you, buy a simpler car with less electronics.
Hi, I bought in 2006, a used 2005 Chevy Equinox thru an auto broker connected to my credit union with an excellent history of finding good, reliable used cars for credit union customers. I test drove the Equinox and loved it. It had been, previously to ...

Pros: Good price point; nice to have an SUV that is a little smaller size.
Cons: My biggest peeve is how loud the fan is when you turn it up.
The Bottom Line: I have been thrilled with this purchase. I absolutely love almost everything about it. I would definitely buy one again.
There is so much to love about my Equinox! Where do I begin? I got mine about 6 months ago. I was really interested in getting out of my car, and back into an SUV. I really like being elevated when I'm driving. I spent quite a bit of time ...

I was recently in a situation to purchase a vehicle and came across this new design. After many test ride I decided to make this a new part of my transportation. The price was made right and the purchasing was easy. The ride is excellent with a smooth ...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Attractive styling; rear seat room; price
Cons: Visibility; road noise; gas mileage
The Bottom Line: Visibility and gas mileage are my biggest issues, but if newer models corrected this I'd definitely buy an Equinox again because of all the things I've loved about the car.
I never planned to buy an SUV, but due to some surgery I needed a vehicle that sat a little higher off the ground. The Chevy Equinox caught my eye, was the right height, and was at a price I could live with. Surprisingly, three years later I'm still ...

Pros: Exterior looks
Cons: Peeling dashboard, radio, mileage, interior staining..I could go on and on
The Bottom Line: STAY AWAY FROM THIS CAR. YOU WILL REGRET IT.
I have a 2005 Equinox. It has 32k miles on it and has been in the shop more than I have driven it! I had it just 4 months when the nicely spray painted dashboard started chipping off. The buttons on the radio wore off. I had it replaced, only to have it ...
